It is unacceptable that Americans had to wait in line for up to 7 hours to vote. We can fix it by passing the LINE Act. 1.usa.gov/Vwr6ir

Sen. Barbara Boxer (@SenatorBoxer) December 05, 2012Gasp! People had to wait in line to vote? Oh, the humanity! What an untenable burden. Luckily, Senator Boxer (D-Calif.) is on it. And her fellow travelers are all giddy.
@edshow #edshow Kudos to Sen. Boxer for taking the first steps to solving the long lines—

The most pressing issue of our times!
@SenatorBoxer Thank you for your LINE Act Bill to hopefully stop the travesty of Voter Suppression—

A travesty. Oh, the injustice of … standing. Being made to queue up is totally suppression. Who are the dastardly demons behind such a thing?
Thank you @SenatorBoxer we need federal standards for elections. Its so unfair that Republicans can force long waits to vote! @EdShow—

Rethuglicans, of course! They are forcing people to actually vote. Sheesh! Every ballot should have just been automatically marked for Obama. Problem solved!
Of course, Rachel Maddow also thinks this is peachy, but sane Twitter users try to explain reality to both Senator Boxer and Ms. Maddow.

Something else we can over regulate and not fix anything.—

@SenatorBoxer it's unacceptable the Obamacare, @SenatorBoxer un-Constitutional Act, is now law!—

Sigh.
People waited in line to vote Seven hours… And @SenatorBoxer has a solution create more government to fix government? #idiot—

@GOPgirlrants @SenatorBoxer yeah, cuz a long line every 4 years is much more important than $16T in debt, no budget, and Trillion $ deficits—

Bingo! And Richard Grenell, as always, puts it in a nutshell.
Hey Barbara, what about the long unemployment lines? @SenatorBoxer to combat long lines at polling places tinyurl.com/b3qamg5—
Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) December 05, 2012
Boom! She will solve the crisis (and travesty) of waiting on line to vote. But long unemployment lines? Not so much. No big whoop!
Oh yeah, she’s also a liar.
Republicans are holding middle class tax cuts hostage to their demands for more tax breaks for the wealthy. WATCH: 1.usa.gov/XrlkyU—
Sen. Barbara Boxer (@SenatorBoxer) December 05, 2012
We have just 27 days left. It's time for @SpeakerBoehner & the GOP to stop blocking the #middleclass tax cuts. #My2K nbcnews.to/QG8gTd—
Sen. Barbara Boxer (@SenatorBoxer) December 05, 2012
Citizens call her out on her shameless lies.
PSST. The GOP House has already passed a bill extending the middle class tax rates. Stop lying, you scumbags. @SenateDems @SenatorBoxer—

@SenatorBoxer SHUT UP Barbara, you are such a liar. Look in the mirror.—

@SenatorBoxer @SpeakerBoehner They're not tax cuts, Senator Boxer. Stop lying to the American people.—
Rick Medlin (@rickVBA) December 06, 2012
These are our Democrat “leaders,” people. Solving the crisis of lines and fiddling about with hashtags in lieu of actual fiscal cliff plans.
Forward!
