honored the Marquis of Queensbury rules (or any other, for that matter) and their gloves have been off for decades.

It's true, you know, although I realize how that post could have been misread.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]The way I read it, the the poster is comparing Warren's aggressiveness (despite being a freshman senator) to that of Paul and Cruz, who are also freshmen. He was not equating their policy positions.

He even tries to clarify it at one point, saying how times have changed from Sen./SoS Clinton's senatorial debut, when the freshmen kept a lower profile until they gained some seniority.

I agree. Senator Warren is aggressive and I'm thrilled about it -- just as the teabaggers are gleeful when Paul and Cruz do lots of conservative saber rattling.

It started when altMedia & Ralph Nader equated W and Gore as one and the same

then W and Kerry
and then started in with the other legendary liberals like Tom Daschle, Bruce Babbitt and Dick Gephardt, and Paul Simon and all the other beautiful people being equated with the rightwing conservatives and republicans

And all the people who say DINO and aren't talking about Dean Martin

I gotta laugh at the woe is me here.

By the same altMedia who hate Bill Clinton and Barack Obama and the same altmedia
that made Rand Paul so dear to them recently.
(Also the same Alt Media that makes Ike a person to be admired and never would have voted for either Adlai or later on Jimmy Carter when Reagan became Ike2.

Oh, what a tangled web the alt Media weaved, when they practiced to deceive (and lie like Ralph Nader and Ron Paul did.)


If only the protest voters in 2010 didn't say stay home it don't matter
and if only so many Americans in 1980 (like Elizabeth Warren, but hey, i for one don't hold grudges like so many in the altMedia does) didn't vote for Ronnie Reagan and then 41 back then, and voted for Jimmy Carter, well, then nothing like Bush ever would have happened.

But they didn't.

Think any of those will ever apologize or see the folly in what they did?

Again, me I am working to reelect Elizabeth Warren in 2018,2024,2030, 2036,2042,2048,2054,2060 and make her the singular greatest Senator since LBJ was #1.

A proud supporter of Elizabeth Warren for Senator and to remain Senator.
And one of the original people who wanted a separate Elizabeth Warren group so that Mass. can remain Warren.

As they become increasingly concerned that HillaWar's inevitability is on the ropes, and that the bankers might soon have to comply with things called "laws", the Third-Way crowd will grow increasingly agitated.

of the Party Bosses, the Party Machine, the corporations and the Party Faithful and that's it. I saw a real grassroots effort when Dean ran for the nomination but I've NEVER seen grassroots support at this level and this early on. Plus she's got a whole lot of liberal organizations supporting her -- liberal organizations who have looked out over the wasteland that is the Democrat's Chosen corporate shills for too long. They and us are ready for a REAL candidate, one who represents US, not the 1%. I swear that if she decides to run in 2016, I will travel to Massachusetts from California on my own dime and sleep in my camper shell if I have to in order to work on her election.
