Apparently, a lot of voters believe Scott Brown’s false claim of independence. They should check his actual voting record which is solidly Republican on economic issues.

Brown has repeatedly voted against bills to create and preserve thousands of jobs in Massachusetts. Scott voted to filibuster the American Jobs Act  The legislation would have created 1.9 million jobs nationwide, including 11,100 Massachusetts jobs in transportation infrastructure work and up to 4,900 in school construction. It is estimated that the unemployment rate would be 7%.

The bill’s benefits would have been fully paid for by imposing a 5.6 percent  surtax on modified adjusted gross incomes over $1 million. That tax would affect only a fraction of one percent of all Massachusetts taxpayers, people whose average annual income is $2.2 million a year. (from Rethink Brown)

In contrast, Elizabeth says that today’s jobs numbers have some good news for workers, but we need to do more. She says we are creating jobs now, but we should be looking for how we can get more people back to work and lay the foundation for future growth.   Her promise is to fight for middle class families every  day.

No surprise here. NOBODY likes a box checker who takes advantage of the system. Ancestry has NOTHING to do with it. It's called fair play. Professor Warren was deceitful and will pay bigtime on Novemver 6. Back to Harvuud on November 7.

Is there any reason to believe any one of these dozens of reported polls? What happened to the Western New England College poll reported late last week?  Who remembers which candidates were reported?  Is the WBUR poll any different than the University of New Hampshire poll or the Boston Herald poll. And if Brown is shown leading by only 46.5 will be he within or without the 4.4 percent error margin? And does that make him leading, tied with or trailing Professor Lizzy? And were these polls taken before or after the days' dinner hour - in other words, while folks were relaxed and willing to talk to some ditz telephoning with silly political questions?

And if I thought I could trust a poll quoted by the Boston Globe any farther than I can throw one, this would be exciting...  On the other hand, this must mean Brown is ahead by more than ten points...

She really has a hard time w/ telling a straight story. Is this what we need in Washington?

her role in Cajun Electric, as it appeared on the website for The Boston Globe. The description is:

In re Cajun Electric Power Cooperative, 150 F.3d 503 (5th Cir. 1998), cert. denied sub nom Mabey v. Southwestern Electric Power Co., 119 S.Ct. 2019 (1999). In this case, Elizabeth represented a company that offered a plan to help save a bankrupt rural power cooperative. The company also helped defray litigation costs for some members of the cooperative. Elizabeth sought to preserve the plan to save the company, and the Fifth Circuit ruled in favor of Elizabeth’s position.

So in short: Warren characterizes herself as working to save a rural electric cooperative, when she did no such thing. Her client was a large power company that wanted to liquidate the cooperative, not to save it, in order to acquire its prime asset, a large coal-powered electric plant.

So how to break the logjam caused by these polls.  In essence we have a very close race.  This latest poll has a margin of error of 4.7% with Brown ahead by 4.  Again a virtual tie.   It is time to clarify stands on issues, something our media has chosen to avoid.  It would be very helpful to see who falls in line with our intuitive selves, i.e. what our political beliefs are.  Yes some Democratic voters are attracted to Republicans and vice versa.  The labeling of our political affiliation only should come after who most closely adheres to our interests.  After all 54% of the Massachusetts voting population is unenrolled.  T notice that pure reasoning seems not to be working because of the entrenchment of our world views.  They are too powerful to shake.  So tonight is another debate.  Let's all tune in and hopefully the moderator will provide a sharper picture how each candidate will cast their votes and how each will define their legislative goals.  Then let the chips fall where they may.  With two people who meet our constitutional requirements for the office of Senator it is important to figure out which one is aligned with our life experience.  It is not a matter of Republican or Democrat but who is going to work for what matters most to us. If you are unaware of what they stand for even after the debate I respectfully sugest going to each of their websites.  For Senator Brown his voting record is also available at votesmart.org, a straightforward reporting site with no political sponsorship. I did my homework and investigated both websites and examinied Scott Brown's voting record.  I will vote for Elizabeth Warren. Her candidacy is focused on making working families' lives more livable and has the expertise and proven leadership to get things done.  She is clearly energized to make this a more prosperous, more secure nation. Her sense of government's role is in sync with my beliefs that government relieves suffering not being done otherwise, properly uses our resources to be safe at home and abroad, and provides public infrasture and education to help business grow.  I do not believe government should be a significant job maker since it is ill equipped to do that.  I do believe that businesses should just work for their own interest but also to improve the lot of others, a positive sum versus a zero sum game.  It would probably make them even richer but the pie would be much larger.

I find one thing ironic about this race. When John Kerry ran for President it became clear he had not authored ONE piece of legislation. He just votes lock step w/ the Dems. Here you have Brown, who has tried to be bipartisanship, something the left says they want (but not really, only when they vote for their cause) and in 2 years he has actually gotten some things done, an accomplishment given a new Senator. You keep voting for Kerry, who has done very little, but hate Brown who has actually worked for the state and willing to vote for Warren, who has no background of bipartisanship or record.

Sorry, but Brown will never stand up to the national Republicans because he AGREES with them. He is McConnel, Cantor, Inhofe and all the others. Never forget his Tea Party roots and Rhetoric. We would never elct any of those guys in Massachusetts yet we'll let THEM set the agenda in DC? Please!

Ooooppps.....here is another example of Prof. Warren's inability to be transparent and truthful......this goes back to her compensation as the chairperson of the congressional committe overseeing the TARP program......
