GLTHS is one of the best school of all. Keep up the great work. All are proud of the many achievements you all have accomplished. The staff all work their hardest to improve each child to succeed. Thank you for keeping my child encouraged to continue to move foward with great interest.

really, you drift from the subject, just like Granny Warren. Nauseating.

Classic conservative case of trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Elizabeth Warren is a fine Democrat and will make a great US Senator. I'll rely on the recent polls cited here for objectivity.
If soon to be Senator Warren should resign for " lying" on an application checkoff 30 years ago, what would you suggested we do with Bush and Cheney lying about WMDs, attacking the wrong country , fighting the longest war in US history for nothing, setting up Powell to lie before the United Nations,spending 1 trillion taxpayer money, causing 100,000 casualties, multi-billions in hospital care, disability benefits, and about 4600 military deaths, all put on the Republican charge card for future generations to pay?

Like I say. A mole hill. Shows the hypocrisy, doesn't it. Let's spend some time discussing whether Obama is a Muslim or not, and went to the wrong Christian church for 20 years. Must have the Koran tucked under his bed. So if Obama is a Muslim, then is he a Sunni or Shiite?

Here is the real issue: THE TRUTH.

For longer than most now alive can remember, Mass Voters have sent a series of phonies, liars, cheats, tax evaders, pedophiles, and murders to serve in Congress.

They served - themselves.

And the voters faithfully sent them back to do more.

Now comes Ms. Warren - 1/32nd Cherokee - who wants her seat at the trough - and promises to do Obama’s bidding. Are we not entitled to a factual resume?

It would have been SO nice if we’d had a FACTUAL RESUME from Obama in 2008 - instead of Dreams From My Father - written by Ayers.

By asking for Ms. Warren’s bio - her real one - maybe Mass voters are starting to show a little maturity, and a little less herd mentality.

VOS: BigB75 corrected the academic attendance on both sides. Interesting, however, how you duck the other more poignant aspects mentioned as usual. Avoid the main focus and comment only on the picayune. You avoid the check off "white" on other applications and Harvard admissions verifying that she was hired solely on her qualifications. Facts are indeed stubborn things , not to interfere with the myopic brainwash. Con artists rather concentrate on Kerry's Vietnam metals, Obama's birth place and faculty application checkoff made 30 years ago, Reverend Wright- nonsense like that. Talk about petty. The American people are not fooled.
The Sun today: " Who is an American Indian?"puts the issue to rest for the majority of objective people.

Indeed they are...

Elizabeth Warren attended George Washington University for 2 years, not Georgetown, before leaving to get married. She then attended the University of Houston and received a degree in speech pathology. She later attended Rutgers where she received her law degree.

Fact checking, or a lack thereof, is...apparently...not just a weakness of the left.

FACT CHECKING has long been your shortfall Ultra.

She went to Georgetown, finished at University of Houston, and upon moving to New Jersey - enrolled at Rutgers School of Law.

Facts are…such stubborn things!

The above comment that " she used it to get into schools and jobs..." is absolutely false with no basis in fact. . Scurrelous inuendo. To get into college at Texas University and Pennsylvania Law School, her race was indicated as " white". So no college entrance advantage. As to the faculty appointment, Harvard released her application and the admitting faculty at the time stated for the record that Elizabeth Warren was hired because of her qualifications, nothing else, no low grade, low performance affirmative action at all. But the righties, just like the birthers , want to remain ignorant , solely for political reasons, a Karl Rove politically biased approach to life .
Now onto the real campaign issues

You’re dead on about our Mass Voters Cricket.

They are so pre-conditioned to vote for murderers, liars, frauds, cheaters, tax-dodgers, and phonies, - many of them think that having a personal or ethical scandal is a requirement of the Democratic Party for office-seekers.

>> ‘Warren is a highly regarded academic with a spotless reputation’

John, you write like a member of her campaign staff.

SPOTLESS? If you were somehow unaware, she is an ATTORNEY. Attorneys have a higher standard of veracity in what they say and write.

She appears to have retold the same [fib-lie-folklore] for decades. WORSE - she used it to get into schools and jobs she might not have qualified for.

AND, by doing so, - denied real Indians a shot.

We can only see the SPOTS - and they’re not attractive.

Thank you, Gerry; great letter!

She should be fired however, Haavard will do no such thing; she should also withdraw from the Senate race, but we know that won't happen, either.

A recent poll I read reported something like 52% of voters don't care about this issue. That alone tells you a bit about why we're in the mess we're in; it looks as if it's OK for a fraud to be your Senator.

Sad.

Jojn, attacking a liar and a fraud is fair game. Warren could've made this all go away by fessing up but instead, she continues to lie and perpetuate that lie.

She should crawl back into her hole in academia and become nothing more than a sidenote in the history books.

Michael Goldman states the Martin/Zimmerman case is closed if only Zimmerman "..stays in his car." ? Wrong, Zimmerman was ALREADY OUT of the car when he called the police. Facts indicate that Trayvon Martin doubled back to get in Zimmerman's face (easy to do when you are 6 foot 2 and the person you are going after is 5 foot 7) . In Goldman's liberal world Zimmerman should remain in his car in his own neighborhood? Zimmerman's big mistake was getting out of his car 110 feet from where he lives? Sure. The Goldmans of the world would never suggest Trayvon Martin just keep on walking. In this world if you think someone has been walking behind you the thing to do is turn around and fight them? Even Jesse Jackson has stated that when he sees a young black male walking toward him at night he crosses the street to avoid trouble. Try this one: If Trayvon Martin kept walking it is case closed. Goldman also suggests we thank Gov. Patrick for not investing in Curt Schillings failed company. Goldman makes no mention of the Evergreen Solar boondoggle at Devens that Patrick forced down the state's throat and it lost many millions of dollars. Mr. Goldman should we thank Deval Patrick for Evergreen? The rest of Goldman's weekly liberal spew is missing a couple of very timely topics. Where is the spirited defense of Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren? Where is Goldman's defense of his one time heart-throb John Edwards who has been charged with diverting campaign funds to be used as hush money for the pregnant mistress carrying Edward's illegitimate child? Affairs of the heart are too short and Michael Goldman once LOVED little John Edwards. Case closed.

THIS IS NO GREAT BARGAIN. I MOVED TO TEXAS WHEN I WAS 62 AND WHEN I TURNED 65 MY SCHOOL TAXES ARE FROZEN AND CAN NEVER GO UP EVEN IF MY HOME VALUE GOES UP. MY COUNTY TAXES WERE REDUCED 90% AND THERE IS NO INCOME TAXES. THE ONLY TAX IS SALES TAX WHICH IS 7.5% ON EVERYTHING. IN THE LONG RUN ITS CHEAPER TO LIVE HERE THEN IN TAXACHUSETTS. WOULDN'T MOVE BACK TO MASSACHUSETTS FOR ANY REASON.

Absolutely. Now if the President would push Both Parties to work together in a bipartisan way to change the tax code they have both created to make all corporations pay some tax and incentivize them to keep jobs here. Perhaps his economic advisor, Immelt, could help

Education in the United States has been a major failure. Our country invests more and ask less from the teachers than any country in the world. The teachers unions will never embrace any change that could actually improve our children education. They are a bunch of greedy people that only care about getting more money, everything else is of little concern.

Of course Romney suggestions on how to improve education will go nowhere with the unions, they are a bunch of sleezebags that screw our kids and drain our wallets.

The really sad thing is there are many great teachers that are being screwed by the unions, what a shame.

we get what we deserve and poor education is the main goal of the greedy unions!

It's always the other states' facilities that should be phased out. Do you think Brown would suggest close it even if it were warranted? Politics as usual.
