Reply #70: He was a pain in their neck [View All]

and ass and every other part. He wasn't the only Senator to stand up...Feingold spoke and alone voted against the Patriot Act but had many views and votes in common with Wellstone.

However Wellstone was running for re-election that year and the repubs wanted the majority. Feingold was not.

Wellstone was also a frequent guest on political shows. That was how I first noticed him and I just adored him. He was everything I dreamed a politician would be, very bright, thoughtful, spoke directly without spin, had humor and graciousness, wisdom. I loved him, he gave me hope in America.

His was a voice that was invited to speak and he spoke well, convincingly.

It just doesn't seem enough to kill someone for, but then what would. That's why I wondered if he was about to reveal something or had confronted them with something. But it might be enough that he was who he was and was up for re-election and was winning.

I can't believe the accident investigation was let go with so much unexplained.

What a loss, what a void he left.
