Barbara Boxer seems to have forgotten a great American tradition: The fact that we are a nation of unity and patriotism when it comes to supporting our troops. Thats why her attack on Secretary of State Condoleezza Rices patriotism is so outrageous.
When our country fights evil, our hearts and souls are engaged not because my son or daughter, or your children, or your neighbor's children fight for freedom; we unify over the fact that America's sons and daughters are fighting for freedom.
As the mother of three and the wife of a retired naval officer, it has never occurred to me that my single friends feel any less patriotic, any less of a loss when a warrior falls in battle, or that they feel any less pride over our men and women in uniform than do I.
Yes, some families suffer far more deeply than othersbut for Barbara Boxer to imply that the single or the childless care less deeply about America and our future, or that they have any less voice than she does, reveals a level of arrogance and selfishness rarely seen even in the worst of political climates.
Barbara Boxer should be deeply ashamed of herself. The senator should immediately apologize to the U.S. Senate for representing her colleagues so poorly in an official hearing, to Secretary Rice for the disgusting display of disrespect, and to all Americans for insulting our collective patriotism.

I have a real problem with FORCED apologies.
I am sick and tired of the Dems holier than thou attitudes. It takes a really shallow stupid person to vote for anyone with a (D) by their name.

Yes, she SHOULD be, but she's a democrat, so she WON'T be. If a Republican said as much, they'd be calling for a resignation.

In addition, the Graton Rancheria casino has hired attorney Doug Boxer, son of Sen. Barbara Boxer, lobbyist Darius Anderson, and former Clinton spokesman Chris Lehane as advocates. Both Boxer and Anderson own part of Kenwood Investments, the company that will help broker the land sale in Sonoma to the tribe. wonder if Bela cares about whether or not Boxer's family stands to gain millions in what is obvious a shady deal right under her nose...so much for ethics

The entire senate has descended to levels previously unknown. They don't represent the American people, they are low class, rude, ignorant people who have bought their way into the system. They don't belong there

Since I choose not to pay attention to Boxer (for obvious reasons), the question arises, does she have any children in the military or who have served in the military?

I guess Bouncin' Babs needs to recuse herself from any financial votes and debates since she can't balance a checkbook.

Condi should have asked Boxer if any of her children were serving. That would have exposed it for the lie that it was.Naw. Boxer would have just shot back with something like, "Are any of Mr. Bush's children in the military? Humm??"
B/c you know she had that extra ace up her sleeve just in case.

Harold Ford Jr's. dad was number two in the check scandal. At least the people of Tenn. had enough sense to keep him out of the Senate.

Good Point Senator Boxer!
George Washington had no biological issue- I guess that was why he was so quick to send other people's kids to war?

"I have a real problem with FORCED apologies."
I am with you! Let their words stand. Instead, an apology is forced, media shows a ridiculous semi-apology and then re-tools what was said in the first place. Voila! "What she meant to say......"

Boxer's statements were directed at Condi, not the Bush's.

This is who the Democrats are. It reminds me of the old saying no one can give you what you lack in yourself. If someone lacks character and class that is not something any one can give to them. Either one is born with nobility of comportment or one isn't. As for the Democrats - this is the essence of their nature. To ask them to be different is akin to asking the scorpion to stop stinging because that is its nature. So it is with the classless vulgarity on display from Barbara Boxer and the Left in our country.

Besides the dreogatory cartoons, from the islamofacist, the only other similar remarks about Condi have come from Zihrinovsky( sp) and Achmadenajahd. Two raving nutcase anti-semeites, one of which is bent on ending the world.
Nice company you have chosen ms. boxer.

Actually, she should have said: "You have children who weren't aported Senator Boxer? Or do you only advocate abortion for MY people?"

I agree!
The big difference between Condi and Boxer is that Condi does the work because she's devoted to her country. Boxer does the work because she's devoted to herself.
