No One Likes Barbara Boxer
No one likes Barbara Boxer. Literally, not one single person likes that woman. Not even her own endorsers.
The news broke last week that the Veterans of Foreign Wars had rescinded the endorsement given by their representative Political Action Committee. Here is a copy of the memo from VFW to their PAC courtesy of blackfive.net:
I have reviewed the Political Action Committee (PAC) Board of Directors’ response to our request to rescind this year’ s Congressional endorsements. I disagree with their assessment.
It is now evident to most of the VFW leadership, both National and especially the departments, that the VFW has been subjected to extreme negative publicity throughout the nation, and the recent endorsement decisions have, in fact, harmed the VFW’ s reputation and future ability to fulfill our mission.
I cannot let this erosion of public support for our great organization continue. The apparent lack of the committee to address these concerns will lead to a proposal by me, as Commander-in-Chief, to amend the by-laws at the 112th National Convention for the purpose of dissolving the PAC. Meanwhile, under the authority granted to me as Commander-in-Chief in section 619 of the VFW National By-Laws and under section 620 of the Manual of Procedure, I am withdrawing all PAC appointments effective October 15, 2010.
Accordingly, I’ m asking the council for a vote of “ no confidence” in the VFW PAC as indicated on the enclosed ballot.
To: National Council of Administration
From: Richard L. Eubank, Commander-in-Chief
Date: October 14, 2010
The VFW was so embarrassed by this endorsement that the Commander-in-Chief actually went as far as to moveto dissolve the PAC completely. This extreme action comes on the heels of attacks by Sen John McCain and other veterans who objected to the initial endorsement of Boxer by the VFW. Carly Fiorina, Boxer’s political adversary, cited Boxer’s poor voting record on defense spending that would have benefited American soldiers:
She voted “against body armor for our troops in Iraq” and “against extended family leave for our troops while they were fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
Fiorina also commented on the VFW PAC endorsement:
Fiorina said the VFW PAC had “lost a great deal of credibility because they’ve demonstrated once again that all they ever do is endorse incumbent politicians.”“There are a great number of veterans who are offended by Boxer’s refusal to support our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Fiorina told reporters Sunday. “There are veterans who are offended by the way she dressed down a general, and there are, unfortunately for the VFW PAC, now a whole lot of veterans who are offended by the decision the VFW PAC has taken.”
Fiorina’s reference to Boxer’s interaction with Army Corps of Engineers Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh is based on footage of a conversation during the proceedings of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, which Boxer chairs. Here is a description of the brief clip:
Boxer has interrupted Walsh after he’s addressed her as ‘Ma’am’: “You know, do me a favor. Could you say ‘Senator’ instead of ‘Ma’am’? It’s just a thing. I worked so hard to get that title, so I’d appreciate it,” Boxer says to Walsh.
Well, yes ma’am. Apparently the VFW is feeling that offense quite acutely.
But the VFW is not the only former supporter of Boxer who has withdrawn its endorsement. The VFW’s Ladies’ Auxiliary withdrew all funding for their PAC after the group endorsed Boxer.
Seriously. No one likes Barbara Boxer.

MASS ILLEGAL ALIEN AMNESTY IF REID, BOXER AND DEMOCRATS ARE BACK IN WASHINGTON
We must Vote–OUT–all incumbents who have shown no improvement, against the illegal alien annexation of our country. Vote for the Tea Party, as they will change America for our future. They do not believe in the ideology of the Liberal Extremists hiding under the apron strings of Democrats, nor will they play into the hands of Republican elites? No more tax and spend. This will be a return to the US Constitution. No Amnesty for illegal aliens and removal through E-Verify. A Warning to citizens–Be observant, as illegal aliens will vote in this midterm election, as they have nothing to lose in using the unsecured “Absentee voting.” Illegal Immigration will try and keep Senate Democrats Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Janet Napolitano, Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom. and their Juniors returning them to office
Under the Liberal banner certain Governors, Mayors and elected officials are for open borders even want to share our Senior Citizens, disabled, Social security with illegal’s’ (May 2006) Reid voted–NO–in making E-Verify mandatory as a business requirement; or limiting welfare to illegal aliens that is another massive cost, estimated to be just the federal level of $113 billion dollars yearly.
Get out to the TEA PARTY Rallies, THE PEOPLE’S RALLIES and change this country–once and for all. No more career politicians and return us to minimum government and the interpretation of the US Constitution. We must uncouple ourselves from corporate greed, from open border entities and the stain of special interest lobbyists. These politicians are–ALL–very generous with your money, whether it’s Sacramento or Washington. Don’t believe everything you read, specifically from the left side of the road as the truth is mostly suppressed. The National press has been infiltrated by the zealot groups of nuts, whose main philosophy is to spread the wealth around; Even if it’s not theirs. Problem is the small businessman suffers, as that’s why bother in making a profit for your company when the IRS is going to drag it from you in supporting illegal foreign people?
Terrorists as well as Canadian and other foreign illegal aliens sneak into America via fire roads and other entry points. What Sharron Angle says is correct and there no way of confronting this problem without troops on both borders. But of course the main causeway is Mexico and through Mexico from Central and Latin countries. Another reality is that after the Houston voter fraud has been exposed, we must be on our guard for further violations of federal voting laws. Illegal aliens know that if Senator Reid, Boxer and all other Liberal-Democrats are voted-out, that there is no likelihood of any Amnesty, but much stronger enforcement.
Your taxes commandeered for sorts of mindless payouts, the earmarks, but mostly to cater to the millions of illegal alien households and all their instant citizen babies. It’s immoral to think that pregnant women intentionally wait to the last minute, slipping through the border fence or state an open-faced lie to the immigration and customs inspector at the airline entry port, knowing full well they are not going home. These Pro-Amnesty politicians must be thrown out of office, or there will be an immediate Amnesty on their return. The implications according to the reputable Heritage Foundation are a projection of–$2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS, added to the already exceeded 13 TRILLION DOLLARS WE OWE CHINA AND JAPAN.
Our financial institutions are part of the blame, ushering around 40 to 60 billion dollars a year in remittances to foreign households outside this nation. Google—Illegal alien costs then you judge who to vote for? Anybody who harbors an illegal alien–knowingly–should go directly to prison. Ice is already putting aliens back on our streets, in a silent Amnesty. They are however arresting and detaining criminals violating innocent citizens around the country
when i was in the service, many years ago male officers were called “sir”, female officers were “ma’am”, both were, and are titles of respect, equal to each other. what’s good enough for an army officer, gentleman or lady, is good enough for a senator.
