Boxer represents the MAJORITY

[ewagner]

Barbara Boxer has taken a lot of heat about her opposition to Condi Rice as well as being the only Senator to object to the Ohio Electoral vote.

But she doesn't deserve one moment of that heat over Condi Rice because Barbara Boxer is speaking for the majority of Americans!!!

Remember this: in poll after poll, a solid majority of American don't believe the invasion of Iraq was the right thing to do . In most cases it's something like 53% of people polled believe this. That's a solid majority and certainly MORE of a majority than Dubya's 50.8% popular vote.

Given that fact, Barbara Boxer now has one of the chief instigators of the Iraq invasion before the Senate, under oath. It is one of the few chances the MAJORITY has to hold someone accountable for the miscalcualtions, mistakes and LIES that got us into the mess in Iraq.

Senator Boxer is representing the majority who believe the war was/is a mistake and DEMAND that someone be held accountable.

1. to say nothing of how many people

think that if you royally screw up on your job, and 3,000 people die in one day, you should get fired, not promoted.

[ewagner]

3. True also

but I'm trying to focus on one point for sake of influencing others...do you think the post would be a good LTTE?

[mopinko]

5. yup

fire away.

[electropop]

2. The anti-war numbers I've heard are more like 60%.

Boxer is acting in her own self-interest by being aggressive, and those Dems in Congress who fail to understand that will find themselves on the ash heap of history.

4. Lieberman is on making me ILL NT

[ladjf]

7. Lieberman is a Republican. He is defrauding his state who

thought they were electing a Democrat.

9. I hope and believe that you are correct on this.

[ladjf]

6. Damn straight!

[rodeodance]

8. she is being for calling the WH/Condi "lyers"---not that the war is wrong

I see this as very different.

[ladjf]

13. I haven't heard her say that the war was wrong.

However, if lies got us into it, that makes it wrong automatically.

[Nederland]

10. You assume

That all those that oppose the war oppose Condi Rice. Why do you make that assumption? I haven't seen any polls that indicate that...

[ewagner]

12. The logic is

Majority oppose the war

Rice is a prime supporter of th war

Therefore opposing Rice is opposing the war.......

[Nederland]

14. You assume

...that the American people are logical. I've never seen evidence of that.

[ewagner]

16. ...touche'...

my bad....... :evilgrin:

11. Come on, I'm not letting the ? % off the hook, fuck polls,they fucked u

15. Did any polls show that a majority of Americans opposed

the qualifing of the Ohio electors? :shrug:

[Freddie Stubbs]

18. I guess not

[fooj]

17. Damn straight she is!!

Don't forget that before the war, polls showed that the American public DID NOT SUPPORT INVADING IRAQ! Shrub did it anyway! Like he gives a rat's ass! I have complete faith in Boxer. Last night on local news, the newscaster ended the segment of the hearings by saying "YOU GO, GIRL!" I couldn't believe my ears! Finally!

19. But the minority rules

altogether different representation.
