I am betting on Warren as the RAT candidate - she spouts AND BELIEVES all the right Alinsky stuff, which seems to be what the RAT party is all about in the 2010s.
I think a clear contrast between opposing political philosophies would be a very healthy thing. But I’m very afraid of what side the crony corporatists and their paid for politicians would support.
I’d prefer to see Cruz on the USSC, appointed by Walker or Perry. Personally, I keep looking for a Reagan on the horizon and I don’t see one.
Mr. Obama was in his third year in the United States Senate when he was elected president. Can Eric read?
Pretty amazing that this peculiar woman is even being considered as a possible Dim presidentail nominee.
I like Ted Cruz but being photogenic is everything in modern politics and he looks like he is a genetic cross between John Belushi and Pat Buchanan.
If you don't look good on TV, you won't win Period. There are way too many shallow people who will vote against you. Smilin' Mitt might just do it again.
The Fauxohontas Factor should have ended her political career before it even started.
The GOP will never accept Cruz. Warren (who is almost certainly the nominee) will beat Bush, Christie, or Romney easily.
Is she already turning hispanic?
Warren is a bitter COMMUNIST. Spend just a little time reading about her. It will make you cringe if it doesn’t make you deathly sick.
Read a little of her book about two income families. She is terribly confused and bitter. It stems from her father’s heart attack, subsequent loss of job, her mother and her working to make ends meet etc.
Her warped ideas are where obongo got his “You didn’t earn that.” ideas for 2012.
From Wikipedia:
On September 14, 2011, Warren declared her intention to run for the Democratic nomination for the 2012 election in Massachusetts for the United States Senate. The seat had been won by Republican Scott Brown in a 2010 special election after the death of Ted Kennedy.[41][42] A week later, a video of Warren speaking in Andover became popular on the internet.[43] In it, Warren replies to the charge that asking the rich to pay more taxes is “class warfare,” pointing out that no one grew rich in America without depending on infrastructure paid for by the rest of society, stating:[44][45]
There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. ... You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for; you hired workers the rest of us paid to educate; you were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did. Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless. Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.
From a National Review story her comments of just a week or so ago about what progressivism means. She may as well have been standing front of a cuban flag.
- “We believe that Wall Street needs stronger rules and tougher enforcement, and we’re willing to fight for it.”
- “We believe in science, and that means that we have a responsibility to protect this Earth.”
- “We believe that the Internet shouldn’t be rigged to benefit big corporations, and that means real net neutrality.”
- “We believe that no one should work full-time and still live in poverty, and that means raising the minimum wage.”
- “We believe that fast-food workers deserve a livable wage, and that means that when they take to the picket line, we are proud to fight alongside them.”
- “We believe that students are entitled to get an education without being crushed by debt.”
- “We believe that after a lifetime of work, people are entitled to retire with dignity, and that means protecting Social Security, Medicare, and pensions.”
- “We believe—I can’t believe I have to say this in 2014—we believe in equal pay for equal work.”
- “We believe that equal means equal, and that’s true in marriage, it’s true in the workplace, it’s true in all of America.”
- “We believe that immigration has made this country strong and vibrant, and that means reform.”
- “And we believe that corporations are not people, that women have a right to their bodies. We will overturn Hobby Lobby and we will fight for it. We will fight for it!”
And the main tenet of conservatives’ philosophy, according to Warren? “I got mine. The rest of you are on your own.”
It is a shame she was born in Oklahoma but every family has its problems doesn’t it? She sure didn’t get much of the value system from there it is clear.
She needs to be destroyed. Instead she will probably prosper. At least she is 65 and shouldn’t live much longer but probably long enough to be terribly destructive.
Of course we all know it’s far more likely that she’d face Christie or Jeb.
The liberals I know (a few family members & co-workers) seem eager to usher Obama off from the stage, and all uniformly back Hillary. But they back her not out of policy preference over other Dems (they like Warren plenty), but because of the perception (right or wrong) that she’s a shoo-in to win >270EVs in the general election, no matter whom the GOP nominates.
The liberals I know see this as their chance to stack the courts in their favor for a few decades, and they’re especially mindful that there are a few good justices on the conservative side of things who are getting pretty advanced in age. I have one cousin who, thinking he’s so clever, brags about sending Scalia a “consolation care package” of red meat and cigars after Hillary wins.
I loathe their policy preferences to the core, but they keep their eyes on their long-term goals to an admirable degree.
At least the Republicans would have a serious candidate for once,
Conservatives need to endlessly tie her to Occupy Wall Street, recapping the horrific images of its appalling behavior:
VIDEO: Occupy Wall Street - Students occupied TD Bank 11.17.
VIDEO: Everyday Rebellion presents: Occupy Wall Street/Shut down Citibank, #S17
Minneapolis/St Paul Business Journal: Occupy Wall Street protesters close Wells Fargo HQ in S.F.
New York Times: For Some, Wall Street Is Main Street
Fauxcahontas = Dukakis II.
“While partisans on both sides would gag at the comparison, in some ways, Cruz and Warren are a lot alike.”
Huh?! What?!!!
