"They have attached a poison pill -- literally, colleagues -- because it will kill 8,100 more people more than would have otherwise been killed from pollution," Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Cali.) said on the Senate floor today about Republicans trying to roll back a Clean Air Act provision.

"So have that for a Christmas gift," Boxer said after she scared people with the 8,100 number.

She’s slipping. She forgot to mention how many children, dogs, cats, bunny rabbits, hamsters, and zoo animals will die.

BTW, is she absolutely certain it won’t be 8,103? This is important.

"She’s slipping. She forgot to mention how many children, dogs, cats, bunny rabbits, hamsters, and zoo animals will die."

Yep. And this is coming from the same woman who supports forcing mercury-filled, breakable lightbulbs on us...

I thought that good liberals aren’t supposed to say the word “Christmas”. She is not being inclusive or celebrating diversity by her use of the offensive word “Christmas”. What kind of liberal is she??????

The oil producing states should refuse to ship oil or gas to CA. Let this witch use her broom for transportation instead of government paid jets.

Honestly, I’m still shaking my head over the idea that the Left including the environmentalists are thrilled about that.

In reality, you and I are much better environmentalists than they are.

We say, use common sense and don’t hurt the environment if you can help it. They go postal and demand things that will hurt the environment to supposedly help it.

Mercury? Call a hazmat team if you break a bulb? Really?

Good grief.

I got your “poison pill” Ms. Boxer and her name starts with a P and ends with an i. Actually,Ms. Boxer, er, maam, you can be included in my “Poison Pill list along with Pelosi and all the progressives in our government, Ms. Boxer is a waste of oxygen. She rants in her 1960’s “burnt my bra” fashion and looks down the bridge of her nose through those well placed reading glasses and attaches much to much importance to herself. In other words, she gags me.

“it will kill 8,100 more people more than would have otherwise been killed”

Hey, Babs, aren’t you one of those same people who keep wringing their hands over how the earth is overpopulated? You should be WELCOMING a few thousand extra deaths, no?

"Honestly, I’m still shaking my head over the idea that the Left including the environmentalists are thrilled about that."

It's really just Narcissism for many of them when it comes down to it- facts are irrelevant; something is "right or wrong" simply because they say so.

Same thing with gay issues- opposing gay marriage to them is "evil and hateful"... but Islamists killing people because they are gay, well, that's totally different. Because they said so.

I asked if she was physic as to predict the exact number.. the young man who answered said he would pass my comments along.. I asked for a reply in writing, not a form letter.. so I am waiting
