Barbara Boxer just showed the whole Democratic Party how to kick GOP ass

[democracy1st]

Lindsey Graham took the floor and threw a frat boy tantrum, and senator Boxer took him on. She didn't stutter and she didn't equivocate. With force she called him out on his theatrics and asked how many times he pulled that trick during the Bush years.


One thing is perfectly clear about the Democratic party and that is the women are a hell of alot stronger than the men. President Obama needs a fighter to back him up and call these liars out, and expose their dirty deeds.


For as long as I can remember republicans have ridiculed,lied and disrespected democrats,time for change.

[tblue]

1. Can't we just make her Senate Majority Leader already???????

She's MY senator. My ONLY senator, and I adore her.

[jillan]

3. Amen to that. She would get things done.

[villager]

6. My thoughts exactly -- on all counts (as another Californian!)

n/t

[trueblue2007]

29. I say yes!!!!!! Barbara Boxer is NOT afraid of anything.

[uponit7771]

39. +1 !!!

[calimary]

57. +2!!!

She is utterly righteous!!!

She wouldn't get rolled like Harry Reid does, almost every hour on the hour.

She would certainly gain us back some respect here in California. Nancy "IMPEACHMENT is off the table" Pelosi and Dianne "My ego! My ego! He didn't consult me!!!" Feinstein leave a rather bad taste in the mouth.

I'd trade a thousand of each of those useless, capitulating jellies for ONE Barbara Boxer. Not sure I could give you a buck-98 for the whole lot of the rest of 'em. Well, except maybe for Gary Ackerman of New York. He UTTERLY ROCKS!!! He should replace Pelosi and Boxer should get in the ring instead of Reid. Doormats and Neville Chamberlains need not apply.

[Rockholm]

77. +3 !!!

[Ignis]

110. My + goes to 11 !!

[ejpoeta]

67. OMG!! i was thinking that same thing the other day when i heard about

this.

[depakid]

84. We have to find a face saving way for Harry Reid to step down

or else defeat him in 2010- one way or another.

[goclark]

97. 2010 hurry up

[SleeplessinSoCal]

120. Or else, Obama still wants to try the bi-partisan approach for a few more months.

[hamsterjill]

91. I second that!

She is unfortunately NOT my Senator. I'm stuck with Cornyn. But Barbara rocks!! She's not afraid of taking the Repukes to task.

[goclark]

94. Make her in charge immediately ~ she is the voice

that America needs to hear!

Love her!
A little piece of leather - well put together.

[truedelphi]

116. One of the few voices of courage & reason throughout the long Bush years. n/t

[BanzaiBonnie]

108. Oh, how I'd love that

Taking names and kicking butt.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

117. I don't think Reid's as bad as many here do, but I'd get behind Boxer in a heartbeat. (nt)

[jillan]

2. Oh man - I watched it happen.

She has got some balz & I love that lady!

Lindsay deserved every bit of it.

[Cha]

40. That must have been very

satisfying!

[Muttocracy]

4. sorry I missed it but I'll be in the c-span archives looking - she took on Barrasso yesterday too! n

[Shardik]

63. There's a YouTube video up here now.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=385&topic_id=268729&mesg_id=268729

[WinkyDink]

5. Amen to your entire post. I am sick unto death of our Casper Milquetoast, After you, Alphonses.

[Still Sensible]

7. Go Babs!!!!!!!! n/t

[CrispyQ]

8. She's fantastic!

I saw it & it was beautiful!

[dgibby]

36. I thought his head was going to explode and spew his tiny brain onto the carpet.

He's my senator, along with DeMint-talk about Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumber! What an embarrassment.

[ikojo]

9. Wow, if only Nancy Pelosi was made of the same

stuff as Barbara Boxer.

STOP kissing Republican ass, Democrats! THEY lost! I did not vote for the DLC or for a retread of the Clinton years.

[defendandprotect]

48. It's not a personality difference . . ..

it's a difference in allegiance ---

Boxer to the nation/people ---

Pelosi to DLC/establishment ---

[kmac3]

92. Perfectly Stated

"it's the difference in allegiance ---

Boxer to the nation/people ---

Pelosi to DLC/establishment ---"

Couldn't have been explained or defined any better.
You go Sen Boxer :yourock:

[Myrina]

10. We WON, Goddammit! Time we start acting like it!!!

:patriot: GO BARBARA!!!!

[defendandprotect]

111. We won two years ago --- !!! Reid/Pelosi elected to end wars -- !!!

As Pelosi acknowledged immediately on film . . .

then she refunded the wars for two years --- !!!

This idea that when elected officials take off in a corrupt direction is something

that we should "sit around and wait and see about" is a huge mistake.

You can't travel two paths/two directions at one time ---

The Treasury is bankrupted --- these are insane wars --- end them now!!!


Get on with single payer health care --- now!!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

11. I love the way BB calls these schmucks out. Would have made an excellent VP.

[defendandprotect]

52. Yes . . .and would love to see Barbara Boxer on Supreme Court --- !!!!

Unfortunately, these are the type of Democrats the DLC doesn't back ---

[ronnykmarshall]

12. Bar Box ROX!

[me b zola]

13. And Lindsey responded with lies

Lindsey cried that it was not a bipartisan bill. Of course when a republican says that they mean that it is not 100% rebublic.

I'm glad that Obama is going to go on prime time to reveal the lies and obstruction of the republics.

[ejpoeta]

68. what needs to be said to these people:

while you sit here posturing and trying to make yourself look good, your constituents are LOSING THEIR JOBS. they are losing their homes. they are worrying how they are going to feed their families. You can afford to sit here and position yourself politically, because you have a paycheck coming in. You have the best health insurance paid for by these same people whom you seem not to be too concerned about right now. Your ideas have already had their chance. they are the reason we are here having to create a bill to try to fix it. to try to get our economy moving again. so before you go whining about bipartisan, when you and I both know that you had no intention to be a part of this bill from the start, go look your constituents in the eye and tell them that your pride and your politics are more important than their job or their family. you tell them that your desire to block recovery or even the attempt at recovery is more important than their ability to feed their family and their dignity. sure, we may need all these things that we are trying to get through, but you want to stand in the way of help for Americans because you CAN. to prove that you can.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

98. Tell it!

Obama was making these same points to the Dem convention (I saw it thanks to a DUer who gave the C-Span link). It's good to know the President is well aware of this!

[stopbush]

14. As a male Dem, let me say this: our male D congress critters

all suffer from a big case of penis envy. No, not penis envy, wealth and connection to wealth envy.

Rs are connected to wealth. They can afford all of the big and shiny new toys that the rich people have. They pal around with rich people.

Dem male congress critters are a bunch of wannabees who are intimidated by Rs who are better off than them financially and who are "respected" by the business types and the uber-rich. You separate the men from the boys by the price of their toys, goes the saying.

So, unless you're a Dem who already has a strike against you - ie: you're a woman, you're openly gay, you're black, you're Kucinich - you spend your days in the old boy's club pining for the same stature that the R old boys have.

[WinkyDink]

21. And, ironically, lose even more respect from male voters.

[Demeter]

26. Except For Howard Dean!

and evidently he is roundly despised for it by his brother Democrats in office....

[LisaM]

109. Howard Dean was from a wealthy family, though

Maybe not a Rockefeller or Getty, but still wealthy.


"Dean was born in East Hampton, New York, to Howard Brush Dean, Jr. and Andrée Belden Maitland, an art appraiser.<4> He is the oldest of their four children, all boys.<4>

Howard's father worked at Dean Witter; the family was quite wealthy, Republican, and belonged to the exclusive Maidstone Golf Club in East Hampton. As a child he spent much of his time growing up in East Hampton; the family built a house on Hook Pond<5> there in the mid-1950s. There the boys – Howard, Charlie, Jim and Bill – "rode bikes, played with a model train set, built elaborate underground forts." While in New York, the family had a three-bedroom apartment on the Upper East Side part of Park Avenue, where Dean still sometimes stays.<4>

Howard attended the Browning School in Manhattan until he was 13, then went to St. George's School, a preparatory school in Middletown, Rhode Island.<6> In September 1966, he attended Felsted School, UK for one school year after winning an English Speaking Union scholarship."

[BrklynLiberal]

119. The rest of that paragraph...

Political opponents have been reluctant to seize upon Dean's privileged early life.
UPI quoted one of Dean's friends in his youth as saying "By Hamptons standards, the Deans were not rich. No safaris in Africa or chalets in Switzerland. Howard's father went to work every day. He didn't own a company, or have a father or grandfather who founded one, as mine did."<8> Peggy Noonan wrote in the Wall Street Journal that "he doesn't seem like a WASP. I know it's not nice to deal in stereotypes, but there seems very little Thurston Howell, III, or George Bush, the elder, for that matter, in Mr. Dean...He seems unpolished, doesn't hide his aggression, is proudly pugnacious. He doesn't look or act the part of the WASP...It will be harder for Republicans to tag Mr. Dean as Son of the Maidstone Club than it was for Democrats to tag Bush One as Heir to Greenwich Country Day. He just doesn't act the part."<9>

[karynnj]

122. He was still quite wealthy

It reminds me of a NYT article on NJ that spoke of some extremely wealthy person who lived in Harding Township in NJ, a VERY wealthy town, as being surprised to find the estate he bought was "on the wrong side of town".

[BrklynLiberal]

126. as were/are the Kennedys and the Roosevelts.

[karynnj]

127. I completely agree, and like them, he chose a life of public service.

It is idiotic to attack people for their background. They are good or bad depending on what they do.

(I admired that Kerry in 2004 never challenged that he was born to a high social strata - even though his immediate family was less wealthy than Dean's. The distinction is meaningless and in both cases, they had contacts from birth who could and would help them that most of us never had. Those connections actually mean more than having millions.)

[LisaM]

128. That's as may be, but Hampton standards aren't what we're necessarily talking about

He's richer than most of us, and richer than a lot of the Senators they were referring to. He's on that side of the divide. I'm not saying that he hasn't used his privilege for good - as the Kennedys have - but I felt that the implication was that Dean had somehow pulled himself up by his boot straps.

[genna]

28. Over the top on male Democrats

I don't know that Kerry who married the rich has that problem. He's no weak kneed man.

Durbin does not lack stature or guts either. Feingold hasn't been a shrinking violet in my opinion.


Men are motivated by more than power, money and sex.

I think the Democrats in the Senate have lacked the desire to call someone to heel because they abide by the collegial hype. Republicans have one strategy: attack.


Democrats are punks because they don't rip somone's head off. We are weak because we don't belittle other people.


We are strong because the substance is what matters most to us. Republicans will lie and tell you what they think you want to hear while they do whatever they want to do.

[stopbush]

30. If our Dem congress critters acted more like Boxer and Obama

I wouldn't say what I said.

[karynnj]

125. Obama was NOT one of the Democrats who was most likely to speak out

before he was a Presidential candidate. Find something from 2005 or 2006. Anger and speaking out are not the best ways to become President or even win over people on the other side,

[MadMaddie]

38. We are strong because substance matters

however; we will always be the skinny body on the beach getting sand kicked in our face. We have to bulk up and get a spine and stand toe to toe with the Rat bastard Repugs. We don't have to resort to their tactics but we are smart enough to beat them.

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have failed us because they talk a big game but when it get down to it....the crawl away and pander to the Repugs.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

49. Let's not forget

Dennis Kucinich and Bernie Sanders!

[janet118]

85. Bernie is not a Dem . . .

He is a Socialist.

[defendandprotect]

50. While I agree in large part that there is a certain belief in a level/base of

behavior which shouldn't be eroded --- and I've seen it succeed long, long in the past ---

and even a little bit right now with Repugs being a tiny bit nicer at hearings but only

because they don't want the public to see what rats they really are.

HOWEVER, there is a difference between being cordial, pleasant, whatever and letting

Repugs walk all over you as Harry Reid does. And Pelosi.

In their cases, it isn't so much a matter of being too nice -- but a difference of loyalty.

Boxer is protecting the nation/citizens. Reid/Pelosi are protecting DLC/Establishment . . .

the owners of the country.

And, you'll always hear from them how the GOP blocked them.

Coincidentally, the GOP blocks them whether the GOP is the minority or the majority!

And the Dems NEVER can seem to do the same.

[dgibby]

37. I think they suffer from Stockholm Syndrome.

[defendandprotect]

51. No . . .

Reid/Pelosi suffer from attachments to DLC/Establishment . . .

the owners of the country - Power/money.

[karynnj]

121. Have you looked at the list of Senators by wealth?

Many of the most wealthy are Democrats, including the wealthiest. In addition, I think most have better values than you imply.

Your post is an insult to the serious dedicated Democrats.

[BattyDem]

15. We really need her as majority leader

We need a fighter - someone who isn't afraid to look the Repukes in the eye and call them out on their BS! That "someone" is definitely not Reid! :-(

[xxqqqzme]

112. How did Reid ever get the

political juice to be elected majority leader in the first place?

[stray cat]

16. Lindsay - what did you do to the Clinton surplus over the last 8 years?

[glitch]

17. I wish they could all be Barbara Boxer.

But Diane Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi make your argument that Dem women are stronger than Dem men fail, really, really sorry. I wish they didn't, but they do.

There is only one Barbara Boxer.

[Oldenuff]

42. Amen to that!

Feinstein and Pelosi make a strong argument AGAINST female leadership,and we all know it's true.

[Cherchez la Femme]

86. Oh please! What BS

Would you say something like "Reid makes a strong argument against male leadership"? Of course you wouldn't, so it's ridiculous for you to post that.

People are people, gender doesn't come into this.
Feinstein and Pelosi are terrible, admittedly; however their gender is circumstantial. There are a ton of male milquetoasts
especially (unfortunately) with a D after their name & title.

Unbelievable.

47. Um, that's homophobic.

[Cherchez la Femme]

89. Homophobia on DU?!

Noooooo, c'est impossible! Say it ain't so! :eyes:

I see the poster got tombstoned (wish I had gotten to see what he said, also how long he'd been here), but it's interesting the guy (Edit: girl) who fully agreed and thought it was tres amusing (*snapped!*) is still here...

Why does it seem things just get worse here, at least no improvement?
Seriously. :(


BTW, do you know the etymology/development of 'got/received/was delivered a pizza' instead of 'tombstoned'?
I don't quite get the connection or analogy... Thanks!

[Uzybone]

19. Reid would have pissed himself

[Submariner]

20. Women are used to raising and nurturing

whiny ass little babies, so this was easy for Boxer to pull off. I'd like to see her do it more often.

[PylesMalfunction]

22. Here's a video from TPM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHdyPi4uo1Q

[democracy1st]

24. thanks

[BootinUp]

23. I have no problem with strong women

Go Boxer!

She is possibly my favorite out of all 100 Senators already.

[huskerlaw]

25. That's my Senator!

Now if only we could replace DiFi!

California tries, it really does...for all of our faults, we balance it out with Barbara Boxer and the 9th Circuit. Both of whom deserve props today.

:toast:

[BlueCaliDem]

41. ^5 huskerlaw - mine too! I agree about DiFi but lately, she's been making nice

and it's freaking me out - lol.

Have you also noticed she's on the airwaves and around Pres. Obama's pressers a LOT lately too?

Curious...:shrug:

[ErinBerin84]

27. I love her.

I remember when, during the financial crisis, she said on MSNBC "McCain is getting very nervous, all this talk about the economy . Do you want to know why? I'll tell you why. Because of KEATING 5!"

[Phx_Dem]

31. Sometimes it takes a woman to show how it's done.

Bravo Senator Boxer.

[kaygore]

32. Boxer is my hero! I wish we could get rid of Feinstein!

[MrSlayer]

33. He seemed to get the better of it in the clip.

Did she follow up by kicking his ass? She called him out and he ran her over. Where was the great victory in this? Did she ask the second question? I'm not seeing why we should be standing up and cheering here.

[democracy1st]

54. actually this clip doesn't show the initial facial reaction after his shenanigans

[bertman]

104. MrSlayer, it looked to me like he was stammering and whining like a pussy boy who

just got tagged and was trying to come up with something. And that something was WEAK.

[Hieronymus]

35. I just called Sen Boxer's office to congratulate her on telling Lindsey off.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

43. Hurrah!!!

:toast: :fistbump: :yourock: :woohoo: :woohoo:

[BlueIdaho]

44. To hell with Lindsay Graham

and to hell with these sanctimonious republicans. I'm proud of Boxer! The change I can believe in includes frog marching the whole lot of these reich-wingers off a cliff. I say put Boxer in charge of the Senate and send that wimp Harry Reid to the back benches. I'm tried of watching him piss his pants every time a republican raises their voice.

[abq e streeter]

45. Unfortunately spinelessness is a gender-neutral trait among our party's "leadership"

(Pelosi,Feinstein...) BUT, not Barbara Boxer at least . She's one of a small handful that I really respect and admire.

[Zhade]

46. Stronger, unless that woman is Nancy "Let The Criminals Walk" Pelosi.

NT!

[Left Coast2020]

53. Proud to have her as my Senator too!!!

Yes, I wish she could be majority leader too. But Durbin is next in line. Someone should send Boxer this thread.

:yourock: :fistbump: :yourock: :fistbump: :yourock:

[opihimoimoi]

55. Lindseys Mission was to disparage the Dems and Obama...pure and simple

Fuck him....Throw him into the lava pit

[Lorien]

56. I didn't really see any ass kicking on that clip

but it's good to see a repug on the defensive for a change.

[Muttocracy]

58. I appreciated it more out of the longer clip

http://c-span.org/Watch/watch.aspx?MediaId=HP-R-15146

Also liked Durbin correcting Lindsey (I think he's just mad he wasn't one of the group of 16 senators)

Also loved it today when Durbin called McCain for his outrageous statement that the bill had zero defense spending and McCain had to backtrack.

[The Wizard]

73. Bitching about defense spending is akin

to Rush Limbaugh crying poverty.
We should be cutting defense spending. 19 guys with box cutters defeated the world's most expensive military. Cut defense spending in half and we'll all be better off, excepting defense contractors and those in Congress who get "campaign contributions" from them.

[HughMoran]

59. Same here

That's not enough of the back & forth to describe as an "ass kicking"

[democracy1st]

61. the video skipped his initial tantrum and facial reaction i'll try and find a longer vid

and he shot back like he always does he's so full of sh..

[Cherchez la Femme]

93. I think we're so starved for any reaction

to Repub tantrums, that must be noted. Comparatively to Dem reactions in the past, that WAS 'kicking ass' (however BB has always had more cajones --if I may use that term-- than most of her male counterparts).

Now if she had followed up with one or two bon mots, that certainly would be kicking his ass... I wish there was more of the clip to see if she did.

The whole thing is sad, but at least something was said instead of the de riguer of letting them get away with it.

[avaistheone1]

60. She my Senator too. Boxer is smart, classy and real leader.

She truly loves this country.


:kick:

[AllyCat]

62. I liked her for POTUS, but she didn't run. I'd settle for

Senate Majority leader. She'd rock.

[Optical.Catalyst]

65. Lead, follow, or get out of the way. It is time for Reid to get out of the way

I for one would love to see Senator Boxer become the new Senate Majority Leader.

[GetTheRightVote]

64. Goes with the name, Boxer !!!

:kick:

[MrMickeysMom]

66. Sent Senator Boxer my respects...

She actually takes mail from other states of the union. She actually wants the states to stay united, I suppose.

[LaydeeBug]

69. I'd hardly call that a smackdown. Truth be told, I think he bested her. nt

[cherish44]

70. She nailed him

He was acting like a fool and she called him out. If you see a longer version, you'll see him waving the bill around in the air. He looked like a idiot.

[LaydeeBug]

75. I admit I didn't see the longer version, but the link in the OP doesn't show the smackdown

it promises. He even tells her he won't be quiet, it's his time, not hers.

No rebuttal.

[GoCubsGo]

76. Yep.

My Senator, the Drama Queen. I hardly see how causing this schmuck to throw a tantrum makes her look bad.

What's really sad about Lindsay Graham is that his constituents don't like him, not for embarrassing displays like this, but because he cozies up to the Democrats too much!

[WillyT]

71. Big K & R !!!

:kick:

[bdamomma]

72. oh yes, I saw her put him on the spot. Bravo Senator Boxer!!!

[The Wizard]

74. It's time to open some Republican closet doors.

Graham and McConnell would be a good start. Methinks some of J. Edgar Hoover's wardrobe might be found in those closets.

[GoCubsGo]

78. I think most of Graham's constituents probably know...

...what is behind his closet door. Around here, we knew all about Essie Mae Washington, Sperm Thurmond's daughter, long before it was ever made public. It's the same with Lindsay. We know...

[Boxerfan]

79. And that is why I am a BOXERFAN!!

I've been asked if my DU name was from a pugilistic view or was I a VW fan??

No sillies-I'm a Barbara Boxer Fan!

Since she chewed Condi a new one I knew she had bigger cajones than all the men in the comittee-combined!

[Jefferson23]

80. Way to GO Senator Boxer, and why do we have to be stuck with

Reid, who's ass other than his own does he kick.

[demo dutch]

81. Great !!! TIME FOR US TO KICK BUTT - Contact your Senators!!!!!!!

[Highway61]

82. she's awesome

what's with him sashaying when he speaks?

[old mark]

83. I never liked her, but I like her a lot after this. nt

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

106. What Could You Have Possibly Not Liked About Her Prior To This?

She's one of the best and brightest in congress.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

87. "The countries going to get worse."

That's right you little putz. Thanks to you and bush things will get much worse before they get better...that's a given.

He makes these comments so he can come back and say "I told you so." A real freaking prophet that one.

[dglow]

113. Es tu Brutus

Lindsay Graham has the nerve to wave the Stimulus Package Bill with disdain and declare that its passage signals America's days as an economic power are numbered. He should know. As a Bush insider,he knows where all the bodies are buried. Thirty years of Republican sapping our country's wealth and this pansy is complicit in the massive theft of our treasury. The hypocrite has got to go! South Carolina voters WAKE UP! Boot this guy to the curb.

[Roxy66]

88. How do we get rid of Harry Reid!!!!!?

[jae1227]

107. 2010 election

[rucky]

90. Yes, there's certain guy behavior that women just don't accept.

Boys club members & associates tend to operate on a separate set of standards.

not all cases, so don't slam me for generalizing.

[CtDemoFarmer]

95. Boxer/Ensign amendment

If you saw Boxer speak to her amendment the other night you
might not think so highly of her. She wanted to give
Corporations that repatriate their profits a 5.3% tax rate and
if it were not for some good Democrats it would have passed.
And by the way Graham got the best of her.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

96. OVARIES !!!!!!!!!!!! She's got ovaries!

GO, WOMAN!!

Thanks for the vid :hi:

(and for those in the thread stuck on it, let's dump the damned "2 balls good. No balls, bad" trope.)

[yellowcanine]

99. I definitely want "THAT ONE" on my side in a bar fight. Or any other fight.

[relayerbob]

100. Long time Boxer fan here

Have repeatedly sent emails asking her to run for President, so I certainly concur on her becoming Senate Majority Leader.

[David Zephyr]

101. Everyone is talking about this: Boxer was amazing...but she always is.

That's my Senator and I love her.

[ensho]

102. re: " the women are a hell of alot stronger than the men"

women don't have to worry about their testicles, we don't have any. frees up the mind for making better decisions.

[digidigido]

103. If that snippet was the entire interchange I don't understand what everyone here

is raving about. I love Barbara Boxer, but she hardly destroyed that loud mouth in this clip. He kept talking
and made his point, and did not back down. Yes he was theatrical but if you think that;s defeating a
right wing talking point, put down your milk and cookies and go stand in a corner

[donco6]

118. Me either.

Am I missing something?

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

105. She Always Does. She's By Far The Best We've Got And I Wish More Mainstream Folk Knew Her.

She's fucking brilliant, strong and the epitome of integrity.

[LatteLibertine]

114. Put her

and Dennis on the same ticket. I'd vote for 'em.

[katty]

115. Go Barbara!!

[BrklynLiberal]

123. I have missed seeing her in the news. She is a great woman..and great Senator.

I could do without Feinstein and Pelosi very easily.

[BrklynLiberal]

124. Not enough Boxer and too much Graham in that video. :D

[liberal N proud]

129. I expected to see the Daily Show que up the place where he objected

to bu$h spending.

Oh wait, there isn't one.

[liberalsince1968]

130. All she did was give him a chance to play the victim - which he proceeded to do for

much longer than her accusation lasted!

They were both grandstanding, IMO.

[UrbScotty]

131. Come on. No need for stereotypes or generalizations.

One thing is perfectly clear about the Democratic party and that is the women are a hell of alot stronger than the men.

Why the hell are you stereotyping?

[demo dutch]

132. Love Box!

[davefromqueens]

133. I'd support Boxer

For Senate Majority Leader and President in 2016.

[olegramps]

134. I wish that she would have slapped the arrogant bastard.

He was nothing but a filthy Bush C-sucker. Just another ignorant racist Southern SOB.

[craigmatic]

135. nothing like a strong sexy democartic woman

Senator Boxer is all of the above. That woman is hot.
