After 17 years in the Senate, What’s Ma’am Got to Show For it?
Not much.
But, our junior Senator’s still got one year to complete her third term, so maybe she’ll actually accomplish something that helps bring the Golden State back from the brink. Yet, the one bill she’s mostly recently authored will likely cost California jobs, even while it’s unemployment is soaring. Should this bill passes, “it would only be the fourth bill she’s championed that’s signed into law during her three terms as a U.S. senator.” While she may succeed in helping enact a law, she will also help increase her constituents’ energy costs and further reduce employment.
After nearly 17 years in the Senate, “only three of the nearly 400 bills she has sponsored have ever been passed.” Her senior colleague, the decent Dianne Feinstein who has served two full months longer than Mrs. Boxer “has had four times as many bills signed into law.”
As the 2010 Senate race heats up, Californians should not lose sight of Mrs. Boxer’s record. The state’s economy is ailing. Nearly 1 in 8 people in the Golden State are out of work. And Barbara Boxer kowtows to liberal interest groups.
We need someone who’s going to represent the Golden State, crafting legislation in Washington that will reduce regulatory burdens in California–and across the country. With fewer regulations, entrepreneurs can more readily start up new businesses, while those owning existing firms can pour their profits into innovation and expansion rather than bureaucratic compliance. The former leads to a growing economy with more jobs, the latter leads to continuing economic paralysis.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Boxer hasn’t been writing legislation which helps business. Her bills would only increase regulation. So, maybe it’s a good thing she hasn’t been successful. But, it would be a better thing if instead of having a Senator take up space while misrepresenting her constituents, we had somehow actually acting on their behalf.

Yes, Boxer is looking to add the regulatory reforms that will increase costs for the entire country – but the policies, regulations and TAX REFORM that will improve California’s economy will have to come from Sacramento.

I would love to fire Boxer, but there is no good candidate that would be acceptable to California voters to replace her. I dont like any of the front runners in both parties. I do refuse to vote for Boxer or DeVore.
I would love to vote for DeVore, but he does not believe I deserve equal rights. Of course DeVore would be great on the economy or foreign policy, but on the issues that matter most to me. I will likely vote Libertarian Party again.

Well, I guess you can say she gets what she wants most of the time and that she is a rich bitch.
What more could she ask for? Do nothing and get all she wants. Of course sometimes she gets what she don’t want too.
When is Mr. Harry Alford, Black Chamber of Commerce going to make that trip to California to visit the sites to see those green jobs?

This was a great interview.

You’re writing under the assumption that most Californians would rather have jobs than see leftist/environmentalist policies imposed on the nation. If that were the case, they wouldn’t be sending Boxer to the Senate in the first place.

[...] guess accomplishments don’t matter too much to Mrs. Boxer, ’cause in her 17 years in the Senate, she’s accomplished about as much as the President has in his nine mont…. So, she’s probably thinking, if he has earned the Noble Prize, I’ve earned [...]
