Here is a sample article from the 2010 election, where the challenging candidate points out the incumbent obvious short-comings. You'd think we could see that on our own, but we don't. From Voters, to precinct walkers, to campaign contributors, to Legislation petitioners, no one seems to ask our Senator to get some good work done. We just don't do it. We are all lousy supervisors. We are not qualified to review the work of a professional who works for us. Can you imagine going to a Dentist and not evaluating the work done. The Dentist extracts the wrong tooth, - OK you're going to miss that while under sedation. But don't you eventually wake up and look in your mouth when you get home. Don't you sometime in the future of eating realize the bad tooth is still in your mouth. Sure we do. So why can't we notice after 18 years that none of the Legislation we wanted, our incumbent Senator promised, has been completed. Sure every bill has to make it through committee and Votes in two houses to make it to the president's desk, but that's not even the case. In the case of this incumbent Legislator, the Bills are not even drafted and dropped in the hopper. In summary, that's pretty dismal that our incumbent cannot even make it to the Suggestion Box. Let alone the fact that the "21st Century American Citizen" fails to notice the difference. Americans have a long way to go to be the shining example of Democracy that we think we are. We are a republic, we have representatives, they are the gatekeepers to the suggestion box, besides voting for the person with the best campaign promises, we must review the work to see that it gets done at all. Lest we may as well go to the dentist, let him pull out all of our teeth, so that we go forward in life exercising our freedom of speech like some dimwitted {I don't know insert your favorite character of such here to insult - Never-mind it's U.S.}
U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer Vs. Carly Fiorina Gets Nastier On KPPC: Fiorina's Ideas Are "A Disaster" And Boxer "Became A Multi-Millionaire" Instead Of Working In Senate

| Republican senatorial candidate Carly Fiorina |
Inside, Boxer slammed Fiorina's economic plans, describing them as a "disaster for California." Fiorina hit back, saying Boxer is a politician with "extreme" views who takes money from "extreme" environmental groups and does too much of their bidding. "Who's she representing?" Fiorina asked rhetorically. "The special interests or the people of California?"
Fiorina and Boxer, however, did not face each other in person -- the Democrat sat in front of a microphone in Washington D.C. while the Republican joined KPCC talk show host Patt Morrison and La Opinion columnist Gabriel Lerner in Pasadena.
During the hour-long debate, both women lived up to their reputations as tough, plain-speaking campaigners.
"She's become a multi-millionaire when she's been in Washington D.C.," said Fiorina about Boxer. "She's written three books."
Fiorina also called the Democratic senator "ineffective," telling radio listeners, "Ask yourself what has she accomplished?"
Boxer said Fiorina "didn't want comprehensive immigration reform," adding that the Republican is "hostile" to the environment and a supporter of "Big Oil."
The mud-slinging was thrown fast and furious, with both women unafraid to go for the jugular in this highly contentious race.

Francis says: LET THE GAMES BEGIN
The parade in to the political gladiatorial arena has began, as Sen. Harry Reid attacks Sharron Angle, Senator Boxer stands against Carly Fiorina, and in the most dramatic race for the governor of California Brown battles Meg Whitman. The battle is not between swords and Retiarius Trident, but between issues and ideologies? In one month the citizen-crowds will descend on the voting booths, but the big difference is that a third party has emerged called the Tea Party. Under the banner of the Republican, this is a clash of the elites and the moderate conservatives. Although jobs is the main event in this Coliseum, second to this must be the economy that is still writhing from the downturn. Main street banks are reticent on loaning money for mortgages, even though Democrats bailed out these institutions with billions,
Questions have not been asked by Andrew Coumo in New York, who had some nefarious dealing with Freddie Mac/Mea over pushing hard to give mortgages to unqualified low income home buyers. Third in line of issues is illegal immigration that Democrats are the major contenders in forcing through a path to citizenship or Amnesty. Sen. Harry Reid has been consistent in trying to enact laws on allowing illegal aliens a right to stay here after breaking the law. Each time the Reid has authored a bill for any immigration reform, his bills in the Senate has been shot down in flames. Yet when it comes to enforcement of the "rule of Law" he has interceded with law enforcement laws such as E-Verify and 287 (G). Both federal laws for local police to question suspicious persons, same as the Arizona law SB 1170.
Almost all Liberal-Democrats Senators like Reid, Boxer as incumbents must--NOT--remain in Washington, as they have completely ignored the 15 millions of Citizens-Residents out of work, and have not terminated for more cheap labor from the other side of the border fence, or one way flight tickets from foreign lands. The Democratic Party and even many of the staunch Republicans have allowed the illegal invasion, get out of hand as thousands are still slipping past the border fence and in addition there is no real way to know who is a true tourist or student at the airport?
After November in a likely lame duck sessions or perhaps before, the Democrats are searching for more votes. Liberal-Dem’s are hoping that the potential of passing some kind of immigration reform anticipate bringing more major minorities into the party’s power. So not--only--must we be very observant of any secret sessions behind closed doors to pass another negative immigration law, but be very aware that illegal aliens can and have violated the law in voting in federal elections. Many states still have no strong security measures to check who is voting? Utility bills and other easy fraudulent paperwork are not difficult to produce. A small group of other states are showing federal picture ID and extensive checks must be performed, specifically where absentee ballots are concerned. Combat between Brown and Whitman in California has illustrated the reality in this Sanctuary State as only Meg Whitman said she would enforce immigration laws and attest that she is against any Amnesty.
Billions of dollars are being drained in California in illegal alien welfare, as in Reid’s Nevada. Instant baby citizenship is a major problem that must be solved, because pregnant Mothers are intentionally arriving here, as they can immediately get post natal care along with a wide range of freebies and cash payments. Once here the fertility of foreign mothers escalate bringing for each child born at least six hundred dollars,. Those with more than three or four children can move into low income housing, to which other family members--legal or illegal--move right in. Then Guess who is paying for this--California taxpayers and the federal government. Schools are another major problem--that is overwhelmed with illegal alien children--again the taxpayer who pay for it all. Under the Democrats this give-away is only going to get worse. Nevada is no better off, as now illegal aliens are collecting unemployment benefits from the slide of the building construction.
Nevada with all its entertainment industry under Reid is falling into financial red ink. All states need to reconsider the massive costs of illegal immigration and take a minute to GOOGLE--Illegal alien--costs. You will be stunned at the expenditure by the US government, county and city welfare and public services and with not enough monetary returns. Business use cheap labor and the farming industry, but leave all the costs of health care and education to the unaware taxpayer. But this is not just a uncontrolled problem in border states, as in the last thirty years the invasion has spread across this soil. It is time for a reevaluation of our laws, which make it a felony to enter America without permission. Mandatory prison terms for business who hire illegal labor, with a uniform Guest Worker program that has not been fraudulently used as it is today.
We should welcome the highest skilled professionals from other countries, but not mediocre job seekers from other countries, who become contingent on welfare and other social programs. Just Remember that reelecting Senator Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, or any Governor, Major and elected officers will relieve you of more taxes to pay for illegal immigrant households--will be a repeat performance. You can shadow your Senator or Congressman at the Washington switchboard at 202-224-3121 NumbersUSA can enlighten you about the reality and costs of illegal immigration.

Thomas Chi says: Carly Fiorina has to go on the attack. She is being compared to the same Halloween bag of tricks and treats associated with the GOP: Sarah Palin, Whitman, O'Donnell, Sharron Angle, and she is being vilified - Guilt by Association.
Good bye, Carly. You are being associated with the extreme: Tea Party, Christine's witch's covet, Palin's Dancing with the Stars, and you might not think it matters, but your actions are as malicious to moderates and independent voters as Glenn Beck.

Kat says: Carly Fiorina is the worst candidate possible. She ran HP almost into the ground, purely because of her incompetence. Bought Compaq that was a pure loss so big that even massive outsourcing and layoffs didn't mitigate it. Obviously she does not understand economy.
Probably Barbara Boxer is not the smartest person. I disagree with her position on a lot of things. One of them is her position on gun control. But I'd rather would have her to represent me than Carly. Barbara is much less harm than Carly. So even been a Republican I will vote for Barbara.
