MADISON, Wis. — Russ Feingold announced Thursday he will run to reclaim the U.S. Senate seat he lost five years ago to Republican Ron Johnson, fulfilling the hopes of Democrats who have been pushing for the liberal to return to the political arena.

Feingold said in a 90-second video to supporters that he will run for the seat in 2016.

Got emails from Ron Johnson begging for money to defeat Feingold.

Told him (his email handling staff) “I don’t care. You are a fraud.”

Just like Abrahamson (state supreme court) liberals simply cannot move on, even when voters have given them the boot. Liberals truly believe that ruling over others is their birthright and that any other decision, by voters or otherwise, is illegitimate.

They view themselves as the only legitimate political rulers.

It’s gonna be ****ing tedious listening to mouth-breathers root for RUSS FEINGOLD (who pees red, and not because of blood) to beat “evil RINO” Ron Johnson.

If I see one more numbskull say they hope our next Republican President has a rat Senate that would s**t on his judicial nominees I’m gonna reach through the computer and slap them upside the head.

“Clinton, Bush, Feingold... do these people ever go away?”

Think of them as drug resistant venereal diseases....

So if Ron Johnson wins the GOP nomination, you would prefer for the pro-abortion, pro-same-sex-”marriage,” pro-higher-taxes, pro-gun-grabbing, pro-open-borders, pro-environmental-extremism, pro-liberal-judges Democrat Russ Feingold to win the election, and serve for at least 6 years? Gotcha. Some “conservative” you are.

What is Johnsons voting record does he consistently vote with democrats?

Is Johnson being challenged by a conservative?

Would Feingold be a better choice?

I’ve been holding my nose all my life in the voting booth and look where it has gotten us. I’ll no longer be played by RINO’s. Don’t worry, I’ll write in a good conservative if I have to. Wasted vote? Yes. My last vote for Johnson turned out to be wasted as well.

He doesn’t consistently vote with the Democrats...only when it matters. He makes symbolic votes for conservatism when he knows it won’t hurt the liberal cause, he then uses those votes to try to pull the wool over the conservative voter’s eyes.

I get it, I voted for Rubio who as far as I’m concerned committed treason, I would never vote for him again under any circumstance he can never make up for his deceit and all his attempts to do so are obvious, he does vote conservative but if it means getting what he really wants he will flip in a heart beat, like Judas he is all in until he ain’t.
