Senator Inhofe: "Defeating Barbara Boxer Is Not a Victory, It's a Contribution to Humankind" (Audio)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, March 11, 2010, 8:15 PM
I spoke with Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) today, the top-rated conservative in the US Senate according to National Journal. Senator Inhofe discussed earmarks, Barack Obama’s runaway spending, Al Gore’s millions, and his pal, Senator Barbara Boxer.
On Earmarks—
Senator Inhofe: People talk about earmarks as if this is the big problem. This is not the big problem. Earmarks if they were all killed would only reduce discretionary spending by 1 1/2%. A lot of the biggest spenders in Congress try to talk, “Oh, I’m against earmarks,” to try to portray themselves as conservatives. So your’re hearing this from the most conservative member of the US Senate. Let me tell you two problems that are so important, because if you understand this and try to get this point across… If you stop an earmark it doesn’t save one penny. All it does is take that money and gives it to the President of the United States. That’s the way the system works. It goes to the executive branch. That’s why democrats are all for ending earmarks as they finally admitted in the House today. I invite them to go to my website and pull the articles on this subject. (The senator discussed this at length during the call. More here.)
On National Defense—
(4:00 mark) Liberals don’t think we needl defense systems to begin with. They think if all nations would stand in a circle and hold hands and disarm then all threats would go away. I’m not about to allow these people with this earmark program to put everything in the hands of Obama and that’s what they’d be doing.
On Non-existent Global Warming—
I was the only one to say this was the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. It all started at the United Nations. Then is was joined by MoveOn and George Soros and all the bad guys out in Hollywood.
On Al Gore—
(7:20 mark) Don’t feel sorry for Al Gore. We don’t know how many hundreds of millions of dollars he’s made on this but there’s some speculation that he might very well be the first environmental billionaire. So Al Gore will be fine don’t worry about him.
On Decreasing the Record Obama Budget Deficit—
(8:10 mark) I introduced legislation last night. It’s called The HELP Act. As you recall Obama got some credit for saying in the SOTU that we are going to freeze some non-defense discretionary spending and everyone applauded. Now wait a minute, he increased them in his first budget by 20%. So what I’m doing is taking his same language and saying instead of freezing it at 2010 levels we freeze it at 2008 levels which is 20% less than what he’s talking about… and save $900 billion.
On Senator Barbara Boxer—
Question (at 13:35 mark): Senator, I was wondering, I know you and Barbara Boxer have butted heads a few times and it looks like the election (in California for US Senate) is getting pretty close. Do you have any comments on that?
Senator Inhofe: The only problem with that election out there is she’s the beneficiary of three Republicans who are trying to beat up each other. I wish we had one Republican. Frankly, I don’t care who it is. I used to say, “Defeating Barbara Boxer is not a victory, it’s a contribution to humankind.” We need to get her defeated by anyone who’s out there. So I hope the strongest one who would wage the best campaign against her would go ahead and win.

NeoKong commented:
Anyone who runs against her should show over and over the clip of her talking down to the general because she didn’t think he was showing her enough respect by calling her ma’am and demanding to be called “Senator”because she worked so hard for it.

Jo commented:
Boxer, U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)have been the two Senate seats of California for many election cycles — and since they took their seats, the California economy system has gone down hill, and in currently in a crisis. and Piglosi is a work in-and-of-itself. Feinstein works for China, her husband has multiple business there — so why has her mind on making China prosperous.
Militant Conservative commented:
Direct fire has had an affect. Protests and ambushes effective. Opponent is retreating while setting off incendiaries and smoke screens to slow the pursuit. The enemy of freedom is in retreat and outnumbered. They hold the high ground for now but have little support from thier base and supplies are severely diminished. The Patriots are advancing on all fronts with overwhelming numbers. Even the most entrenched post is being overrun.
CAN YOU HEAR US NOW! This is an avalanche of pissed voters upon your doorstep. Best not call Barry, he is death upon all thet invoke his name. powder is dry.

Blue Collar Todd commented:
Here in California we can smell a political bloodbath in the making. There are some of us at California Bloggers For DeVore who are trying to help Chuck DeVore be the GOP candidate who defeats Barbara Boxer. DeVore is the one true and consistent conservative running in our primary. It is unfortunate that the Inhofe has endorses Fiorina.
Opus #6 commented:
Chuck DeVore went on Glenn Beck with a copy of the Constitution in his pocket. He is a conservative.

Darn tootin’ he’s a leader. I love my Senator. I moved from Texas to Oklahoma just a few months before the 2008 Elections so you know the caliber I am used to. I had to get to know the local Candidates super fast and I was so pleased! He has no qualms about speaking the truth and getting to the bottom of things and putting some of his over zealous colleagues in their place. If you ever have a chance to vote for Inhofe, put a big fat patriotic star by his name!
StrangernFiction commented:
Thank You Senator Inhofe. This is precisely what we need A LOT more of.
Jim commented:
HEY! You Can’t say that about my Senator without my approval – and I give it freely. I like Chuck.

Chinagate 1993-1996 ( and onward) Bill/Hill/ Gore’s started the get China the nuclear weapons technology drive. This was not the PTA drive or aluminum drive, I tell you. It was in California where Bill hosted Chinese military lunches — but no one cares, but a few. This sparked campaign finance reform, the original concern. Now China doesn’t want anything else from our nuclear weapons info/material. We all ready gave all of it to them, and Bill/Hill/Gore got at least — of what was documented $44,000,000 in contributions from the Chines military.

if you think the world was snookered by
Al Gore & Co’s Global Warming Swindle..
You ain’t seen bothin’ yet!!
[President Obama’s “science” czar, John Holdren, was co-author of a 2004 energy policy paper that recommended “cap and trade” legislation, including “clean coal” technology and $2 billion from the federal budget for construction of one to two new nuclear facilities.
WND has learned a co-author on the paper alongside Holdren is John Rowe, a financial bundler for President Obama’s 2008 campaign who serves as chairman of Exelon, the mega-utility owning 30% of all U.S. nuclear plants.
Rowe, who has financial ties to several members of the Obama administration, last month boasted how his company stands to gain financially from the regulation of high-carbon emitting plants – the
very recommendations Rowe set forth in his paper with Holdren.
[..]
The paper also has ties to the Apollo Alliance, an environmental activist group with a board that consists of a slew of extremists. The Alliance helped craft “clean energy” portions of Obama’s $787 billion “stimulus” bill.
[..]
A section of Obama’s $787 billion “stimulus” bill, signed into law in January, provides for $3.4 billion earmarked to “work toward making coal part of the solution and reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from industrial facilities and fossil fuel power plants.”
USA Today last month quoted Rowe stating “clean coal” legislation will benefit his company.
Rowe explained costs to run coal plants go up, driving energy prices higher, benefiting Exelon, since 92% of the company’s power comes from low carbon-emitting nuclear plants that won’t suffer the same higher costs as coal plants.
“Exelon wins sooner or later,” Rowe stated. “It
may just be after I retire,” at the end of 2012.
[..]
Jones himself decried the Apollo Alliance mission as “sort of a grand unified field theory for progressive left causes.”
Joel Rogers, a founder of the socialist New Party. WND reported on evidence indicating Obama was a New Party member. In an interview with WND, New Party co-founder and Marxist activist Carl Davidson recounted Obama’s participation with the New Party.
Jeff Jones, a founder of the Weather Underground domestic terrorist group who spent time on the run from law enforcement agencies while his group carried out a series of bombings of U.S. government buildings.]

BurmaShave commented:
I disagree with Senator James Inhofe concerning earmarks.
First of all, exorcizing the concept of earmarks from the wicked souls of politicians can be nothing but a good thing. Our criminal politicians on Capitol Hill have become so corrupt that they now think it is perfectly OK to bride each other WITH OUR MONEY in the service of perverting and corrupting the rest of America with their putrid and repulsive laws.
Secondly, a $40,000,000,000” Penny saved is worth saving.
Formerly known as Skeptic commented:
BurmaShave: I have to agree. While I understand the point Sen Inhofe is trying to make, It’s not about the savings, it’s about the corruption. The earmark process is being abused and needs to be trimmed back extensively or eliminated altogether.
Nexialist commented:
Shrink government; tackle entitlements, get rid of existing pork (Dept of Education), and the earmark issue will disappear.
American Joe commented:
Defeating any Democrat is a contribution to humankind.
WannabeAnglican commented:
Hear, hear! That the California coast hasn’t fallen into the Pacific each time they’ve re-elected Boxer shows the Lord is far more merciful than I am.
aprilnovember811 commented:
That’s funny, I love this Senator. He’s got a wonderful sense of humor. Isn’t his family the one who built the igloo for Gore to live in?
ndanielson commented:
The sick (but typical) thing about the 6itch from CA, is that there is audio of her all over the net referring to President Bush as Bush. He was worthy of no title in her eyes. These people are hypocrites in EVERY thing they do.
