Why not? This is VERY damning and shows that the naked man isn't just a good old boy who drives around in a pickup truck.

Please post a link to the video you mean, and we can pass it along to the Warren campaign.

(8,742 posts)(and that's "Democrat" with a capital "D" as we're likely to get. And so I doubt she's been getting money from the Koch brothers or any other fat cats.
The Republicans fought tooth and nail to keep her from heading the new consumer protection commission (which Warren pretty much invented and which the GOP also tried to kill) so I don't think it's credible to lump her in with other Democrats on this. Particularly if you're talking about corporate support.

(1,418 posts)I want Warren to win, believe me.. in spite of the fact she was thrown under the bus by Obama.
my point is this is a national election.. what is happening nationally does matter at the state level, and on the point of BIG money, the democrats can't actually
say they are "better" or different from the repugs. nope, no traction

(1,418 posts)what a load..
take your "complaint" to MSM:
"Millions of Americans hoped President Obama would nominate Elizabeth Warren to head the consumer financial watchdog agency she had created. Instead, she was pushed aside. As Warren kicks off her run for Scott Browns Senate seat in Massachusetts, Suzanna Andrews charts the Harvard professors emergence as a champion of the beleaguered middle class, and her fight against a powerful alliance of bankers, lobbyists, and politicians.
On the afternoon of July 18, in remarks from the Rose Garden amid the bruising showdown with congressional Republicans over the debt ceiling, President Obama made what the White House billed as a simple personnel announcement. In a brief speech, the president announced that he was nominating Richard Cordray, the former attorney general of Ohio, to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the new government agency set up to protect consumers from abusive lending practices. In his remarks he described the agency, part of the massive 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as creating the strongest consumer protections in history, set up so ordinary people were dealt with fairly. After which he turned to thank the woman standing to his right, Elizabeth Warren."
thus Obama caved to cretins like Sen "Snakelips" Shelby, who made it clear Warren was a commie, socialist.. whatever.. and would never be approved by the banksters in the senate
