“Where the FUKKARWEE ?”

You just have no idea how difficult it is to re-establish an Indian tribe if you believe this tale.

While it may be very difficult for most people, it doesn't seem to have been quite so hard for (hopefully) soon-to-be ex-Senator Boxer.

Are you refuting the facts that are presented here? If so, do you have any further information that does so?

Actually the tribe’s correct name is the “Yesweekan”.

Yeah, you have to find some Indians FIRST. That part simply isn’t in this tale ~ one Indian does not a tribe make!

The posted article was pulled by The Hill (Why?), but it is confirmed at length here (includes Boxer's son's connection and evasive quotes by Boxer). Can this go viral and sink Boxer?

Rohnert Park casino bill tarnishes Boxer's green image

"Boxer's bill restored sovereign rights to a few hundred Miwok and Pomo Indians in the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria.

On Oct. 1, the tribe reached a milestone, albeit without public fanfare. The U.S. Department of Interior took 254 acres into trust, essentially creating a new reservation for Federated Indians directly off Highway 101 south of the Sonoma County city of Rohnert Park — prime land for a Las Vegas-style casino".

Apparently it does so sufficiently that they're federally-recognized and have a legally-designated reservation for their planned casino. While a legitimate tribe would need to consist of more than one Indian, a sham such as this one obviously doesn't.

“The Bohica tribe.”

Not many of them left. Best to call them “The Last of the Bohicans.”

Can the House Ethics Committee investigate the Senate, or are they restricted to House only shenanigans?

The Boxer tribe of course or as some call it, the half-step-neighbor-in-law-of-a-third-cousin tribe.

Crickets from the media. But we’re suppose to care Meg Whitman was snookered by an illegal alien.

"Crickets from the media."

I have posted this in every thread I thought might be effective, and it has been mostly been crickets on FR.

If ever there was a direct paper trail of newly exposed corruption on the eve of an election, this is it.

Are we celebrating our victories too early, or has FR become too diluted by its own success to be the influential force that got us to this point?

It’s because so many people on FR spent so much time demonizing Fiorina as a “Rino” during the primary that they don’t much care about this race. The fact is she has maintained a pro-life, pro 2nd Amendment, pro fiscal sanity stance all during the general election and is hardly a Rino. If this corruption revelation helped a Tea Partier Free Republic would light up like a Christmas tree about it. Plus there’s an element of having no faith the media will do anything about this anyway for it to make a difference, so people are apathetic.

Sleazy, twisted, complicated, but it has the ring of truth.

What a scam!

“Fiorina as a “Rino””

In researching “boxer,” as a keyword on FR, I see that your point is well taken. Only to look at this thread to prove your point:

Real Clear Politics: CA senate race moved to “toss up”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2618231/posts

In this case, my opinion is that the devil we know IS NOT worse than the devil we do not “know.”

In corruption and power, Boxer is the female second only to Pelosi. This scandal has been buried, and it is BOXER who should be buried by this late-breaking scandal.
