Barbara Boxer who says she is against the war did all she could to help Joe Lieberman to victory last fall.
What a filthy lying hypocrite!
She represents all that is wrong with the Democratic Party today and why so many rightly distrust it.
Chickens. Home. Roost
Dear Stirling,
Help us end the occupation in Iraq.

Did you hear President Bush last week talking about Iraq? Instead of listening to the vast majority of the American people on Iraq, President Bush is talking about how wrong it was to leave Vietnam.
Well, just a reminder to this President: U.S. troops stayed in Vietnam, in the middle of a civil war, for more than ten long and painful years. More than 50,000 of our young people died, countless wounded mentally and physically. Suicides and homelessness still follow too many of our Vietnam veterans. How many more would have died if George W. Bush had been President in the 1970's? How many more of our troops and innocent Iraqis will die if we don't finally end this war?
Who tossed out this piece of fundraising spam? Why none other than Barbara "I'm sticking with Joe" Boxer. If we need an example of the hypocrisy of our governing classes, it is this. I was in the room when Boxer backed Joe Lieberman in a tight race against Ned Lamont. Lieberman pretended to be anti-war, but he instead spoke in "parse speak." He intended to back the war, and any escalation of the war, even as he tried to say he wanted to end the war. Meaning he wanted to end it with a smashing military victory, or not at all.
Boxer backed him, on the record, and in front of an audience of people who did not want to hear it. That's how this war happened, with millions of people just like Barbara Boxer backing the war when it was convenient - and a vote for Joe was a vote for escalation, as we knew then and have seen proven in blood now. Boxer has lost all credibility to ask for funds agains the war, because when the chips were really down, she backed the war.
If you wanted to end the War Senator Boxer, then dumping Joe was the part that you could have played. If you and a few dozen other party apparatchnicks had helped bury him in the primary, then we would not have the situation we are in now. You voted for the war already, it is too late to be against it after you were for it.
