I Found Some Fine Gold - Feingold!

Here is a letter which may get me kicked out of LPIN. But this guy looks like a closet libertarian.



Dear Russ,

I am a Libertarian and agree with many of your views. I had considered you a diehard irresponsible big government big spender. To my surprise, your state responsible system on health care matches my views fairly closely and when you put it that way, universal health care is a good way to propose it. I appreciated the following at your website on health care and the budget:

Health Care
All Americans deserve adequate health care and it is far past time for Congress to take action on this pressing issue. I support a state-based, American-style approach to health care reform, where each state, with the federal government's help, comes up with a plan to make sure that all of its residents have health care coverage. Such an approach would provide universal health care for all Americans by encouraging the flexibility and creativity that are necessary to ensure nationwide access to high-quality, affordable health care.

Deficit Reduction
One of the main reasons I first ran for the U.S. Senate was to restore fiscal responsibility to the federal budget. Since I was first elected to the Senate in 1992, I have worked to bring Wisconsin's historic tradition of fiscal responsibility to Congress, an environment where wasteful spending too often dominates the budget process.

I was proud to work to reduce and briefly eliminate the federal deficit during the 1990s. But today the federal budget is once again in the red. Unless we return to fiscally responsible budgeting, Congress will saddle our nation's younger generations with an enormous financial burden for years to come. This is why I continue to offer measures to cut wasteful federal spending, and enforce budget discipline.

Mr. Feingold, the jerk in chief needs to be impeached. (but first the V.P.) The more I look at you I can see you have too much sense to disagree. (Although maybe not yet ready to admit in public.)

Almost the entire armed forces that have said anything need to be fired at the general level or above. (Oddly, a general named William Wallace, like the Mel Gibson "Braveheart" character talks like he is not a traitor to the Constitution.)

I don't believe you can win a Democrat primary. I hope you can talk to Ed Thompson in Wisconsin. Their website is http://www.lpwi.org/. If you can get out some of your libertarian credentials (and perhaps more of your state-based solutions moved to education) they will accept you with open arms. Their convention is April 8th. I know it is soon but I am sure they would love to hear your comments on censure (or something better ;>))

I hope to see you shaking hands with Bob Barr at our Indiana LP Convention at the end of April. (If I could see this without paying I would definitely be there.)

I will paste this letter on my blogsite at: www.lpvc.blogspot.com

Thanks for your service.


In Liberty,
