Elizabeth Warren Rebuts Rove on MSNBC

[coltor9]

She most likely will be our first female President. Obama, may have a winning ticket this time when Biden goes to Secretary of State, with a Obama-Warren or Obama-Clinton ticket.

He has a BIG surprise of his sleeve if Romney gets nominated. If it's Gingrich, he has a different SURPRISE for the GOP, that's for sure.

The plan is for 12 more years of Dems. The GOP will have to try again in 2024 or 2028, if by then they aren't disbanded for their crimes against humanity.

Ms Warren wants to punish people for their success. How dare she who tell us we  do not deserve anything we have worked for; that we owe our success to those who have not worked for it and that she as a non-productive socialist planner is morally superior to the rest of us.

[MpowerdAPE]

@quizerry  who do you "owe"...?

[rkappra]

@quizerry I am so sick of you people. The bankers who Senator Warren wants to regulate, are responsible for the meltdown of our global economy. They should be in prison. It was not a success, unless you consider bank robbers or common thieves also successful and immune from the laws that govern this country.

[quizerry]

@rkappra Ms Warren was on the panel overseeing TARP, they spent $10.5 MILLION of your money and she was paid $192,722 salary. They came up with a plan that virtually allows government to take over banks (bail them out in the future) She may be intelligent and very likable but she has a bizarre way of thinking and is no economist or investment adviser. She believes people that got sub prime loans didn't know they were over leveraged even though they had no savings & their CCs were maxed

[MrCredulousDolt]

@quizerry The fact that Warren was on the oversight panel is not a criticism of Warren. Her job was oversight, not creation; and she called out the scam for what it was. So far, you're an excellent character reference in spite of yourself.

[quizerry]

@MrCredulousDolt In my opinion Bush failed by not not dissolving Fannie and Freddie when he had the chance and now Obama has failed by giving them unlimited funds of our money ($150 billion and counting) and their CEOs big bonuses. You think the last financial bubble was bad? Just wait, the next one will be far worse with Dodd/Frank in place. As far as Warren she may have good intentions but her solutions are wrong that is well noted by major economist.

[MrCredulousDolt]

@quizerry Second,nothing you, or any other BushRoveCheneyBot will ever say will change the plain, simple fact that Bush's obsessions with warfare, privatization, and deregulation brought about the precise conditions under which your poor, poor banks *needed* to be taken over. Having been given free rein to market toxic products, and to hide and to defray their risk by any means, however unethical, these banks perpetrated the biggest fraud in this country, ever, and Bush bailed them out. Nice.

[quizerry]

@MrCredulousDolt I agree Bush and all must take some so should all of Congress and the Fed. We didn't put ourselves $15 trillion in debt they did. Over the past decade both parties had huge deficit spending, both parties looked the other way at the banks and supported Fannie and Freddie, both parties expanded gov, both parties added hundreds of new subsidies, both are to blame for the bad economy and both supported wars. Obama is just Bush on steroids.

[quizerry]

Granted the banks were greedy but government intervention with Fannie and Freddie guaranteed all these institutions a bailout if the market crashed. Had there not been government backing no one would have taken the risk.Regulations were in place but Government allowed the banks to slide. We need good regulation but even with it some people will loose. There is much data on the causes of bankruptcy, mortgage and credit card default and the number one cause is job loss.

[quizerry]

Sorry but Ms. Warren can't guarantee a permanent job when you get a mortgage loan. The banks may have played a part of the housing meltdown but so did Congress and the Fed. If the Fed was so smart they would have slowed the bubble by raising interest rates. The basic truth is this Government & individuals were living beyond their means and our economic problems come from massive debt and overspending. We individuals get it. Government does not! 2011 deficit spending $1.4 trillion.

@quizerry

"How dare she who tell us we do not deserve anything we have worked for"

Wow!! When did she say this? That IS scary

[quizerry]

Her thought process is bizarre.Like her philosophical view the rich got rich by using our public roads, education, fire and police the rest of us paid for? Ok so did they also get rich by us paying for other government benefits like medicare and SS? And this is about raising federal income tax on the rich when roads are pd for by fuel tax, education, police and fire are pd for through property tax. So raising fed income tax doesn't go to roads, education, fire or police. She is goofy.

[quizerry]

@11111110 And if her logic of people’s obligation to society based on the benefits they receive were to be applied equally, how would she justify supporting generations of welfare recipients whose make zero contribution to society? Sorry I have read much of Ms. Warren views, I think she has a big heart and is a nice person but she is totally clueless about economics or investment banking.

[11111110]

@quizerry

???

What does that have to do with my question? I asked where was it she said that we do not deserve anything we have worked for

[MrCredulousDolt]

@quizerry You know what, I apologize: you have some kind of cognitive deficit, and I wrote all that long-winded stuff before. very unkind of me.

[karlmarx80]

I find te title "Professor" a title of honor.. . Dr of Professor Warren is someone that I would be proud to vote for. She is a person that knows how to lead and and work with people. She is someone that is educated and she understands people. She is already a leader. Having an academic in office is exactly what we need. ..

[steinfiller]

Karl Rove, Crossroads GPS and the GOP are the epitome of what the Occupy movement is against - big money attempting to buy elections. They are carpetbaggers, they are all banana Republicans.

[rnidess]

I hope the GOP throws every penny they have into defeating her.... what a great strategy to pauperize GOP! She's gonna win, as she should, Warren's goin' down, as he should, and the Tea Party's not liken' so much what's comin' outta their tea pots nowdays (what goes around comes around), and oh BTW, didja see that Alaska's sued Sarah Palin? The entire GOP is a corrupt criminal enterprise that proper application of the RICO act could effectively end.

[johnyradio2]

"leaves me speechless" is very weak. Elizabeth failed to respond to his specific accusation.

[Terastas]

It would be hilarious if it wasn't true. If this isn't a classic case of the G.O.P. thinking anything is excusable when they do it but criminal when a Democrat does it, it's the worst act of desperation I have ever seen.

Scott Brown is already done. He's not going to win a campaign in a state that prides itself on higher education by banking everything on its people being stupid and gullible.

[GreenEnergy2112]

Elizabeth Warren is a genuin person, she will win in Massachusetts against Scott...

[BrendanGupta]

@GreenEnergy2112 *genuine

[Fringe111]

She's going to win this. Scott is toast
