You know after reading that I want Warren to be Hillary's running mate in 2016 do badly I can taste it.
Damn that's good stuff!
I don't want her to be the VP candidate. She is doing too much good in Congress. We need her there.
ReplyDeleteLet's keep the majority in the Senate and give her and the other Dems in the Senate a Democratic House that actually works. Just think about how much they could accomplish!
DeleteThe Clintons are incredibly wealthy people who move in the circles of the same wealthy and powerful people who have inordinate control over our democracy and society, they are friends and peers with them…so is it most likely that if elected, she’s going to hammer her best friends to help “the others”?
ReplyDeleteHer quickness and lack of hesitation or conscience to spin and stab Obama in the back as referenced at the top of this article and her dishonesty about her and Bill leaving the White House “dead broke” revive that creepy feeling in me that I had about her in 2008…that she may be what we used to call…”A Republican”.

How about one more, having the balls to come out and say it is time to end the big corporate, big government, militarized, racially biased, irrational, perpetual, war on drugs.
ReplyDeleteRegardless Gryph, with all respect, Warren says a lot of things that all sound good, maybe or maybe not she means it- I'd certainly like to think she does. However Clinton is a corporate lap dog thru and thru- always has been, always will be, don't kid yourself. The duo would not be compatible, and will not happen for that very reason if Warren is true to what she says.
I'd like to see an end to subsidies and tax breaks for big corporations.
DeleteBut at some point, you have to stop or you have a laundry list.
Clinton/Warren 2016! Here you have international policy experience paired with domestic humanitarianism. PERFECT!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great list!
ReplyDeleteI'd vote for Warren, no question. She's GREAT!
So proud she is my Senator!! Love her!!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for sharing her with the rest of us. She may represent you but she helps all of us!
DeleteI hope she does run with or without Hillary, we need her!
ReplyDeleteWould absolutely love to see Warren as the lead ticket and Hillary as her running mate.
ReplyDeleteYES! Where is a list like this from Hillary?? -- also, and this is my prediction: She will not live to run in 2016.
DeleteI do believe she has serious health problems. I think Warren knows this and will be primed to take over.
I would vote for Warren before Clinton who is too "old boy" network for me.
She did Martin Luther one better. She stuck the what does this mean into the commandment. Most excellent, said the girl who was catechized with Luther's Small Catechism on her shoes for crib notes.
ReplyDeleteMartin Luther didn't write the Ten Commandments.
DeleteHe wrote the 95 Theses.
When you consider how the "other" side has hamstrung President Obama, being the HBIC isn't all that attractive. Leave Elizabeth Warren right where she is, in the Senate, where she has the opportunity to develop as a real leader in the necessary evolution of Congress as a true legislative body
ReplyDeleteI prefer Warren run for president, not Hillary.
ReplyDeleteI concur.!
DeleteDITTO. 1%-er Hillary would be no different from Obama in too many ways - Bank/Corporation/Wall Street-coddling and NSA-enabling, I am so over the Clintons, both of them. If Warren won't run, and she sounds serious about not doing so, I hope Clinton decides not to run either. After the Trojan horse inhabitant Obama turned out to be, I hesitate to state any preferences, because I don't trust any of them. But we DO know what we'd be getting with Hillary and I don't want it.
DeleteWho else is there? -- the Dems should be concerned there is not a high-profile fighter (outside of Warren) to run if Hillary doesn't live to 2016.
DeleteIf she does & looks weakened over the grueling years of running -- and continues to have no "common-touch" platform (as does Warren) she will not win and then we have a REAL problem. Progressives are screwed. The Supreme Court will be Right-Wing for decades... so much for Roe v. Wade, Obamacare, etc., etc.
Separation of church and state -- what little there is now will disappear.
I'll take my chances with Hillary, thank you.
DeleteI would never speculate about anyone's impending death. Not even Sarah Palin. But if I were to, I'd put good money on Clinton "outliving" you, Ms. Carlson.
DeleteHilary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren - dream team for 2016 !
ReplyDeleteOT - - I know you won't be able to answer this directly, so I am hoping you can tell us a "fictional" tale (changing names etc.) at some point when it is safe to reveal the "fictional" corruption -- I know many of us are concerned for Malia - her safety and her family's safety is the most important thing. Is there anything we can do ? Were the threats she received related to the post she took down and/or the Palin's ? It breaks my heart that the government could be this corrupt that a person who is willing to keep fighting for the truth is threatened. I know we can't speculate about Shailey - I wish her only the very best for her and her children. (But we all have eyes and a brain - and know what was scheduled on that date that it happened - we may not be able to say anything but the truth HAS to be kept alive and be revealed some day - at least I have to believe that in order to sleep at night). Are you safe ? Feels so helpless that there isn't more we can do except offer words of support and encouragement and gratitude for all you and Malia have done and keep on doing.
Sorry to be a wet blanket, but I think Hillary has a much better chance of winning with a male running mate. Voters that might not vote for a women will vote for her if she has a male VP. My rule of thumb is you don't vote for the President, you vote for the Vice President, just in case something happens.
DeleteTwo women on the ticket weakens Hillary's chance of winning, no matter who it is.
Right now, Elizabeth is more valuable right where she is. What we need to do is give her a Democratic majority in the Senate and the House.
Sorry off topic but you should know Gryphen you were right on target about a Scarah rant about the show True Blood, her screed is on Britefart, you know the war on women etc. etc. and blah blah also too.
ReplyDeleteOMG this woman is nuts.
ReplyDeleteAnd Hobby Lobby did nothing wrong. they don't deny anything. Liberals are PROS for twisting things.
Are you talking about Sarah?
DeleteNo, Hobby Lobby are just right wing talibangelical HYPOCRITES who want to control their employees. They take the slave in wage slave literally.
DeleteThat makes Hobby Lobby FASCISTS!
and… while they pretend to be pro life (where controlling their employees is concerned) they are not at all in their investments. And their arguments (which the Stupid-5 on SCOTUS didn't question) were anti science.
DeleteSo glad you described yourself before proceeding to make a stupid statement
Delete"OMG this woman is nuts"
That was awesomely nice of you.
AMEN!
ReplyDeleteHow about all naysayers who comment here without giving their name or anything else, just a stupid comment, with no facts, just opinions. They all sign off w/ anonymous, like the cowards they are. My basic opinion of them falls into 2 catagories--Loser men who want bang sarah , and loser chicks too dumb to read the truth and want to BE sarah palin, yes, I said it...
ReplyDeleteTap Duncan
Tap, why did you use anonymous then? Use Tap Duncan at the top if that's your name. Is Tap a nickname or is that your given name?
DeleteSarah Palin
South Carolina.
DeleteExplains it all.
When Todd Palin gets convicted and thrown into the Pen will he be gay for the stay or was he always gay. Questions, questions.
ReplyDeleteI ,personally, cannot summon up any enthusiasm for Hillary.........Elizabeth?.....well that's another story.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth is doing a wonderful job in the Senate. Who could you vote for if Elizabeth likes where she's at and won't run at the top of the Democratic ticket then, 1:50?
Delete2:48.......I'd have to hold my nose as I have for every election my adult life.......anyone not a Republican....
DeleteI voted for Humphrey, McGovern, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Clinton, Gore, Kerry and Obama.
DeleteAnd you know what, 2:48? I never once held my nose.
Liz L.............me too also vote wise......still held my nose........Except for Obama.....I allowed him to walk me down the primrose path.......but,given the alternatives..(McCain,Mittens)(Mr. Angry and the Bishop)......I feel I acted correctly......
DeleteI understand putting it out as commandments helps the right to understand exactly what it is, but I'd rather refer to it as the Progressives' Bill of Rights.
ReplyDeleteI believe she's right on all points. A Hillary Warren ticket would do the world good. Whatever role Elizabeth Warren takes, she'll whip ass for the middle class and poor. Her future's bright beyond compare. I defy anyone to find one Republican with the courage of their convictions this one lady demonstrates, time and time again.
ReplyDeleteRon Paul. No I'm not kidding.
DeleteI want Warren at the top of the ticket so bad I can taste it. Hillary for VP. I'll vote for them either way.
ReplyDeleteMr G, are you going to tell us what's happening with Malia Litman? I hope so. Whatever is happening needs light on it, not dark.
ReplyDeleteI like Elizabeth Warren so much, it scares me. I don't want her to get beat up.....I'm afraid what those EVIL, EVIL Conservative A-holes will do to her. Women need to take over America....it's our turn. Old White men-fucks need to go away!
ReplyDeleteWarren and the Kentucky woman. "The fight is between you and me Mitch"
ReplyDeletePlease enough with the Hillary nonsense. Her time has come and gone. Warren has the ideas and the nerve - it is her time.
ReplyDeletePelosi, Ellison, and Warren would set the Democrats back another 20 years. Most of the attention needs to be spent on the working Americans. These are the Americans who want to work and carry their own weight. The people who were once the backbone of the Democratic Party.
