[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You are doing the same thing again if you demonize Warren for a mistake she has apologized for. If she could, she would not do what she did years ago. But what she did was a mistake and not fraud[/quote]

Unless you can prove that she gained professionally by claiming to be American Indian, I consider it a mistake. You feeling does not count. A mistake is still a mistake. But I do not consider that to be disqualifying to be candidate for Presidency, especially when she is courageous enough to have bold proposals to improve the condition of the country and sound plan.[/quote]
