and it's like she's talking to a couple walls - they're so intent on spreading their own bullshit they never respond affirmatively to a single thing she says even though they have no rebuttal to it - because it's true.
it frustrates me.

The Bloomberg mouthpieces have her on their show with the notion they can poke holes in her argument, but they're the ones who end up full of holes.

is a populist super hero.

IF you really know what you're talking about, you can explain foggy complex things in simple understandable terms. She is a ninja master at that. Along with her Presidential running mate Alan Grayson.

that will be there for them when they become adults. "Making banks stronger" is useless without a strong work force, & a strong work force will strengthen social security. (My two cents.)

Sen. Warren did an exceptional job despite their nauseous attempts to interrupt her.

...to fear for this lady's well-being. The last time I seem to recall a truly progressive Democrat being so able, and so well-equipped, to beat the ever-lovin shit out of every Republican she faced in debate, or whatever, he and his family were killed in a small plane crash. A crash that I, to this day, still believe was murder. Face it folks, when Repugs - and their Corporate Masters - decide that they can't deal with someone as smart as she is, or he was, they just have em killed. This country is about as fucked up as any in history - and hell, I might include Hitlers Germany in that if pressed.

Social security is a "lender" to the United States, not the opposite, as they wish you to believe.

God bless Elizabeth Warren. I think we need to hire an independent secret service to protect her from the Fascists/Nazis.

And I really, really need you to believe that.

Give up hope! Now!

Perhaps she can be Secretary of Getting Her Out of the Way in Hillary's cabinet. If she stops scaring the job creators right away.

So please help our Senator by taking down this scary video, right now!

Regards,

TWM

She IS THE BEST.

I really, really, really hope she runs in 2015-2016. We need to hear her voice and her ideas in the 2016. It is absolutely essential to the economic security of our country that her ideas be shared with the American people.

Elizabeth Warren would be a great candidate in 2016. Bernie Sanders is also great, but Elizabeth Warren would be wonderful.

Elizabeth has said she intends on finishing out her term in the Senate. But 2016 is a way off, and maybe, just maybe it's in the cards that she'll acknowledge the groundswell for her brilliance, fighting spirit and temperament. She speaks for so damn many, and I for one, would take a leave of absence from work and do everything I could to get her elected President. She has her eye clearly on the "inequality" ball and sees a path to, as she says, fitting the pieces together.

She was needed in Massachusetts, but now we need her in the country. Who's with me?

go back on her word or campaign promises. Yes we need her ...to run She would not kill American jobs by supporting the NAFTA on Steroids the.. TPP..
Take this interview for example ..Just how do you think President Obama would have handled these questions about Social Security and Medicare...Cant you just here say.."Well Im willing to work with Congress etc.,etc".,
Elizabeth Warren's calling could very well be to be the first female President ..my choice for 2016

Unlike the Rethugs who filibuster with inane talking points, Sen. Warren delivers concise logic and refutes the inane right wing talking points from the right wing anchors.

the monies that the right (let's be honest, the left also)would raise to defeat her.
Sure, there would be populist money for her, but how do you beat billionaires, Republicans, Democrats, AND the media?
