My ex was part Penobscot . That's a fact . It appears your heritage is also a fact . See the difference between fact and a hunch ? Writing down that you were a Native American, on a hunch, in a situation that even an idiot would know could benifit you , doesn't speak well of your moral character.
That's a fact !

I'm confident that I have a stronger claim to Cherokee heritage than Spinning Bull and Liawatha combined...my Mamaw and Papaw both had very high cheek bones...I won't pretend to be offended or presume to speak for my people...but what she did is absurd and defending it is even more absurd she beat Scott Brown because, despite repeated claims to the contrary and given the option, the democrat voters of this area are far more comfortable with a whack job leftist democrat than a reasonable centrist republican over the long term... just make a list of the congress people and senators representing this region...it's not pretty

maybe I missed it but was someone suggesting she run for president?

You're making an assumption she did it for gain. Considering the strength of her resume at the time she didn't need to at all. Nor is there evidence she received any gain from it.

As for her not remembering, if somebody asks you something you didn't think was significant that happened 15 years prior, would you recall right away?

you sure are running a lot of nonsense up the totem pole if she had an "R" after her name she'd have been eviscerated for this and I'm not sure that many here would have defended her....imagine the fun saturday nite live and jon stewart would have had with it....

Just for giggles...why did she claim to be white when applying for a job in Texas, and Native American when she applied for a job in New England? Interesting, no?

This is quite the Senate delegation we have here in New England. Princess Fauxahontus from Mass, and in CT, Richard Blumenthal, the man who single-handedly defeated the Viet Cong during the Tet Offensive, and if I remember my military history correctly, I believe he was also the hero of the Chosin Reservoir, the Battle of the Bulge, Gettysburg, Lexington, and even Thermopalye.

With her high cheek bones and claim to being indian in New England could lead her to monetary gain if she claims to be from a tribe that owns casino's...they do split the profits.

The Cherokee tribe she thought she was a part of doesn't profit share from gambling, but I believe they do give preference if you want to work at a casino. For an adult with means there aren't any real financial benefits. Perhaps you could get a little scholarship money for a kid once they were admitted.

I believe most tribes that do share casino earning have a blood requirement that's pretty high. The Cherokee tribe will admit anyone that can prove lineage...

Spence, a liberal, Ivy League school, when pooling through applicants for a cushy professor job, might give a nod to a member of a minority. Are you going to deny that with a straight face? Her university actually had her listed as a Native American, that's how the story broke.

Here's more evidence she's lying. When she ran for the Senate, the Republicans started accusing her of lying. She was in a close race. If she had evidence she was telling he truth, it stands to reason she would release it during the campaign, to silence those accusing her of lying.

For example, on another thread, you stated that Canada's rate of gun ownership is not high. I had the facts to prove you wrong, and I posted those facts with quite a lot of glee. I didn't sit there and let you continue to say I was wrong about Canada's gun ownership.

Why would she let them continue to call her a liar, especially if she wanted to win the election, if she could prove she was telling the truth? It makes no sense.

So it's OK for your people to discriminate?

I'd think of it as more of a settlement than discrimination. It's legal...

A lie is a lie is a lie, period.
If a person can't be trusted in little things they can't be trusted in big things.
That goes for Hillary as well.
