Carly Fiorina, speaking to tea partiers, pounds Barbara Boxer on "call me Senator" incident
SFGate: Politics Blog ^ | 9/10/10 | Carla Marinucci, Chronicle Political Writer

Posted on 09/10/2010 11:29:17 PM PDT by SmithL

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina got a wildly enthusiastic reception today from 300 tea party activists, pounding U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer and saying the Democrat "had no right to insult" a military officer who called her "m'am" instead of Senator.

Fiorina, who spent much of her address lambasting the three term Democratic incumbent, told the tea party crowd in the Mill Valley Community Center that the incident was one reason "we're all becoming members of one party..the "had enough" party."

The line from the former Hewlett Packard CEO drew big applause, as did her observation that the tea partiers have made waves in the current election cycle. "You guys sure know how to rile folks up,'' she said.

Fiorino needs to call Boxer “Ma’am” every chance she gets.

Don’t you know? Ma’am is sexist. Soon-to-be ex-Senator Boxer would probably prefer “sir.” For some reason, leftists have a problem with gender specific words. Personally? I like words like “steward,” “stewardess,” “actor,” and “actress.” They convey more meaning, and more expressive words are simply better. Getting rid of “bad” words and altering the meaning of existing words is something straight out of 1984. It’s a means of controlling thought.

Democrats are masters of destroying our language.

Democrats refer to spending as investment.

Democrats refer to discrimination as affirmative action.

Democrats refer to taxes as revenue enhancement.

Democrats refer to taxpayers' money as the government's money.

I can't post or even link this the article here, (the source is on the absolute DO NOT LINK LIST HERE) but thanks to a "lurking FReeper," I have interesting information to share.

Seems like Boxer is worried *this time* abut her reelection. Please read her email to Schumer...lol.

Linking to BING SEARCH ONLY.

The article is listed first: Schumer Helps Barbara Boxer Build a 'Money Bomb'

The Chron wrote a somewhat favorable Fiorina article? Whoa. What a win that would be.

I’m glad that “little” moment of arrogance to a military officer is biting that b!+(# Boxer in the butt. It was a truly extraordinary arrogance because it was a calculated insult. I bet it was intended to be seen or noticed only by Boxer’s left wing friends so they could laugh about it afterwards.

Slight correction: Killing babies is “a woman’s right to choose.”

“Slight correction: Killing babies is “a woman’s right to choose.”

A moonbat called Hannity’s radio show the other day and said that pro-lifers advocate “forced pregnancy”.

It's hysterical when Fiorina speaks to Boxer on a first name basis, like as though she's known Boxer all her life. LOL

She did that at the recent debate and it got a dirty look from Boxer.  I died laughing.

And I’m not buying you newbie. Whatcha gonna do, vote for Boxer in an attempt to make your point? Maybe, just maybe Carly is getting a first hand view of the voter’s temperature and she may go against her advisor’s analysis.

You had better start working with the reality of your choice because your rants don’t mean a great deal to people who size up the current battlefield and make a decision on it insteat of dreaming of victories never fought.

He or she is right, just a little late. Fiorina is not conservative and she was a disastrous CEO. I posted my misgivings in the primaries. Unfortunately, it's a little late now. This is one of those hold your nose and vote for her anyway situations. I voted against Boxer in each of her first two elections (I wasn't registered in CA after that) and I'd vote against her again if I was registered in CA.

Boxer is a living example of a tax & spend, good ole boy, business as usual politician. Exactly the kind that must be given their pink slips 2-November.

Maybe, just maybe Carly is getting a first hand view of the voter’s temperature and she may go against her advisor’s analysis.

One can only hope.

I don’t care how much of a RINO Fiorina is. If you don’t vote against Boxer—just to vote against Boxer—even if it meant voting for Satan himself, something is seriously wrong with you.

Because neither has the support required to win

Both lack the stature to be successful beyond their local constituencies.

We get rid of Boxer, we get rid of power the dems had.

We get a Republican, we get someone that helps us take over committees maybe even the majority.

Think big and look at the larger picture.

No matter what, we know that Fiorina will not be a kooky liberal as Boxer so if we unseat her, it's a win/win for us! We need to give it everything we've got. Right now is the time!
