Warren's fighting chance?
lowell sun ^ | 4/30/2014 | Peter Lucas

There ought to be a law prohibiting Massachusetts politicians from writing books that few people actually read, especially when they write them on company time.

Nevertheless, the politicians still make money on these quickie books, thanks to outrageous advances from publishers.

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, now being feted by crazed liberals as the possible next president of the United States, is only the latest example of a politician seeking to cash in on her newfound fame.

Gov. Deval Patrick did it, getting a $1.3 million advance for his book. Former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown followed suit with a book of his own. He got an advance of $700,000

Princess Rising Star? What the hell has she ever done to rise in American politics other than being a white “woman of color” with a Indian cookbook?

Nope. She’s just a leftist tool to make Hitlery appear centrist.

Is there any way we can give Massachusetts back to England?

Will you allow me time to get my affairs in order, pack up my family and leave for a better state?

She would give Hillary! real problems in a primary...Warren may be a leftist tool, but have you checked out who votes in a Democratic primary? Answer: Leftist tools. Even if Hillary! wins the primary: 1) she will have to spend money win, 2) Will be attacked by a Leftist icon, supressing the Leftist tool vote in the general, and 3) actually have to focus on winning the primary rather than spending all her time blaming Bush for Obama’s failures...

Well, if you can believe some of what we hear, there is a core group of liberals who do not like the Clintons. To them, Hillary is not liberal enough. Many of these radical liberal types love Elizabeth Warren. I’m not sure why, don’t know what Warren has done in her career to be a liberal darling, or what she has done to qualify her to be president.

Come on down to the Missouri Ozarks.
Low taxes, low cost of living. Deer and turkey, year round fishing, shoot your gun.
Did I mention low taxes ?

If all of you Massachusetts conservatives, Maine conservatives, - hell, New England conservatives - pack up and move to Pennsylvania, we can start pushing the libs out of here and become Fortress PA, a bastion of solid conservatism, gun rights, and sanity right in the heart of liberal moonbattery.

Think about it!!!

"U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, now being feted by crazed liberals as the possible next president of the United States...

In an 1838 address before the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois, Abraham Lincoln stated "...As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." It would appear he was indeed correct. Ever since the 2008 election, it has become quite evident the republic has chosen suicide.

Why waste a perfectly good, and beautiful state? Instead of giving the land back, just send all the lefty statists back. Then you can include the JBTs in Connecticut, the corrupt in RI, and the socialists up in VT.

I hear you... I’m not one for giving up either.

BUT... think of it more as a tactical withdrawal to a stronger position, where you’d be surrounded by friends, instead of psychotic, foaming-at-the-mouth lib lunatics.

To the tune of M.T.A. by the Kingston Trio:

Lizzie Warren took an axe
And gave her grandma forty whacks.
And when she saw the job she’d done
She gave her mother forty one.

These are the times that try men’s souls.
In the course of our nation’s history,
the people of Boston have rallied Bravely
whenever the rights of minorities have been threatened.
Today, a new crisis has arisen.

The Massachussets Republican Party,
better known as the M.R.P.,
Is attempting to destroy the career of a citizen of Boston
By exposing the lies she has told to unfairly game the system.
Citizens, hear me out! This could happen to you!

Well, let me tell you of the story of a liar named Lizzie and her tragic and fateful ways.
She lied she was a minority, a maiden of the Cherokee, and wants to be President of the USA

Well, did she ever repent? No, she’ll never repent and her fate is still unlearned.
What a pity! (Poor ole Lizzie.)
She’ll be shamed forever on the streets of Boston. She’s the gal who never did learn.

Lizzie lied about her heritage, she lied about her license, but she still made the people pay
When she got caught the people told her “No more lying!” but Lizzie couldn’t change her ways

Now, all night long Lizzie talks on the TV crying, “What will become of me?!!
How can I afford to find my Cherokee grandma if you don’t vote for me?”

Lizzie still goes down to the Square in Cambridge every day at quarter past two
She jumps up on her soapbox and spins her stories as the crowd comes rumblin’ through.

Now, you citizens of Boston, don’t you think it’s a scandal how the Republicans have told the truth?
Fight the Bitter Clingers - Vote for Lizzie Warren! Get poor Lizzie off to Washington, DC!

Or she’ll be shamed forever on the streets of Boston.
She’s the gal who never did learn.
She’s the gal who never did learn.
