That's the story of what happens honest, real people when they become politicians. They have to compromise; it's the nature of a democratic process. But those of us at the wrong end of their compromises think they've failed us. And then we throw the bums out for the new ones who promise whatever. And then they compromise--or, as with Obama, get thwarted by the mass engine of the opposing party. And then we throw them out. And then.... @Walker,
So I’ll ask you–ever seen Robert Redford in The Candidate? That’s the story of what happens honest, real people when they become politicians. They have to compromise; it’s the nature of a democratic process. But those of us at the wrong end of their compromises think they’ve failed us. And then we throw the bums out for the new ones who promise whatever. And then they compromise–or, as with Obama, get thwarted by the mass engine of the opposing party. And then we throw them out.

That's all I've got to say. Or maybe not. As for Francis? WTF? where did he/she come from and doesn't he know he's on the wrong blog? And, good for you for not editing his garbage... I didn't bother to read it all, just a quick skim. I'm also tired of all the ads and ready for some honest, real politicians. Yes, call me naive, but I see it as hopeful. Vote, vote, vote! That’s all I’ve got to say.

Not worth wasting breath on it. I'm proudly supporting Boxer. She's worked her ass off for this state and she sits on some very important committees. She's got the seniority and clout to make sure California gets its share of the federal pie (such as it is). A junior senator starting at the bottom of the Senate food chain would not be good for the state, especially in these economic times. Plus Carly is just an embarrassment -- and she nearly destroyed HP @byjane, I agree re: this comment. Not worth wasting breath on it.

Have you ever seen the film The Candidate? I think it should be required viewing in all highschool civics classes. @Joanna Jenkins,

But about your post: I'm hoping that "huge Gotcha-smirk" gets wiped off Carly's face too, in part because her ads are so stinking B.A.D. She got some really bad advice on how she presents herself in this campaign. For that reason alone I don't think she's very smart. The amount of $$$ being spent in this year's campaign is shameful on all accounts by all parties. If that loot had been put to better use by any of the campaigners I might have voted for them. But, my confidence in any of the choices is slim to none. Maybe New York's Bloomberg will buy a beach house and come save our state-- NYC is booming thanks to him. Wow, Francis had A LOT to say….

The commenter admits as much when he says in the first sentence, "<strong>All I know</strong> about Senator Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer and generally–ALL–Liberal Democrats are that they are genuflecting to illegal aliens..." Yes, that's all the commenter knows, but it isn't factual in the least.

MASS AMNESTY! All I know about Senator Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer and generally--ALL--Liberal Democrats are that they are genuflecting to illegal aliens and an Liberal-Dem Incumbent returns means Amnesty for the 13 to 20 million living here. Reid has affirmed that in the Lame Duck session of the Senate he will pass this abhorrent Amnesty to criminals. What remains is the silence, about the cost of $2.6 Trillion dollars (Heritage Foundation), to make it comfortable for illegal aliens which will come out of taxpayers’ pockets; added to the 13. 5 Trillion Federal Debt we already have accumulated. The far left progressives have already voted for the illegal invasion and to extend our Social Security to them, even the ones who never paid into the system (May 2007) GOOGLE—On The Issues website. WE ARE DIGGING OUR OWN FINANCIAL GRAVES WITH REID IN SENATE AND BOXER. Under another reign of the Liberal Democrats, America might just as well open the border gates wide; demolish the half-completed fence between our Southern border and the other side. Then have Senator Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, Russell Feingold, Jerry Brown, standing at each entrance handing out maps, welfare chits, a brand new Social security cards, a drivers’ license and about $600 dollars of taxpayer money. Hey! Reid says we can take more foreigners into our midst, as we only have 15 million citizens and legal residents, looking for a job, while 8.6 illegal nationals are gainfully employed. Have every Democrats lackey stand outside each border hospital and proffer to every pregnant woman, who reached America a brand new birth certificate, for the potential instant citizenship baby, a check for the public benefit line and a signup sheet for low income Section 8 housing—so the whole family can join them. Additionally, for every child they now have from now on, food stamps, cash payments and a medicade card for future pregnancies. The wives can churn out more children to become immediate citizens and swell our schools to overload, where nobody is learning because the teachers have to first contend with children, where English is a second language. In California where 18.9 percent of the kids drop-out of high school, because many teachers don't comprehend English, as they have been recruited from South of the border. Democrats could lay-off the US Border patrol, the DEA, ICE and other policing authorities, so that the uneducated, those carrying contagious diseases, the destitute and other foreign peons could take the jobs of our own impoverished workforce. Maybe the Catholic Church and other religious groups will take the illegal nationals into their homes, feed them. Perhaps we should place notices in every barrio, ghetto around the world and have these nonsensically politicians procure military aircraft, to fly in every foreign national, every criminal and terrorist into our nation. Have fleets of buses waiting to transport them, to every corner of America, with stop-offs at hospitals for the sick, mentally handicapped and old. We should have ambulances waiting at the border or airport terminals, to drive those individual who must get immediate dialysis, prescription drugs or a major surgery. With the Obama's new medical care reform most of these special issues will be recognized, as illegal aliens will have no insurance or any ability to pay for physician’s treatment. They walk away completely free of paying and once again the taxpayer-patsy will get the bill, while citizens will be chased down by obnoxious debt collectors. Taxpayers can foot the bill as they have always done and my guess always will, unless these corrupt politicians on both sides of the aisle in Washington actually work for the American people. That’s why THE PEOPLE'S TEA PARTY has risen in a revolution, to halt the corruption and greed of both parties. GOOGLE—NumbersUSA website and Judicial Watch and learn about the deep seated corruption Google—Illegal alien costs and read highly regarded reports from unbiased sources. If we vote back the hidden Liberals, it will be self inflicted wounds. Attention should be drawn to illegal aliens voting, as Senator Reid's is there only real chance of the passage of---AMNESTY. THIS IS SENATOR HARRY REID’S, BOXER & BROWNS ULTIMATUM TO THE TAXPAYERS OF AMERICA. MASS AMNESTY!
