Yes, if the rich become poorer, the poor will become richer.

It seems that their lack of planning in their own lives extends to their political and economical philosophies also. They don't seem to understand that their poorly thought actions might have seriously negative consequences.
 

Exactly, the attempted swiftboating of a peoples candidate, by a corporate candidate. :peace

She hasn't done so for almost 18 years so it appears the only reason it is being brought up now is because internal polling is showing that Scott Brown is in trouble with Massachusetts voters.

It's discouraging that people will vote for a proven liar only because they belong to the same political party. Standards naturally decline, and that is ultimately bad for everyone
 
Fauxachontas is a perfect prototype of a liberal politician

1) affirmative action recipient

2) her credentials are accentuated by a bogus reliance on a quota

3) she whines about the wealthy while using political office to become rich and powerful without doing anything productive to merit it

4) she is an elitist who pretends to want to help the poor while doing everything possible to not associate with the "common man"

she's a turd and hopefully even a RINO like Brown flushes her down

Priority #1 for liberals is free stuff. Integrity is so far down the list you need a flashlight to find it.

I'm not willing to indict all liberal politicians; some are very fine folks whose beliefs are opposed to mine. (And obviously wrong since they disagree with mine!)

But here in Warren you have somebody you deliberately exploited an "opportunity" and now has to try to defend her exploitation because she's been busted. LOL, such a "minority" hire she was, and she let stand for eons that so-called "minority" status because it benefited her.

No tears that she's been exposed for the cheap opportunist she is.

Barrack Obama is 50% White but he calls himself Black. Elizabeth Warren says she is 31/32 White but she calls herself a Native Indian.

Being White seems to have fallen out of favor.
 
Also true is that in the Judeo definition, "race" descends from the mother rather than the father.

Obama's reelection theme is class-envy. Free stuff.

I have never understood this thinking. Forget how it may or may not relate to the election.

Is there "class envy"? Doh! As Homer would say, there has been class envy as long as there have been classes in human society. However, how does one go from accepting a reality, something that does exist, and adding to it a factor that may or may not exist.

Why and how does "class envy" equate to "free stuff"? The basis of class envy is a perception by one group (or groups) that the playing field and its rules are not fair, that one group begins the game with an unfair advantage, the old saying was "born with a silver spoon".

We have one side saying everybody in America has equal opportunities to better themselves, always with examples of those who have done so but exceptions only serve to prove the rule. So what is wrong with actually helping get everyone into the game with a real chance at playing with the same rules?

Of course there is class envy but I doubt it is as widespread as some would have us believe. The difference now is that Barack Obama is seeking to exploit class envy and make an election issue of it.

Everyone can play by the same rules now by working hard and working smart. Outcomes will vary.
 

Actually isn't that what she did? She said it was oral tradition that came down in her family. It was never used to get into school or into a job.
Tribes with lucrative oil/mineral/casino rights are not eger to ad to their tribal rolls.
Scott Brown is a Wall St. Lacky who fears (as surroget for W.S.) for his job, & Warren's mission to keep Wall St. (making Sen. Brown the #1 resipiant of W.S. $$$$) from rapeing the consumer.
Basicly it is the Swiftboating of Elizabeth Warren. Of course Warrens insistence that she will only talk about the issues doesn't help. We all know that when you ignor lies & misrepresntations, they grow. :peace

Heres the proverbial 'bone' I'll toss out there...the fact is this SHOULDNT be an issue. It should have been one and done a long time ago. I am always amazed at how foolishly politicians handle 'scandals'. Warren should have come out IMMEDIATELY and said..."wow...hey...totally my bad. When I did it I did so because I truly believed it is part of my ancestry. I see that people are upset and very much understand why they are upset. Please know I meant NO harm or disrespect and accept full responsibility and I appeal to YOUR rich heritage and traditions of forgiveness. Thank you." She should have offered a face to face meeting, came out holding hands...done and done.

Then every time it was brought up again she should have agreed with the person. Yes...I know...that was a mistake. Very much apologize. Now...about the campaign....

Politicians tend to do make things worse. Clinton did it. Edwards did it. Romney is doing it with his ever changing positions.

Did Homer say that there has been class envy as a reelection theme ?

Liz Warren is a lying sack of crap. ....... "Oh, but she says some good things" .................. oh the irony ;)

Either that or she's just lying.

Being 1/32 Cherokee makes her proud of her heritage. Good for her. I wonder, since she's so proud of her heritage, how many of Cherokee traditions and customs she practices?

Well for one thing she has traditional Cherokee recipes dating back 5.000 years which include mayonnaise and Worcestershire sauce. Cherokees of the 1/32 percentage type like to keep up with the times.
