SACRAMENTO (AP) ―

Boxer, announcing her bid for a fourth term during the California Democratic Party convention in Sacramento, told delegates to anticipate attacks by special interest groups.

Even though she easily won re-election in 1998 and 2004, Boxer has been a consistent target of Republicans because of her relatively liberal views. She attributed the animosity she generates from conservatives to being unafraid to stand up to anybody, including former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Prosecute them under RICO would be a start.

Good luck with that, with Eric Holder as AG.

We need to find a way to get between them and our tax dollars for one thing. Secondly, we will probably have to infiltrate and destroy them from the inside.

Agreed.
Californians love these beasts we call senstors.

Top it all off with Governor Moonbean Jerry Brown (again) pretty soon too.

Anybody who wants to beat Boxer has to look at her strategies that got her into office.

Boxer is the Queen of the Late Hit. She has won all her elections by dumping dirt on her opponents in the last two weeks of the election.

She beat Bruce Hershenson by dumping stories of visiting a strip club.

She beat Matt Fong by dumping stories of donating to anti-gay groups.

She beat Bill Jones because Jones phoned in his campaign from I don't know where.

A real candidate can beat her.

Have no idea how we could stand between them and our tax dollars that will be a tough one. Interesting about taking them out from the inside.

I hate to say this, but methinks the most effective way would be to overwhelm these sleazeballs with lawsuits every place that they operate.

Suing ACORN for the public good. Lawyers, that's the kind of pro bono work that would make your momma proud.

Wishful thinking.

Boxer will win by a million votes. At least three million illegals will vote for her.

California is forevermore a Democrat lock. Get used to it. The only thing that will save America is when the hispanic vote reaches 51%, at which time they will secede and rejoin Mexico.

Nah, that's not it. Conservatives just don't like stupid people trying to run the county.

All the more reason for California to be made into 2 states. NOBODY in Sacramento gives a rat’s backside about any area of California south of San Jose. The state is ruled by SF’ers.

That sounds like a pretty good idea. Would certainly put the courts in quite a log jam.

“Have no idea how we could stand between them and our tax dollars”...

Let's find a way to form a legal blockade. I know that there are enough good legal minds here at FR to figure out how to do this.

First and foremost, we have to hurt them financially.

I wish I could believe it will be a tough fight. I assume she’ll cruise to victory.

Even at the cops’ funeral in Oakland, she pushed all the Lib crap she could...

She needs to go back to Marin and wring her hands about global warming.

The republican party in CA is non-existent! The party never supports the candidate. They assume we can’t win, and, as it turns out, it is a self fulfilled prophecy.

Boxer and Di Fi are two of the most damaging senators, yet we can’t seem to vote them out of office.
