I am very tired of all the mailer cards, especially from Elizabeth Warren and Tierney. My kids now say "Warren and Tierney are litterbugs" because at least a few days a week, we find her ad cards on our steps and/or walkway; her supporters don't even bother to tuck into door or handle. As if I don't have enough to clean up with all the broken tree limbs & leaves. Most of the time, I will see an ad with Scott Brown's picture on it and I won't even know by a quick glance if it is an ad for or against him, until I determine whether the card was actually put in my mailbox or thrown onto my property. Many of ads for Warren actually feature pretty nice pictures of Scott Brown! I have never received a Tisei or Brown ad anywhere but in my mailbox. Have not received a single ad from either Romney or Obama that I can recall - does that mean one of them has conceded our state to the other?

Am glad we have an unlisted home # and have not received robocalls from anyone--yet.

Finegold and Tierney are the 2 worst for me!

Warren and Tierney. What a waste of money. I haven't read one. All go right into the rubbish.

Warren by far - if she wanted my vote she shouldn't have resorted to basically what I consider harrassment...phone call after phone call & mailer's gallore - disgusting.

The phone calls are killing me. I work from home full-time, so I am constantly being interrupted with my home phone ringing throughout the day. I have received calls from Bill Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Scott Brown, John Tierney, and an 8-year old little girl representing her father, whom I have never heard of. When I do pick up, I say "Hello", then hang up when the recording comes on. What a waste of money! I wish they would pump the money into programs for the state!

Scott Brown by far - if he wanted my vote he shouldn't have resorted to basically what I consider harassment...phone call after phone call & mailer's galore - disgusting.
Those fake ads painting him as someone who is for woman’s right ...lame.

All of them! Mailer ads go right into recycling bin...don't even look at them...what a waste of money! Will be glad when it's over!

*bin

Elizabeth Warren not only sent out her false propaganda mailers and had the National Democratic party send out mailers that tell outright lies about her opponent for her as well, but her workers canvassed the neighborhood 3 times door to door and came back even when I told them the first time I was not interested in their candidate.... OBNOXIOUS! It is obvious the National Democratic Party wants the "Kennedy" seat back to hand to Joe Kennedy next time around...

Relevant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjrthOPLAKM

All of them. But the most insulting mailer I received was actually from Paul Ryan solicitating a donation. The letter thanked me for my past support. Someone in their marketing dept really screwed up. Not only have I never, ever donated to a political party or candidate, I am not even a Republican.

Scott Brown. I am not voting for him just because I am suck of the phone calls mailings not to mention he and his stupid truck. If I never see his face or hear his voice again it will be too soon!!!!!

I keep getting flyers from Lie-a-watha. I use them to line the litter box. And I hope that I won't have to look at another picture of Joe Tearney ever again after Tuesday.

Liz Warren's workers have bugged me the most. I dont like answering the door late at nite. So far 5 times late after 7 pm. You reall dont know if they are ligit or not especially what's been goin on in the city. Mitt romney on the phone all ours. all through the evening. Im going to be glad when this is over. This is probably for me the first time in my life I have ever seen so much aggresive politics.

What would bug me the most?
Barak HHussein Obama wins
Warrens wins.
Garballey wins
Donnelley wins
Tierney wins
Kennedy wins
Tsongas wins
And Anieeeeee walks. LaCourt has her day, the day after the election.
Tierney wins
Thanks.... Saul

What bugs me the most is Lizzy The Liar and her Union BoZo's who keep making phone calls in her behalf . Word has it that Union leaders threatened worker into making phone calls . Absolutely Despicable , that women could care less for the working person ....

I'm tired of getting all the calls and junk mail from all the Illinois candidates... WE MOVED HERE OVER THREE YEARS AGO!!!!

The junk mail is a pain and I just recycle it but look at it this way. The Post Office makes money on the mailings, The printing companys and the news papers make a fortune on the printing, Television makes millions on the ads also. So like I said it is a pain but it is good for the economy.

The amount of mail and the phone calls has been amazing. There has been a lot of both. I have my wife put the political junk mail on the counter near the trash barrel so I can just push it in. There is some every single day. It is really a waste of money. We do not answer the phone calls. Our home phones speakout the name of the caller so it becomes easy. The emails come in fast and furious too. I can not wait for this to be over. I also can't wait for Obama to get the boot.

Do not call list law should apply to everyone--including politians!!!. My mother twisted her ankle trying to.get to the phone for what? "hello I am President Clinton vote for . . . ? I work late and deserve not to have the phone ringing unless it is from someone who needs me or someone I know and want to talk to.

The mailings and calls are one thing. The people ringing my doorbell that look like they just came from a methadone clinic hired by the Warren campaign I have a problem with.

I'm jealous of all of you! I feel like a nobody, a zilch whose opinions are worthless! So far, I must have gotten no more than 3 or 4 postcards max. from each of the candidates, and only ONE phone call (but with a real people at the other end) from Warren. :~((

Warren's phone calls have been the most annoying--sometimes more than one in the same day. Unbelievable that anyone with such little credibility in so many ways is even stiil in the race. She and her progressive/socialist agenda--including "investing" (which means "spending") taxpayers' hard earned money would be a joke if it weren't so serious and dangerous to our economy and the already unsustainable nationat debt. No one needs her calls or lit.& no one in MA needs her in "the people's seat" in Washington.

I had a moat built around my house a couple of years ago just for this kind of thing. Although, I couldn't fill it with real alligators you know, because it's too cold around here, but if any of those pushy poll takers actually try to cross my moat, the gates that hold the dogs back are automatically released. I really value my privacy!

The "people" will be sending Senator Brown back to Washington, if they want a someone who represents us. Warren would only represent the Washington/Hollywood elite that support her and the progressive/socialist agenda so inapproptiate for our country. If by strange fate, people want to give up their freedoms and elect Warren, we may all need to build a moat like Leonardo, not just from advertising, but from big government.

Warren, Warren, Warren! Argh!

Thankfully, it's modern times and we have this amazing technology called Caller ID and voice mail to screen out the Bad People. :)

"What kid would?".......I hope she gets crushed

I sent Brown an email saying I did not like his negative ads and was not going to vote for him. Now I get calls, emails, and mailings from his campaign. I hope he loses.

i am so done with Elizabeth Warren, Bill Clinton and L'Italian. .Stop the nonsense.. I cant beleive the spend their money on such foolishness.. I get my mail and go straight to the recycle bin.. Do they really think that we have the time to look at all these.. I should of saved every single one of them..I bet I could of filled the recycle bin!!

I just would have liked if Barry Finegold left our lawn alone--after telling him (face to face, mind you) a month or two ago that we would prefer not to place any signs on our lawn, suddenly one morning we wake up to TWO.

We took them down and left them on the ground, but when we came home from work they were back up again... I like you, Barry, but your campaign has really soured the rest of my family's feelings towards you after that.

I could also go without another misleading Scott Brown pamphlet. They're starting to actually get STUCK in our mailbox...!

Scott Brown's television ads are so sleazy they make me want to soak my tv in a vat of penicillin-infused Lysol. The only credit I'll give him is that at least he doesn't hide behind a PAC; Scott Brown approves his own hateful and deceitful messages. Also, he's a TERRIBLE driver. Eyes on the road, dude!

Lizzy Liarwartha should stick to her "heritage" and just use smoke signals next time. I predict she will be back teaching ONE class at Harvard next week. ... $340,000 to teach one class! I am sure she feels our pain!

Diana - I think Paul is becoming really confused. Paul wrote: "To Leonardo....I've read your comments over the past week regarding Romney, and I came to one conclusion....you clearly have a hatred for wealthy people.Those who have little or nothing, tend to knock the ones who put in the hard work to get to where they are today." Now Paul is upset with Elizabeth Warren's success. Maybe the truth of the matter is that he has a problem with her "heritage".

Anyone who really has been watching & listening to what's been happening these last 4 years--and about 50 or so before that, knows he/she has a critical choice to make Tues.--and it's not just about party or candidates; it's about America. Do you want to keep the democratic republic that our country has been for over 200 years with individual liberties for everyone and the freedom and opportunity for folks to pursue their personal visions of the American Dream--or do you want our country to become the progressive/socialist style government where bureaucrats determine citizens' fates, consistently take from them and promise more than they can give, and spend us into the same situation as Greece. Be careful what you vote for, our lives and the lives of our children and grandchildren--and then some-- depend on it.

JT -Yes, I do want to keep the democratic republic. That is why I am voting for President Obama and Elizabeth Warren! I will always vote for brains over bull any day.

Shay, Shay, Shay, you are soooooo misguided! I'm assuming you are young, so you will learn. I think it was Winston Churchill who said something like 'if you are young and not a liberal, you have no heart; if you are old and not conservative, you have no brains.'

If I had a dollar for each time I have heard this misquote repeated, I’d be a rich by now. There is no record of Churchill ever speaking these words. Actually, Churchill did precisely the opposite. He stated in politics as a Conservative Party member. He switched to the Liberal Party at age 29. He later returned to the Conservative Party at age 49. Furthermore, Churchill would have never made such a statement, which would have certainly insulted his most beloved wife, Clementine, a life-long Liberal. And by the way, the words, Conservative and Liberal refer to the names of two British parties and hardly have the connotations they have in this country.

Nikki, Nikki, Nikki - I am sure if review everything about Mitt & Scott, you will agree with Walter Lippmann who realized many years ago "Brains, you know, are suspect in the Republican Party".

quasi, after I read your post I decided to check google, and found an entry that matched your post almost word for word...such a coincidence, huh?!

Diana-
I would have to say no but certainly did find that "Brains, you know, are suspect in the Republican Party".

Some sites attribute it to him, and some dispute it. A couple sites suggest Disrali (sp?). Obviously it is a quote from *someone*, and whomever it was, I like his/her concept.

Diana wrote,

"People don't get more conservative as they age because they get smarter. It's because they get lazy and stop thinking, or caring much except about their tiny little piece of the world. They calcify. First step toward death, really."

which Nikki thought was "hilarious" !?

To me, a more appropriate word would have been "depressing," because it is the sad fact of this society. It's (excuse the cliché) "Don’t bother me with facts, son. I’ve already made up my mind” **

**Foghorn Leghorn, the animated chicken in Warner Brothers cartoons.

I can't stand to see Warren's ad on comcast when I try to log on to my email.

I do not support the candidacy of Scott Brown who may be a likeable guy with a handsome jet set family, but for me, I will always see him as a Burt Reynold wanna be. It just fits to closely to what he would be thinking at 22 years old. Burt did it and became a star, why not me. You don't pose semi-nude in the same national magazien that Reynolds di because you thought it would be just the thing you needed on your resume to become a US Senator when you grow up. No, there is no way that double standard hog wash should be allowd to stand up. Hey, if he wanted to Mr. Hot Stuff, at 22, no big deal but don't try to tell be this guy is serious man, and don't try to fake it as a US Senator with something to add at this time of great financial threats all aroung. I take the positon of US Senator too seriously. Elizabeth Warren is a pro and one of the most informed and qualified financial experts in land and that is exactly what we need RIGHT now, especially considering the fac and threat to us all that the big banks and financial institutions along with Wall St. have become our mortal enemies and predators. We need this woman badly at this time, or they will eat us alive and our children's children.

If Paul Surettes still around, I'm sorry for my bad spelling. I'll try to do better next time. I make mistakes when I get a little hyper about this election. I just had a little too much coffee this morning.

You seem to forget that Elizabeth Warren was once a Republican who was widely sought after as a political asset. One of the main reasons she left the Republican Party was the new law making it much harder for ordinary everyday Americans to file for Bankruptcy. The Financial Institutions knew they were screwing the American people and also knew that most families could not make the payments as the prices of Medical Insurance, Care For Family Elders, Energey Bills, Food Bills, School Tuition before college and College Costs became so prohibitive that people could not pay their grossly unfair interests rates and therefore started to file for bankruptcy. Elizabeth Warren knew that new law was a terribly unfair to average Americans who could not now, easily file for Bankruptcy any longer after it passed in 2005 or 6. Yet big Auto corporations still could like the one in new lately that Mitt Romney wanted to go bankrupt, so they could start over again, but that was an option taken off the table for the average American and Elizabeth Warren knew it was a screw job to most all of us. She was a Republican, and she left that party because she felt there were many inequities against the average Joe, that Republicans seem to be behind. I believe if she gets elected with Obama she can make a difference and remember it was no accident that was the architect of the Dodd-Franks Consumer Advocacy Bill to make contacts and ads more transparent. If you can't explain it, you can't sell it.

Correction (Consumer Advocacy Bill to make financial intitution contracts more easily understood and more transparent) Eliizabeth is far ahead of the curve.

Diana,
The need to assign labels has become too prevalent and to some degree is the reason the government is coming to a grinding halt. Nikki is right; the middle ground is where politicians need to be. People who view the world as one party is right all the time, accomplish little, working together for the greater good is what we should want from our leaders. Jamming things down the throat of the opposition leads to resentment and intransience.
In the end, one person will win and one will lose and if the country cannot move forward one way or another we will all lose. I hope we can get past the name calling and the bashing in the name of party and partisanship come the day after the election. We may find we have more common ground than you think

Ron - I am so tired of all the name calling. You lack facts to back up your premise, that Elizabeth Warren is a "puppet". The same is true of Nikki who seems to think that her old age is justification for her position and relies on false quotes to support her premise. Thank you Leonardo, Quas, and Diana for taking the time and making the effort to bring facts to the discussion. Your ethics and efforts are truly appreciated.

Well, kate, at least we can agree on one thing...I'm tired of all the name calling, too. I would like to chime in here and say, if you'll notice in my original post, I said I THINK the quote was attributed to Churchill. I have no idea who said it, nor do I care...I just appreciate the theory that, as one grows older, (hopefully) one grows wiser.

Ron I don't think a "puppet" tells her own party I'm leaving you guys because something stinks in Pub Ville. That's not the way it works. What your repeating is what the Financial Institutions, Wall St. and Big Banks say about Warren because they are scared crap of her getting power. Everybody knows this!! and as far not bailing out General Motors, one of your premises you say, is they made bad cars, so let them learn their lesson. However when Wall Street extorted the Federal Goverment to bail them out or risk World Wide financial collaspe, when it is well know fact they they caused the their own problems and their own potential demise by trading faulty securites. More scare tactics so often used in this election. The predatory loan scandal is another example of Big Banks knowingly creating a financial disastor for profit, knowing Goverment (The People ) would have to bail them out because they were "TOO BIG TO FAIL". So we did, but it was a extorted money from the tax-payer. That's why if you have a savings account in a bank now, they give you bird seed as interest for the money you keep there. We are paying for the WHITE COLLAR crimes of these monstrous FInancial Institutions and someone should have gone to jail for it but George W, his justice department and other high ranking officials with Wall St. decided that no one would be prosecuted for their crimes. I wonder why they would that.? So under your premise we should have let Wall St. and the Big Banks just tank???

I don't answer and recycle the cards, all a silly waste of $.

This is the future (2 million hits, social media, ...), can't imagine phone polls are going to be around for long, ...

Mitt-mentum in the USA!

I doubt that Churchill's wife would have been embarrassed about that quote being attributed to him after the more incendiary ones aimed at Lady Astor.

What others are saying about Warren vs Brown, and the rest:

http://www.tewksburyissues.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=10457

I would rather have a conversation with Kevin MacDonald than get another phone call or flyer in the mail.

The negative mailers are the worst form of propaganda. Pure "garbage" literally. This year I shredded a few and sent back their remains to the organizations that sent them. If everybody did this I think that it would send a clear message that we don't care to receive them. It also sends back trash that we pay to have hauled away. Believe me, if millions of these were returned progaganda organizations would stop sending them. I'd love to see their offices littered with the same trash they send us.

I got one today and says he's Pat Boone representing 60's for Mitt Romney. 3 calls 3 days with his stupid lil jokes. Then you get the calls when their robo call does not work and you get silence. That's when it starts to freak you out.

priceless!

Anchor homes in on Warren wigwam
http://bostonherald.com/news/columnists/view/20221105anchor_homes_in_on_warren_wigwam

Khazei: “I asked Warren if she had anything in the house that reflects her Native American heritage.”

On the videotape, you can see Granny’s smile freeze on her face. After all, Kim Khazei’s cousin is Alan Khazei — muscled out of the Democratic primary to clear the field for the carpetbagging fake Indian. Was this question payback from Clan Khazei?

Finally, Granny replies, the smile still unmoving. Her voice is frosty.

“I have plenty of pictures. They’re not for you.”

This mansion of hers is yet another inconvenient truth, upsetting her invented narrative about beginning life on the middle class’ “ragged edge.”

Last year, before giving an interview to New York magazine, her campaign insisted that the house be “off the record.” Last week on NECN, the posh estate was described as a “Victorian fixer-upper.”

Really? According to records, she and her professor husband picked it up for $447,000 in September 1995. The statewide average price in Massachusetts for a home that month was $181,816.

Some fixer-upper. As usual, when Granny gets caught stretching the truth, she stretches it a little further. Here’s what she told Kim Khazei: “You know the phrase ‘a rescue dog?’ This was sort of a rescue house.”

I thought a “rescue dog” was one in danger of being put down. I’m pretty certain Granny’s Linnaean Street mansion, almost 4,000 square feet, was not in such danger. You know her M.O. If you don’t like her current explanation, wait five minutes.

A president who acts/talks like a community organizer, sad.

Mitt-mentum solves that tomorrow!!!!

"Don't boo. Vote, Voting's the best revenge."

To Chris Caesar and Mark Ouellette: Clearly the two of you have no handle on what is said on these threads. Either you suffer from selective reading skills, or you agree with what people like Diana say. All that is ever spewed from her is nastiness and snide remarks. And now the race remarks? If you want people to step up their game, then how about the two of YOU step up yours and tell the toad to refrain from the race remarks like the one she made earlier in this post! Practice what you preach !

Uh oh, the inquisition has expanded!

Well, because I had absolutely nothing better to do, I re-read all the posts in this string. I didn't see one that even remotely struck me as being "racist". While I have questioned Chris Caesar in the past about seemingly innocent posts that have been removed, in this case, I can't find a reason to fault him. or Mark Ouellette. Sorry, Paul, I just don't see the reason for your criticism.

Okay, this was posted by Paul (Somebody) and to me it is racist and inappropriate...notice the last name he gives Elizabeth Warren as well as his reference to her using smoke signals. Please...that is the best argument you can come up with?

KROFT: Mr. President, this morning you went out of your way to avoid the use of the word terrorism in connection with the Libya Attack, do you believe that this was a terrorism attack?

OBAMA: Well it’s too early to tell exactly how this came about, what group was involved, but obviously it was an attack on Americans. And we are going to be working with the Libyan government to make sure that we bring these folks to justice, one way or the other.

KROFT: It’s been described as a mob action, but there are reports that they were very heavily armed with grenades, that doesn’t sound like your normal demonstration.

OBAMA: As I said, we’re still investigating exactly what happened, I don’t want to jump the gun on this. But your right that this is not a situation that was exactly the same as what happened in Egypt. And my suspicion is there are folks involved in this. Who were looking to target Americans from the start. So we’re gonna make sure that our first priority is to get our folks out safe, make sure our embassies are secured around the world and then we are going to go after those folks who carried this out.

To reiterate: I DID NOT post anything about Elizabeth Warren....folks, my name is, now read this with me....P-A-U-L....S-U-R-E-T-T-E.....kabish?

Uh! what was the question?, who has bugged you the most, all of them, I have happily put all of the glossy colored mailers, through the shredder, and got a great deal of satisfaction while I did it..... I'm sick to death of it all. and folks stick to the subject

This entire election bugged me: the pandering, condescension, lies and distortions on TV mostly, and the mailbox ads. I have Caller ID and the phone rang and rang close to ten times during my painting at my desk today, all went unanswered. Yes Churchill is right; I had heart till about Reagan, then I got brains! Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush and McCain. Our national DEBT can't afford the man from Hawaii-Kenya-Chicago so I go with the millionaire from Mexico-Michigan-Utah-Mass. I saved Brown's mailings, but used Warren's flyers like another did with Tierney's. Merry Christmas is NEXT!

I think Elizabeth Warren has bugged me the most. I'm tired of the daily ringing of my doorbell. I'm tired of the automated calls to my house. Just yesterday, there was a prerecorded message from Matt Damon for Elizabeth Warren. I'm also tired of the Question 4 calls about Somerville. My phone is filling up with blocked calls. I want my peace. I don't need people bothering me on Saturday and Sunday. I don't care that it's freedom of speech. I have a right to privacy. I made a No Soliciting sign for my door yesterday hoping to have some peace tonight. It says, NO SOLICITING NO POLITICS NO SUBSCRIPTIONS NO RELIGION DO NOT DISTURB UNLESS YOU ARE UPS, FEDEX, USPS, DHL, AUTHORIZED DELIVERY, CLOSE FRIENDS/FAMILY. So far so good. I've shut off the ringer to my phone too. I want my peace of mind.
