    That's what I've told my kids to do if they are in an AA situation. We have family lore from both sides of the family so we I would say my family is just as entitled as Warren is. As long as we have affirmative action, I'm Indian.

    It cost me plenty. Beer + tuition + room and board. Took me years to pay off. But I did get into a school with a dilettante-based curriculum.

    Haven't we had enough liars as candidates? The funny part about liars is if they are willing to lie about one thin, they'll lie about anything. Obama is proof of that.

    well, I know her as the Democrat who criticized her Republican opponent for his support of wanting to legalize marijuana.. which almost seems like a bizarro world scenario


    She's not my overall favorite candidate to run for president, however I would consider voting for her, but I'd first need to get more information on what her stance is on foreign affairs, and I'd also need to know who she is running against.

    Democrats love to play both sides of any given issue. Consider how Hussein "evolved" in his position on gay marriage.

    Fauxcahontas is a lying sack, but that makes her a typical Democrat. Presidential timber for the free stuff crowd.

    She's a good worker, if I was the government I'd quite like to hire her - but I disagree with a lot of her views and values. I have similar thoughts about Scott Ludlam over here. Really bright guy, hard working, respected by his colleagues, but we differ on value calls.

    I'm sure the moochers will just love Fauxcahontas - if Bossy doesn't run.

    I'd vote for her for president if the election was today. But after Obama, I wouldn't have any expectations that she'd actually challenge the 1% and favor the 99% until after I saw her act on it. My whole question would be, "Ok, she's won, now will she be bought out like Obama, or will she act on the things she claims to support? Really change things in favor of the middle class or cave to the 1% to get more campaign money? "

    So then if that's the case, then there can never be opposition to elitism, since only people like that are ever allowed to speak.

    It's funny how the Faux News RETARDS support the rules favoring the bankers' interests over their own?

    Well, then we know how to hire accountants instead of being accountants.

    Is there a stronger anti-abortion position than the pro-gay marriage position?

    Well some of us do. Others of us know how to hire really smart bookkeepers who charge 1/10th per hour what a CPA does.

    She is a consummate liar and propagandist...the prerequisites for any national level politician for the two major parties!

    Why do you hate successful people?

    Well, can you list the lies she has told?
    OR are you just repeating what your master told you to think?

    I don't. Elizabeth Warren is an elitist who rails against elitism. That is just her schtick.

    Elizabeth Warren is brilliant.
    She speaks in clear concise grammatically perfect sentences that cut right to the heart of the matter being discussed.
    She destroyed Scott Brown, who had been polling as the most popular politician in Massachusetts a year before the election.
    She has gotten all kinds of consumer finance protections enacted into law.
    If she runs she will be a formidable candidate, in the primaries, and in the general election.
    And to contrast her with Obama, she is less of a politician, Obama will try to compromise, Warren will go to the people, and get the people to demand the right thing.
    She has the potential to be a major populist candidate.

    How is she an elitist?
    Is it because she has enjoyed success in her career?

    Turns out you are correct and I was wrong. I should have realized that charging $350K to teach one class at Harvard while railing against doctors charging people to save their lives; living in a $5M mansion while taking credit for the Occupy Wall Street Movement; and letting Hollywood types like Barbara Streisand pay for you campaign just scream "egalitarianism".

    So you do hate successful people ... and you enjoy making up stuff about them...

    Haven't made up anything. Everything is my post has been reported. Tell us how she wants to reform student loans that pay for her Ivory Tower next. That "Woman of the People" thing really cracks me up. It is almost as good as people believing that voting "Present" is bold leadership that one can hang their hopes on.
