The Wisconsin senator boasts of his strong support for gun rights even though the NRA gave him failing grades during his last two re-election bids.
The increasingly strained efforts by Wisconsin Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold to ingratiate himself with conservative voters don't appear to be having much effect. His GOP challenger Ron Johnson has led in every major published poll since July, and currently has a lead of seven points in the RealClearPolitics average of recent polls.
That hasn't stopped Mr. Feingold from trying to reinvent himself as the original Tea Partier. He plugged away again in this week's debate between the candidates, calling himself the authentic "maverick" in the race. "I have actually done the things, most of the things, [Tea Party supporters] are concerned about," he said, noting his votes against bank bailouts and the Patriot Act. "They should vote for me."

Russ, even if I believed you for a millisecond all I have to do is look at those you write bills with to know that you are no tea partier.
Anyone involved with the McCain-Feingold free speech elimination act is an enemy to the Constitution and the public.

You just can’t make this up.
From “The Tea Parties are filled with a bunch of astro-turf, far right, racist, loons!!” to “I am a Tea Party member.”
How do their heads not explode?
To: GOP_Lady
Wisconsin voters are poised to oust Rusty. It will probably happen. But we CANNOT allow a squeaker of an election. WE MUST SQUASH THIS GNAT WITH A GIANT FORCE. A close election works in the gnat's favor because they have fraudulent tricks up their sleeves.
Please, please, PLEASE don't stay home on Nov. 2. The weasel must be forced to pack his bags.
Not just a win, a beyond-the-margin-of-fraud win!
