Elizabeth Warren apparently never heard of the Chinese bubble and Stimulus

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 27, 2012 38 Comments

Elizabeth Warren is punching back against her own embarrassing "no one got rich on his own" rant and Scott Brown's devastating viral (350k+ 800k views) video. Warren is doing so by insisting that we need to catch up with China on infrastructure spending. Warren's campaign just released this ad: Warren has just...

Rahm Emanuel, Moreno out-of-touch with #Chicago Values

Posted by Anne Segal on July 27, 2012 48 Comments

Chicagoans are used to politicians running roughshod over our city. It's a war zone today, but not just from the drug cartel and gang shootings that are ravaging our neighborhoods. The politicians from the local up to the federal think they're little kings, who use...

Elizabeth Warren criticized by liberal supporter for almost all-white campaign HQ photo

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 26, 2012 68 Comments

Brown: Elizabeth Warren “a self-proclaimed rock thrower who wants to leave blood and teeth on the floor”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on July 26, 2012 26 Comments

I think this is a winning theme, that Warren will be the Dennis Kucinich / Maurice Hinchey of the Senate, someone who can spout far-left rhetoric and play the anti-factory owner card, but will be marginalized as a Senator. If the people of Massachusetts want someone...
