Just like the hand-delivered Tomah VA memo seeking his help, Senator Russ Feingold apparently failed to read the recent Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report regarding the importance of national security in the Wisconsin Senate race.
As the Journal Sentinel explains,
"…their rematch could give us the sharpest, starkest debate over war, terrorism and America’s role in the world of any Senate race in the country in 2016…Wisconsin’s U.S. Senate race ought to be a marquee battlefront in that debate."
Feingold continues to widen the stark divide on national security between himself and Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson.
Just yesterday, Feingold – who also voted against establishing the Department of Homeland Security, expressed to WKOW the pride he still feels for his lone vote against the PATRIOT Act following the September 11th terrorist attacks:

"I’m very proud of that vote and will always stand by it."
"Very proud" of voting against terrorist surveillance.
Senator Feingold’s pride for his own weak foreign policy is surpassed only by the pride he feels for President Obama’s.
Unlike the 57% of Americans who disapprove of the way President Obama is handling the threat of terrorism, Senator Feingold is never shy to declare his endearment for the administration’s foreign policy.
FEINGOLD FLASHBACK:
"I think [President Obama] could end up being one of our great presidents from the point of view of our international policies."
"I think the president is as well informed and intuitive about international issues as almost any president we’ve ever had."
“Obama has a very sophisticated sense of the world. We’re lucky to have a president who understands these things.”
“I think [Obama’s] foreign policy record overall has been very good.”
As conflicts around the world continue to escalate, Wisconsinites deserve far more than Russ Feingold – the mouthpiece for Barack Obama’s failed foreign policy.
