Elizabeth Warren Admits Listing Herself As Native American At Harvard, Penn

Conservatives are well aware that white liberals love to use black people to foster and push their corrupt, anti-God, social agenda--it's a tactic that's worked well for the Left for decades now and black liberals continue to let them get away with it. But a rising white liberal attempting to use another minority, say Native Americans, to get ahead in life? Well, let's just say that when it comes to getting used, the Natives don't play that:

Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren acknowledged for the first time late Wednesday night that she told Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania that she was Native American, but she continued to insist that race played no role in her recruitment.
 

“At some point after I was hired by them, I . . . provided that information to the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard,’’ she said in a statement issued by her campaign. “My Native American heritage is part of who I am, I’m proud of it and I have been open about it.’’
 

Warren’s statement is her first acknowledgment that she identified herself as Native American to the Ivy League schools. While she has said she identified herself as a minority in a legal directory, she has carefully avoided any suggestion during the last month that she took further actions to promote her purported heritage.
 

When the issue first surfaced last month, Warren said she only learned Harvard was claiming her as a minority when she read it in the Boston Herald.

Warren’s new statement came after the Globe asked her campaign about documents it obtained Wednesday from Harvard’s library showing that the university’s law school began reporting a Native American female professor in federal statistics for the 1992-93 school year, the first year Warren worked at Harvard, as a visiting professor.

A campaign official said they had no records indicating that she had informed Harvard of Native American heritage that year.
 

The official further said that Warren had been unable to answer questions about the issue before now because she had forgotten many of the details and had asked her campaign to thoroughly review the evidence. The campaign declined to say whether Warren provided the information to Harvard and Penn verbally or by checking a box on a form.

The Harvard records do not list a Native American during the years Warren returned to her post at the University of Pennsylvania, but begin to list one in 1995-96, when she returned to Cambridge as a tenured professor.

Liberal Massachusetts Joins Effort To Bypass Electoral College

More revenge for Bush vs. Gore 2000:

The state Legislature is poised to give final approval this week to a new law intended to bypass the Electoral College system and ensure that the winner of the presidential election is determined by the national popular vote.

Both the House and Senate have approved the National Popular Vote bill. Final enactment votes are needed in both chambers, however, before the bill goes to the governor's desk, the Globe reported last week.

Governor Deval Patrick's press office didn't immediately return a message this morning seeking comment on whether he would sign the bill, if it makes its way to his desk. 

Under the proposed law, all 12 of the state's electoral votes would be awarded to the candidate who receives the most votes nationally. 

Supporters are waging a state-by-state campaign to try to get such bills enacted. Once states possessing a majority of the electoral votes (or 270 of 538) have enacted the laws, the candidate winning the most votes nationally would be assured a majority of the Electoral College votes, no matter how the other states vote and how their electoral votes are distributed.

Illinois, New Jersey, Hawaii, Maryland, and Washington have already adopted the legislation, according to the National Popular Vote campaign's website.

Supporters of the change say that the current Electoral College system is confusing and causes candidates to focus unduly on a handful of battleground states. 

Critics say the current system is not broken. They also point to the disturbing scenario that Candidate X wins nationally, but Candidate Y has won in Massachusetts. In that case, all of the state's 12 electoral votes would go to Candidate X, the candidate who was not supported by Massachusetts voters.

The measure passed both branches of the Legislature in 2008 but did not make it all the way through the process.

Far-Left Governor Deval Patrick Provides Sanctuary For Illegal Immigrant Involved With Car Crash

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick is so far Left that he makes Barry look like a centrist (any wonder him and Barry are good pals going back to their days in Chicago). Recently Patrick smeared Republicans who criticize Obama as "almost at the level of sedition", he supports homosexual marriage (no wonder he readily accepted his own daughter's "coming out" party), embryonic stem-cell research and even reversed a decision by previous Governor Mitt Romney allowing police officers to arrest and detain any illegal immigrant found during investigations into matters related to immigration:

A car crash involving a state lawmaker and a suspected illegal immigrant has now landed in the middle of the 2010 governor's race.

Republican Charlie Baker today told FOX25 that the Incident should convince Gov. Patrick to reverse a 2007 order stripping state police's immigration enforcement powers.

Patrick just told FOX25 he stands by his 2007 order and accused Baker of playing politics.

State Rep. Mike Moran of Brighton was rear-ended by a suspected illegal immigrant last week. The suspect was wearing a Mexican costume at the time of the crash where he slammed into Moran at 60 mph.

The suspect, 27-year-old Isaias Naranjo, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, leaving the scene of an accident and driving without a valid license. According to the report, when told of the serious charges he would be facing, he just laughed.

But because of action taken by Gov. Deval Patrick, state police were unable to notify immigration authorities that Naranjo might be illegal.

This radical, far-Left loon is up for re-election this year and despite a 45% approval rating, is still leading the race by a wide margin. Weird that voters in the same state that gave us Scott Brown's epic upset win would want to continue putting up with the likes of Patrick, a man who puts ideologue first and what's best for his state a distant second.

Curt Schilling For Ted Kennedy's Seat?

AP:

Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling said Thursday the chances of him running to replace Democrat Edward M. Kennedy in the U.S. Senate are "slim to none" but he will not rule it out.

The three-time World Series champion said he retired from baseball in March to spare his family the downside of the public spotlight. He has also invested millions in his fledgling video-gaming business, 38 Studios.

Yet the 42-year-old told a Boston radio station that Massachusetts is in "desperate" need of fresh political blood.

"This state, next to Illinois, is probably looked on as one of the most corrupt, laughable political scenes in the nation, and it should be just the opposite," he said during one of his regular appearances on WEEI-AM, a sports radio station. "I think there's so much broke here, that the fixing piece, I don't think you'd have to look very hard to pick up the pieces of debris and start to reform and fix it."

While Schilling has never run for or held political office, he said it's an asset because he's unencumbered by special interest connections.

"My credentials are that I have no baggage," he said.

During his baseball career Curt Schilling was well-known for being a big game pitcher who often spoke out of both sides of his mouth. So who knows how serious he is about going after Kennedy's chair. But one thing's certain: Curt Schilling is hella popular in Massachusetts and he or just about anybody would be a better replacement for Ted Kennedy than any choice made by woefully incompetent Kennedy groupie and radically-Left Gov. Deval Patrick.
