Kerry and Boxer voted no.
Rice/Boxer
- Thread starter DOGS THAT BARK
- Start date
Rice a black woman DTB a shoe in now days we need to keep the balance. Don't matter she screwed up first job.
As for exchange with Boxer. If you were watching Fox. I wonder why they never broke away for comercial when a love fest was going on with the Reb's kissing here ring. But when Dodd and Biden, Boxer asked tough question thay had to breakaway. In fact the second round of Boxer was missed for some BS discussion some guy had with Bush. Then later in the evening O'Rilley and Hanity both use cut tapes to show questions only to show there backing. Why should folks not ask tough questions. We should find out if she worth a shit.
When asked about China and our trade deficits and our shrinking dollar. She of course gave some answer that made little sence. But hell dont worry Rice. Our jobs are going our money is getting weaker and the trade deficit could end up worse then any terror attack. Just skirt by. No balls it should have been at least another 8/9 no's.

if boxer had voted "yes",she wouldn`t have one iota of credibility.....
some good news for all republicans....looks like theres a solid chance that howard dean may become the head of the democratic party....
possibly causing a few more conservative dems to bolt from the party......
don`t the democrats get it?......do they like losing time and again?....
even some of these hardcore liberals(boxer,kennedy,kerry,rangel) have to realize that there far left philosophy does not jive with the majority of the american people...
moderation....bring it more toward the middle.....
they aren`t going to jam a far left ideology down the american people`s throats....
flexibility....
they will continue to lose if they don`t adjust...

gw quote:"don`t the democrats get it?......"
unfortunately, they don't get it.
they have lost seats in both houses & in the governor races over the past few years & yet there is a wing of the democratic party that remains in the forefront.
the democratic party is turning back to the mccarthy/ mcgovern days.

DJV actually Biden had some of most complimentary statements on Rice and made it known he would vote for her.
Was no secret who the 2 disenting votes were. Boxer who will vote against anything even if she is only one--and "i'm not over it yet" Kerry--however he did say he was going to vote for her before he voted against her---
Your 100% correct AR & GW The Rebs need to get Boxer-Kerry-Kennedy-Dean,Rangle and company as much as exposer as possible preferably on front page of NYT, and let M Moore do public relations and Jerry Springer radio. --and they wonder why????????

The best hope the democrats have is if the rumors of Newt Gingrich running in 2008 are true and if he gets the nomination somehow.
On another note, I think Biden hit the nail on the head when he told Rice that Rumsfeld doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. How does that guy still have a job?
I guess Bush is nothing if not loyal to the people who kiss his ass and tell him what he wants to hear, no matter how misguided/erroneous.
It's guys like Powell that get run out on a rail and guys like Paul Bremer and Gerge Tenet who get medals.

i have to say that boxer/feinstein was a classic example of the old"good cop/bad cop" routine.......
rice had to be wondering wtf was going on.....the old misdirection play...
lol

Yeah, that was something else. Feinstein can be just as abrasive and ridiculous as Boxer, but it seems in this case, she's Condi's best friend.
I agree with some above that Boxer asked good questions, but man is she a bitchy hag. I thought Condi was either gonna cry or beat her ass yesterday.

IN THE REAL WORLD WE CALL THIS TELLING THE TRUTH.

That hearing was a joke for what most asked. Hell we would all get drilled more trying for a general job. Should they not ask why she changes her mind. I mean everyone worried about Kerry doing that. Chit it was a walk thru. Fun to watch the guys worried about how tough of question to ask. For sure the cowards in the Reb's side. It's a good thing some body asked her something to see if she can handle the job. I know she is just a yes person but even then you should have some ability.

Exactly GW!
No way the Dems vote down a female here.....let alone a black female. They would be tore up with it down the road. If she was a carpet muncher as well maybe Boxer would have gone a little easier.
Maybe they are just trying get their protesting crews stirred up for inaugaration.
Seriously what is it with liberals and protesting?? Apparently none have jobs or it is their occupation.
They just interviewed one of the groups a member of the black pathers who said they were meeting up with the washington liberation something or other at Malcom X park in DC tomorrow.
Don't know what signs these protestors will be carrying but "we are the losers" would be a generic fit all in more ways than one.
Sub freezing blizzard would be appropriate.

Maybe she should have answered:
A) "I don't recall"
B) "I don't remember" or
C) "I didn't inhale"
Why do the Republicans continue to bitch? You have everything. Stop whining about Barbara Boxer (are we supposed to treat Condee Rice with kid gloves when she's been such a failure?) or about innauguration protests (they have them for every president - not just this one - nothing new or surprising) and go about your freakin business! If you fought against terrorists, illegal border crossings, amnd corporate crimes half as hard as you continually beat down Democrats, this country would be a lot safer adn richer.
You won, get a clue, move one!
