Senator Barbara Boxer: serving in the military is like being a member of Congress

At a campaign event over the weekend in Inglewood, California, Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer seemingly equated being a politician to serving in the military –- and an Iraq War veteran supporting Boxer’s November opponent is calling on her to apologize.

“We know that if you have veterans in one place where they can befriend each other and talk to each other. You know when you’ve gone through similar things you need to share it. I don’t care whether you are a policeman or a fireman or a veteran or by chance a member of Congress,” the California senator said. “[Democratic Rep.] Maxine [Waters] and I could look at each other and roll our eyes. We know what we are up against. And it is hard for people who are not there to understand the pressure and the great things that go along with it and the tough things that go along with it.”

“Barbara Boxer’s disrespectful comments underscore just how out of touch she has become after her 28 years in Washington,“ Veterans for Carly Coalition Co-Chairman Lt. Commander Paul Chabot said in a press release, in response to Boxer’s comments. “Equating the experiences of members of Congress with those of brave soldiers who have fought to defend our country is just the latest example in a failed career marked by disrespect for our men and women in uniform.”

Chabot added, “Barbara Boxer owes an immediate apology to all members of America’s armed forces.”

She hates the military with a passion it seems and she has an inferiority complex, trying to assert the "congress" status all the time.

Maybe when she visited Iraq in 2005 our forces shouldn't have protected her if they're so inferior..
But you see, if anything they're bound by duty and orders, unlike her..

[BM OUT]

This women should be drummed out of politics,she is a disgrace.Incredibly though,never hear Olbermann or any lib call her an idiot the way they do Palin and she is light years dumber then Palin could ever hope to be.She sounds retarded,not as retarded as Pelosi,but retarded none the less.

[Dos Equis]
