Elizabeth Warren 2016! signs should be handed out at Occupy Wall Street. |
|
And a loud and clear message to re-instate the Glass-Steagal Act among other demands.

2. She won't have the momentum yet, she's in senate mode. |
|
2016 is her year. Back to back Democratic presidents.

|
we go about anointing Ms. Warren.
I think she would agree...

4. Nope. Non-partisan. Both parties are part of the problem. The people are the solution. |

7. And the people have the power to reject pandering politics. Which they have done and they are |
|
determined to do. Voting has got us squat.

13. "Both parties are the problem" is a miserable lie. Limbaugh bull****. |
|
The one truth hidden in there is that extremist GOPer fascism is what lets some of the Democrats go overboard selling out to Financial Capitalism.
But the two parties are as different as they have been at any time in the last 100 years.
About where they were in 1932.

14. FDR reincarnate, as they said FDR was Abraham Lincoln incarnate. |
|
Obama is trying to run the White House up to the Lincoln standard. Doing a good job overall.
But it'll take 16 years of Democratic Party presidents to clean up this mess. After 30 years of mostly 1%er rule, apart from the Clinton tax hikes.

12. Cut yer bitchin'.... You ain't got anything better to do ??? |
|
If you haven't got anything good to say, then please read quietly so's you don't disturb the other guests at this establishment.
And, yeah, ELIZABETH 2016 is a good idea.
Catching Scott Brown in the sack with Gannon and Breitbart is almost a close second.

23. It's a STUPID idea. You don't understand the MA electorate. |
|
So why don't you "cut yer bitchin'" and stop counting chickens before we've had the chance to hatch them.
We still have a primary to get past. And a general.
Scott Brown raised fourteen million bucks and then some in the last few days from the Tea Party--chicken counting plays right into his agenda.

15. Make sure she gets into the Senate. |
|
I agree she would make a great President. Of course, the corporations which control the electoral process and both parties will fight her like hell.

19. How about letting her win something first? |
|
I love her...she is awesome. But she's not ready to be President. Let us see how she governs something first. I understand her appeal, but talk of her for POTUS is extremely premature.

25. I was being humorous. Warren could take out the whole GOP field now. |

Even with little experience.

27. She's actually got a lot of government experience, she just doesn't have |
|
experience in elected office.
She did really well at the debate at UMASS Lowell. There wasn't much contention between the candidates, it was "us" v. Brown for the most part. However, she came off as the most polished of the lot--her delivery was BRILLIANT, very much at ease, almost conversational. Of all of the candidates, she was the one that was easiest to relate to (at least from my perspective). None of them did terribly, they all acquitted themselves well, but she was the star of the show--IMO.

This is not a politically partisan movement. What they quite rightly aren't interested in is having every MOFO with a Jeb Bush or Elizabeth Warren 2016 sign or anyone else's.
