In many ways, Elizabeth Warren is the perfect Democratic Party candidate to follow Obama. First term senator? Check. No major accomplishments to speak of? Check. No executive experience? Check. A questionable life story that the media refuses to investigate? Check. She really has it all.
The progressive base of the Democratic Party recognizes her potential and just like they did with Obama, they’re already creating a cult of personality around her.
If you can stomach it, listen to this new song created by the folks at Ready For Warren.
Allahpundit of Hot Air provides an apt comparison:
It’s not a presidential campaign in America anymore until someone puts their progressive hero-worship for a Clinton challenger to music.The contrast in styles with “Yes We Can” is revealing. That song was celebrity-heavy and hymnal, both of which fed the idea of Obama as icon. He was an object of veneration, the left’s epitome of cool. Warren doesn’t have one one-thousandth his personal charisma and, unlike him circa 2007, she does seem to care about policy on the merits, beyond whether a given position will help or hurt her nascent presidential campaign.
For her part in the transformation of politics into religion, Warren has created a list of progressive commandments.
Emily Roller of National Journal reported:
Elizabeth Warren’s 11 Commandments of ProgressivismSpeaking on Friday at Netroots Nation, a convention for liberal bloggers and activists, Warren got the crowd more fired up than Vice President Joe Biden was able to do the day before. (To be fair, the crowd was in a solemn mood at the time in reaction to the news of the Malaysian passenger plane crash). In her speech, Warren outlined more clearly than other Democrats the social issues that galvanize progressives. Her performance was reminiscent of a certain other young senator in 2008.”What are our values?” Warren asked the audience, some of whom held up “Run Liz Run” signs. “What does it mean to be a progressive?”She went on to outline 11 tenets of progressivism:- “We believe that Wall Street needs stronger rules and tougher enforcement, and we’re willing to fight for it.”- “We believe in science, and that means that we have a responsibility to protect this Earth.”- “We believe that the Internet shouldn’t be rigged to benefit big corporations, and that means real net neutrality.”- “We believe that no one should work full-time and still live in poverty, and that means raising the minimum wage.”- “We believe that fast-food workers deserve a livable wage, and that means that when they take to the picket line, we are proud to fight alongside them.”- “We believe that students are entitled to get an education without being crushed by debt.”- “We believe that after a lifetime of work, people are entitled to retire with dignity, and that means protecting Social Security, Medicare, and pensions.”- “We believe—I can’t believe I have to say this in 2014—we believe in equal pay for equal work.”- “We believe that equal means equal, and that’s true in marriage, it’s true in the workplace, it’s true in all of America.”- “We believe that immigration has made this country strong and vibrant, and that means reform.”- “And we believe that corporations are not people, that women have a right to their bodies. We will overturn Hobby Lobby and we will fight for it. We will fight for it!”
For a woman who’s not running for president, Elizabeth Warren certainly is revving up Democratic primary voters.
It’s just a matter of time before liberals start forcing their children to sing songs about her.
