Boxer Accuses GOP of Acting Like Domestic Abusers

Sen. Barbara Boxer likened GOP lawmakers to people who abuse their spouses on Monday when discussing the current government shutdown and the looming debt limit deadline.

The California Democrat, who like most in her party, blames the lack of government funding and current impasse over raising the debt ceiling on Republicans who have insisted on passing measures aimed at dismantling the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare.

First she compared the current budget crisis to walking down the street on a nice day and then deciding to bash yourself in the head with a rock.

Then she said:

“It’s a self-inflicted wound. I never questioned, never questioned the fact that Republicans, Democrats, and Independents love this country. Love this country. I never questioned it. But I have to say, when you start acting like you’re committing domestic abuse, you’ve got a problem. ‘I love you dear, but you know, I’m shutting down your entire government. I love you dear, but I’m going to default and you’re going to be weak.’ Something is dreadfully wrong.

Something is dreadfully wrong with the mind of anyone who likens government budget politics to spousal abuse. Tell me where the similarities are, please.

However, I think an argument could be made that Obamacare being forced on Americans in order to subdue and control is similar to domestic violence.

LOL! First it was a 'War on Women' even though males pay higher prices with Obamacare. LOL!

Boxer is sick in the head. The Democrats addiction to spending is "domestic abuse" of the tax payer!!!

Using Boxer’s logic the headline should read “Boxer steal from children’s future”. By her logic she is a child abuser.

TEA PARTY SHOCKER! Babs Boxer Says We Dress too Well to be Real!

August 5, 2009

Babs says she knows the citizen protesters are fake — because they dress to well.

There is a joke among the co-founders of our local Tea Party group, the Southern California Tax Revolt Coalition, about putting on the “uniform” for an event. That “uniform” is t-shirt, jeans, and comfortable shoes o well!

Calling American voters fake, paid-for liars is certainly an interesting strategy — especially for someone like Babs

I also don’t think using children as a human shield is going to protect cowardly, special-interest representatives from voter wrath is going to work out too well, either.

Sen. Boxer: Government Shutdown Threat “War On Women”

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) says a potential government shutdown would be especially harmful to women. Boxer says Republicans have targeted a part of the Affordable Care Act that benefits women’s health.

Sep 30, 2013 - Sen. Barbara Boxer Claims Obama “Cut The Deficit In Half”, “He Rescued Us!”

Dear Ms. Boxer, “History is history”, as you say, and your Savior Barack Obama tripled the budget deficit.

Via WFB:

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.) claimed on Friday that the federal budget deficit has “been cut in half” under Obama.

Budget figures provided by the White House show that the deficit nearly tripled from 2008 to 2009, when Obama took office, and has remained above $1 trillion since then, though 2013 projections are slightly lower.

The country has seen higher budget deficits during every year of Obama’s presidency than it did during any of his predecessor’s eight years in office.

Budget figures provided by the White House show that the deficit nearly tripled from 2008 to 2009, when Obama took office, and has remained above $1 trillion since then, though 2013 projections are slightly lower.

The country has seen higher budget deficits during every year of Obama’s presidency than it did during any of his predecessor’s eight years in office.

The White House provides the following deficit numbers:

2005: $318 billion

2006: $248 billion

2007: $161 billion

2008: $459 billion

2009: $1.41 trillion

2010: $1.29 trillion

2011: $1.3 trillion

2012: $1.09 trillion

2013 (projected): $973 billion

Boxer made her remarks on the House floor on Friday:

If you listen to the Republicans, you’d that this deficit has gone up under President Obama. President Obama inherited a $1.2 trillion deficit. It’s now down — it’s been cut in half. It’s been cut in half. But if you listen to them, you’d think that, oh my God, everything is awful. I just took a look at the charts. I took a look at deficits under Democratic and Republican presidents. I am so proud to be a Democrat.

You can’t ‘blame’ her for thinking like that.

When the LIBS have an event they either have to have some ‘star’ show up to entertain - Didn’t it get so bad that they had to resort to having the ‘celebrity’ entertain AFTER the speeches because they would listen to the singer and LEAVE before the Speakers started.

Also, for ‘their’ spontaneous events they have to have ‘rent a crowds’ and bus people in to get some kind of crowd, then the willing ‘press/media’ will act accordingly when it comes to stories and pictures of the ‘adoring crowd’.

I think Michael Savage describes Boxer aptly:

“She should be running a brassiere shop in the Bronx!!”

This is what we get for giving women the vote and letting them run for office.

When you resort to name calling, it usually indicates you have no facts on your side, or you believe your opposition is in danger of revealing your true motives.

Hey Babs, if Republicans are equivalent to domestic abusers, then Democrats are rapists. Same logic.

Time to give California back to Mexico since those idiots will keep reelecting such low lifes as Babs Boxer and Di ( not so)Finestein.
