yeesh...the GOP is really afraid of Elizabeth Warren.

To be fair, if a Teabag-associated Republican is able to beat a liberal who is openly advocating for the people and not the richest 1% in Massachusetts, there's no hope left for the Democratic Party.

yeah, but Elizabeth Warren has gotten some air time nation wide. I think I even caught Limbaugh ranting about her a couple/few times. that's how you know you've made the big time - when Limbaugh says he hates yer guts then you know you're kind of a big deal.

I've read a few things on her, and what she talks about seems like common sense to me. she's not over the top and while I think I might quibble with her on some relatively minor details she seems like a reasonable sort of person. I'm not sure what it is she said that pissed off so many republicans.

well yeah, but a lot of people are saying that sort of thing these days. it's hardly unique. And if the GOP spends all its time running down and yelling at each and every person who stands up and says 'f*ck the 1%' then they're going to go broke before next tuesday.

Fortunately, it's Massachusetts where most people don't have a weird phobia against the educated. Calling someone a "Professor" might seem like an insult in the Bible Belt but that doesn't really fly in New England, where some of the oldest and most prestigious schools in America are.

That's not a particularly useful strategy.

The Republicans are looking at long-term strategy here. The lie-berals in Taxachusetts would elect a liberal even if he or she was running against Ronald Reagan. This is branding for the future of the Warren Party. While Northern Liberals will never be intelligent enough to understand the dangers of education, Southerners do. For every single thing you learn, two more questions are created. So in reality, keeping these new questions to a minimum reduces the things that you do not know.

Seeing as Brownie needs to find 250,000 new votes and keep everyone that voted for him in 2010 just to tie the thing, I'd say they have the narrative right. Sucks for him, but it's his own fault for not broadening his base over the past two years. All those goosestep votes with the GOP, and putting his fingers in the financial cookie jar isn't going to make finding them easy.

Warren on the other hand is the anti-Coakley. People like her, shes genuine, and people want to help her get elected. He volunteer meetings so far have drawn thousands.

Hense the Rove attack ads.

Christine O'Donnell is unamused, nay, *shocked* at this satanic revelation.

The Senate would be a better place filled with more Scott Browns, and less Elizabeth Warrens. But, for the DNC, she's the great hope, with other state-wide female Democrats inducing facepalms at the inhalation breath to speak.

Mike Lowell is an intentional troll. He is not a paid shill or a desperate believer. Sometimes he breaks character, which is mainly how we discovered his true nature. Nobody knows why Mike Lowell is a troll, we just know that he's here for his own personal amusement. He's kind of like Arcade (new window) from the Marvel comics.

I genuinely appreciate the fact that your response was comprised of six words and superfluous ellipsis without any elucidating information or sources supporting your point of view. You are not merely intellectually bankrupt, you are morally bankrupt. You are an evil person.

The burden of proof against my statement rests not on your internet persona but on your soul. You are an evil person and you will suffer eternally for your sins. You have a chance, though. You can repair your soul. I extend my hand to you: put right what once went wrong. Christ himself warned against people who would speak as you do and who would live as you do. Take my hand.

fusillade762: She said no one gets rich on their own. Our tax dollars create the infrastructure that business owners require to thrive. So suck it up and pay your fair share, one percenters. That easily digestible truth is what they're scared of.

My issue with her is that they already did. Nothing is free. When businesses ship goods, they pay companies which in turn pay taxes and fees like fuel taxes, vehicle registration, various apportionments to different states, etc.

Both companies pay taxes for property, payroll, etc.

Everyone has paid what was required. Now she's saying they shouldn't oppose paying more simply because they used the infrastructure (that they already paid to use). She leaves the part in parentheses off.

It's a bit like saying I owe a percentage to Sprint because I used their network to transmit a successful stock transmission, or perhaps I owe a tax to Cox communications because I used their network to send my resume for a newer better paying job. Most people would instantly call bullshiat because I already paid for Sprint and/or Cox.

If there's a problem with the fees for the infrastructure not matching the costs of maintaining/building that infrastructure, then the appropriate place to deal with that disparity is with the set of fees that are ostensibly set up to fund that infrastructure. It's inappropriate and ripe for abuse to say that I have to pay fees in one area to make up for the fees you didn't ask for nor collect in another.

Imagine the manager of an apartment complex raising everyone's rent and justifying it because you use water (which is already collected in a separate itemized bill). If water costs to the complex were higher then water rates charged to tenants, the only proper response I can see is to raise billed water rates to cover the actual rates of supplying water to the complex.

On another note, do any congresspeople ever introduce bills that require the additional money raised be used building or improving roads or schools?
