Heaven Is a Place Called Elizabeth Warren

And finally..from the same article.

“I was going to expose these people who were taking advantage of the rest of us.” What she found, after conducting with two colleagues one of the most rigorous bankruptcy studies ever, shook her deeply. The vast majority of those in bankruptcy courts, she discovered, were from hardworking middle-class families, people who lost jobs or had “family breakups” or illnesses that wiped out their savings. “It changed my vision,” she said. She would chart the disintegration of government policies that, since the New Deal, had helped create perhaps the strongest middle class in the world—in particular, the deregulation of the banks that began in the 1980s. It was a process that she says transformed the middle class into “the turkey at Thanksgiving dinner,” carved, “pulled from,” picked at, something from which everyone “could make a profit.” Her research into how that profit was made would take her into the world of subprime and teaser-rate mortgages, huge credit-card and checking-account penalties, and everything that was buried deep in incomprehensibly worded fine print—the “tricks and traps,” as she calls them, that banks used to lure people into increasingly risky credit products. It would be her immense knowledge of banking practices that would make her such a dangerous and natural foe to Wall Street.

That last sentence in bold. Why the right is trying to marginalise her by making shit up, or trying to make issues out of things that aren't even issues - ie her native American ancestory. Talk about the dance of the desperate...

This is just propagandist stupidity. Guess what the "vast majority of Americans" are? Yup, "middle class". So where the fuck do you think most of the bankruptcies would come from in that kind of statistical sample?
Dumbasses.

If warren is elected, will she wear a traditional headdress to her swearing-in?

In the only poll I can find Brown was ahead by 3% over Warren among people who had heard of her. 37% hadn't heard of her yet. I wonder what they thought about her first appearance of note? That being the assinine statement that nobody has made it on their own. Warren will fall flat on her face. I will help put her there.

It is going to be tough to take her down. I heard she has a lock on the Indian (Native American) vote in Massachusetts.

And more...

Today, Warren says, one “vision of how America works is that it’s an even game, that anybody can get started—just roll those dice; that booms and busts will come and millions of people will lose their homes, millions more will lose their jobs, and trillions of dollars in savings retirement accounts will be wiped out. The question is, Do we have a different vision of what we can do? This agency is out here in a sense to try to hold accountable a financial-services industry that ran wild, that brought our economy to the edge of collapse,” she said. “There’s been such a sense that there’s one set of rules for trillion-dollar financial institutions and a different set for all the rest of us. It’s so pervasive that it’s not even hidden.”

Another reason neocons hate her - they think it ok that millions people can lose their homes, as long as a few get the American dream....she doesn't. What a socialist!!

You are quite the simpleton aren't you gumby?

Elizabeth Warren is a Liberal/Progressive Goddess!

Some of you lefties have really low standards and expectations for Heaven and gods.
