Elizabeth Warren, in one Tweet, takes out Walker's legs

[Ellipsis]

"If Scott Walker sees 100,000 teachers & firefighters as his enemies, maybe it's time we take a closer look at his friends."

5. She's got more than guts

But sometimes, guts is enough.

[billhicks76]

59. Yes...And WE Need Someone Who Can Beat Rand Paul Should He Get The Nod

If it's Clinton vs Bush we all lose...if its Clinton vs Paul then Paul could win...If it's Warren vs Bush or Paul then Warren wins. Very simple in my opinion.

[demwing]

87. Do you honestly think Rand Paul could win

even FOX polls have Clinton well ahead

[billhicks76]

98. I Certainly Do

Only fools look to the past as their guide. The situation isn't static...it's always dynamic. Everyone said Obama couldn't win but he tapped into something. Paul is tapping into the overwhelming anti-NSA and anti-War sentiment in this country as well as getting the jump on marijuana legalization. He just won CPAC poll too. I'm much more afraid of Jeb Bush as his evil runs much deeper. My bet is Bush trying to sabotage Paul. Warren could win easily with her message but I'm not sure if she can get enough money to compete as our system is corrupt.

6. Nailed it!!!!

7. I'm glad to see Elizabeth learned ~something~ in that meeting with Hillary..

[Bluenorthwest]

21. She learned something somewhere, because she stood by Reagan when he busted Unions, fired

the Air Traffic Controllers and so forth. She voted for him a second time after that, and continued to support Republican policy as a Republican until the mid 1990's. Considering that background one has to assume that she learned her lesson somewhere and from someone.

[raisedcatholicvet]

32. She had good reasons for leaving!

[ablamj]

55. I have to question

her intelligence if she didn't know until the 90's that Republicans are bad for America! I'm not all that smart and I knew that in the late 70's (I was born in 1962).

[cui bono]

33. Proves she's not dogmatic. And that's a good thing.

She walks the walk now. And I hope she walks into the White House.

[Enthusiast]

58. Pfft!

[99Forever]

8. Perfect.

Where's Hillary's take on it?

[hifiguy]

16. i am sure she is deep in consultations with her BFFs at Goldman

to find out what she is supposed to say.

10. Elizabeth Warren: Our next president.

She may not be running, but she sure acts like she is. And I'm all for her.

[maddiemom]

85. She ACTS like she has a spine and a quick wit,

We should expect more of our Democratic congresspersons (and POTUS) to have her attitude. Al Franken laid low for far too long (though understandable). Hope he continues to be more active now that he has a second term. We NEED Warren in the Senate for now. Running for president involves too much distraction.

[Half-Century Man]

11. The correct take on this. nt

Ugh.

23. It says a lot about the downward trend in America when

Last edited Sun Mar 1, 2015, 04:46 AM - Edit history (1)

people are actually jealous of teacher's pay and benefits and actually think of firefighters as lazy slouches just hanging out collecting a paycheck and a pension.

AND this is where it mainly stems from... Jealousy of another human being having the right to bargain for their wages, have a retirement plan, health insurance, and can't be thrown off the job because a boss doesn't like the way you smile. When regular people were making more money than teachers in manufacturing jobs and having the ability to pay for their lives and a few extra luxuries, they were ok with paying taxes and paying people for these services. Now, because of our politicians and the horrific policies that have gutted the middle class and saddled any future hope for money and education with astronomical debts, people are easily persuaded into seeing an enemy in public service workers and are manipulated with bumper sticker slogans into taking down everyone as low as they have gone!

It's really time for a massive shutdown. Either we stop work for a day or two and spin the wealthy's world into a tailspin or we collectively stop paying our bills for 2 or 3 months... Either would be effective!

[onethatcares]

24. you nailed it.

during that time of workers making a decent living resulted in teachers that did a great job teaching us kids.

Now the race to the money tree for the politicos and the race to the bottom for the working class will kill us all.

How do we get a national work shutdown? Something the msm cannot ignore like the demonstrations against the irag war and
the rest ?

[CTyankee]

26. I think this recession and Warren's insistence truth telling is having an effect...

people are slowly waking up. They've just witnessed the shift of wealth to the extremely rich in this country. It's been publicized far and wide in the press. Even the repukes are catching on. So it's amazing to see Walker try to use this class warfare argument NOW, when it is being discredited every single day. That tells me that if this is all he is running on, he's on his way out...

[Jackpine Radical]

60. His style is to put together a slick and highly intensive saturation ad campaign.

He has never run on his actual agenda, of course. (What Republican in the last 100 years has?). It's all image management, corrupt electoral processes and big money. He outspent his Democratic opponents by many times over in the Wisconsin races. It's like selling detergent. His ads will push everything else off the air, and the media machine, from Rush to M$NBC, will do their usual number of writing ecstatic reviews in praise of the would-be Emperor's new clothes.

His handlers will manage him like Reagan was managed. Sure, he's an idiot, but at this point at least, he remains an ELECTABLE idiot.

And it's worth remembering that the majority of the CPAC audience ate up his performance, ISIS bravado included. Kinda like Shrub--"Bring it on."

[glowing]

77. Sure would be a final nail in a coffin if America elected

A college drop out... and I suppose that wouldn't be so horrific if he was some source of ingenuity like a Steve Jobs or something, but he doesn't seem to care about anything other than himself and his personal bank account. That is extremely dangerous combination for someone who aspires to hold the most powerful position in America. He's truly a puppet. Shoot, as of now, most of them are.

[CTyankee]

80. I cannot agree on the Reagan comparison...

Reagan was a smiling former movie actor. He had a likeable persona. I look at Walker and I see snotty faced pale male. I'm sure he'll put together a slick campaign and I'm sure there will be attempts at voter suppression (which is what I fear more than anything). Plus, he made all those promises at the outset and his actual policies caused WI is become the economic mess it is today. He can't rewrite that that history. The Dem Party will attack him on his terrible weaknesses and the destruction he has caused in his state....

[Jackpine Radical]

92. So farm he and his media machine are managing to portray

Wisconsin as a great economic success, and he seems to be succeeding. He is about to destroy the agencies charged with auditing the budget, so that deceptive Republican accounting, that essentially hides the debt and kicks it down the road, appears to reflect the real situation.

[CTyankee]

94. Our neighbor in our vacation house in Door County is on Facebook all the time

blasting Walker, so I learn a lot from him. He's a big Democrat and a former county executive himself. He detests Walker and is on a personal mission to get that guy...

[Martin Eden]

27. Zing! n/t

31. Barking dogs. They have had a lot of practice, but evade the point don't they?

Scott sells out his constituency over a talking point in search of higher office and to please his masters. it's who he is.

[zazen]

37. "ugly" and "witch?" is this the 17th century?

Besides, Elizabeth Warren is conventionally attractive, however silly is that construction.

But all these bozos have is "she's ugly!1!. Moran! Snowballs!"

I Really really do like her

54. My advice:

Since Walker is a Kochroach, you have to take out all six legs or they can still run around and wreak havoc. If you snip off the antennae they can't use Wi-Fi to keep in touch with their benefactors, also.

62. YEAH! Warren knows them! Look at Walker's BFF playbook:

BERNIE SANDERS Uncovers 1980 Koch Agenda- "What Do the Koch Brothers Want?"

What else do the Koch brothers want?

In 1980, David Koch ran as the Libertarian Party’s vice-presidential candidate in 1980.

Let’s take a look at the 1980 Libertarian Party platform.

Here are just a few excerpts of the Libertarian Party platform that David Koch ran on in 1980:

“We urge the repeal of federal campaign finance laws, and the immediate abolition of the despotic Federal Election Commission.”

“We favor the abolition of Medicare and Medicaid programs.”

“We oppose any compulsory insurance or tax-supported plan to provide health services, including those which finance abortion services.”

“We also favor the deregulation of the medical insurance industry.”

“We favor the repeal of the fraudulent, virtually bankrupt, and increasingly oppressive Social Security system. Pending that repeal, participation in Social Security should be made voluntary.”

“We propose the abolition of the governmental Postal Service. The present system, in addition to being inefficient, encourages governmental surveillance of private correspondence. Pending abolition, we call for an end to the monopoly system and for allowing free competition in all aspects of postal service.”

“We oppose all personal and corporate income taxation, including capital gains taxes.”

“We support the eventual repeal of all taxation.”

“As an interim measure, all criminal and civil sanctions against tax evasion should be terminated immediately.”

“We support repeal of all law which impede the ability of any person to find employment, such as minimum wage laws.”

“We advocate the complete separation of education and State. Government schools lead to the indoctrination of children and interfere with the free choice of individuals. Government ownership, operation, regulation, and subsidy of schools and colleges should be ended.”

“We condemn compulsory education laws … and we call for the immediate repeal of such laws.”

“We support the repeal of all taxes on the income or property of private schools, whether profit or non-profit.”

“We support the abolition of the Environmental Protection Agency.”

“We support abolition of the Department of Energy.”

“We call for the dissolution of all government agencies concerned with transportation, including the Department of Transportation.”

“We demand the return of America's railroad system to private ownership. We call for the privatization of the public roads and national highway system.”

“We specifically oppose laws requiring an individual to buy or use so-called "self-protection" equipment such as safety belts, air bags, or crash helmets.”

“We advocate the abolition of the Federal Aviation Administration.”

“We advocate the abolition of the Food and Drug Administration.”

“We support an end to all subsidies for child-bearing built into our present laws, including all welfare plans and the provision of tax-supported services for children.”

“We oppose all government welfare, relief projects, and ‘aid to the poor’ programs. All these government programs are privacy-invading, paternalistic, demeaning, and inefficient. The proper source of help for such persons is the voluntary efforts of private groups and individuals.”

“We call for the privatization of the inland waterways, and of the distribution system that brings water to industry, agriculture and households.”

“We call for the repeal of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.”

“We call for the abolition of the Consumer Product Safety Commission.”

“We support the repeal of all state usury laws.”

In other words, the agenda of the Koch brothers is not only to defund Obamacare. The agenda of the Koch brothers is to repeal every major piece of legislation that has been signed into law over the past 80 years that has protected the middle class, the elderly, the children, the sick, and the most vulnerable in this country...

Tomorrow it will be Social Security, ending Medicare as we know it, repealing the minimum wage. It seems to me that the Koch brothers will not be content until they get everything they believe they are entitled to.

Our great nation can no longer be hijacked by right-wing billionaires like the Koch brothers.

For the sake of our children and our grandchildren, for the sake of our economy, we have got to let democracy prevail.
