Good point. Two Alpha Females in the same room, with #2 more popular than #1? That would be a level of ugly no amount of media bias could hide. No way Clinton picks Warren, IMO.
So because Genealogical Society doesn't accept her claim...she's lying. Is that your position?
In any case, if lying disqualified one from being VP, then Trump wouldn't qualify to bag my groceries. Matter of fact, I'd probably check my groceries just to be sure he didn't swipe anything.
So, you advocate that almost all positions be left empty?
And we certainly cannot have someone serve as Vice President (or President) who has lied!
What do you guys eat to cause you to make these preposterous arguments?
Yeah, but Frank... you're 95, so just breathing is still attractive.I think for a 69 year old woman...she is rather attractive.
I see you post a picture of a wolf rather than one of yourself. You must be a beauty, right?

I'll only be 80 in early August, Radcen.
But I will acknowledge that waking up...and breathing...are both attractive.
Ah 80. A good time to move on, don't you think?
I've never stopped "moving on" Mason.
What are you suggesting?
You have never seen "Harold And Maude"
"I'll be 80 next week. Good time to move on, don't you think?"
It is a quote from the movie.
Oh...no I've never seen the movie.
When yer 80...you gotta move on. Let any grass grow under you...it will soon be growing over you, if you get my drift.
Here is what happened on Maudes 80th birthday. Great movie. I know every line.
Egad.
I think I gonna go out and get drunk!
You'd also probably vote for Rachel Dolezal, the "I'm black because I got a fake tan and permed my hair" nutbag.
Questions about Warren's character aren't limited to why she claimed to be an Aryan-looking Native American.
Warren also represented a major steel company while she was a Harvard Professor, in a case where the steel company was being sued by employees who were made deathly ill working for the company. But wait.. isn't it her claim to fame that she is a tireless fighter for the common man and woman? Why would such a person take compensation to help a company avoid paying damages to it's employees who were made disabled by working there?
So because the Genealogical Society doesn't accept her claim...she's lying. Is that your position?
My position is that she's a liar, yes.
Is that all you saw? Seriously?
And I'm sorry if my being uncomfortable with a lie somehow offends you, but I also qualified it and clearly stated it's not the end of the world.
(I'm not really sorry, I'm just being polite.)
I'm asking if that's your reason for determining that she's a liar.
So far, everyone who's called her a liar has no very good reason for arriving at that conclusion. They've taken one "Don't know, couldn't say one way or the other" by a genealogical institution and said, "Good enough for me! She's a liar!"
READ ...
" In late April, the Boston Herald reported that in the 1990s, Harvard Law School – where Warren began teaching in 1992 and was granted tenure in 1995 – touted the Democrat’s Native American background as part of an effort to boost its diversity hiring record. Warren’s campaign said she didn’t bring up her heritage before Harvard hired her and that her background came out through later conversations.
The next week, Warren acknowledged listing herself as a minority in a directory of law professors. The directory included her on a list of minority professors from 1985 to 1996, the Boston Globe reported. Warren said she listed herself as a minority because she wanted to connect with “people for whom native American is part of their heritage and part of their hearts.”
Elizabeth Warren, in her own words, admitted to lying for 11 years about being a native American.
The genealogical society's findings back up her own words stating that she lied about being Native American.

Chatter is increasing regarding the possibility of Warren becoming Clinton's running mate, and Warren is doing little to dispel that notion. This surprises me. I have said multiple times now that Warren can do far more as Senator than as Vice President. So assuming that Clinton is elected, and assuming that Clinton isn't eventually forced to step down for some reason I can't possibly imagine at this time, what could Warren do as VP that she can't do much better, and for much longer, as Senator?
While it's true that she can be the tie breaker in a Senate Vote, as Senator she has sat on the...
- Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs
- Subcommittee on Economic Policy (Ranking Member)
- Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Protection
- Subcommittee on Securities, Insurance, and Investment
- Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions
- Subcommittee on Primary Health and Retirement Security
[*]Special Committee on Aging- United States Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
- United States Senate Energy Subcommittee on Energy
All of which carries a fantastic amount of influence.
The only practical consideration I can imagine is she feels that Trump is a legitimate threat and her addition to the ticket would help counter that possibility.
Elizabeth Warren is ready -- in more ways than one | MSNBC

Oh, my god. A person who has told a lie wanting to be an American politician.
Why have we fallen so far?
