He lives in Massachusetts and is voting for the President but he HATES Elizabeth Warren. All he will say, quite loudly is SHE IS A LIAR! A LIAR WHO LIES! A LYING LIAR WHO LIES!
He went on to say how great Scott Brown was and I told him he better take a look at his ENTIRE record and not the few decent votes. But WOW. I dont know how anyone could feel that way about Elizabeth Warren!!! I do hope she wins in Ma!

(31,849 posts)all those lies on the important things ... Like her Native American heritage; the gop has declared is not true. Hope no one in the happy hunting ground tells her departed grand-mother.

(15,220 posts)I think her candor and simple explanations on very complicated matters are terrific.
As to your brother, I find the same thing from some Republican friends. When you ask them why they don't like a candidate, their answers are basically "because".
While those of us who need more substance in our answers stand back and wait for more of an explanation from them...they think "because" is enough!

(36,407 posts)"These are my family stories," Warren has said. "This is what my brothers and I were told by my mom and my dad, my mammaw and my pappaw." But so far she and her campaign have been unable to establish that her family lore about being part Native American is anything more than one of the most widely shared family myths known to American genealogical researchers, myths especially prevalent in Warren's home state of Oklahoma, the state with the highest percent of Native Americans in the nation and one where the Cherokee are the largest minority group.
There's no documented proof she is, but neither is there any evidence that she isn't. It's a non story the pubs want to grow legs.

(1,675 posts)It is family legend in our family that our great great grandmother was either Abanaki or Shoshone. I don't have any hard facts to back that up yet (I am working on the family genealogy) so we are in the same boat as Elizabeth Warren! My brother could be accused of the SAME thing! He is being a jack ass!!!!

(47,992 posts)a bunch of people who have absolutely no information and who have run out of the few things they do have to say, so they just say everyone is liar, especially President Obama. They really are just like little ill-tempered children in a fight who think all they have to do is keep repeating the same thing over and over and be the last one to say anything if they can. Remember? "He who speaks last speaks best!" That's the Republicons.

(33,265 posts)but here in WA State: she won't vote for Jay Inslee for Gov because "he doesn't seem to be on the ball" when it comes to "budgets".
she doesn't know it, but she's referring to the 2009 Stimulus bill.
