Elizabeth Warren rips into GOP, NRA By: Patrick Reis March 14, 2013 09:07 AM EDT
Sen. Elizabeth Warren planted a liberal flag on Thursday, pushing the government’s right to regulate as she ripped Republicans, the National Rifle Association and anyone else who would stand in its way.
In a wide-ranging speech to the Consumer Federation of America, Warren defended federal regulations as essential for safe consumers and a healthy economy. And at a time when “cutting red tape” is a key plank of Republicans’ plan for economic growth, Warren argued that regulations were a success story in America.
“It’s thanks to federal agencies that no one has to worry that those white pills are baking soda instead of antibiotics or that the paint on the baby’s crib is laced with lead,” Warren said, according to a copy of her prepared remarks.
She singled out financial products and touted the work of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a fledgling financial watchdog created by the 2010 Dodd-Frank overhaul of financial regulations.
“This agency is about making consumer credit clear — no more hiding tricks and traps in a thicket of fine print. It is about letting consumers see the deal — and not worrying about the things they can’t see,” Warren said.
Warren hammered Republicans over their vow to block Richard Cordray, Obama’s nominee to lead the CFPB, from being confirmed. A filibuster-proof bloc of Republicans are demanding changes to the agency’s structure and budgeting process before they’ll confirm any director, saying the changes are needed for proper oversight of the new agency.

"If it wasn't for that infernal Winchester lever action assault rifle you all would
be working for me, living in teepees and eating rancid bear fat for breakfast."
How!
I mean how lame did Scott Brown have to be to lose to this wench.
The squaw, Little Running Gag will use white man’s talking papers to spread white man’s evil.
"Rig the system! Rig the system!" - her favorite words (repeated ad nauseum throughout the senate race).
The woman is a fake Indian riding a one-trick pony. Her repetitive whooping got her elected in MA, and now she expects her War Song to rally her tribe of Democrat hacks and low-info voters to carry her to the White House.
What would a Native American who spent her life in a wigwam know about anything?
FU Elizabeth!
I am the NRA! The NRA represents millions of law abiding citizens. When you castigate them, you do the same to us.
FU!
Squaw hate white man and his fire sticks.
Indian Squaw scofflaw who practice law without license speak with forked tongue.
