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 whos 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. Thats what I think is at stake in this election.
Thats 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.

Granny Warren is a Seat Holder for Joke3. She will serve two years of her term if she wins and then after he has one Congressional term under his belt, she will step down and Deval will appoint him to “the Kennedy seat”. Why do you think no one from the House stepped up and they state Dem party got someone from Oklahoma to run.
