Scott Brown vs. Professor Elizabeth Warren

on Thursday, September 27, 2012
Scott Brown
Elizabeth Warren, the Not-So-Native-American, plucked from complete and utter obscurity to fight Senator Scott Brown for "The People's Seat", is a Dodo Bird.  She's completely unable to fly on her own. A species the likes of which can only be produced in Massachusetts, with a particularly large concentration in the Cambridge region.

The most pathetic candidate I've ever seen run for political office in this state, from either party, is probably the most unqualified do-nothing I've ever seen.  Considering people like Farney Brank, John Oliver and Cadillac Deval run (or have run) this state, that's saying a lot.

Her ads are nothing but uninformed MA residents saying she's "gone up against 'big banks'" and "wall street", fighting for "the little guy" and "opposing tax breaks for millionaires".  Standard empty, buzz-words used simply to get the #ObamaPhone folks to fill the oval next to her name without, they pray, looking at her actual body of work.

A body of work that contains, for example:
  1. Warren says she's a champion of the working man and woman.  However her actions, which we all know speak louder than words, show a much different person.  In 1995, Warren was employed as a lawyer for LTV Steel.  She was taken on to help the company help find a way for them to legally avoid $140 million in retirement benefits to employees. She claims she was trying to protect the bankruptcy system, not do a favor for some unscrupulous "big corporation".  Aren't liberals supposed to hate these "big corporations"?  I know that's one of their buzzwords, so why did she feel so differently about this one?
  2. In her role in Travelers v. Bailey, Warren played a key counsel role and secured $212,000 over three years to represent them. Warren was brought on to ensure Traveler's Insurance didn't pay out on a Supreme Court $500 million trust to victims of asbestos poisoning.  Warren was there to ensure that bankrupt companies couldn't be hit with too many lawsuits if they've filed for bankruptcy. That's really looking out for the small guy, eh?  But here's the kicker, years later she stated the following:
Professor Fauxcahontas
"My heart goes out to the victims of this terrible, terrible disaster. It’s heart-wrenching that there are new victims every year. I think they should be compensated. That’s it for me. That’s what this is all about.’’
As of right now, no asbestos victim has received anything from the settlement. Warren has managed to create and exploit loopholes that have kept the case dragging through the courts.

While the case is still floating around, many families have had to sit by and watch their loved ones die from asbestos poisoning.  Way to fight for the little man, Professor.  To hear her speak about the case, it's like there's two personalities (probably a disorder that would help a candidate get elected in this state).

Please, people of Massachusetts, vote with your brains for once.

    Elizabeth Warren Has Left the Building - Scott Brown Open Letter

    on Tuesday, September 11, 2012
    Last night, Professor Elizabeth Warren addressed the convention in Charlotte, and true to form she attacked all her usual villains - successful people, Republicans, businesspeople, energy companies.  The party activists in the audience loved her speech and I did, too, but for a different reason.  They got excited by her rock-throwing partisanship.  I liked her speech because it lays out clearly the sharp differences between Harvard Law Professor Warren and me.

    Between now and Election Day, I'll be pointing out the sharp differences, but will you help me with the financial resources I will need to deliver my message?

    The Progressive Campaign Committee sees Professor Warren as today's liberal rock star and tomorrow's presidential candidate so they have already raised a quick and cool million dollars for her.  They've even established a new "wing" of the party in her name. It used to be called the extreme-left wing.  Now they call it the "Elizabeth Warren wing."  But that's not where most Massachusetts voters reside.
     
    She'll raise millions more from her star-studded friends, the celebrity chic, and Hollywood crowd who hang on her every word.  They want me gone, but will you help me win through your online generosity.  Will you help right now with a contribution of $150, $75, or $25?
     
    Warren had a lot to say last night, but she didn't bother mentioning the things that have made her most famous.  No mention of how she thinks no one got successful without government.  Nothing about being the self-proclaimed "intellectual founder" of the radical Occupy protests.  And despite speaking at length about her upbringing, there was no mention of the supposed Native American ancestry she claims is so much a part of who she is.

    We have exactly 61 days to deliver our independent, pro-limited government, pro-small business, pro-growth and jobs message across the Commonwealth.  Will you take matters into your own hands by making your online contribution for $100, $50, $25 or more for our TV and radio spots, targeted letters and direct mail?

    I will be grateful because I need your support right now to win.

    Sincerely,
    Scott Brown
    United States Senator
    The People's Seat
