Republican Wall launches campaign against Feingold
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Republican real estate developer Terrence Wall is traveling across Wisconsin this week to officially launch his campaign for U.S. Senate against incumbent Sen. Russ Feingold.
Wall plans stops in seven Wisconsin cities on Tuesday and Wednesday. In an interview Monday, Wall says his focus is on creating jobs, lowering taxes and building a stronger national defense. Wall also opposes the health care reform bill in Congress which Feingold supports.
Wall calls Feingold a career politician who's out of touch with voters. Feingold's campaign did not immediately respond to a message.
Wall is one of two Republicans in the race. Also running is Dave Westlake, a small-business owner in Watertown.
The primary is Sept. 14 and the general election is Nov. 2.

Thanks for the heads up, bun-bun. I see, after being away for a bit, retarf is still pumping his rock-sure gospel, faithfully.

republiberal and mabusejuvenalis you missed the point. Wall being in real estate has an inside on the properties that will be changed into the re-education camps that you will be sent to if Russ looses an election. He stands to make a fortune on real estate when Cheney and Haliburton build the camps. Hope you are using a proxy or Blackwater will trace you through your IP.
Be careful man, Obama and Russ got your back but they can't be everywhere.
P.S. darn it, I missed out on the pornographic military spending. I had to buy my own. Is it too late to get reimbursed?

It is hilarious to hear the left whine about clearly partisan media of the right yet are clearly silent on the tantrums of the left media.
I guess they must agree with MSNBC host Ed Schultz who said this concerning the vote today in Mass: "I tell you what, if I lived in Massachusetts, I'd TRY TO VOTE TEN TIMES. I don't know if they'd let me or not, but I'D TRY TO. Yeah, that's right, I'D CHEAT to keep these bastards out. I would. 'Cause that's exactly what they are."
No, telling listeners he'd cheat, ELECTION FRAUD, is just the normal things accepted by those that think people on the right are goose-stepping---try not to trip on your feet as you overlook reality.

Way to go republib: somebody around here's got to muster the energy to talk the truth to all these Limbaugh/Beck screeching-liar wannabees. The goosestep lockstep Repubs are only allowed to vote one way; none think for themselves, and these cheerleaders think they are being trod on. They're all "uniters," just like baby Bush, and the sleeping electorate sleeps on. When HL Mencken called it "The Great Boobocracy,” he spoke 75 yrs ahead of his time.
**
But, on second thought if the big money boys running the bulk of our media gave me $400 mill like Limbaugh, I'd probably be willing to become such an amoral ass too. He makes as much in a wk as the President is paid in 2 1/2 yrs. And these boobs think he speaks for them?? And pretty-face sweet-crooning Paul? Such a nice well herded lad. . .
**
No, republib, the boobs will never never never never learn: it is a primary function of boobism to know you are right and never let facts get in the way of your hot head “truth,” much less seek them out. They are irremediable and it only wastes your energy to think otherwise. America is in the toilet anyhow, with its nonpareil corruption, license and massive pay-offs to financial manipulator-giants and its pornographic military spending, more than the next 15 countries put together. The smart countries know the waste in these crazies’ policies, and our binding to them only gives those countries and the others on the ascent more room to play.
**
Obama is trying to bring much needed water to our once great land they made dry, in a leaking bucket full of their bullet holes. And they just keep firing more buckshot at him. And dancing and gloating about it. I suggest to all who want America to keep parched-throated sinking in one of the greatest falls in all of history: keep goosestep-voting silver-boot-licking false-face forked-tongue Republicking.

For all you rush listners and republicans, you cant remember what happened the last 9 year, 1 under obama and 8 under Hitler!! I hope all of you that lost your job because of bush and are still republicans lose everything else, your first in line for free handouts but dont agree with them 1st in line for free healthcare(badgercare) I know because i work with the morons ... its obvious you lost your marbles!! i am an independant, and feingold is so much better then having one that votes party line and has no balls to stand up for the right of the people that vote them in!! No!! they are afraid of Rush.. he is the one that runs your party folks.. Look at Ryan!! He has done nothing... absolutley nothing for this area.. He voted for a 2 trillion dollar war and you still vote for him.. and smiling Cheney backs him.. ryan has been on our dime (taxpayers) for years folks.. yes for years, its time to get him out of office as well. I bet all you have little rush teddies you wear as well. wake up and look at what Bush did idiots and if you think you can correct it in 1 year you dont deserve your extra unemployment check im paying for or badgercare that Im paying for. So for all you Rush listners and theres a bunch of you.. have him pay your unemployment with his 400 million and your health care. All your party cared about the 8 years was gay marriage!! and who should marry who. Ya did nothing in 8 years, yes nothing!! your investments went down 30% .. Oh by the way. mine is up 24% since obama came into office, im sure thats because of Bush..NOT... Wake Up.. turn your radio up and grab your cheeto' and listen to Rush.. Then when thats done, dont forget to go online and signed up for your unemployment thats been extended because of Obama, then send Bush a letter thanking him for your job loss.. he likes letters! 99% of republicans are the biggest hipocrits in the world.. Hope you all have a great night! sorry i raddled on, but had nothing better to do before Glen Beck came on.

I don't agree with everything Feingold does, but of all the politicians in Washington, he's one of the few who is unafraid of rocking the boat within his own party. He gets my vote just for that. I'm tired of partisan hacks on both sides who just repeat the same old party mantras, and it sounds like Wall is just another R reciting the same tired old scripted lines. I'd rather have someone like Feingold who at least is willing to vote his conscience instead of what his party tells him to do.
Case in point - the sole vote against the Patriot Act. The guy's got guts.

It is true Feingold is quite out of touch with much of Wisconsin, but he has a solid following in Madison which gives him a HUGE advantage. It'll be hard to unseat Feingold, but I will never say never as it looks like Ted Kennedy's former seat will be won by a republican in a heavily left-leaning state.

Howard Dean said this about democratic voters in an article just a few days ago "While he praised Obama as a good president, Dean said the Democrat hasn't turned out to be the "change agent" the party thought it elected, and voters who supported Democrats in back-to-back elections now are turned off. Said Dean: "They really thought the revolution was at hand but it wasn't, ...and now they're getting the back of the hand.""
