Barbara Boxer pushed a bill reinstating a tribe designated as “defunct” by the BIA 40 years earlier through legislation that she also amended to remove a prohibition on gaming on any land the tribe owned. Rick Manning at The Hill says the deal — and what ensued — would have “made Jack Abramoff blush”:

I read about this earlier today. ANOTHER reason to repeal the 17th Amendment. If these 'country club' Senators weren't so damn comfortable . . .

Were I Fiorina’s communications adviser, it would be on the air right now — with different versions of the ad appearing every 12 hours until Tuesday evening. It is kick-a** time!

The negligent CA LMSM won’t touch it.

Get it to Drudge et al. Ask Rush to mention it on Monday!!! Mark Levin and Savage would put it on the air if we get the info to them.
Asking for help from Freepers who have contacts in high places.

To BobP: Great editing on Boxer. She is an ahole and it is time that we called her that. What a disgrace to the American people.
Hopefully next week, Congress will be largely asshole-free.

During his “Reign of Terror”, Robespierre liked to literally chop off his enemies’ heads. Today, he’d be like Alan Grayson with a brain.
