OSHKOSH - Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold got an earful at his town hall meeting in Winnebago County on Thursday.

"The majority of senior people feel that they are getting screwed pardon my French," Pat Braasch of Oshkosh said during the one-and-a-half hour session.

While all topics were on the table, healthcare dominated the discussion. Some expressed concerns about cuts to Medicare. Others asked why a plan that's expected to extend coverage to more than 30 million of the uninsured, would be negotiated behind closed doors.

That was excellent. Feingold is still a lying little skunk.

Anyone in WI who can beat him next year?

Would Tommy Thompson consider a run?

"Would you agree the State of Wisconsin residents don't want this bill?" Rob Rathsack asked.

"Not based on the town meetings, I know the number," Feingold countered. "I was in every county, it was almost 50-50 in the state."

how much of those 50% for the bill (if that's true) were bussed-in SEIU members?

BS. The "townhalls" have been stuffed to the gills with union hacks. Amazing that this was even reported.

Absolutely! Would make my year to unload both parts of the McCain Feingold duo.

Thompson is in the process of deciding whether he will run or not.

I believe Tommy is in favor of government healthcare.

He also got an earful in Ozaukee and Washington Counties on Monday. I wish that he’d follow Dodd’s and Dorgan’s lead and drop out. In Ozaukee he told us that we’d be outvoted in northwestern WI where he has lots of support.
