"Now, the issue is who pays the price, who pays the price?" Mrs. Boxer said to Miss Rice during a Senate Armed Services hearing Thursday. "I'm not going to pay a personal price. My kids are too old, and my grandchild is too young." Then she told Miss Rice: "You're not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, within immediate family. So, who pays the price? The American military and their families, and I just want to bring us back to that fact."
Translation? *You have no kids or husband Condi!*

Barbara Boxer made the comment, which hurts all women, not just Condi Rice, because she is so blinded by partisan hate and intolerance she doesn't mind setting back the women's rights movement 30 years.
Boxer is an old, intolerant, light weight, political hack. Her remark is akin to blaming a rape victim for actions of her attacker.
And the argument that because she has no vested interest in the war that she has a less valid opinion is ridiculous. Boxer and the other California liberals are all multi-millionaires and claim to be looking out for the working guy... the only "working guys" these people know are the illegal aliens they have employed as landscapers.

genuine feminists understand that each and each and every females needs for a significant different and little ones. Boxer changed into way off and must have held decrease back her tongue, she is purely making liberals and Democrats look undesirable. Rice's inner most existence ought to don't have any relating her job as Secretary of State and Boxer ought to exhibit regret. it truly is all spitefulness and partisan hackery.

I'm not a Democrat , but even I can understand there is more then one way of looking at what Ms. Boxer said to Miss Rice . She was putting them both in the same boat , that neither had anyone to put in harm's way . So where is the insult !!!
Sure YOU can interpret it the way you want , because that's the way you think and I interpret it the other , because that's the way I think .
There is always two sides to everything . Please give me a break .
Burt T , YOU ARE SO RIGHT and FOX NEWS would never say it that way , after all they are Bush's LAPDOG .
2+2=5 , HOORAY FOR YOU !!!!!! for saying it exactly right

But isn't that what the womens lib movement was all about. You don't need to have kids, or a husband to make you a fulfillled women. No the dems wouldn't throw condi under the bus if she was a dem. They would be praising her for being the first african americian female to do this or that

What a good little Republican you are! Calling Democrats names and quoting Fox News. GW and the crew couldn't be prouder! And that crazy Barbara Boxer-admitting she-like Condi-isn't providing family to the military!

That would of course be YOUR translation. And why did you not include the comment poor little spinster Condi Rice said to PROMPT Boxer's questions?
I paraphrase, but Im close to quoting, "The lives lost in Iraq are an INVESTMENT (my capitalization) in the future, and we feel comfortable with the investment made so far". Which is a pretty callous thing to say about the troops this administration claims they support. They are not an Investment, they are human lives, men and woman with families they would have like to go home to.

It's only an issue to republicans who want to be offended. Boxer was driving a point home, asking a hard question. It's a question that deserves to be answered namely who pays the price. However instead of focusing on that the reps are focusing on the way Boxer phrased the question. Reps need to focus on what really matters.

Sometimes people say what they mean
Even though the Liberal FOX news wanted to twist this into a add-space sales promotion, it might only mean the Military Families pay the price for bad Administrative decisions. Not Boxer Not Rice Nor their families.

Boxer is a cruel, manipulative, liberal bi*ch. If the Democrats did not have people like Boxer, Pelosi, and Kennedy, then the Republicans would listen better to their party ideas.

Boxer must have went to the same liberal school as Rosie O'Donnell. The "Below the Belt Academy of Loose-Lipped Liberals"
