LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Elizabeth Warren. My only regret is that I have but one vote to give to this FABULOUS candidate we in Massachusetts are so LUCKY to get the chance to elect. And elect her we will. The people of Mass are SMART and so is Elizabeth Warren in triplicate. I have never witnessed a better candidate in my decades of observing the political scene. She is going to WIN and win BIG!!

Just another liberal to keep Massachusetts running as a Social Welfare State.
You think you taxes are high now just wait if she gets in.
Your buddy Obama is doing a heck of a Job with all the promises he made....LOL
The country is in the worse condition it's ever been in and who are the people in charge now?
Keep dreamin...as our future turns in a nightmare....and the worse thing about it most of you don't see it coming.

I love Elizabeth Warren - she's not afraid to call people out on their decisions. She was charged with creating a consumer protection bureau and all the PTB were so happy. She turned over every rock and leaf and exposed all the slimy creatures that lived beneath - the corrupt banks, the ways in which credit cards use perpetual loopholes to cheat consumers, the ways in which laws that were established to PROTECT people against banking policies were actually used AGAINST them and all those same PTB decried her final product. Someone who is willing to do whatever it takes to make it real is who we need now................

As far as Obama not getting things done, I have two words for you - "Bin Laden". But on a more serious note, it would be impossible for ANY president to accomplish anything when the first words out of the Republicans when he was elected were "We will make sure he gets nothing done". Seriously? Grow UP already!

And lastly, anyone with any knowledge of history will tell you that the problems Obama is dealing with right now are the results of the terrible, selfish, misguided decisions made and put into action by the previous administration. It takes between 2 and 3 years for the full impact of any administration's effect to be seen and guess what - we are in the middle of all the "Bush-it" that Cheney and his muppet got rolling.

We need MORE people like Elizabeth Warren! It is my fervent hope that some day she runs for President!

Brenda.....Bin Laden????? What does he have to do with anything? He had nothing to to with 911 and the whole reason why we went into Iraq. The Power of Nightmares video
will set you straight on that lie...

In regards to Republicans or Democrats....there is no difference between them.
Our Govt. is run by special interest PERIOD! And that interest is not for you or me.
All politicians are just puppets of the money masters. Those who control the ,money control the politicians.
The only one that I see straying away from that mold is Ron Paul....but I will have a wait and see attitude on him too as most in Congress are answerable to AIPAC.
Without AIPAC's approval most politicians will financially die by the wayside, as all money that is put forward is done by them and their 100,000 members.
AIPAC has their own agenda and it's not for the USA's interests.
Jim@ccfiile.com

I meant that under Obama's aegis, Bin Laden was removed from threat, along with Anwar al-Awlaki, Samir Khan and other Al Qaeda operatives, something Cheney and the Muppet were unable to do.

If you are at all concerned about eradicating special interest initiatives you aren't likely to find someone more capable and WILLING then Elizabeth Warren. (Betcha you won't read it, James.)

Brown doesn't have a prayer . His win was a fluke. Off cycle, Kennedy family arrogance and a weak opponent.
Warren is classic Mass and a woman too.

To see Elizabeth Warren talking with about 300+ of your Metrowest neighbors, see the playlist of a 3-part video at:
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE41A4021BA5A5DE5

Brenda....I read anything you'll throw at me...Very good article....long but good.....
She definitely seems she wasn't part of the of the "Good Ole Boy' Network"
It also seems like she was "thrown" under the bus as they say., by Obama.
Personally she is smart as a whip...and Brown is going to have his hands full with her.
I'm still wary of the AIPAC connection. If they back her then we're doomed.
Jim@ccfiile.com

ELIZABETH WARREN makes me have hope that logic and reason can make a come back bringing enlightenment principals back to the political arena. She speaks to the citizenry as adults that can work to fix our problems. We need to role our sleeves up and start working. She is awesome. Read her books watch her interviews on you tube before you listen to propaganda.

Tiffany.....Our problems are so beyond her it isn't funny.
If you think she is the Messiah, keep dreamin.
The whole country has lost it's way....she is only I cog on the wheel.
Her "propaganda" is no different than anyone elses, if her support is coming from special interest.
I'm sure she mean well, but she's going against a system that is in place to fleece the citizens.
Congress is controlled by AIPAC....if she is part of it, like I said before, then there is no hope. We need more people like Ron Paul.....but I don't see that happening.
Jim@ccfiile.com

Senator Brown has my full support! Elizabeth Warren will be beholden to her high-finance pals on Wall Street. She is not to be trusted

Warren is another annoying liberal whose arrogance and hypocracy is second to none. She admonishes and scolds wall street capitalists, while she takes $2M$2M in campaign contributios - fraud, thy name is Liz

She is an elite snot who makes a ton of money, pretends she is a regular gal, hasn't filed the necessary financial disclosure forms, and wants to expand our already bloated, deficit-choked, over-reaching bureaucratic federal government! Scott Brown represents regular, working, paying Massachusetts' citizens much better than any Democrat poseur ever will.

I think it's pretty funny that you are so ready to hail Obama as the reason some bad terrorists were killed. Yeah, sure. He can't let the rest of the terrorist killers out of Guantanamo fast enough, wanted to try the plotters as civilians in regular court...never mind his own self-interests being more important than the country's interests in succeeding in Iraq or Afghanistan. Oh, and the fact that it was Bill Clinton who could have easily killed Osama bin Laden off at least two times and didn't, once cause he didn't want to have his golf match disturbed, Obama is not the hero in the take down of Osama bin Laden. The Navy Seals are.

Thanks everyone for your comments.
Just a reminder that it is Patch Policy to use your real first & last name. We ask that you do not use fake names or an alias like Susan8712 ...
"Patch believes in transparency, and we ask that all your registration information be truthful."
For more on our policy read here: http://framingham.patch.com/terms

Susan - requiring real first and last names for posts is a good policy! Why doesn't Patch require one to log in with a user name a password that requires a profile etc. that displays full name, if one is found to be using a fake name then block their profile.

@Brian - I have blocked accounts on Framingham Patch that are obvious fake names ... (In fact, I blocked a "Len Bias" on Friday.)
I always allow everyone a little latitude at first to update their profiles, after bringing the policy to their attention ...

Interesting!...... Scott Brown has the lead.

I keep hearing that Elizabeth Warren is smart. However, one of her attacks on business and wall street was so off based that I was floored. She had made a comment about how the average tax payer had paid for the infrastructure that businesses use to become greedy and wealthy. Well correct me if I'm wrong, but in order for the average tax payer to pay their share of taxes that in fact do help pay for our infrastructure, they must first have a job, which is provided by business. So now lets see, businesses pay taxes, then they pay their employees who then pay taxes. Those taxes that are paid, come from the income each citizen receives by the business in which they work. So without business providing jobs we (the tax payer) would not have income to pay the taxes needed to keep up the infrastructure. So lets keep demonizing business and cutting them down through class warfare and see how that helps in providing the taxes needed for all these entitlement programs and government pensions. Business did not bring down the economy, it was the housing market specifically through Fannie and Freddie who relaxed the standards needed to purchase homes. The tax payers could sustain billion dollar losses when it came to the foreclosure rate. However, the housing market took losses in the trillions which couldn't be sustained using tax payer money. Those who couldn't afford homes were setup to fail through unsustainable policies that ultimately took us all down and collapsed the system.

Scott, I have heard that too, and at the time I heard Elizabeth Warren make that comment she was referencing all the consumers who have used credit cards and lax credit requirements on the parts of mortgage banks to live beyond their actual means. There is no doubt that this country's generalized reliance on credit rather than tangible assets has led to the implosion of our economy. That was part of the reason she took on the consumer protection project; for every person who understands that they are taking a risk by overextending themselves on credit, there are two people who just don't get it and of course the banks aren't going to do anything to help enlighten them. This is precisely why we need someone like Elizabeth Warren; it's time someone was up front about why we are where we are and what we can do about it!

This is what I posted to the Norma Shulman video on Elizabeth Warren.
>>Said really nothing. We have debt because we are fighting wars for Israel. Where is her stand on that? Money that could go to infrastructure is going to wars we need not to be in. As to General Electric paying no taxes, Obviously there is more to the story. No different than YOU the taxpayer leveling the field when you pay YOUR taxes with write offs. Get out of our trillion dollar wars and get back your country. Tell Israel to go to hell. Warren and even Brown won't do that.>>

AIPAC runs this country. I'd suggest you all watch the video the "Orange and the pea"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOZZ5zGAWKE

I watched and read all the video and post links here, read and view mine.....

Joe

Why we are where we are now! I've already explained it....
How about the foreclosures that none of you have commented about?
I guess I must be dreaming again. How many in the last 5 yrs....at least 500 probably way more.
Speaking of credit cards debt....who do you think have run that up too?
The same people that have the foreclosures.....Hmmmm...lets not bring that subject up here.
Elizabeth Warren has mentioned nothing about the mortgage mess and who is really behind that...So you want me to trust her and she is supposedly the expert?
I know more about the mortgage than her. I can take you step by step from the beginning and show you how it all came about.
So why is she (and most others) are so quiet about it?
If the public really knew what was going on they would be steaming mad....
Guess it's better to leave everyone in the dark and make it look like everything is just fine.
It's called Denial......and it's is not a river in the Middle east.
Jim@ccfiile.com

I want both candidates.

I am so excited to have a Senator Warren instead of a Senator Brown. Senator Brown has failed to live up to his "Maverick" expectations, and has been a reliable party stooge for the GOP. He perpetuates failed economic policies of the GOP, which have lead to the largest class divide since the Great Depression.

Ben and others.....Like it makes a difference who gets in...LOL
It actually comes down to which candidate is going to do the most harm.
What candidates have made your life better? That's the candidate you're going to vote for, which for a lack of a better word is selfish.
As I see it now Warren is for Social System Haven....Give everyone all their "entitlements" that's pretty much what Democrats are for, and Brown isn't.
These cost will and are bankrupting us end of story...
With either candidates in comes down to what way do you want to die....a slow death or a fast death at least for us older ones.
Jim@ccfiile.com

Ben,

All I'm going to say is that she is running as a Democrat. She is not running as an Independent. Therefore to say that Scott Brown is beholden to the Republican Party and is a stooge, well then, Elizabeth will also be beholden to her party. You usually join a party for a reason and it's not because you're are an independent thinker!!! It's because you agree with the party's philosophy and ideology. I don't believe in either party and when someone makes almost a million dollars in income, and the system has served them well, and then proceeds to say they are for the people, well then I raise an eye brow. That's like John Kerry saying we must raise taxes and then hides his boat so he doesn't have to pay his share of taxes. The hypocrisy on both sides has no end. The only thing that gives power to this hypocrisy are those that follow it thinking that each candidate will be different. They all go to Washington and become part of it and both sides have done their share to hurt this country.

@Jim - Scott Brown is for incredibly low corporate tax rates and low tax rates on the wealthiest Americans, and that is part of what is bankrupting America - that and a decade of wars we didn't need to fight. I simply cannot support him.

@Scott, I don't disagree that Elizabeth Warren will be a solid Democrat. However, Scott Brown campaigned on the promise that he would not be a mouthpiece in lockstep wtih the GOP leadership. However, he votes with his party on nearly all votes. So, I call him a party stooge because he promised not to be and failed to deliver.

Ben....They all do that.
