Climategate: What do we do about Barbara Boxer?
Such is my personal dislike for the junior senator from my home state of California that I take little solace that the influential Rothenberg Political Report has downgraded Barbara Boxer’s chance of reelection from a “safe” seat to a “clear advantage for the incumbent.” Nothing less than humiliating defeat would be satisfying to me.
From whence my perhaps over-heated reaction to Boxer? Well, she represents to me all the most distasteful aspects of perpetually unexamined “liberalism” rolled into one angry, rigid, misguided persona. How angry is she? It’s not just her well-known disdain for Brigadier General Michael Walsh(the don’t-call-me-ma’am-I’m-a-Senator affair); it’s her abiding, self-satisified, arrogant dyspepsia. This is on display, if you’re interested, in the video aptly entitled “I’ve never seen anything like it” – in which she dresses down a Bush era EPA official.
Of course, it’s more than an unpleasant personality that makes me react so strongly to Boxer (we’re none of us perfect in that regard, right?). It’s also her uncanny ability to mix willful ignorance and guilt-free dishonesty. That combination was on display at Tuesday’s meeting of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, which she chairs and at which Senator Inhofe made an interesting minority report. At that meeting, according to PJ Media’s own Charlie Martin, Boxer and the EPA’s Lisa Jackson “threw the IPCC under the bus,” ostensibly by denying they had been influenced by that UN organization, its officers like Rajendra Pachauri or other tarnished foreign sources (the East Anglia CRU) in their conclusions about climate and AGW. (Boxer: “In my opening statement, I didn’t quote one international scientist or IPCC report. … We are quoting the American scientific community here.”)
Boxer lied.
According to the perspicacious climatequotes.com, “Barbara Boxer relied heavily on both the IPCC and Pachauri.” Here’s just one sample, but for the rest, go to climatequotes. They deserve your attention. Boxer on Jan. 30, 2008: “Dr. Pachauri, you have been a tremendous leader on this issue. I have spoken to you on several occasions to learn first hand about the recent IPCC reports that summarize the recent science of global warming.”
Enough of the lying for now. What about the ignorance? We’re used to politicians prevaricating but they’re even more dangerous when they are ignorant as well. Does Boxer have the background to understand climate science even if she wanted to? There is nothing in her vitae to demonstrate that. She has a B.A. from Brooklyn College in economics and that’s about it. For many years she has been a leading environmental advocate in the Congress, but as the stakes of “environmentalism” morphed and grew, the amount of scientific expertise necessary to separate legitimate concern from cant has increased exponentially. Politicians’ reliance on scientists has perforce also increased with the selection of those scientists all the more open to bias and distortion. As this occurs, it is particularly incumbent on politicians to seek the judgment of scientists on all sides of an issue, not just the side they want to believe or find expedient to believe. Few seem to do this. And Boxer is the poster girl of those who do not. She goes on and on as she was, talking to the same people and spouting the same conventional opinions as if they were fact. If there were ever a time for a change, this is it.
Now that I am at the end of this, I am not so sure I am as angry at Boxer as I thought I was (or am now, at any rate). Nor am I that disappointed in her because I have not had any hopes or expectations for her for quite some time. No, she is just the wrong person for our era. She stopped growing years ago and there’s nothing we can do about that. We have to move on.
Boxer Takes a Dive
The problem with the senior junior Senator, Roger is the same problem that 60′s liberals have been exhibiting for some time now.
They are faced with an internal conflict of epic proportions. Somewhere along the line it became necessary to be invested in the left side of any issue and that meant defending it, even after it had been proven to be false, incorrect, damaging, worthless, hateful, malicious, …even evil.
This “leftism on auto-pilot” syndrome became even more intractable, when every single item on the leftist agenda became a litmus test. If you varied even a molecule on your support of the cause du jour, you were skewered, flambe’d, and charred beyond recognition in a leftist fire pit.
Boxer has been Pavlovian trained to reflexively roll over on every single issue in response to the leftist master’s hand signal. There is no evidence of independent thought, critical thinking, even a passing moment of reflection. Leftists have a “cause” and a “message” in support of that cause. And nobody better dare deviate from it, or exercise any deep thinking on the subject. The matter is “settled” before it’s available for things like…you know…thinking about it.
The entrenched media exhibit this as they death spiral into oblivion, clinging to the ripcord of a broken parachute. They are in free fall having jumped from a plane with only a left wing, both hurtling toward the ground at breakneck speed. Crash and burn leftism is a metastasized disease. David Horowitz, David Mamet, Roger Simon have found the cure. And have landed safely with their souls intact.
Barbara Boxer will probably be reelected. She may merely have to work a bit harder than in previous campaigns. Most Californians are simply not ready to face reality. They want to delude themselves that everything will be hunky-dory if the overall national economy improves. Also, an estimated 3,500 citizens are leaving the state on a weekly basis. We can take it for granted that these individuals are likely purple and red state voters. The blues one are left behind and inevitably increase their power.
President John F. Kennedy issued an executive order in 1962 permitting government employees to unionize throughout the country. He unwitting did enormous damage. In only forty-eight years it has forced many states into bankruptcy. There is no such thing as correcting the problem unless one is ready to end relationships with relatives and close friends. These public sector workers usually feel entitled. They are going to fight us tooth and nail.
I’m not so sure Boxer is unbeatable. Her opponents have been weak in the past. She edged one when the LATimes on cue broke the news in the final days of the campaign that her opponent like to drop by porn movie houses. She will have stiffer opposition this time around and the anti-incumbent fever is still spiking toward a peak. I think it will be Bah-Bye Barbara.
I agree with Banjo that she is beatable. During a discussion last night, my tiny sample size of three liberals all expressed wonderment at their current intentions to vote for Whitman over Brown for governor with comments like “I can’t believe that I am going to vote for a Republican” and “We have to do something about the waste in government”. There is hope!
Boxer is a textbook example of the Peter Principle: In a hierarchy, every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence. Unfortunately, she reached hers on the Marin County Board of Supervisors.
What do we do about Barbara Boxer?
Defeat her. Take away her power and you take away her ability to do damage. She’ll make millions as a lobbyist but that will result in less damage than her staying in office.
@David Thompson
“President John F. Kennedy issued an executive order in 1962 permitting government employees to unionize throughout the country. He unwitting did enormous damage. In only forty-eight years it has forced many states into bankruptcy.”
How would an executive order that only covers federal employees bankrupt states? And which states have been forced into bankruptcy?
“How would an executive order that only covers federal employees bankrupt states? And which states have been forced into bankruptcy?”
Kennedy’s decision opened the floodgates. The states were strongly pressured to follow the example of the federal government. Most did so very soon thereafter. One is playing with words when claiming a state that cannot possibly handle its contractual obligations to its public workers is not officially bankrupt. California, Illinois, and New Jersey are already de facto bankrupt. Formal proceedings will be a mere formality.
Roger,
“. . . she is just the wrong person for our era. She stopped growing years ago and there’s nothing we can do about that. We have to move on.”
No, sadly, no. She is the personification of our era, just as Nixon was the personification of his. Doesn’t she make your skin crawl just the way Nixon made your skin crawl? And what a proud moment this is for feminists: a woman is The Man.
Yours truly,
Neobuzz
Mr. Simon:
“What do we do about Barbara Boxer?”
Well, if you don’t think it wise to release her back into her natural habitat in California, and i can totally understand your position, if that is so, I would point out that the National Zoo in Washington, having recently sent it’s panda back to China, might have lodgings available…and they could even be considered public housing and carbon-footprint free, (what with being un-air conditioned and minimally heated)!
Always glad to help, Roger.
(And you KNOW this!)
Boxer may well be the most ignorant, indeed stupid, individual ever in any Senate…and that includes Caesar’s Horse…She’s an embarrassment to this former Californian.
Of course she believes this nonsense: It allows her to achieve even more power and steal more wealth from those who are actually productive.
Time for her and Feinstein to go.
Boxer as the song says, “..Is nobody’s baby, now…..” She is a pantload and has reached the point of failure. Her ego mania has jumped up at her constiuents who have witnessed the other side of the one-eyed Jack. Her popularity is falling big time. A decent Republican candidate will edge her out, even with Acorn and the Chicago gang supporting her.
13. Tarbender:”…A decent Republican candidate will edge her out, even with Acorn and the Chicago gang supporting her.”… This Marinite would love to see Obama campaign for Boxer and Woolsey. It will surely help out their opponents!
What a cast of insane characters : Boxer , Pelosi ,Lofgren, Zoe, Sanchez, Linda, Jane Harman , D. Feinstein , Waters ….. These are apart of the California Radical Socialist California movement .
In truth they do as much for conservatism as does Reed and Obama .
False face must hide what the false heart doth know. Macbeth:1-7
Roger, there is no doubt that many of us despise this woman; but how can we point a finger at her, when so many of us vote for her.
If you could examine with perspicuity
The strange motives of a delusional entity
Who plots their own inevitable destruction
the California voter, who is the malfunction
Lead on wise sage, we seek only direction
Defeat her.
The first step in throwing her out of office is to seize the language by labeling her appropriately. Conservatives must control the memes, slogans, definitions, and labels of the political landscape.
Barbara Boxer is a ‘Stepford liberal’, complete with mindless inanities and rictus scowl. She must be called this by her Republican opponent(s) at every opportunity, in every political TV ad, on every political poster and billboard.
He who controls the language, controls the debate.
Boxer is a tremendous embarrassment to the state she “represents” and the Senate in which she “serves.” But even more embarrassing has been the failure of the California Republican Party to groom strong candidates to run against her. She always been beatable, but we have to stop fielding C-grade candidates. Fortunately, I think we have a potential A-lister in Chuck DeVore.
“Stepford Liberal”…..I like it…..
As a California resident I plan on proudly casting my vote for the re-election of Barbara Boxer. We love her in this state. Carly Simon the prospective GOP candidate is running a campaign that is imploding more and more each day. The problem for Republicans in our state is that the state is very liberal. The Republicans usually run a candidate that is too conservative. This, of course, gets the teabagger vote. But that is far from being enough to win in the general. A liberal Republicans could do well but they lose the conservative base. A very difficult problem to overcome and I don’t see it changing for a long time and that’s fine by me.
“One is playing with words when claiming a state that cannot possibly handle its contractual obligations to its public workers is not officially bankrupt. ”
States cannot go formally bankrupt in the sense of filing for bankruptcy in court. But they can become insolvent, meaning they can’t pay all their obligations. California has been insolvent for some time, “delaying” income tax refunds, stiffing vendors and failing to adequately fund the absurdly unsustainable public pension systems. As we all know, this state of affairs is rapidly worsening. State courts have already ruled that the states cannot modify pension promises made in the past and must fund them no matter what. Yet that will shortly become literally impossible. A showdown is coming and coming fast. Many other states are in the same shape.
“…I don’t see it changing for a long time and that’s fine by me.”
There is serious problem with your reasoning: you don’t have a lot of time! It is not on your side. But that’s why I predict Barbara Boxer will be reelected. Too many Californians are making light of the economic crisis. You do indeed prefer to live in La-La Land.
“State courts have already ruled that the states cannot modify pension promises made in the past and must fund them no matter what.”
These state court judges must think a governor has the ability to inflate the currency. Alas, only the federal government can pull off this stunt.
We’re living in la la land? Our economy nationally is in the tank, the Raptor fight was cancelled, the deficits are soaring and the GOP nominee from 2008 is focused on . . .regulating vitamins.
I vote for letting her live out her days, working at Nancy Pelosi’s tuna processing interests in Samoa, for minimum wage of $3 something an hour.
Barbara needs to go. I am one Democrat that won’t be voting for any Dem on the ballot. Now thats change we can believe in.
21 Praetorian, Carly Simon sings, Carly Fiorina is a successful business women running for Barbara’s office. She may well get elected. I certainly hope so.
Boxer may be re elected because people like all of you either (a) whine on sites like this and nothing more; or (b), elevate their personal dislike of gays and abortion over balanced budgets and strong defense, thereby handing the election to Boxer.
Phineas hit it on the head above: if the state GOP got off their inbred rear ends and supported a candidate that opposed endless government, it might have defeated Boxer years ago.
But its so much fun to insist on ideological purity on abortion, gay marriage, etc.
Praetorian,
You said essentially the same thing about the special election in Mass before Brown won it. How’d that work out?
Praetorian, was the Carly Simon reference a Freudian slip? Or are you trying to tell us something…. that “You’re So Vain” was not written about Warren Beatty, after all, but it is about Barbara Boxer herself! That, sir, is brilliant. We all owe you a debt of gratitude.
xrdr: Better think about that anti-gay bashing again: After all, the little twit who was badmouthing gays at CPAC last week was booed off the stage…
I guess you need a new meme….
Praetorian: You keep it up!! Idjits are the future of California, and you’re leading the pack.
And while California prepares to sink beneath the depths of debt like the Pequod as the sea, “seized the lone boat itself, and all its crew, and each floating oar, and every lance pole, and spinning, animate and inanimate, all round and round on one vortex carried the smallest chip of the Pequod out of sight”. Moby Dick: Melville
Such are the devoted followers of Socialism, like Praetorin, with a blind obsession equal to that of old Ahab, leading the ship California to its inevitable demise on the breakers of fiscal responsibility. Oh the wise ones and business owners who can, have already jumped ship, to avoid the type of disaster that befell the Hesperus on the Reef of Norman’s Woe: and their leaving only hastens the impending disaster, but they can only avoid the swirling pit for so long, before California’s stupidity and arrogance engulfs more of the country.
Still the mindless masses lead us to disaster, with a certainty of purpose, believing a moron like Barbara Boxer has a clue as to how to void breaking apart the ship of state on the breakers of insolvency. Yes like mindless lemmings you cast your votes, mesmerized by the false prophets of Marxism and the hubris of witless leaders, you deserve the despair you bring upon yourself; but I don’t.
Re state bankruptcy – I believe that chapter 9 covers the bankruptcy of governmental entities. Chapter 9 has been [is being] used by local governments such as cities and counties. States I’m not sure but, if applicable, chapter 9 would provide for a formal bankruptcy process.
People in Caleeforneeyuh keep electing the same free-spending boneheads and wonder how they ended up with Boxer. Too many Caleeforneeyuns have moved to my state to escape the repressive conditions of the left coast, and then try to elect the same kind of loones here. CA is insane. Until they grasp reality again (fat chance), Boxer will be re-elected.
xrdr, regarding the ‘abortion and gay marriage’, perhaps you should point your finger at your Golden State locals.
The same-sex marriage failure in ’08 was due to California’s Democratic Black and Latino voters. Independents and Republicans aren’t the stereotypical Ward Cleaver ala 1950′s you obviously cling to..
As for abortions, I believe there are warranted circumstances due to rape, incest and the minuscule # of the mother’s health being affected.
Should tens of millions of people who don’t condone abortion pay higher taxes for this being included in mandated health insurance?
I’d rather those who aren’t responsible enough to use the myriad of prophylactics to research vasectomies. The sense of entitlement amongst so many now is due to Government coddling. Equating to unrealized potential and serfdom.
Oh and the other ‘Babs’, she’s stuck on stupid.
There once was a California Senator named Babs
Who believed all the lies put out by the climate labs
Plans to tax our hard earned dollars she made
All in the name of the boondoggle cap ‘n trade
Now her Senate seat is up for grabs.
(Let’s hope!)
To those of you ganging up on xrdr: is it only me, or did anybody else catch the sarcasm of his/her post. He/she is absolutely correct – if you keep voting based on pro-life, anti-gay issues, you’re going to always have the embarrassment that is Barbara Boxer around.
We’re used to politicians prevaricating but they’re even more dangerous when they are ignorant as well.
Yes.
Does Boxer have the background to understand climate science even if she wanted to?
No.
She is of the dangerous personality type that doesn’t seem the least bothered that discounting the IPCC/Pachauri today contradicts her preachy, sycophantic paeans of the past.
A certain President (who will not be named) has the same ability, if ability is the right word.
I’ve read that Boxer is much better funded than her challengers.
Am praying (in my way
that Californians give us a break and vote her out in November.
mrs. boxer-kennedy finally figured out how to use her emailing list. she is for the first time sending out emails every few weeks about her “accomplishments”.
Got an alternative candidate? You need an alternative candidate.
Get a good Republican candidate close to her in the polls, then constantly challenge her to debates. I’ve seen her debate – she’s terrible.
The debates should expose her for the fool she is and seal the win for a Republican.
I am not sure my idea of hat to do with the old cronie commie is fit to say in any company.
“…her uncanny ability to mix willful ignorance and guilt-free dishonesty.”
Roger, this is one of your finest and most insightful sentences. It expresses exactly what I also think about the leader of Boxer’s party, and, alas, of the free world: that powerful and dangerous mixture of “willful ignorance and guilt-free dishonesty.” Touché.
It’s not fair to ask a question to which an honest answer cannot be given.
I agree with xrdr, but put it more broadly: in most cases (Prop 8 being an exception) social-conservative proposals don’t play well here, and a heavy emphasis on social-conservatism drives away a lot of social moderates who might otherwise vote with us because of good-government issues. Emphasize good government and strong defense (we still have a lot of defense contractors here), and downplay social conservatism, and it is quite possible to put together a coalition to turf out Barbara the Check Bouncer.
Your forgot corrupt. Boxer would slip recognition for California-based Native American tribes into big bills. A cuouple years later her son would sell them services to get them permission to build casinos, that Boxer would slip into other big bills. Her husband is a trial lawyer – no conflict of interest there, I’m sure.
Xrdr, perhaps you should read up on your own leftist media reporting. The same media reported 52% “barely passing” margin that prop 8 passed by was the same “landslide” that obama passed with.
“What do we do about Barbara Boxer?”
Tactical nuclear strike against Oakland?
I’d say let’s use an ICBM and make sure, but since I live right next to Oakland that would kinda suck for me.
that her opponent like to drop by porn movie houses. She will have stiffer opposition
Porn? Stiffer? Unintended joke?
#2 Thomson, you got it right that the govt employee right to unionize is at the bottom of our ills.
But so is the cat’s cradle of regulatory agencies, regulations, statutes, laws and ordinances that have our citizenry and our moribund Republic tied down like Gulliver.
The only rescue lies in simultaneously burning the US Code and starting over, burning the Civil Service Code and privatizing all but police, firemen and military. Guess what? Ain’t gonna happen.
Simon: Boxer is a white Waters. Nothing can be done.
Golly Roger – You still driving the Prius? Or have you grown?
#22 Victor Erimita is so right: “State courts have already ruled that the states cannot modify pension promises made in the past and must fund them no matter what. Yet that will shortly become literally impossible. A showdown is coming and coming fast. Many other states are in the same shape.”
This is so much more serious than anyone realizes. You learn in the real world that you cannot ever go cash negative – not even for one week. It has to come from somewhere – you earn it, you borrow it or you sell a part of your business to an equity investor in exchange for it.
Government of course just takes what it needs via taxes and fees but this only works up to a point (it’s true that at the Federal level we can skate for a while because they have a printing press. But people figure out eventually that that is just a way to tax more and has the same affect). To deal with this coming insolvency will require such extreme taxation that it will destroy the private sector – effectively creating a socialist state.
Our current Federal level unfunded liabilities for entitlements, social security and health care exceed 60 trillion dollars! If you add to that all of the liabilities of State and Local governments it is estimated (by the Federal Reserve) that the net present indebtedness per family of four is $1.3 million dollars. The problem is that everyone thinks these are just numbers and that someone else will pay or that at anytime we can just tip over the Monopoly board, pass out new money and start playing again from square one. Maybe so in years past, but now with China, India and other emerging countries working hard and refusing to sacrifice their standard of living on the altar of “progressive” insanity, we are in for a rude awakening.
Limited government, balanced budget, reversal of entitlement programs and collectivist mentality. It’s the only way.
Here in California we may have the best chance to oust Boxer as one of our Senators. Read up at California Bloggers For DeVore to learn more.
Boxer’s first elected position was as my county supervisor in Marin. She immediately started a bunch of leftist underhanded moves. One of them was to propose, without an agenda, an ordinance banning radioactive materials in the county.
We were able to rally all the radioactive material license holders in the county to come down to the next board meeting and point out that we would no longer have in the county full medical care, ship navigation tools, or safe roads without these licenses.
I later heard at a “solar village” enthusiastically endorse the “fact” that one could build a 100% solar home for NO additonal cost over a normal one.
She’ll say or do anything, so long as it supports her leftist agenda.
On the Republican side, don’t forget that Fiorina is despised in Silicon Valley for her near ruination of HP. She did a poor job as McCain’s front man in the state. Campbell is a milktoast but would be my second choice after DeVore. DeVore is not a zealot but is solidly conservative and realistic. He tries to sell the social conservative issues as tightly intermingled with financial conservativism. He is largely right but he’ll need some ear time to make the case.
Barbara Boxer will probably be reelected. She may merely have to work a bit harder than in previous campaigns. Most Californians are simply not ready to face reality. They want to delude themselves that everything will be hunky-dory if the overall national economy improves.
Hey, Californians even have a delusional governor who pretends to be a Republican.
The Rep. Party has been duped again.
Obama set up this meeting , not to make the rep. party look to bad, but to pick a couple of their ideas, water them down, insert them into the bill. Then he can say, he tried, knowing the rep. party, won’t buy into these changes. Now he can tell the people , he tried to work with the rep. party. Now he can use the 51 votes to pass this piece of crap. He will say that he had to do this, so people would have health care.
Now, 3to 6months down the road, he can get more of his plan passed, and use the same method until he gets all he wants. (government control of the health system.)
I’ve said this before, the Chicago Machine will get what they want, any way they can get it.
Obama will get on tv and tell the people that he used this 51vote process, for their own good.
THE WHOLE BUNCH, DEMO”S and REPUbLICANS that been there for 2 terms need to be voted out of office. TERM LIMITS
#58 KEYBOARD 555
Sorry folks , wrong post , wrong story. Can’t see very well, must have changed stories.
Barbara Boxer is like Dick Durbin, in Ill, She will be hard to beat, because of the political machines , backing them. I would like to see both of them defeated.
Still the mindless masses lead us to disaster, with a certainty of purpose, believing a moron like Barbara Boxer has a clue as to how to void breaking apart the ship of state on the breakers of insolvency. Yes like mindless lemmings you cast your votes, mesmerized by the false prophets of Marxism and the hubris of witless leaders, you deserve the despair you bring upon yourself; but I don’t.
Skookum, I enjoyed your whole “Moby Dick” analogy, as well as Roger Simon’s writing prowess. I’ll certainly be back to read more in the future.
Thanks for some interesting reading.
And CA: You folks need to can the ol’ Dingbat and Pelosi too. (Or should I have said, Can all of your dingbats!”?)
It is time for the REAL CHANGE to start.
A BA in Econ, and Barbara Bouncer couldn’t even balance her House Bank check book.
Boxer wanted “Cash for Clunkers” to be mandatory. She was all for governemnt confiscation of any vehicle getting under 20 MPG. SUV’s trucks,…ect. Whereas, Big Bro, would take your vehicle and cut you a check for three or four grand to purchase a more fuel economy mode of transportation. California voters in her district should be made aware of this fact.
What Roger Simon doesn’t understand is that to be progressive is to be regressive. What is a progressive all about? An ever expanding state that will “help” the little people, that will protect them. The cost? Their freedom. In other words progressivism is feudalism in modern dress. This Roger Simon and his fellow enlightened ones will never see because to see it would blow up their whole world view.
You can’t reason with Boxer; no matter what type of communication you attempt, the response you receive is always a form letter. She is tone-deaf and determined to have her way. The only solution is to beat her in November. Contribute heavily to the opponent of your choice, even if you don’t live in California (I contributed to Scott Brown even though I live in California). We need to help each other take down the self-appointed liberal plutocracy if Ameria is to have a fighting chance of survival.
Maxine Waters (another Congresscritter from CA) gives Babs Boxer a run for her money in the brains department.
Is Maxine Waters Really As Dumb As She Seems?
Then there’s La Pelosi.
What’s in the water on the Left Coast, anyway ?
#67 tanstaafl:
“Maxine Waters (another Congresscritter from CA) gives Babs Boxer a run for her money in the brains department.”
Hey…you leave Maxine Waters alone.
She’s the House’s latter-day Affirmative Action answer to the Senate’s Theodore Bilbo of the 1940′s.
As such, she serves a valuable purpose.
Future generations of historians will point to her and her career and use it as an example of why the American Left’s social policies collapsed.
It’s very late at night, and how I came upon this website is somewhat of a vodka-induced mystery. While lying in bed, trying to sleep, this old song by Ronnie Hawkins kept playing over and over in my mind. I got up, determined to find the song on the Internet. “Mary Lou” is the name of the song, which talks about a cheating, stealing, coniving and manipulating woman….well, isn’t that just like Barbara Boxer!? What an odious wench she is! I say, “Off with her head!” Politically, that is, if Calituckians have any intestinal fortitude or common sense left. And while they’re at it, why not get rid of Nancy Pelosi too?
Boxer is not qualified to talk about science. Yet Sen. Inhofoe has researched the Global Warming Myth (Lies) and Boxer, Obama and others will not listen to him. They would rather play party politics. Enough with Boxer, time for CHANGE!
Elect someone else and write off Boxer as a bad date. Move on.
But what about our pundits? Since you consider…
perhaps you could list the papers and textbooks that have enabled you to “understand climate science”?
[crickets chirping]
