Boxer has a Short Memory
Wednesday, January 26th, 2005I think Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) is losing her memory and/or mind:
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 Rice’s “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,â€? 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.�
Miss Boxer, let me give you a little refresher course on the Constitution of the United States.YOU do not hold the President accountable. The people who are governed hold the President accountable, and they have just re-elected him for another four years. They did it knowing full well about the situation in Iraq.
Apparently you have not been paying attention to what has been going on in Washington D.C. lately, so let me clear up a misunderstanding you seem to have. The reason that the President and other Administration officials made incorrect statements about WMD in Iraq is because the intelligence those statements were based upon was faulty. Intelligence, by the way, that at least two other Presidents, including your demi-god Clinton, had full faith and credit in and based decisions on. There was no intentional misleading of anyone.
If the Democrats follow her lead of repeating lies and misinformation about the current Administration into the 2006 elections, the Republicans may well have a super majority in the Senate before too long.
