In 2006, Democrats successfully won back control of Congress by highlighting corruption scandals involving Jack Abramoff, a lobbyist specializing in Indian tribes.

But does one Democrat in particular have a problem of her own with her interventions on behalf of a California tribe that now operates a casino just outside of San Francisco? Barbara Boxer pushed a bill reinstating a tribe designated as “defunct” by the BIA 40 years earlier through legislation that she also amended to remove a prohibition on gaming on any land the tribe owned. Rick Manning at The Hill says the deal — and what ensued — would have “made Jack Abramoff blush”:

Babs Boxer, epitome of the 'Rat "culture of corruption"

don't miss the tale of how a non-existent Indian "tribe" got a fictitious "chief" whose claim to "Native American" lineage is totally bogus:

Babs Boxer's 2-bit Hustle for an "Indian Chief"

OK, not quite literally. He condemned them, and the executioners let the guillotine give “severance pay” to the prisoners.

In addition to the obvious corruption of millions of dollars steered to son of Babs Boxer, there is the utter fraudulence of this Democrat-concocted "tribe" that does not exist except in the fatuous imaginations and fake legal documents concocted by the Demagogues.

This "chief" Saris is a novelist, academic, and utter charlatan who has no more claim to be "chief" of a tribe demanding a casino than any of us do. At most he might be 3 or 5/64th of a drop of a "mixed" tribal concoction that does not exist anymore, and NO ONE has any evidence for Saris' claim, NO ONE. He is as much entitled to this casino scam as Ward Churchill.

Casino Scam Involves Babs Boxer, her son Dougie, and CHRIS LEHANE


"Kenwood Investments consisted of Democrat heavy-hitters Darius Anderson, Chris Lehane, Stuart Sunshine, and Doug Boxer. According to newspaper reports of the time, Doug Boxer made $8 million in legal fees."

Chris Lehane.... there's another Demagogue scumbag still sliming around since the Clinton years.... in on the take for this casino scam.

This qualifies as an October surprise.

It is worth noting that Robespierre ultimately had his own meeting with Monsieur Guillotine. Anyone who might think the U.S. Revolution and the French Revolution had much in common needs to think again. Much Statism and Radical Leftism got its start with the French Revolution. Not much of an improvement, if at all, over Monarchy.

Actually, Dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks is Barbara’s real last name, possibly given to her by an Indian tribe.

Gotta tell you I am sick and tired of our side always yielding to the msm/dbm and taking the defensive side when all the corruption is and always has been on the left!! High time we stared telling it like it is.

[Old Badger]

Why? Why O Why do you insist on insulting rocks?

“Gotta tell you I am sick and tired of our side always yielding to the msm/dbm and taking the defensive side when all the corruption is and always has been on the left!! High time we stared telling it like it is.”

You said it. And not only that, but stop apologizing/backtracking for speaking the truth.

[dools0007world]

I agree. At least they don’t pretend to have an iota of intelligence, they are not corrupt and they don’t pass judgement of fellow rocks.

[Rockitz]

Barbara Boxer- Let’s call her ma’am again.

Vote Carly November 2nd.
