Well, she's not in North Carolina. In recent years, she has only spent a few weeks in the state. All the while, she's voting with President Bush 92% of the time. This has resulted in a very low effectiveness ranking.
Elizabeth Dole has been busy in Washington DC representing the failed policies of the Bush administration. We need someone to represent North Carolina.
North Carolina should be an exporter of many things, but should it be exporting jobs to China? Elizabeth Dole thinks so. She voted to give tax breaks to companies that move jobs overseas. Meanwhile, her own state suffers the loss of 100,000 jobs disappearing.
That's the equivalent of an entire medium size city just up and evaporating.
North Carolina needs representation in the Senate that looks out for its interests, not the interests of China. Let China take care of China, and at the same time, lets have someone representing the interest of North Carolina in the Senate.
Dole talks a good game about reducing pork-barrel spending and being fiscally prudent. But, the problem is, she has a reality-gap. She has voted repeatedly for pork barrel projects. Remember the bridge to nowhere? Yes, she voted for that, among others, such as peace gardens in North Dakota, and a sculpture park in Seattle.
Dole is someone who can play the Big Oil money game with the best of them. She accepts huge contributions from Big Oil, and passes on even larger tax breaks! For Dole, the revolving door routine is starting while she's still in office.
Shouldn't she be representing the interests of her constituents, and not Big Oil special interests?
