Elizabeth Warren: People Think I'm Capitalism's Savior

Elizabeth Warren: People Think I'm Capitalism's Savior Michael Warren July 30, 2012 1:32 PM

Massachusetts Democrat Elizabeth Warren says Wall Street types tell her she could be the "savior of capitalism" if she wins her race for U.S. Senate. Here's what Warren recently told a reporter, National Journal reports:

“Every now and again, I meet with someone who’s been very successful on Wall Street, who says, ‘I want to support your campaign because I believe you will save capitalism. I believe in capitalism, and I understand there have to be rules. And they have to be consistently enforced.’ That’s what I think is at stake in this election.”

That’s a hefty assignment, the salvation of capitalism, but Democratic strategists, while cringing at the grandiosity of the statement, say she articulates her vision for the assignment as well as any candidate.

Warren, who is running against Republican incumbent Scott Brown, has said she "created much of the intellectual foundation" for the anti-capitalist Occupy Wall Street movement. And a video of Warren telling supporters that "nobody in this country...got rich on their own" went viral with liberals last year and may have inspired President Obama's comments earlier this month that business owners "didn't build" their businesses.

Capitalism does not need a false god Satanic savior who is an avowed marxist now trying to ACT like she isn’t.

Really?

Even if you could walk on water I’d want to know if you could swim the distance.

What the hell is her definition of “capitalism”? I;m pretty sure it;s fascism or a close derivative of “crony capitalism”.

I am so sorry . . my evil twin, Mean Twinkie, is always getting into my computer and posting mean things on FR. I AM SO SORRY . . I’d have her arrested, but can’t bear to hurt Momma like that. Mean Twinkie has a lot of time on her hands now that she’s getting Obama’s cellphones and food stamps, and that monthly welfare check from Obama. :o(

Why must they always declare the exact opposite of what is true? Like somehow if the lie is blatant enough, people will start to doubt their own sanity.

Wow I forgot this thread existed. Wow I forgot that video existed. Hey GropinJoe, there's a video of Faux saying "nobody in this country...got rich on their own".
