Progressives turn from Obama to embrace Elizabeth Warren
Washington Post ^ | 07/15/2014 | Robert Costa

SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. — Populist Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) got a rock-star reception during a standing-room-only campaign rally here Monday, as hundreds of liberal activists cheered her broadsides against corporate interests and voiced hopes that her presence might shift the political winds in an increasingly Republican state.

The rally on behalf of Senate candidate Natalie Tennant was the latest in a string of recent Warren appearances in red and blue states alike, where Democratic base voters have embraced her fiery message as an envoy to working-class voters frustrated with both Wall Street and the Obama administration.

“Our job is to fight for the families of America,” Warren said, speaking to a packed ballroom at the Clarion Hotel in West Virginia’s eastern panhandle. “Stitch up the tax loopholes so that millionaires and billionaires pay at the same tax rate as the people in this room.”

Warren stumped in Kentucky late last month for Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes, who, like Tennant, is running for the Senate in a state easily won by Republican Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election. Later this week, the freshman senator and former Harvard professor will be in Michigan supporting Democratic Senate candidate Gary Peters.

Warren also has visited Oregon, Ohio, Washington and Minnesota this year and has made dozens of e-mail solicitations on behalf of Democratic Senate colleagues — an unusually aggressive effort by a senator who has repeatedly denied interest in a presidential campaign. In Kentucky, Warren raised more than $200,000 for Grimes, who is running against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R).

Granny Warren didn’t just elbow whites out of the way by claiming to be an Indian; IIRC she just barely beat out a black woman for her position at Harvard.

” Progressives turn from Obama to embrace Elizabeth Warren “

Any man with an iota of testosterone in his system ought to fear this woman as if he were repeating 5th grade all over again and facing the same grey-haired battle-axes for the 2nd year in a row ...

No way. This isn’t some unknown with a buried record to run against. She has more dirt on her than Iowa corn field, she might get the moonbats to roll out for her but even mostly insane liberals are going to have hard time pulling the lever for someone that lied about being a Native American to get a teaching gig at Harvard. Her anti free market rhetoric doesn’t play to anyone but the moonbats.

If the media props her up, she gets elected. And they will. That fake Indian crap can be dismissed just like Clinton’s affair with Gennifer Flowers.

Doubt it. Voter fraud is too strong. They are now guaranteed Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania and probably Florida by paid precinct captains.

The media loves Warren. They're not gonna report any of her hypocrisy.

HARVARD HIRED HER AS AN INDIAN and she was STILL elected in Ma.

Said the Millionaire to Millionaires and Billionaires in the room.

So any Democrat is going to win? Guess we might as well just give up now then.

She is as dangerous a candidate as can be and needs to be smoked out early.

Obama got the stupid women vote too. But blacks who turned out for him in droves won’t be thrilled about a Hahvahd white woman.

This fauxahontas liar is all the DIMocRATs could hope for: a history of lieing and a sense of unsurpassed gall. This squaw is beyond any sense of dignity or honor.

Ok, stay gloomy, it seems to work for you.

I on the other hand, chose to realize that the majority of people are sick to death of this spiral into hell.

Warren will be exposed, and hopefully YOU will be part of sounding the bell of truth!

I’ve been telling everybody I know.

The liberals I know either #1 - don’t care or #2 excuse it “well that Republican did that and you didn’t care”
