Totally unelectable for President but a great great man. A saint with a track record to match.
As GQ (!!??) sums up Russ Feingold:
A brief recap: He was the only U.S. senator to vote against the Patriot Act. The only one with the guts to raise the notion of impeachment. One of the very few to have a consistent record against the war in Iraq. The only senator, it seems, who has truly earned his maverick status.
And, because it is Pride Week and because I spend much of my life trying to find every tax-break possible for my wealthy married clients and because GQ is tooooo straight to even acknoweldge such issues, this too from the Senator hisself:
April 4, 2006 Washington, D.C. -
Responding to a question posed at his Kenosha County listening session over the weekend, U.S. Senator Russ Feingold said he strongly opposed the proposed civil unions and marriage ban facing Wisconsin voters this November. He also expressed his support for the right of gays and lesbians to marry. Feingold holds listening sessions in each of Wisconsin’s 72 counties every year. Later this year, Feingold will hold his 1000th listening session as a U.S. Senator.
