Elizabeth Warren Nabs Planned Parenthood Endorsement In Massachusetts Senate Race

The Huffington Post | By Leigh Owens | 04/10/2012 3:55 pm

“Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren picked up the endorsement of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the political arm of the reproductive rights group, this week in her race against Republican Sen. Scott Brown for the Massachusetts Senate seat.

It's more good news for Warren, who has so far raised significantly more money than Brown.

The Planned Parenthood Action Fund said their decision to endorse Warren was partly due to Brown’s support of the Blunt Amendment, of which he was a co-sponsor. The amendment would have allowed employers and insurers the right to deny coverage for any procedure that contradicts their moral or religious beliefs.

Warren opposed the failed amendment to the Affordable Care Act, President Barack Obama’s health care reform law.

"Now more than ever, Massachusetts voters want and deserve to be represented in Congress by someone who puts smart policies ahead of political ideologies," said Dianne Luby, president of the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund in Massachusetts, in a statement.

"Elizabeth Warren is that candidate. The battle over birth control coverage gives us a brief preview of the thoughtful approach she will take on both health care and economic issues. If elected to Congress, she will oppose attacks on women's health and do what's best for Massachusetts families."

Despite Warren's fundraising success, she and Brown have remained close in the polls.”.

What this country needs is more Elizabeth Warrens in offices that will promote a return to rational government and respect for statesmen and women. Elected officials that will do their jobs and gain the respect Congress once had among the populace.

It is importamt that we get rid of the radical legislators that have shown they cannot, will not, negotiate anything with another political party and it is the reason that popularity concerning Congress has diminished to signle digits...always a dangerous sign. The blatant corruption of the republicans is becoming gross as they whine about cutting the budget, but were the primary beneficiaries of the 2010 earmarks fiasco which poured money into their respective states...how’s that for cutting the budget.

Elizabeth Warren will make sure that austerity budgeting reaches every portion of our society, not just the middle class, the poor, and the elderly. If I lived in Massachusetts, I would contribute to someone like Warren, and certainly vote for her. We have reached the bottom of the perverbial barrel in Washington statesmen and Elizabeth Warren will be a good start on the long road back to political sanity in this country.

 

an endorsement from the devil.

 

This is patently false. You may not like Brown and wish to oust him, but he has broke ranks with the GOP and voted with the Democrats. This idea that he will not negotiate is unfounded. Unfortunately, some people are caught up in rhetoric rather than reality. Additionally, earmark spending is problematic, but certainly not a driver behind our debt.

 

a common anomaly: u sed: " This is patently false. You may not like Brown and wish to oust him, but he has broke ranks with the GOP and voted with the Democrats. This idea that he will not negotiate is unfounded. Unfortunately, some people are caught up in rhetoric rather than reality. Additionally, earmark spending is problematic, but certainly not a driver behind our debt."
....
Sorry, if you read his resume' you would see that he is mentored by the most radical Tea Party Express, is totally unsuited for Congress. He is afraid of being voted out of Congress and is merely trying to save his job, like may others who do not fit the new Congressional image.

 

What I said is true. Brown has broke ranks with the GOP and worked with the Democrats, therefore refuting your thesis he is unwilling to negotiate and work with others outside of his own party. Brown is one of the most bipartisan politicians in Congress and has pissed off the tea party plenty.

Seriously, do you live in fantasy land? Your portrayal of Brown being this divisive, radical tea partier is so bereft from reality that is scary.

 

Elizabeth Warren Nabs Planned Parenthood Endorsement In Massachusetts Senate Race

Was there any doubt they wouldn't support this idiot?

 

Why would you refer to Elizabeth Warren as an "idiot"? Don't you think that is taking irrational partisan vitriol a little bit too far?

best high school debater in Oklahoma.... graduate of the University of Houston, Rutgers Law Review Editor.....Harvard Law Professor...acknowledged authority on bankruptcy law.... if that is you definition of an "idiot", that must mean that you rank yourself intellectually somewhere on par with a stalk of asparagus.

 

She's an excellent candidate. The Republican establishment won't know what hit them when this lady is voted into office.

 

toddwv; Shouldn't you be more concerned about the end results, when their is nobody left to pay for Socialism? In the not to distant future, their will be nowhere for the US Government to borrow the money, forget about the desire to practice medicine. Maybe we can go back to dentist being the main source for medical attention. Today unfunded US obligations, WITHOUT the new program is nearing 120T$!!!

Agent, maybe we should just let the President pick our representatives and quit bothering the voters with these meaningless elections. Trash the constitution and let Ms. Warren, write one for us. After all if the poor are responsible for making the wealthy, wealthy, then she could easily make us all wealthy, ask those still surviving in Cuba, Venezuela or may 100 places that are tried socialism or as said European Style Socialism. Their changing back and you for some reason, want your descendents to pay for your freebies. Now that's the essence of AMERICAN, right???

 

simple question for bluesguy or any other rightie out there who thinks that Elizabeth Warren is an idiot:

 

Can't say this endorsement was somewhat of a surprise. PP backs the candidate they think will keep their gravy train running.

 

No, she's an idiot

I say again:

 

She maybe educated but that does not mean she has what it takes to run for office , I really do not see her crossing the aisle , my problem with my friends on the left is when they say cross the aisle they mean the right has to cross because of course they are never wrong

 

When it comes to real life and real economics and business some of the most educated people in the country are some of the most idiotic.

 

I say again, just listen to her idiotic statements showing her ignorance of how business works and who pays for roads and infrastructure and education and yes even police and security.

Else she is smart and just thinks you are idiot enough to believe that garbage she was spouting.

 

are you suggesting that factory owners have paid in full for the education of all of their employees, that they have paid in full for every road that their trucks use to take their products to market, that they have paid in full for the relative security that our armed forces provide businesses in America? No tapdancing... a simple yes or no answer will suffice.

 

Crossing the aisle in Congressional politics is rare. Whips ensure that Senators and Representatives vote on party lines. If they do not, they are not considered for their intended committee assignments. It is a legal form of extortion, simply because it is politics.

 

i guess that idiot is unaware that factories pay taxes too.

 

look where that's gotten us-record unemployment, record debt, and the weakest "recovery" on record.

 

Yes, so lets pass the torch to another Harvard grad, Mitt Romney. Insanity is making the same mistake over and over again. The electorate seems to do such by constantly voting for questionable Ivy League elites.

 

Warren has nabbed the PP endorsement. LOL. I wouldn't expect any different.

I don't know if you're aware of this but most of America doesn't view that as a good thing.

 

No and they are not obligated to pay for the full education of their employees unless their employees are slaves. What they do do is pay a LOT of local and state taxes that pay for education, employ and pay lots of employees who then buy homes who then pay property taxes that pay for education, and also train a lot of those citizens.

Well if they were they only one allowed to use that road then they might be obligated to do so, but they do do is pay LOTS of fuel taxes which go to build those roads and LOTS of excise taxes on the tires that run on those roads, and LOTS of taxes on the trucks themselves that go to pay for those roads.

No and neither are they obliged to, what they do do is pay for their own private security, pay all those taxes we already talked about to the state and local governments for police protection and pay lots of federal corporate taxes that fund national defense.

So did you have a salient argument to make other than this fallacious one that every factory has to fund the entire education of everyone they hire, the entire road system their turcks use, that they don't pay for their security now, and the entire military budget?

OH I don't think so I will take the liberty to elaborate and be specific as necessary especially when the question is misframed to begin with.

 

A very very very successful Harvard grad who knows what it takes for business to be successful and grow the economy creating jobs.
