PROVIDENCE, R.I. With a voice hoarse not from last weeks Massachusetts Democratic convention, but from the parties, she said, Elizabeth Warren took the stage at the annual Netroots Nation conference here Friday afternoon with a clear goal: link her GOP opponent, Sen. Scott Brown, to the presumptive GOP nominee, Mitt Romney.
The Harvard professor and Democratic Senate nominee made no mention in her 10-minute remarks of the months-long flap over her Native American heritage, an imbroglio that the Brown campaign as seized upon and that polls suggest could take a toll on Warren in November.
Rather, Warrens only allusion to the episode came as she told the cavernous hall of nearly 3,000 progressive activists that she remains determined to stay in the race for the same reasons she jumped into it.
Let me make clear, I am not backing down, Warren said to loud applause.
As she seeks to unseat Brown in what stands to be among this years most competitive (and expensive) Senate battles, Warren on Friday repeatedly took aim at the Romney-Brown Republicans on matters ranging from her signature issue of financial regulatory reform to campaign finance and the battle over health insurers and contraception.
The Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, said, Corporations are people. No, Mitt, corporations are not people, she said to cheers. People have hearts. They have kids. They get jobs. They get sick, they laugh, they cry, they dance, they live and they die. Learn the difference.
After pausing again for a long round of applause, Warren added: And Mitt, learn this. We dont run this country for corporations, we run it for people.

Unions are corporations, and I just heard some moonbat on TV say that unions are people.
We don’t run this country for lying sacks of crap that claim minority status for personal gain.
Let me make clear, I am not backing down, Warren said to loud applause.
Absolutely no conscience or common sense
Sorry Fauxchohantas. Without corporations, people don’t have jobs. Without jobs, people don’t pay taxes. Without taxes, YOU don’t have a job. You can’t Google it *itch!
But was she wearing a headdress?
Who’s “we” and what Article and Section of the Constitution are you referencing?
I think this completely sums up the liberal viewpoint.
Or is that a horse voice, kemosabe?
Of course the idiotic occupy crowd will cheer anything anti-corporation but this probably goes right over their heads. Firstly, Warren doesn't run anything other than fraudulent job applications. Secondly, even if she were a senator, they don't "run the country". In fact, the less they do the better the country runs.
Is the free market destined to wear chains and have their labor stolen for the extravagant salaries and benefits of the nonproductive public employee slave owners?
Hanging out with the nutroots ain't gonna help.
Unlike E. W. who would run the country for the benefit of the union thugs.
Who is we, White woman?
One thing I like about FR. Half the time someone writes basically the same thing as me while I am typing. You are spot on with the liberal viewpoint. Two different cultures occupying a single geography.
This woman is a joke. Anyone that would vote for her needs to lose their citizenship for being an idiot.
Another reason why Democrats know nothing about private enterprise and think only the public sector is hurting.
