The Secret of Barbara Boxer

[InvisibleBallots]

I know it's difficult for Democrats to recognize it when we see it, but there is something special about Barbara Boxer that you might not notice from this picture:



The reason is because it's a front shot - you can't see the HUGE BACKBONE - Yep, it's true! Barbara Boxer has a SPINE.



Boxer/Dean 2008!

[alittlelark]

1. She's MY SENATOR.... and I LOVE HER!!!!!

She listens when 'we the people' speak.....SHE ROCKS!!!!!


PS, she must visit the chiropractor regularly - 'cause she has a HEALTHY spine!!!

[Pushed To The Left]

37. Mine too!

[laugle]

2. BARBARA BOXER

I'm new to the message board.
Just wanted to commend you on your
illustration!

[Born_A_Truman]

3. I wrote her a thank you letter...

I hope others will let her know we appreciate her courage.

[housewolf]

4. That makes me smile, thank you

She also stood up against the repubs and for women's rights last month when they voted on the omnibus appropriations bill that someone in the House had stuck an anti-choice provision into that the Senate had never approved, and she got Frist to agree to hold a vote on the measure early in this new congress.

She has some strong opponents in Calif these days and had a hard fight for her re-election in Nov. The same group that targetted Gray Davis and got him recalled had her in their crosshairs and worked hard to defeat her. Lucky for us, she won against them.

8. Barbara Boxer voted against NAFTA

If she runs for President in 2008, she not only has my vote, she has my money and my volunteer time as well.

I'm not wasting my time with whimpy Democrats like Kerry anymore - give me Barbara "Spinal Cord" Boxer any day! :) :)

[alittlelark]

15. Every letter I have written to her has "Boxer for President"

at the end..... I'm sick of throwing my political $$$ away....she is the real deal.

5. I'm bringing flowers to her office tomorrow--

With a bunch of other Dems in San Diego.

If we could just figure out how to clone Barbara, we'd all be in great shape!

I hope you'll send Barbara a copy of your post. I'm sure she and her staff would get a kick out of it.

On second thought, I'll bring a copy with me tomorrow!

9. please do

I will spend the next four years kissing her ass.

[Pachamama]

14. I sent her a bunch of "I love you" Balloons on Friday....

I have only sent something one other time to a Politician - Jeffords when he became an Independent. Both what he did and what Boxer did last week were amazing Patriotic and courageous moves by these two people...

Yeah, I'm pretty proud to have her as my Senator....Next time I see her here in the neighborhood where I live and she has a home, I'm going to give her a hug... :hug:

[Liberty Belle]

34. Lucky you to have such a super neighbor!

Can I trade?

[Pachamama]

35. Sure - we could do a House Swap- I'll come to San Diego a couple times of

year and you here...

Barbara is so cool...when in town, she does her own grocery shopping and she drives....a Prius....she is wonderful...I like seeing her and running into her...she is also very warm and friendly and truly caring...

:hi:

6. In her recent senate race

she ran against a rw conservative. It wasn't even a race. Still she ran very good commercials where she talked about how she was pro-choice, pro-family. I liked her commercials - she comes across as very smart and sincere.

Why all this talk about Hillary (who I admire) for prez? Barbara is the obvious choice!

[Liberty Belle]

11. Yes, she was gutsy even during the election.

I can't recall the last time I'd seen a candidate dare to run ads advertising a pro-choice stance. Most these days seem to keep it hidden for fear of being attacked by the anti-choicers.

[Syrinx]

7. can we fire Reid?

And make Barbara Boxer Democratic leader?

[Merlot]

16. Fire Reid and who ever appointed him in the first place

Boxer is a Jr. Senator, I don't think she can be leader.

[Syrinx]

17. that's not a rule, is it?

I like Boxer way better than Feinstein. Isn't it just a vote of the Democratic caucus? I'm not sure.

[juajen]

10. Boxer for Pres. 2008

Do you think she might want to make a stab at the presidency? She would have my vote. She's a woman with great courage!

[Liberty Belle]

12. I'll definitely suggest it tomorrow!

And tell here she'd have the support of the masses.

[InvisibleBallots]

13. I hope so

She has my vote, my money, and my volunteer time. As far as I am concerned, Barbara Boxer is now the front-runner.

18. I love Boxer and Dean, but

the WH house has a glass ceiling that keeps out women and northerners. I am sorry for you Californians since the last prez from that great state was Reagan. I wish a good California Democrat could be president, just like I wish a Maryland Democrat could be prez, but both our states keep shooting conservative nutcases at the WH (y'all had Gipper and we had Agnew and Keyes).
Still shaking my head over the fact that Dubya, Gipper, Poppy, Tricky Dicky can all be prez, but not some wonderful decent person like Dean or Boxer.

[XemaSab]

30. Bush is from Connecticut

which is a northern state. Why are northern republicans electable, but not northern Democrats?

Also, Boxer's Jewish, and that's a ceiling I don't think will be broken anytime soon, unfortunately.

[Tinoire]

19. LMAO! Love it!!!!!

Kudos to you for giving us a smile before bed-time and kudos to Barbara for having s spine!

:thumbsup:

[Piperay]

20. As a Californian

I am so PROUD of my Senator Barbara Boxer!!!! :thumbsup:

[laheina]

23. Ditto.

Now what can we do about the Neanderthal with the Hummer?

[demwing]

21. More balls than any two men in the Senate?

Oh, backbone....

Yeah, thats what I was gonna say.

[fooj]

22. Long Live The Boxer! She has made California proud!

We love her on the Left Coast!I live in California. She will ALWAYS have my vote! Now that's a person with courage, honor and integrity! Soooo refreshing! We'll watch out for Barbara! We've got her back!

[InvisibleBallots]

25. count me in on the Boxer Rebellion

:) Can I start volunteering for her campaign now? Please?

Barbara "Backbone" Boxer 2008!

[Warren DeMontague]

24. Jan. 6, 2005.

I have never been more proud to be a Californian.

[NightOwwl]

26. Sorry for being superficial, but she is as beautiful as she is courageous.

I have such a girl crush on her. :loveya:

I would love to see her run in 2008.

[Historic NY]

27. She understands compassion.......I'd take her over my Sen.

[EndElectoral]

33. Hell, I'd take anyone over my Sen. -- Spector and Santorum..makes me sick

Boxer in 2008!

[Stand and Fight]

28. Great Post!

Barbara Boxer is definitely one of my political heroes and someone I shall seek to emulate in personal courage in my own political aspirations.

Here's to Barbara Boxer!
:toast:

[goclark]

29. Please send her spine photo to her

it should be framed and have a special place when she gets to the WH.

She is a little piece of leather well put together!

Congratulations to a class act - Barbara Boxer!

[Old Mouse]

31. LOL!

Thank you for brightening up my day!

[liberal43110]

32. I love her!

She is not simply California's senator. She is America's senator.

[sfbrent]

38. Let's support Barbara's PAC

I did a little digging around, and I see that Senator Boxer has a PAC -- "PAC for a Change". I hope she keeps fighting!

Check it out... now that her campaign is over, we can't support that, but we should join her PAC and at least sign up for the email list.
