Smear article on Elizabeth....... [View all]

Democrats don't really care about the little guys and gals: Column

It's funny how preachy politicians and activist groups can be when it comes to pet issues like "economic justice." Yet when it involves their private interest,s it turns into a case of "do as we say, not as we do."

Case in point crusading Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, who said in her 2006 book All Your Worth that the idea that "you can make big money buying houses and flipping them quickly" is a myth.

If so, then in the 1990s Warren and her husband were myth-busters. According to a new report in National Review making hundreds of thousands of dollars buying a handful of houses at deflated prices and reselling them months or years later at a substantial markup.
