Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) took her opposition to Condoleezza Rice to a new front: She has used it in a fundraising pitch to Democratic donors.
The pitch went out Tuesday evening. On behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Boxer referred to Rices misleading statements leading up to the war in Iraq and beyond, and implored donors to put the brakes on four more years of misdirection in Iraq and reckless policies at home by helping elect more Democrats next year.
ROLL CALL details the money drive: My Democratic colleagues and I will hold the Bush administration accountable for its decisions, Boxer wrote. But we will need your help to hold them accountable in the ultimate public hearing: the next midterm elections in 2006...
So while I raise my voice on the Senate floor, I hope you will join us on the campaign trail and send the loudest message of all one that the Republicans will not be able to ignore unseating them in the midterm elections and sending more Democrats to the Senate.
So the Democrats are screwing Condi in order to raise money? How noble.
Developing story...
Barbara Boxer is a despicable woman, a shameless hypocrite. She has no honor, no integrity and is soiling the good name of California. But what comes around goes around, Barbara Boxer will have a very sad ending...now nobody takes her seriously, she is a complete buffoon.
Hopefully this is the beginning of the last gasps of the rat party. They're sure a bunch of low life pigs.
Ah Barbie, baby, didn't we JUST have elections?
I see, you lost, so they don't count!
We, the people are going to hold the Democratic Party Responsible for the gutting of our intelligience corps and the attack of 9/11 which was the result!!!
Yup, that's my senator, Barbara the Boxer.
This is slimy. She is slimy. How I wish that we could get somebody else elected in her place. Of course I'd like it to be a conservative Republican, but being a realist, I don't think that will ever happen.
She might want to raise money to get a new hair-do.
Babs nothing but a drama queen.
She sure did get hagged out somewhere along the way.
What happened to counting every vote in Ohio twice and every other voter once? Did she give up on that? Is she CAPABLE of coherent thought? Did Michael Moore inspire her to do THIS too? Are they lovers or something?
Taking a Stand January 25, 2005 The Republicans were expecting the Senate to confirm Dr. Rice with little debate and questioning from the Foreign Relations Committee.
They didn't count on me to ask the tough questions. What the Republicans don't realize is, no matter who is in charge in the White House, the role of Congress will always be to act as a check on the Executive branch of government. And when it comes to presidential nominees, the Senate must take its "advise and consent" role during the confirmation process seriously.
That's why I took a stand last week and voiced my concerns about Dr. Rice's misleading statements leading up to the war in Iraq and beyond. I will continue to make my voice heard on the Senate Foreign Relations committee, but in order to put the brakes on four more years of misdirection in Iraq and reckless policies at home, we need to elect more Democrats to the Senate during the 2006 midterm elections.

Because after Dr. Rice is confirmed, the Senate will face many more crucial decisions in the coming months: confirmation of President Bush's choice for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, social security, Iraq and possibly a Supreme Court nomination. My Democratic colleagues and I will hold the Bush Administration accountable for its decisions. But we will need your help to hold them accountable in the ultimate public hearing: the next midterm elections in 2006.
The Republicans want us Democrats to step back and pave the way not only for this one nominee, but for their entire social, economic and international agenda. We have a chance during the midterm elections to make sure the Republicans don't have four years to do so. The DSCC is working every day to recruit the strongest candidates in every Senate race across the country. They are fighting early and fighting hard, but they need your ongoing support today.

So while I raise my voice on the Senate floor, I hope you will join us on the campaign trail and send the loudest message of all--one that the Republicans will not be able to ignore--unseating them in the midterm elections and sending more Democrats to the Senate.
Yours sincerely,
Senator Barbara Boxer
What else are they going to do, appeal to some issue? They have none.
Here is the 'tator take on why the Democrat leadership allowed Babs to take on Condi.
This is not a good year for the 'rats.
Senator Barbara Boxer is a racist. Along with the other Klansman Byrd.
