What's your biggest problem with each of your State's U.S. Senators?

Kyl is a quiet, thoughtful, considerate gentleman.  He seeks to resolve matters between conflicting groups which sometimes are not resolveable.

McCain is a dishonest, pompous jerk who doesn't even bother to try to represent Arizona.  He's just a moutpiece for the liberal media.

Arlen Specter is a moderate who tries to reach across the aisle.  He also looks out for the best interests of Pennsylvania.  However, I am convinced he doesn't even know where he stands on many issues.  I love how people accuse John Kerry for being a "flip-flop", but Specter is 1000X worse.  Example, when he had to face a challenge from Pat Toomey he is all of a sudden a hardcore Bush Republican.  The day after he beat Toomey, he comes back to Philly and acts like he is a moderate, independnet voice.  I don't get him.  Grades: Competence: B+ Overall: C-

Rick Santorum is a deceptively elegant speaker.  Anytime he says something, you have to read between the lines.  Once you do that, you will realize he is one of the biggest jerkoffs in the Senate.  He commands his fairly right-wing views in the English language quite eloquently.  This is of course minus the homosexual comment, which he was clearly not that eloquent on at all.  I agree with very little about his voting record.  Grades. Competence: C+ Overall: F-

That Feinstien is pretty conservative and boring.

Boxer is actually more liberal than the liberal Senator from Massachusetts (Ted Kennedy)

Senator Boxer is the top vote getter of anyone in a non national race in United States history with 6,947,021 votes.  Yes, this is the Senator that has a lifetime rating of 2 from the ACU.

She also has an electorate that is the largest subnational unit in the United States and it's the "Left Coast," though it might be swinging back.

Don't you get sick your lame spin? She's both the most liberal and gets the most votes.

Stop with the California bashing, we are subsidizing you.

Boxer and Kerry won every income group up to $150k in California. Boxer almost won the $150k - $200k group. The rich tend to benefit disproportionately from the government, anyways.

Okay, jFRAUD, I'll take it slowly and explain it to you.  California is a state, a state with a lot of people in it.  In fact it has more people in it than any other state in the Union.  More people register to vote there than any other state.  More registered voters vote there than any other state.  Candidates that win in the state usually get more candidates than in any other state, because more people can vote for them.  

Do you comprehend this jFRAUD?

JFRAUD also raises an interesting issue.  His complaint is that the people, at least on a statewide basis, who pay more money are not electing the President.

Does he favor a system where the more taxes you pay the more votes you should get?

Do you call the 18% of CA Bush voters who voted for Boxer loony?

No, just pointing out the attempted spin, and moronic ideas, of JFRAUD the loony leftist.

The fact is, the most liberal Senator got almost 7 million votes, including 18% of CA Bush voters.

She beat Wilson 1912,  and Cleveland and all earlier Presidents.

Why's that important? Does that make someone who gets 100% of the vote for Town Highway supervisor in the middle of nowhere more important?

Well, because it shows the number of people, within her state that don't like her.  I'm pretty sure that Al Sharpton could get 7 million votes under either party banner in the US.  I'm also pretty sure he would get no more than 3 electoral votes (DC).

Percentage is what really matters, not your fallacious spinning, jFRAUD.

Since jFRAUD is nowhere to be found, Boxer had 58% of the vote or 6,453,157  votes.   Bill Jones had 38% of the vote or 4,240,828. 

The source is here:
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=index&cid=2286&inc=s_g_ca_0_7861_1.shtml

Ah, this might explain jFRAUD confusion about Ohio; he added just over half a million votes to Boxer's totals.

I actually find it sort of interesting that San Diego County voted for Bush and Boxer. Now THAT makes no sense. However, living there for a while, I did get the impression that Californians are happy with a Californian incumbent hanging around.

Sarbanes: He's had 25 years to make a name for himself. I've never seen him on TV or make any public appearance

Mikulski: Doesn't look so great on TV, heh.

Both have great voting records.

Hillary is crazy and has Presidential ambitions that could potentially destroy the Party's chances in '08. 

Schumer is a glory-crazed media hound who is far too interested in seing himself in the newspaper.

Grassley: Is too quiet in the Senate. He works as a tool of the farmers as well, now more than he has in the past.

Harkin: Super-partisan annoying guy who only thinks the way the Democratic Establishment tells him to think.

Corzine: Knows almost nothing about the political system. Votes with his party on almost everything. Can buy himself as many terms as he wants as senator or governor.

Latuenberg: Also very partisan, but more laid back. Not elected because he had a lot of money, but he was given the senate seat stolen from Forrester in 2002.
