Still, watching Boxer get skewered for trying such a transparent ploy was amusing.

We all know it’s a power grab, and nobody is interested in the truth. None of them can even do the math.

And the dead calm on the sun continues. Better stock up on firewood.

It CERTAINLY has nothing whatsoever with any astronomical objects 93,000,000 miles away.

I stand by my comments.

If Harry wanted his points to be judged on merit alone, why is he there as the head of the BLACK Chamber of Commerce? Is there a white chamber of commerce I never heard of?

If he wanted to be viewed as an individual and not as a ‘black man’ or ‘representative of a black group’, why does his organization put the racist distinction right up front in its title?

Boxer’s idiocy and arrogance are inescapable, and it’s grand that they are on display for people to wake up to. Still, from out here in the flatlands, it looked a lot like a euchre game, with the race cards being trump. Boxer led with a trump and got beat with the ace.

Lost on me in all this is why the opinions of the Black Chamber of Commerce on idiotic energy policy would carry any more weight than anyone else’s. I know a lot more about science, thermodynamics, and economics than the average senator, but my views aren’t welcome. Probably because I don’t belong to the right group.

Boxer’s part! This gentleman clearly wanted his statement to be judged on its merits alone, without regard to what other “black groups” have concluded. In short, he wanted to be viewed as an individual, not as a “black man,” or “representative of a black group.” Boxer’s arrogance was obvious as she worked overtime to deny him that consideration.

She always talks SLLOOOOOOLLLLLY to those she doesn’t consider bright enough match her magnificent mind. Her condescension is always directed at the little people. Congrats to Mr. Alfred for giving it back to her.

Mrs. Boxer has little understanding of reality. She is only after one thing and that is absolute power. She has no interest in job creation unless of course it benefits her own interest. Mr. Alfred showed a tremendous amount of restraint. I probably would have lost it and called her several unsuitable names, unfit for publication.

This native Californian has intensly disliked Boxer’s politics ever since she was a supervisor in Marin County! Do not think that all Californians agree with her pap. If there is a way to get her out of office, I will be the first in line. She is a menace. Again, kudos for Mr. Alfred for speaking up.

Are you sure this isn’t a hoax! I admire the man’s self-control because I would’ve done something very impulsive and stupid if I were in his shoes.

Her and Feinstein both!

Nah. It will never happen. Both are very popular here, which says something about the people who live in California.
