Political Philosophy: Elizabeth Warren is a Hard-Core Liberal (per OnTheIssues.org)

My biggest deal-breaker? I will NEVER vote for a gun-control candidate in any way, shape or form. This is a Constitutional, 2nd amendment right and shall not be infringed. Other problems I have with her that are big are on Obamacare, Immigration and a binding, Constitutional 'Balanced Budget Amendment' (BBA).

I do understand her appeal to some because she does have several good ideas and supports suppression of NSA domestic spying, but she has too many red flags for me to consider her for my vote in 2016.

That's a no brainer, neither will I.

You're entitled to your deal-breakers. But yours aren't mine. If she runs, she'll probably get my vote.

You should have held back until 2020. She isn't running this time. When she does not only will I vote for her, I'll campaign for her.

She isn't? When did she say that?

👣

I will vote for her when she is an American Indian.

a reply to: butcherguy

She is part Native American. She also never used it to get loans or jobs.

a reply to: BlueMule

Repeatedly over the past year.

a reply to: Kali74

Maybe it's a "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" kinda thing.

a reply to: BlueMule

Who can say for sure... she's literally being begged to run this election lol.

According to you she is at least part native american.
The real story isn't quite that clear.

That's just like, your opinion, man

a reply to: butcherguy

Not just according to me.

a reply to: Kali74

From your link:

In other words, without wading too deeply into ongoing debates within the Native American community, Warren could make a fairly a legitimate claim to the title.

See that?
After being told to discount what the actual Native American community has to say about it....
We are told that Warren 'could' make a fairly legitimate claim.
Interesting wording.
The Delaware and Cherokee deny her claims.
Harvard and the EEOC say that she didn't meet the criteria of her claims.

a reply to: Metallicus

I will be spending my time during the election season writing scathing articles on every DNC and GOP candidate until one can illustrate to me that they do follow the Constitution, the Bill of Rights.

Warren will be easy to write against. I'll just dig up old Palin articles and switch names. But I'll probably be accused of sexism then. lol.

I don't know who I'm going to vote for yet.

But I do know who I WON'T be voting for or endorsing.

a reply to: butcherguy

Oh who cares. Sheesh. Is this gonna end up being another birth certificate fiasco?

👣

If the plan is for her to be Prez, she will be. Your vote will do nothing.

I can't believe how many people still believe their voice is heard.

I'd vote for her regardless of what she stands for that I disagree with for one reason. Like Paul Perot, gravel and kuccinich, she simply isn't BOUGHT! Every other candidate is corporate/big banking/MIC stooge through and through, with not a single bone of support for real citizens. And Hillary will walk us right into ww3.

I know, right? It's not like she's using it as something to stand on and wave around. It's a non-issue for me. It would be one thing if she was running around talking about "her people" and whatnot.

People that elect proven liars to be the POTUS don't care.
