| Go ahead Wall Street, whip it out. Let's take a look at it. |
The senator from Massachusetts said Monday that she will continue to call for financial reforms and for big Wall Street banks to be broken up, despite potential retaliation against Democratic candidates.
Last week, Reuters reported that some banks, including Citigroup (C) and J.P. Morgan (JPM), might withhold campaign contributions to Senate Democrats because of Warren's negative portrayal of Wall Street.
According to Reuters, Goldman Sachs (GS) and Bank of America (BAC) also participated in a meeting to discuss the anti-bank rhetoric, although the idea of withholding donations wasn't talked about. Goldman has already made its donation for the year.
"You bet I believe it's a serious threat," Warren told a packed room at a Barnes & Noble in New York City's Union Square -- a few miles north of Wall Street.
"It is so brazen. If they think they can say in public, 'I don't like your tone, I don't like the way you talk about financial regulation' ... I got news for them: bring it on," the Democrat said.
It is no wonder that Warren has captured the imagination of the progressives in this country, the woman has no fear.
Now the only question is do the rest of the Democrats have her backbone?
And yes I'm looking at you Hillary.
Omigod! First woman POTUS is on fire! I'm voting for her if she runs. Hope she wins the primaries.
ReplyDeleteI thought that Ms. Warren would have a louder voice in the Senate, but as it seems that Ms. Clinton will have some serious IT detriments which may last much longer than originally anticipated. I am leaning toward, if not falling for the idea of a Warren presidency run. It may be a losing proposition and we may just have to hit rock-bottom with the crazy wrong win and take our lumps, but there is a chance that she may be the only one who can pull the lethargic majority of non-voters out of their freakin' recliners and/or off their IT devices long enough to get into the voting booths of this nation. We have work to do, people!
DeleteShe's not running.
Deletehttp://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/elizabeth-warren-gives-strongest-denial-presidential-run-yet
She won't run. She has made it clear she won't run.
DeleteShe feels strongly she needs to be right where she is in the senate keeping an eye on everything and doing everything she can to protect the American people.
Keep on keeping on Elizabeth Warren! You need to stay right where you are until these bankers get their comeuppance and see the inside of a correctional institution.
ReplyDeleteI do hope that the Democrats support Ms. Warren and that we, the voters, ensure that the GOP enablers/takers are shown the door as we invite our democratic candidates in to bring this country back from the brink of failure brought on by the GOP.
Exactly 1smartcanerican. I think she has far more power right where she is. We really only need a good global negotiator and someone with veto power on the side of good to be President if we have intelligent, brave folks like Warren in the House and Senate.
DeleteHer talents would be wasted if the Rs do what they've done to President Obama. It's a crime what they've managed to keep this wonderful, progressive-minded man from accomplishing. Yet, he has already done more than many presidents in spite of them.
Mildred
Agreed, Mildred!
DeleteI love this woman! She really is a rogue, and on the side of the people unlike the Wasilla hillbilly.
ReplyDeleteJust the FACT that those FUCKS-A$$CLOWNS had the NERVE to threaten her like this...proves they have shit to hide. They think SCOTUS and their fairy grandfathers will protect them....most people aren't aware we still have the FTC to complain to. Keep on their asses and Rich DEMS step up and show support.And what they did to her/US is blackmail....Liz I give you permission to rip their flippin' ballz off!!

ReplyDeleteLooking for $10,000 in donations by midnight!
It's a non-election year so the next cutoff date for FEC filing is June 30th with a reporting date of July 31, 2015. Yet this is what Tim Crawford is preaching for SarahPAC...
"Dear [Donor],
Today marks the end of the first quarter, and we need your help to show a strong financial standing.
The far left is looking to us as a symbol of the “whackjobs“. We need to show them that we are strong and united in fighting their anti-American agenda. Our disclosure reports will send a message: that the conservative principles this country were founded on are alive and well.
We have less than ten hours to go until the deadline. When the clock strikes midnight, we have to legally start tallying every donation. We must make this one count, friends. Please show the strength of conservatives all around the country by donating now.
Today, the liberal media has launched attacks against Sarah Palin and everything she stands for. If you agree with her, please donate now. Show the media that patriotism is not something to be ashamed of, but something to be lived out. We need your help by midnight to elect strong American leaders.
Thank you for your support. And let us not forget what makes this country great: those that are willing to fighting for what they believe–you.
Regards,
Tim Crawford

Love the way Sarah and Tim are all distressed by the way what they call the "far left" is looking at her.
DeleteShoot, are they being mean to her?
Sarah, you're such a chickenshit.
Gotta pay for Bristol's wedding dress.
Deletedo you accept foodstamp cards? you do realize many of your suckers are on Welfare. foodstamps and ssi/disabiliity is all these people have to survive. and you want them to send their savings to a lazy ass lay about family of bums. well here's some advice. get a Job. nobody rides for free.
DeleteThat's why I don't have a problem pulling out my wallet to donate to her.
ReplyDeleteThat's not the only thing you're pulling.
DeleteSorry, 3:25, comment not intended for you.
DeleteNo, I don't think many have her backbone or ethics. She is a rare breed of public servant (I won't call her a "politician"). I think Hillary falls into the politician category.
ReplyDeleteGryphen, please check out this letter posted on c4p and perhaps let us know if this is a crock of crap....

Let's face it Barack Obama is a hard act to follow.
DeleteAmen to that, 4:17 PM!
DeleteThere's yer RILL Mama Grizzly!
ReplyDeleteFUC_ YOU SARAH PALIN, you sniveling coward- I hope you keep wasting away from too much speed and keep having that nasty face pulled higher and tighter beyond all recognition. You'll never be beautiful like Elizabeth Warren.
If Elizabeth Warren runs for President of Vice-President she is immediately neutralized and there is NObody to take her place.
ReplyDeleteAll you idiots calling for her to run in 2016 should wake up.
She's made it clear she's not going to run.
DeleteThey can't silence Elizabeth Warren and those banisters along with the Wall St. liars have no sense of shame. Nor do they have one ounce of integrity or honor. I wish some of those corrupt bastards will face charges when this country wakes the hell up! Hate the corruption and it's only getting worse.
ReplyDeleteYeah. These were the bastards we bailed out to keep the financial world from exploding. Too much power. Time to break 'em up. You go Elizabeth! I donate everytime her email hits my inbox. Not much but constant.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth Warren does not have to grovel and beg for money and pretend she is something she is not to get it! Unlike $arah Payme, she would never have to plead for money which would help her pay for her daughters wedding, the booze tab alone for $arah's family would be 10,000 dollars.
ReplyDeleteYou would think her fan club would be getting sick of being asked to cough up more cash when they aren't seeing a payback to their investment but there is no end to the depths of stupid.
Excuse me, Gryphen, but... what exactly is this thing you call a.. a... a backbone?
ReplyDelete~ Hillary

I'm afraid that Hillary is gonna try to make her tone it down, for the money and upcoming election.
ReplyDeleteHillary can stuff it as far as I'm concerned. I would sooo vote for a Warren/Sanders ticket.
