Her claims of ancestry that she does not have in her family tree which she used to get educational placement makes anything she does a loss for me. She has shown she cares quite a bit more about her own interest than at least parts of the public.

It was my understanding that she was told as a child she was part Native American. Reguardless, it sounds like you live in a black and white world. People are good or bad. I'm here to tell you that is simply not so. You're dismissing this letter and her ideas because of past, unrelated indiscretions. You're making a pretty big accusation saying that she isn't looking out for her constituents, whom may I remind you voted her into office with the knowledge regarding her family heritage. Oh, look at that. You've derailed the conversation. How convenient.

I'm dismissing it because she has shown herself to be of poor character and not corrected her past mistakes and taken advantage where she had no right. It is black and white claiming ancestry, if your family is listed with a tribe - all good - otherwise no. No apology, no public donation to http://www.collegefund.org/ to correct the error, the no reason to trust future motives. Who lost out because she claimed something?

Ideas should be judged on their merit and their merit alone.

There are no pure ideas in politics. There is the law, motive, and regulations. The person driving it is of importance on how they dealt with others in the past.

Remember children, ad hominem attacks are what opponents use when their other arguments lack substance.

[protomyth]

Saying it is ad hominem when it isn't is pretty poor too. She claimed something that wasn't true, it goes to her character.
