Sen. Elizabeth Warren to liberals: I’m fighting back
Fresno Bee ^ | July 18, 2014 | By Lesley Clark, McClatchy

DETROIT — Sen. Elizabeth Warren wowed a friendly crowd of influential liberal activists Friday in Detroit, pledging to fight against Republicans and the “sleazy lobbyists” she says have rigged the rules in Washington and harmed the middle class.

Warren took the stage in a crowded ballroom to calls of “Run, Liz, run” by activists waving “Elizabeth Warren for President” signs and did little to disappoint.

Speaking before the nation’s largest gathering of liberal activists, she railed against giant corporations, secret trade deals and Republicans she said were too cozy with big business.

Conservatives, she charged, are “guided by an internal motto: ‘I got mine; the rest of you are on your own.’ ”

She touted what she said are liberal values, including combating climate change, raising the minimum wage, mandating equal pay, protecting Social Security and revamping immigration law. And she drew loud applause as she vowed to “fight” the Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision on contraceptives.

She is nothing but a puppet for Obama to have a 3rd term.

If she was ever nominated, he would apply to be her “VP”.

If she managed to win, she will either be nothing but a figurehead, or she will be “disposed” of.

Where can I send money? Which primaries and caucuses will she contest in? I am willing to bet on a epic defeat in the general. I know. I know. Same thing was said about 0bama over Clinton; that is why it is a “bet”.

I am at complete confusion as how to combat the lunacy of those who believe what Warren just said. Nothing you can say or do to make them see the truth. I used to question my mother as to how the Nazi’s came to power but I think I’m just witnessing it.

Conservatives, she charged, are “guided by an internal motto: ‘I got mine; the rest of you are on your own.’ ”

Not conservatives - but regarding the GOPe, at least, it's hard to disagree.

The depths to which the Commonwealth has sunk politically is reflected by this embarrassment who is now Senior senator from the People’s Republic.

I almost miss Teddy.

Fighting back? Her team has been in charge for 40 years. Nice little Marxist cliche.

Pray America wakes up
