She was elected because her husband had been Pres, that's it. The Democrat machine got behind her because they wanted her in that position to help them. When she was there what the hell did she do? C'mon mr. fluffer, there's lots of Senators out there. What the hell did she do in 12 years? Name the bills she co-authored. Name the committee's she sat on and the influential decisions she helped craft. C'mon. Show us something other than her despotism derived jobs.
OK.

You can click at the links to see EXACTLY what the legislation was. There was a ton of it.
Hillary Clinton was quite a workhorse in the US- Senate. Even her Republican colleagues were forced to admit this. She was also one of the most-in-attendance Senators in the US Senate during those 8 years and when she was not there, until the 2008 primaries, was in her home state of New York, bringing the issues to the residents of her state, which is what a Senator is supposed to do.
That is her record. People who think that she did nothing of consequence in the US Senate are total blithering idiots. They, like Westwall, are the fuckwads who are going to be completely rolled over by Steamroller Clinton in 2016.
And, just for shits and grins:
Let's compare her work record to Jim DeMint, who was also elected to two terms (did not completely serve out his second term) from 2005-2013:
Jim DeMint Congress.gov Library of Congress
His TOTAL legislation over 7.5 years: 2,032 total pieces of legislation that he sponsored or co-sponsored. Of that 2,032, Jim DeMint directly sponsored 753 piece of legislation. He directly sponsored slightly more legislation than Clinton, but his overall work record was decidedly less. Plus, she did this on top of running for President in 2008.
Any Republican out there know EXACTLY what Jim DeMint sponsored, by name?
Chuckle, chuckle.
