In Massachusetts: Elizabeth Warren daughter secretly behind effort by Mass to register 500k welfare recipients

◼ it’s about Elizabeth Warren once again rigging the system for her own benefit. - Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion

The news broke today that Massachusetts has taken extraordinary efforts in response to a lawsuit by a former ACORN affiliated, Soros-funded group to register 500,000 welfare recipients to vote (who would have thought there were that many people on welfare considering Mass has only 6.5 million residents).

Republicans cried foul, as this was a transparent attempt to register Warren’s base, while no similar efforts were made to register voters who might be more favorably inclined towards Brown.

Rob Eno of Red Mass Group, however, took the story to an entirely new level by discovering that the group in question is ◼ run by Elizabeth Warren’s daughter:
Elizabeth Warren's daughter Amelia Warren Tyagi is leaving nothing to chance in the 2012 election for her mother. Warren Tyagi, the chair of the George Soros funded Demos Foundation, has bankrolled, through Demos, former members of ACORN in their pursuit to have the Commonwealth's welfare agency perform a voter registration drive. The Boston Herald has the story, although they missed the Warren familial connection.

Scott Brown: Let America Be America Again



◼ New Republican Ad Uses Democrats To Oppose Democrats - Independent Journal

John F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Lyndon B. Johnson, and (Republican) Ronald Reagan tell how they believe a free enterprise system will help businesses succeed, and then you have Barack Obama and Elizabeth Warren just ranting about how the government should be thanked. This web ad could serve to crush Warren in the Senate race and be a very effective ‘guide’ – if you will – for Romney to use in attacking Obama.

With the presidential election getting increasingly negative, Republicans may be well served to feature some Democratic All-Stars in their own ads to make their own points. Can you imagine a Democrat trying to argue JFK’s statement that America should be a place in which “no government bureaucracy can put him out of business that he built up with his own initiative?”

It is pretty clear that Democrats of today aren’t the same as they have been, and they appear to be digging their own graves lately because of that. With quotes like these from Warren and Obama, Republicans will have advertising ammo for quite some time.

Scott Brown pulling ahead in polls

◼ Scott Brown pulling ahead in polls - Washington Post

A Western New England Polling Institute survey taken Feb. 23 to March 1 has Brown beating Warren 49 percent to 41 percent if the election was held today.

It was the third survey in a row showing Brown in the lead. A poll done last week by the consulting firm Opinion Dynamics shows Brown winning 52 percent to 42 percent; a Suffolk University poll in mid-February gave Brown a nine-point lead.

The most recent poll was taken after Brown backed an amendment allowing moral exemptions from prescription coverage (a failed attempt to limit mandatory cost-free birth control coverage) — suggesting that in the short-term, that position has not hurt him.

Republican Sen. Scott Brown holds a decisive lead over Democrat Elizabeth Warren in the race for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts.

◼ Brown Surges in Massachusetts - Wall St. Journal

According to a new Suffolk University/7NEWS (WHDH-Boston) survey, the freshman senator garners 49% of the vote -- nine points ahead of his main Democratic rival. It's the first time a poll put Mr. Brown in the lead since last fall...

The survey suggests there's a reason independent voters favor the Massachusetts senator. And it has to do with the perception of Ms. Warren as a liberal Democrat. When asked what word first came to mind when respondents heard the name Elizabeth Warren, "liberal" was a top reply. On the other hand when asked what came to mind when they heard the name Scott Brown, "independent" and "fair/fair person" were among the top responses.

Vulnerable Lawmakers Rush to Back Bill Banning Congressional Insider Trading

◼ Politically vulnerable lawmakers are lining up as co-sponsors of legislation that would ban congressional insider trading. - Publius/Breitbart's Big Government

A “60 minutes” report earlier this month indicated that members of Congress have been trading stocks based on knowledge gained from their positions, a practice that does not violate the law.
Before the report, a House bill that would outlaw the practice only had nine co-sponsors. In the week following the “60 Minutes” segment, that number jumped to 92. Of the 83 additions, 19 are facing competitive reelection races as defined by the Cook Political Report.
