Warts and All

Poll: Brown-Warren race a toss-up - POLITICO.com: From the Globe report:

Massachusetts is a political climate like no other. They are loyal to their liberals to a fault. 

Elizabeth Warren is a flawed candidate. She has been exposed as less than truthful on many occasions when it has benefited her career path. Yet, the liberal base of Massachusetts won't give up on her no matter what is exposed during her vetting by the non-mainstream media. The mainstream media only vets Republican candidates. Especially ones from Massachusetts.

Just look at this quote below taken from the Boston Globe story linked above:

But there are signs that the controversy has wounded the first-time candidate, whose entrance into the race came with a star power that galvanized Democrats and catapulted the contest into one of the most closely watched in the nation.


The vast majority of voters (72 percent) said the issue would not affect their vote, but 31 percent of self-described independents — a critical voting bloc — said the issue makes them less likely to support Warren in November. The Harvard professor’s popularity has also risen one percentage point, to 48 percent, since the Globe polled in March, but the percentage of detractors has climbed more precipitously, by nine points to 32 percent.

What does it take in Massachusetts for the democrats to abandon a liberal? Apparently quite a bit. Voters always knew of and happily accepted, the many foibles of the Kennedy clan. No matter the seriousness of their many transgressions, voter loyalty seemed to increase from the adoring lemmings of the Commonwealth. After all, Camelot must go on.

But, history is grudgingly becoming less kind to the legacy of the Kennedy clan, or should I say tribe (Sorry. Couldn't resist. Get it Princess Pants on Fire fans?). Ten years ago you never heard open discussions about patriarch Joe Kennedy's rum running beginnings. And certainly they were not admitted as fact as they are today. As the scandalous rumors of the Camelot years become today's facts about the less than moral lives led by John F. Kennedy and his sidekick Teddy, the lack of journalistic integrity that kept the castle's secrets for a generation is also being exposed. In the Commonwealth, it takes time to face facts about their politicians.

Will Massachusetts really elect another flawed liberal Democrat United States Senator over an incumbent moderate to liberal Republican? We will find out in November. But, I am guessing they will. They always do in. Warts and all.

History is not as forgiving as the voters in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Slow Down People. It's Hard Keeping Up!

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Liz Warren just won’t commit - BostonHerald.com

Thank goodness Joe Biden was put out to pasture this week because between Princess Pants on Fire and President Obama it is difficult keeping up with the fodder they keep spewing out. Between Obama slipping in the little secret about his sons and his insulting the people of Poland and still finding the time to confuse the NCAA with the NAACP during a ceremony at the White House. That was the same event at the White House where President Obama presented the Medal of Freedom to an avowed socialist. Things are hopping.

And who would have guessed that they keep the vital statistic of the number of nursing mothers that take the bar exam in New Jersey. Have to admit a weird curiosity about how they gather this data. Had I been familiar with this interesting data category, my first guess would have been that Elizabeth Warren was right up near the front of the line. What a talented Indian princess.

This poor lady needs a break. But it doesn't look like one is coming very soon. Both the Breitbart people and the Boston Herald smell blood. They are having so much fun that the Boston Globe is even testing the waters. And recently a large association of Native Americans have banded together and are beginning to exert some real pressure on behalf of the Cherokee Nation.

Give Ms Warren credit, she is staying on message without offering any proof. It takes a certain amount of moxie to pull this off on a daily basis. The problem with this tactic is that nobody, not even her allies, believe her any longer.

This Little "Indian" Is In Trouble

Elizabeth Warren: I told Harvard about my heritage - MJ Lee - POLITICO.com

Now this is really suspicious.  As reported in   The Boston Globe

The Democratic Massachusetts Senate candidate told the Boston Globe, “At some point after I was hired by them, I … provided that information to the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard.”

This is a very "lawyer-like" statement. Notice how she slips in the "some point after..." into the statement. This is done in an attempt to insulate her from being accused of abusing the minority claim she made on many occasions to gain advantage in hiring and to benefit from affirmative action hiring advantages. Records must exist at Harvard and Penn. They will bubble to the surface.

It appears that this little Indian has a problem with "misstatements".
