Default Elizabeth Warren fought for steel company to avoid paying health and pension benefits

Miner: Elizabeth Warren’s biz ‘hypocritical’ - BostonHerald.com

Quote:
Democrat Elizabeth Warren, who has made fighting for workers a focus of her Senate campaign, was a hired legal gun for a steel conglomerate trying to dodge paying health and pension benefits to thousands of retired coal miners, records show.

Warren represented LTV Steel in 1995, when she was a Harvard Law professor, aiding the bankrupt company’s bid to overturn a court ruling forcing it to pay its former employees and dependents $140 million in retirement benefits
Let's not forget.... She supports a womens's right to choose.
So does Scott Brown..... Why does this fraud, hang her hat on that?
Because she brings nothing else to the table.

Only in Massachusetts would this women still be in the race.

As Warren herself has pointed out, women's rights (and other rights) are threatened if the Republicans get a majority in the Senate. When Brown votes with the Democrats it's usually on votes that will pass with or without his vote. He's not a reliable supporter of Democratic principles.

On issues like this, Warren claims her concern was to fight against efforts to weaken bankruptcy laws that protected the middle class and small business. Regardless, on consumer rights, workers rights, women's rights, gay rights, and civil rights, Warren is significantly better than Brown.

The strange thing about this state, too, is that it has a hard time electing women. I think Shannon O'Brien and Jane Swift were attacked unfairly, and I heard at least one criticism of Warren's "smirk." I think it's about time this state elected a woman, and overall Warren is quite good.

Only is a state like Massachusetts would a namby-pamby fraud like Brown still be in the race. The Republicans are so desperate to carry this state that they sell out their principles and nominate someone like Brown.

As far as Warren's hypocrisy, which you apparently are pointing out, then how do you feel about Romney's flipflops. Bet you can't stand the guy.

Warren is a carpet bagger sent in by the national dem machine.

Scott is a born and bred Ma. guy with an open book past that has earned his way up as a REPUBLICAN in Ma. through the ranks. He understands Massachusetts because he is Massachusetts.

For those that still live here in the state,he is one of us.
He has voted in a bipartisan way in the senate. He has only two years in the senate and has earned a full term.

He put forward a bill that would stop congress from insider trading based on bills being passed.That a common person would go to jail over.
That something John Kerry or Ted Kennedy never did with with about 60 years combined in the senate.

Forget about Warren, what about Romney!

Scott Brown was the deciding vote on Dodd Frank financial reform bill. A bill btw, that passed, but isn't even completely written yet. Only in Washington.

She is the ultimate fraud hypocrite. Rails against a rigged system, yet she claimed to be an indian to advance her career. She talks up home owners suffering from the mortgage crisis, yet she flipped foreclosed home for profit. She claims to be against the corporate machine, and big business, yet she defends them in court against the middle class she swears to defend. She preaches about education, and the cost of student loans, yet she gets paid $365k to teach one class. What a complete and utter FRAUD.

The Occupy folks should be protesting uptown at Columbia instead of on Wall Street if they are miffed about the cost of college. Is tuition set by some secret group of investment bankers of which I am not aware? It's a dumb argument, which is why it seems to resonate.

My big thing with the OWS crowd was in many ways just that. I felt their pain and frustration, as many likely did, but they didn't target the right people. To me it was a missed opportunity, and once they were hijacked, or became overrun by the purple hair dying anarchists, it was over. Had they targeted Wall St, and the universities that charge them $30-60k per year, as well as the government that grossly wastes their money, then they'd have gained popular support imo. They didn't do that though. An opportunity truly wasted.

Your right, I do not like Romney and I will not be voting for him.

Now back to Warren.....

The women is a complete fraud, but unfortunately people like you will vote
for her just because she is a democrat.
