My gawd, she is so cool. So smooth. I hope she can keep this momentum going till next year. A blessing to see her as Senator Warren.

OL' turd blossom is nothing more than a gnat that needs to be swatted.

    • Rove
      the quintessential representative of the evil empire
      Just a disgusting amoral pus wad

      Every time I see him
      I get a creep and need to take a shower

      * apologies to refined sensibilities for that imagery
      But
      Someone had to say it...

      Warren supports "a level playing field, standing up to Wall Street and the big banks exposing their tricks and traps" which is exactly what the OWS Protests are about.

      http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/12/07/1043170/-Accountability-Join-me-on-live...@-8pm

      "The word accountability should be on the tip of the tongue of every patriot who believes in the rule of law. We can not have a social contract without accountability (and the constitution IS a contract, so is every economic activity, when you think about it).

      There must be accountability both for the governed and the governors.

      Law makers must be not be above the law. We can not have a President with 84 ethics violations, nor can we have a President who tortures and commits war crimes, nor can we have a President who summarily executes people without trial.

      We can not have functioning economy if the largest actors within the system police themselves. The profit motive will forbid ethical behavior in the name of the greatest profit. The market will not police itself, neither will corrupted politicians dependent on corporate campaign donations to fund their re-elections police the marketplace, they have been bribed to do otherwise.

      At the end of the day, without accountability there is no justice, and if there is no justice there can be no peace. The debacle in Iraq and the ungovernable landscape of Afghanistan are testimonies to that fact.

      We must demand accountability under the rule of law for those people who have broken it. If a corporation like Bank of America is a person than it should be held to the same standards be held to that a person would be held to if a person broke the law. A person can not bribe the police officer on his beat, and neither should a corporation be allowed to bribe the regulators, the law makers and law enforcers on their beat. These truths I hold to be self evident.

      The fact of the matter is, without accountability we are all at the mercy of a broken system that favors the people who lack ethics and morals, and I believe in what Adam Smith spoke of when he wrote of ethics, because it is in our best interests to care for our fellow man and to not allow any one power hold a monopoly of power, regardless of whether that power is economic or political.

      This is what we are fighting for. This is what Democracy looks like; accountability.

      People within the private sector broke the law. Corporations broke the law. Corrupt politicians broke the law, or re-wrote the laws to make sure accountability would never happen. There must be consequences within the rule of law for those that break it."

      That depends on the severity of the "consequences within the rule of law for those that break it." if no options are left for penalties in the criminal justice system then it will force more radical and desperate measures to be taken.

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH2GuzV_6_U

      It is very likely that Governor Marquis Bernard de Launay thought the same thing that "Not in our Life Time as many of us have clearly seen." but that didn't stop him from geting "beaten, stabbed and decapitated; his head was placed on a pike and paraded about the city" when the masses of people finally got fed up with the way things were run.

      Because "At the end of the day, without accountability there is no justice, and if there is no justice there can be no peace" so it is inevitable that those consequences are paid for accountability, it just depends on how high the costs are.

      all thumbs up! accountability is key. traditional checks & balances have become inadequate, and government has proved that it can no more appropriately police itself than the corporations can. but to have accountability, we must have independent public oversight bodies which do not depend upon government appointments or funding. They should be directly elected by the public and funded by public mandate. any and all violations should receive penalties equal to all those who commit treason and betray their country, because that is what nearly all in government are currently doing. this is why we will never see the current Congress pass such legislation. they wallow in their crimes like hogs in mud. Therefore, we must have direct National Referendum Voting so that we, the People, can enact the laws which our Constitution intended for us to do.

      Argon, dear sir, we have already paid as high a price as can be paid, with life; hundreds of thousands of corporate purposed deaths, liberty; is our illusion, and the pursuit of happiness; the corporate right to sieze it from us has been legislated. the question on this issue is, how much longer are we willing to pay this price.

      Actually I meant the price of the consequences for "breaking the social contract" if remedies within the criminal justice system can be applied and crimes can be punished to hold those accountable then that's a lower cost than if "the rule of law" is ignored and methods have to become more drastic.

    • Karl Rove should have gone to jail for so many of his major crimes, it's a disgrace that pos is still at-large continuing his tradition of dirty-tricks. He even looks like a evil little storey-book character shat right up outta hell.

      More power to the heroes like Elizabeth Warren fighting the absolute scum-of-the-earth like him! We desperately need more people like her!

      http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/12/09/1043734/-Elizabeth-Warren-unloads-on-Ka...

      "Since attacking Elizabeth Warren for being too close to Occupy Wall Street was failing miserably, yesterday Karl Rove rolled out an Orwellian new message: attacking Elizabeth Warren for being too close to Wall Street.

      On Lawrence O'Donnell last night, Warren was in vintage form as she hit back against this bullshit. "Their strategy now is the kitchen sink strategy. Throw everything you can at her and let’s see what happens. I go down to Washington and I’m calling them out for it. I’m calling them out on executive bonuses. I’m calling them out on the fact that they’re giving this money, no strings attached. And I get attacked for it."

      Did you see the Ed Show thursday night? He said that Scott Brown voted in FAVOR of the middle class tax break ... and don't we know exactly why? He KNOWS he's losing to her so he voted in favor of his constituents for probably the first and last time ever b/c he's hoping that will be enough to get him another term in office. It's way too little way too late since he got into office by sucking [up to the] koch[s]!

      Apparently those ads are backfiring on Rove since Warren is ahead in the polls. I guess the people in Mass. aren't falling for his BS.

      "Warren leads Brown by a 49-42 percent margin, outside the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 5.3 percentage points. the new poll represents a 10-point swing in Warren’s favor in less than two months.

      The new poll results are bound to send more shockwaves across the country, where Democrats and Republicans are closely watching to see whether the Harvard Law professor can knock off one of the GOP’s rising stars. The Massachusetts race could determine the balance of power in the U.S. Senate and Democrats are making the race one of their top priorities."

      I agree, but to the Best of my recollection, both houses were controlled by the dems in the first two years of BO's administration, and sadly didn't accomplish a whole lot... That could just be how I viewed it, but I am pretty sure there is much truth in what I just said...

I really thought BO was going to get things done... I was looking forward to some old fashioned Diplomacy and some Bitch slapping as well, but had to settle for BiPartisan??? Did BO not see that it didn't work the first time??? Is BO worthy of another 4 years???

    • Good post KB. Yep..yep. She's smooth and she's cool. Would have liked to see her head up the CPA but I understand the issues. Don't like 'em, but understand 'em. But she handled it in a very classy way.
      I think she's the real deal. I also think this is going to get ugly. The GOP knows that if they don't beat her now she'll almost surely be there for as long as she wants the job.
      You folks in Mass., let's get this one. If you bust ass and nail this one down you can probably cruise through the next 2 or 3 elections and focus your efforts elsewhere.
