During Barbara Boxer’s event at Cisco today, we couldn’t help but take note of her comment, “You know it is one thing if people say things, its another thing what they have actually done.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves, Senator.

Barbara Boxer has spent millions of dollars attacking Carly Fiorina for making the same tough decisions many American companies have been forced to make because of Boxer’s job-killing policies. But the truth of the matter is that these attacks are funded in part by tens of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from CEOs like John Chambers and from companies like Cisco that have also laid off workers and sent jobs overseas. Clearly, Barbara Boxer knows she cannot convince voters to support her based on her disastrous, bitterly partisan record, so, in a stunning display of election-year hypocrisy, she has resorted to attacking Carly instead.

Barbara Boxer would like you to believe she’s been hard at work for the people of California, but the truth of the matter is that she’s spent the last 28 years in Washington looking out for herself. Today, California Watch reports that Boxer earned huge profits through “exclusive” investments that were not available to the general public.

Barbara Boxer’s legacy after 28 years in Washington? It’s a legacy of failure and crushed hopes.

Californians have watched as their livelihoods have been crushed and their incomes have fallen, with more than 2.25 million people out of work and thousands facing the very real possibility of losing their homes. That’s not the “help and hope” Barbara Boxer promised the people of California. That’s failure.
