A Bad Year for Big Labor....

Early in 2012, labor unions began a major political offensive aimed at regaining political initiative after a number of high-profile setbacks in 2010 and 2011. Focusing their efforts in Michigan and Wisconsin, two Midwestern states with strong union bases, their costly efforts to roll back efforts to challenge their power ended up costing them, leaving them worse off than when the year started.

Boston Globe Cites 'Character' in Warren Endorsement. Really?.....

Character?!?

You are a “Professor” earning over $300,000 a year to teach one class at Harvard – Good for you! But I want to be clear…

Don’t demigod us about burying our kids with student debt….you and your husband are part of the problem. Costs spiraled upward from 3-7% for Higher Ed last year depending on your colleges profit or non-profit status. The Governments “take-over” of higher ed financing isn’t costing less as “promised” but more ( surprise! ). Additionally putting more Taxpayer dollars at risk during a Recession.…

Harvard pays it’s Professors, “Associate” Professors, and (Whew! ) “Assistant” Professors far above the median faculty salary.

Is college too expensive…probably.

Is the “payoff” there upon graduation, maybe if you applied yourself, worked on your studies 24/7 and choose a field that PAYS well upon completion?

Nobody forces you to take on that ridiculous debt. It’s a choice, and choices have consequences…namely keeping Elizabeth & her husband employed!

You and your Husband have made money legally “Flipping” Real Estate. – Good for you!

But I want to be clear…

Here you are railing against “predatory” foreclosure and banking behavior, while making money off the exact same thing! Per the Herald & Land records from Warren’s native Oklahoma City:

Purchasing a foreclosed home for $61,000 in June 1993, then selling it in December 1994 for $95,000 — a 56 percent mark-up in just 18 months. Buying a house for $30,000 in August 1993, then flipping it for $145,000 — a 383 percent gain after just five months. Lending one of her brothers’ money at 9.5 percent interest to buy a home for $35,000 in August 2000. He sold the place three months later for $38,500 — a 10 percent gain in 75 days. Providing her brother with financing to buy a $25,000 house. in 1994. He sold the property four years later for $42,000, a 68 percent increase.

That’s naming just a few….I dare say this would go under the title of Hypocrisy Howler….

You are hired by large Corporations to fight their legal battles against their everyday employees, and from what I can tell, you did a great job. Well, Good for you! But I want to be clear…

Don’t tell us your out here to “fight” for the “little guy” because we are getting “hammered”….I’d dare say you are one of the one’s holding that very hammer….

And what of Ms. Warren's character, so praised by the Globe in their endorsement?

The dictionary defines character as "qualities of honesty, courage, or the like; integrity."

When it comes to the truth, Ms. Warren has brazenly lied, doubled down on her lies, and tripled down on her double downs for her entire campaign.

Let's start with her lies about her claims of Native American heritage.

No debate about it, Scott Brown made the right call....

Good for U.S. Sen. Scott Brown. Why should he do the Globe a favor and show up at their fakakta debate?

So he can listen yet again to Granny Warren yapping about the middle class getting “hammered,” and how Brown voted against a bill to produce “jobs” (which in this context means taxes)? How much more nonsense does he have to hear about Roe v. Wade?

Trick or treat indeed.

Union-backed super PAC raises questions from Republicans....

The Mass Values Independent Expenditure PAC will file its financial disclosures on Monday, and they will show that it received $75,000 each from the Massachusetts Teachers Association and the Service Employees International Union Local 1199, as well as $10,000 from SEIU Local 509, and $2,000 from MassEquality, the organization’s spokesman Steve Crawford said.

Despite 54% Graduation Rate, Buffalo Union Officials Campaign for Obama – in Ohio.......

Sara Gordon works for the American Federation of Teachers in Buffalo, and she’s in Ohio as part of an effort to bolster Obama, partly by taking advantage of new rules that allow union members to more aggressively go after non-union voters.”

So what is Gordon leaving behind? Try a 54 percent graduation rate in the Buffalo school district. According to the New York Times, 27 percent of 8th graders pass the K-8 test. A meager total of 40 percent pass the science portion while just 26 percent pass the math portion.
