"Minorities, women win big on ballot" by Peter Schworm and Katheleen Conti, Globe Staff | November 5, 2009
LAWRENCE - The fastest growing ethnic group, Latinos are gaining political clout in other Massachusetts cities, notably Springfield, which on Tuesday elected several representatives of Hispanic descent....
Why DIVIDE by (enter your own quality, readers), Glob!?!!
Are we not ALL AMERICAN VOTERS (who agree on ending these wars among other things?!!!!)
And ARE NOT LATINOS very ANTI-ABORTION?
:-)
“It’s a natural progression,’’ said Agnes Bain, a political science professor at Suffolk University who lives in Lawrence....
I don't know, Massachusetts is a LONG WAY from Mexico!!!
Of course, if you are promoting the NEW WORLD ORDER as the newspaper is then such sentiments are hardly surprising.

As for the "war" candidates:
"Warren among ranks of office-seeking Iraq veterans; Newton mayor served 11 months" by Kathleen Burge and Calvin Hennick, Globe Staff | Globe Correspondent | November 5, 2009
Setti Warren’s victory in the Newton mayor’s race is the latest in a small but growing trend, Iraq war veterans who have sought elected office.
Warren, an intelligence officer in the Navy Reserve and the city’s first African-American mayor, rarely spoke about his 11 months in Iraq during the campaign until Tuesday night, when he addressed the terrors of war and contrasted that experience with what he sees in Newton....
Many veterans of the Iraq war have turned to politics in recent years, especially during the 2008 election, when one of the contenders for the nation’s highest office, Senator John McCain, burnished his reputation as a hero of the Vietnam War. But although McCain was standard-bearer for the Republican Party, Warren was elected mayor of an affluent suburb of 83,000 that is known for the liberal politics and the antiwar stance of many of its residents.
So was he an ANTI-WAR VET, and why won't the Globe tell us?
I mean, they SURE MAKE SURE you know about the rest!
Peace activists began holding weekly public vigils in Newton Centre after the US-led invasion of Afghanistan and the ensuing Iraq War. And shortly after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, two residents sued the Newton school district, accusing administrators of failing to properly display American flags and allow daily time for the Pledge of Allegiance. The case was dismissed in Middlesex Superior Court. In candidate debates, Warren frequently pointed to his experience in government, rather than to his military service.
He most recently worked as deputy state director for US Senator John F. Kerry and also worked 10 months as director of the New England region of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Yesterday, in an interview in his campaign headquarters less than 24 hours after he defeated state Representative Ruth Balser, Warren recalled having to leave his pregnant wife behind when he traveled to Iraq.
At least you came back.

Warren, wearing jeans, sneakers, and a leather jacket with patches from his Navy service sewn on, said:
“It tests your mental capacity, your mental toughness. It reminds you how fortunate I am to have been born and raised in Newton, to be able to come back home to a beautiful daughter, a beautiful wife, a beautiful family.’’
And of THOSE WHO DO NOT because of the LIES?
Kerry, a Vietnam veteran, said yesterday:
“Service to the military is an enormously good training ground for leadership. People who serve have a terrific grounding in management.’’

And he was the "antiwar" candidate in'04?
Last year, Nathan Bech, a Republican and Iraq war veteran from West Springfield, unsuccessfully tried to unseat US Representative John W. Olver, Democrat of Amherst. But Olver was elected to his ninth full term.

In Maine last year, Alex Cornell du Houx, a young veteran of Iraq from Brunswick, had better luck. He was elected to the Legislature, two years after being deployed to Iraq, where he patrolled the streets in and around Fallujah as a US Marine.
Pro or anti, Glob?

Young women in Fallujah in Iraq are terrified of having children because of the increasing number of babies born grotesquely deformed, with no heads, two heads, a single eye in their foreheads, scaly bodies or missing limbs.
COMING SOON to AMERICAN WOMBS, soldiers!
In addition, young children in Fallujah are now experiencing hideous cancers and leukaemias. These deformities are now well documented, for example in television documentaries on SKY UK on September 1 2009, and on SKY UK June 2008. Our direct contact with doctors in Fallujah report that: In September 2009, Fallujah General Hospital had 170 new born babies, 24% of whom were dead within the first seven days, a staggering 75% of the dead babies were classified as deformed."
That's because of the DEPLETED URANIUM SHELLS and MUNITIONS we use, 'murkn!
