I am sick of them all. It was in refernce to the claims of the dem candidate in MA for the Senate. It is just getting laughable. I can even be anrgy at what they do anymore.

I wonder what her stances on Native American Gaming and Casino construction was (I haven't bothered to google it yet) and how her newly prominent Native American Pride might effect the views of her by some of her fellow Native Americans if she was against it in her home state??

BTW, myself personally am the same percentage Native American as she is (I've got some Mohawk Indian ancestry) and never really thought to make it an issue. My cousin however, who has the exact same percentage of Native American Ancestry, and to my knowledge has never been active with the culture of our mutual ancestry did claim that ancestry on his college application to the same University in question in this case and was accepted there as a "minority" student, mind you the other 31/32nds of his ancestry is all British isles

The latest is there is no proof of her ancestry from a genealogical society here. The claim comes from a family newsletter. BTW, I also have some Mohawk in lineage, brother!

Humble politician = 2nd greatest Oxymoron , only exceeded by the great oxymoron : Honest politician

Exactly. Just inc ase anyone wants to make this political (R vs D) I think this behavior is common to nearly all politicians. It's something I would expect to see from all of them.
