6. I'm watching too

It's great! I really like it. John Dean is great too. I wish I was there to get a signed copy of both books. Wow!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

8. I'm guessing she doesn't like Alito much...

:rofl:

[me b zola]

11. Boxer strongly defending Roe!!!!

Addresses the arguement that says that we should give up on Roe to take the wind out of the sails of the repukes. Boxer says it must be a man who says we should do that. Goes on to talk about how Roe saves lives of women & gives dignity to their lives! :applause:

[Cleita]

12. Roe vs. Wade was a very moderate decision.

Wow! It's great to get a lawyer's view of it. She explains it very well, the womans rights in this decision.

[patrioticliberal]

13. I love Barbara Boxer!

[me b zola]

14. "secrecy is un-American"

[me b zola]

17. Boxer is REALLY on a role!!!!!!

[Greeby]

18. John Dean: Nixon could run as a Green today

:rofl:

[FreedomAngel82]

27. LOL

So sad isn't it? On Jon Stewart once it was said that Nixon would be a commie pinko today. :P

[Oceansaway]

19. Touche !!..n/t

[Viva_La_Revolution]

20. Ohh Goody!

I love Q & A sessions. :)

[me b zola]

21. audience doesn't like the idea of HRC as president!

Boxer is classy in responding to the question. Says HCR would be strong candidate, but there are other strong candidates out there too. Think about '06!

[cascadiance]

37. Nancy Pelosi has a better shot at being first woman pres than HRC!

[Greeby]

22. You missed the hint about the Presidency, Barbara

;)

[Cleita]

23. Yes, she did and someone has to slap her across the

mouth with their glove to wake her up.

[patrioticliberal]

26. She said "It won't be me" at a book signing. Not kidding.

[Cleita]

28. As much as I hate to lose her as a senator, she really

needs to consider this. I can see many, many reasons why she would be a reluctant candidate but maybe the fact that her country needs her might make her change her mind.

[cascadiance]

36. I heard her also in an audio clip saying she doesn't have plans...

It sounds like she's concerned about her "electability" as the main candidate. She did indicate that she would work hard to help whoever the progressive candidate is as much as she can. It wouldn't surprise me to see her perhaps considering being someone's running mate. I think she might balance a ticket out with someone like Wesley Clark on it as a good complement to him. I prefer Feingold at this time, but I have a feeling that she wouldn't complement him as well as she would someone like Clark. I certainly would like to see her as VP to get a woman "in the house", and the right one to be there to start with too (unless we can get Nancy Pelosi in sooner! :) )

24. JD,"everything but social security has been tied to 911"

John Dean on a role!!!!!


OOOOOPS, BB just said king george!!!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

25. There's 'the' quote...

"He's the only president to admit to an impeachable offense."

[FreedomAngel82]

29. Voting machine's now I believe

:D

[me b zola]

30. Q about diebold's ability to be hacked

there is legislation for a verifiable papertrail. Repukes are blocking. We must take back the Senate. Says ink stained fingers must work better than Diebold. Voters should not stand 6 hours to vote.

[me b zola]

31. JD: nobody died as a result of Watergate

people are dying now because of abuse of power. :applause:

[me b zola]

32. No more lies

my eyes were welling up

[Viva_La_Revolution]

33. Excellent!

I'll kick this thread when I see it repeat...
