Does Integrity And Honesty Matter In The Senate?

Does it make sense to elect a compromised candidate to the Senate?

Elizabeth Warren the Marxist sounding law professor of Harvard is running for the Senate, but the Senate is probably running from her. Positions of power offer many opportunities for corruption and it is extremely hard for an honest man to resist the temptation. Bringing in a corrupt lawyer who already is compromised in terms of honesty and integrity is a forlorn hope at reestablishing the reputation of the Senate. Will the Senate be jaded enough to accept a new member who has already displayed a lack of integrity, but is willing to break the law at will.

Elizabeth Warren has based her campaign on a mythical premise of intellect and integrity; based on that fact alone, it is remarkable her campaign hasn’t collapsed.

Ms Warren is adept at throwing out Marxist clichés, but she is running for Massachusetts.

Nearly everyone is familiar with her use of unsubstantiated minority status for preferential treatment in gaining a teaching position at Harvard; she has now been caught practicing law without a license in the state of Massachusetts.

Surprisingly, her client list includes the same large corporations she has condemned as greedy polluters and exploiters of the “little guy.”

Elizabeth Warren, the workers’ champion, represented LTV Steel in 1995 in its fight against thousands of retired coal miners. Apparently, her loyalty to the worker doesn’t include her own pockets.

In 2009, the Marist lawyer thought it was prudent to represent the Insurance giant Travelers against asbestos victims. Her willingness to stand up for the oppressed doesn’t include the dying; especially when she can make a buck.

The unsinkable Warren has been bold enough to represent Wall Street clients without a law license through the law firm of Simpson, Thacher, & Bartlett, who is aghast to learn of Warrens licensure discrepancy, since she is listed as “of counsel” in briefs filed on behalf of their corporate clients.

The Culture Of Corruption meme only mattered in 2006 when the media colluded with the DNC to take back the House and Senate.

The President has no integrity and is breaking the law at will - what's another Senator of the same ilk? Evidently, no biggie ..../s

Integrity and honesty matters across the board in a capitalistic, representative republic.

kids, parents employers, employees, all manner of public service ... a society cannot successfully function without integrity and honesty.

I give you taquia ...

I rest my case.

Have no fear Ms Warren, if she is elected will fit right in with that bunch of scoundrels and thieves. In fact she is a piker compared to most, if not all of them.

Give me a break..Integrity and Honesty are foreign concepts to all politicians of both parties running for every office from dog catcher to president.

Anyone believing otherwise is delusional....IMHO

Is that a rhetorical question?

The Democrats of Massachusetts.....

“Yes, we know Lizzy Warren is a liar and a thief, but she’s also stupid and greedy so we think we can take advantage of her.”

The official bird of the Democrat party in Massachusetts is the jailbird.

All that matters:
1. Getting elected
2. Getting reelected

It should...but it’s obvious from the people getting elected to Senate seats that it doesn’t.

Our reps and senators can only reflect the virtue of the people who elect them.
