Boston Mayor Menino Endorses Elizabeth Warren for U.S Senate

He gave his endorsement at a pro-Warren rally in Roslindale on Friday afternoon.

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren for United States Senate during a pro-Warren rally in Roslindale on Friday.   Menino, a Democrat, said he did not endorse Warren right away because he "wanted to get to know her" first.

The 50.5 percent (see today's Boston Herald article) of taxpayers who pay for the rest of the non-taxpayers are not all "one percenters" as AER suggests. Many of us in the "middle class" know Harvard elite Warren does not have our best interests at heart--especially when Wall Street that she claims to abhor is financing her--along with Hollywood & big-money special interests.
