The RNC released a radio ad on Tuesday in Wisconsin that they plan on running for approximately a week (full text of the ad can be found below). The ad accuses Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin of proposing to censure President Bush “for pursuing suspected members of al Qaeda,” which we all know is not even close to the truth because this is exactly what Sen. Russ Feingold had to say when he introduced his resolution on the Senate floor on March 13;
No one questions — no one questions — whether the government should wiretap suspected terrorists. Of course we should and we can under the current law.
A day earlier, on March 12, Sen. Feingold had this to say;
This issue is not about whether the government should be wiretapping terrorists — of course it should, and it can under present law.
Senator Feingolds resolution would censure President Bush for the way he illegally went about ordering the wiretaps not for the wiretaps themselves.
