I like Warren as she seems to be one of the few in Congress that is genuinely concerned for the average citizen.


She's a millionaire and her brother is on SSI and poor. I am sure her first concern is the welfare of people.

Well... To be honest, we don't know the history. Her brother could be like my mom who plays the victim card and refuses to work.

I doubt that she will but what if Susana Martinez of New Mexico ran? You could do the same with the first woman and the first Hispanic. Best part is that Martinez actually IS Hispanic.

From what I've seen and heard from Warren, she often comes across as someone that puts the average citizen before the money of special interests, primarily when it comes to the banking industry.

Fair enough. I agree.

So she is exactly like Obama. He's a millionaire and his brother lives in a hut in Kenya.

I believe (about 90% believe) that the American electorate is past the point of no return, but if Elizabeth freaking Warren ( ) gets elected President, my beliefs will have been confirmed.

I'll put it this way. She's a politician, and thus can't be 100% trusted. Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad with them, and her actions to tackle the big banks and the student loan industry get her props in my book. A lot of the other stuff she advocates I can't fully agree with, but at least she's trying to get some reforms in those two arenas that would help a lot of people. If that makes me a sucker, so be it. If you like any politician, you're a sucker.

And again, there's no way I would vote for her 2016, nor do I think she's anywhere close to being ready for president.

She wants public-funded abortions on demand. She supports forcing church's to provide birth control. She supports an Equal Pay amendment. Opposes Free Trade. Supports restricting the Second Amendment and banning any clip over 10 capacity. Opposes Right to Work legislation and wants more federal control over union formation. Opposes any privatization of social security. Wants to increase tax rates and eliminate tax deductions and credits.


Sounds like a platform I could get behind.

You've never really listened to her, have you? She's got the Reagan magic and she's one of the most formidable debaters in Washington. Palin and Santorum are bad jokes; Warren isn't.

I think she's very engaging, but she doesn't command an audience the way Reagan did. I'm sure sex and stature have something to do with that, but Reagan was one of the great political communicators of our time.

Brown would be a Democrat in just about any other state. He was a actually a very good Senator that wasn't afraid to break party ranks on an issue. I believe his approval rating in Mass. towards the end of his term was over 50%.

wasn't there a story recently about how nervous and anxious she gets before speaking in public, to the point of vomiting?

lolz. she is a class warfare populist with little experience on the national level or in foreign affairs who will divide the nation even further. 8 years of Obama is certainly enough punishment for "America's sins" right?
