@snarky412, not a one of them anywhere that I'd vote for so far - but the whole election was that way the last two, maybe four, elections. We had no choices... the choice was between two versions of the same guy, with only different paint jobs in the last two, and only different accents in the two before that. It seems that might be becoming a habit in US politics.
I swear, if they don't get their acts together, I'm gonna write in Gus Hall, the communist, as a protest vote - even if he's dead.
Hell, if we're gonna go totalitarian, let's do it right and get it over with! If nothing else, it will at least open jobs in the Black Market.
@ninurta, You should be Scare, she's s Far Left Waco Nut Job,,,,, Elizabeth Warren is One Scary Woman, Her idea's would Make a Hard Core Chinese Maoist Do a Double Take At her! Here is a Quote from here: “There is nobody in this country who got rich on their own. Nobody. You built a factory out there - good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory... Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God bless! Keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.”
Here's another Dumb Quote: “Remember last year's government shutdown that nearly tanked our economy? That fight started with a GOP effort to hold the whole operation of the federal government hostage in order to try to force Democrats and the president to let employers deny workers access to birth control.” "I’m all for wealth redistribution. I don’t think anyone produces anything on their own. There is no “I”. Only a collective. Government ought to control absolutely everything. But why do people think I’m a Socialist?" "Elizabeth Warren is Washington. She embodies Washington. She’s an academic and a lawyer and a politician and a regulator. "
"And then she starts talking about all the “little people” like her who have to make do with a $740,000 condo and her pitiful $15 million net worth.
Who’s going to stand up for the little lawyer\regulator\politicians with only 1.5 billion pennies to scratch together? "
@guohua, Well that DOES sound just to the left of Stalin and Mao!
What an odd thing to say about "police" protecting their factories - everywhere I've been, they've hired people like me to do it, because we have a gun right there, and when seconds count, the police are only minutes away! The police would come and fill out reports, haul anyone away who needed hauling away, but it was US doing the protecting!
The "wealth redistribution" quote - that said all I need to know about her philosophy. I'd vote for communist Gus Hall instead - at least he was honest and open about his plans for Amerika!
Elizabeth Warren is that lying scum who played Native American when pretending someone else's heritage was convenient for her.
The memory of video is eternal though...and these pols hate that, I'm sure.
Oh.. Let her run for President. That'll be fun after Obama has burned a whole nation out on picking Presidents by feel good. It's come to feel a bit too bad to forget that quickly.
I found some stories from 2012 where she claimed a great great great granny had Native blood, but I've also found where some media made retractions about those claims too. Apparently that pudding doesn't have much proof to it, to paraphase a bit there.
Breitbart DID find something with a Great-Great-Great GRANDFATHER though, and this ran in April of this year. (BB is about as unbiased as MSNBC, I know, but this stuff isn't a dark science or classified research. Genealogy to this context ain't THAT hard!)
Breitbart News and a noted Cherokee genealogist have documented there is no evidence to support Senator Warren's claim of Cherokee ancestry. There is evidence, however, that shows Senator Warren's great-great-great grandfather, Jonathan Crawford, was a member of the Tennessee militia in the 1830s who rounded up the local Cherokee as the first step in their forced "Trail of Tears" journey to Oklahoma.
The Globe reported Wednesday that Senator Warren writes in her book "I never asked for special treatment when I applied to college, to law school, or for jobs."
But, as Breitbart News reported in May 2012, Senator Warren has "[f]or twenty-five years since 1986, and without a shred of credible evidence . . . claimed to have Native American ancestry. She's made this claim, apparently, to three separate employers—the University of Texas Law School, the University of Pennsylvania Law School, and Harvard Law School. None apparently asked her for proof, nor did she offer any."
Now THAT is what you call having a big rat crawl out from the woodpile after you've gone and made a major public thing of it. I am very familiar with the Trail of Tears, as it ran right through the area I'm in. It would be bad enough that there appears no solid connections back to a period the connections certainly exist for and are generally documented with ...but to have connections show up SO TOTALLY opposite? (and the same 'Great-Great-Great- generation in the tree, no less) No shame doesn't even touch it and she's going to get to hear that asked about ad naseum if she enters the mix-master of Presidential politics, IMO. She deserves to until she clears it up one way or another.
Let's not forget her Dodging Bullets! Then there's the Common Clinton who's to Blames,,,,or what does "if" mean or "is" mean or any thing with them mean?

I like some of the things EW says and she is correct on some of the things previously mentioned, but I don't think she would be much different than any of the other choices we have. They all tend to follow the Neocon/fascist agenda once they are put in office.....hell, that's what Obama did.
I don't have anything nice to say... not even a tiny wee bit nice... not even a smiley with a straight face with no corner movement kind of passably nice..
I have said since Obama's second term, what Obama is doing is only to pave the way for something much worse than him... No matter who comes next whoever it will be will be worse than Obama, unless we get some gonads as a nation.
I can see Hilary as the national gonad chopper...
VERY WELL SAID.
Her unroyal lowness, her hideous heinous--Shrillery, Antoinette, de Fosterizer de Machiavelli de Stalin de Lenin de Stalin de Marx de Mao de Pol Pot de Arafart de Lucifer . . .
would turn out to be shockingly worse . . . and gleeful at it . . . screaming "WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE" to any wails of her victims.
Certainly the oligarchy plans worse than OThuga . . . and Shrillery is a prime demonized candidate.
Search out the comments all those who have worked closely around her . . . and are no longer hypnotized by her evil . . . they ALL characterize her as THE MOST EVIL GRITCH OF A CRUEL PATHOLOGICAL LIAR OF AN EXCUSE FOR HUMAN GARBAGE they've EVER met. . . . my paraphrase, of course.
She certainly would be a gleeful CHIEF TYRANT overseeing massive DEPOPULATION of the planet and setting up the overt global government and global religion.
This may sound odd, and it isn't something to benefit any of us as individuals, to be sure.....but perhaps America needs Biden or another very weak leader at this moment?
Hear me out..... We could get a Ronald Reagan or a John Kennedy for strength and conviction, but the state of division among normal Americans won't allow that resource to be used for the real benefit of the nation. Maybe the strong leader will have said the 'N' word when he was a young man, or...perhaps a woman and she made a similar screw up before the screw up was looked at that way. Whatever it is..right now? We'll have 50% of the nation decrying ANYONE elected because it isn't from THEIR 50%. SO polarized, we've become and a divided house cannot stand.
So...Lets take the division the full distance and play this pathetic game out to the end. We can't seem to start right any other way, so sooner is better for our futures and our children.
Let a weak kneed wuss or political toad fill the seat THIS one is vacating in a couple years. Given the way major powers in the world are very slowly starting to circle us like vultures impatient to get their piece of the meal, it won't take overt action inviting attack. It will simply require the certainty that our nation is stuck with a few more years of 'I dunno what to do...do you?!' from the leadership itself. OTHER leaders in this world are NOT so 'confused' about their own priorities and nationalist goals.
So.. Why wait another 4, 8 or 12 years when it looks very likely things will just 'average' themselves into ruin on the slow installment plan? I'm impatient...lets get this show on the road so we can close it down all the sooner.
I prefer as long a delay in the GREAT DEPOPULATING CONFLAGRATION as possible.
It allows more time to . . .
--play a little more sane --wake-up a bit more --kiss a few more spouses, babies and children; hug them a little tighter
--prepare a bit better for the traumas --Share a few more calm intimacies and not so calm intimacies
--reflect with more directed focus on the eternal priorities of life without having to also run at top flight speed from the Tsunami's of terror, horror, water, nukes, plagues . . .
--Get one's affairs as much in order as possible for one's closing years, months, days.
--Get as right with God as possible before the flash of nuclear light or 2nd Coming or . . .
--Trim a few more fruit trees, plant a few more berries in the fantasy that someone will benefit from them.
--Dig the bunker a little deeper or bigger.
--Team build a bit better with a few more trusted nearby loved ones.
--Pray a lot more
--Forgive fully more constantly
--Love more fully more everywhere around.
--Care for the poor more often and better . . . anticipating the leveling poverty and suffering will likely bring to the masses far too soon . . . trusting the Verse about those who do so shall be provisioned supernaturally in the darkness.
--Be kinder to everyone because kinder goes into the darkness far better positioned than cruelty . . . because there IS a CREATOR ALL LOVING GOD IN HEAVEN watching everyone's heart motives, thoughts, words and deeds . . . and adjusting lots of things accordingly in LOTS OF TOTALLY UNEXPECTED ways.
--Be more generous to more folks deserving and undeserving. None of us get what the dark spots within really DESERVE. And we just might need to reap some generosity in unexpected ways at unexpected times.
--Stand up more for what is good and right regardless . . . with wisdom . . . whatever the cost. Because one never knows when one will need the good and right to stand up for them.
--Sit down more and hold a bruised, bleeding and crying child. We are all bruised, bleeding and crying at some level . . . or have . . . or will.
--Sit more beside an aging befuddled fossilized old fart and fartess and hold their hand . . . because we all age faster than we'd like to admit . . . and befuddlement doesn't always arise from brain problems . . . sometimes merely from trauma, stress and complexities in this massively complex era changing so dramatically with such rapidity.
--Love more on some friendly dog(s) . . . we all need their unconditional loving responses in this era of so few people who remember or are capable of the pricelessness of being unconditionally loving.
--Sing more--whether in the shower, on walks or off key amongst one's fellow congregants at church. Sing praises . . . to people and God . . . the rewards are more than worth the risk of offending sensitive ears.
--Dance more . . . whether in private in a forest of falling leaves or on the back lawn with grandkids enraptured with some brief silliness of Grandpa or Grandma or both.
--Dig in the dirt some more until the sweat pours . . . hopefully with a younger person who's typically allergic to sweat . . . It'll be a good education and a great chance to bond and pour love into their lives as you pour sand out of your shoes at the end of the day.
--Watch the stars some more . . . and practice . . . contemplate singing with the starry host at break of that Eternal Endless Day.
--Wait more patiently as a loved one hobbles along with their walker or crutches or cast or arthritis. In your patience . . . you may well be learning to hold your soul above the flood-waters of destruction.
--Borrow a cup of flour more often . . . just because the recluse neighbor needs another excuse for human contact.
--Press some more woodland violets between paper towels and heavy dictionaries . . . because flowers represent hope . . . and hope is in increasingly short supply.
--Allow a surprising smile from a child or some breeze blown leaves or a child's song carried on the wind from an open window to foster a twinkle in your eyes. Twinkly eyes age less and with much less dreariness.
--Allow more, a beautiful lady or a handsome man that happens across your path to remind you that beauty still exists in the world in spite of the growing ugliness.
--Protect more and enrich more your heart from which the issues of life and the paths of life pour forth. Disallow the cockroaches of propaganda, tyranny and selfishness to erode the intangible wealthy richness of a heart dedicated to Love and wholeness.
You know what will be a bitch for the simple minded idiots holding more money than intelligence?
Lets assume for a moment that 'they' do have some plan to lower population (in a way, they damn well BETTER have..but I don't favor the sudden route we're talking about of course).
Lets say they spring their plan and clobber the population with pestilence, plague, disease and war (You know...basically what we see in the news right now). What happens if we're stubborn little bastards and just refuse to die on command?
What is worse than 7 billion mouths to feed with 7 billion different ideas of how things should be done?? Why..I'll tell ya! 7 billion screaming mouths who NO LONGER DISAGREE about how things need to start being done ...and they all focus on that "TPTB" idea to start with. Nothing in Earth or Heaven is powerful enough to survive the collective rage (Modern media makes possible for the first time in history) of a good % or all of us at once.
The future may be more interesting to watch than first thought.
I like some of the things EW says and she is correct on some of the things previously mentioned, but I don't think she would be much different than any of the other choices we have. They all tend to follow the Neocon/fascist agenda once they are put in office.....hell, that's what Obama did.
The thing she said about the "social contract" bothers me. I don't recall ever signing one - did they drug me to get a signature? Wouldn't that invalidate it?
Since "society" hasn't kept up their end of the deal, isn't that contract already broken? I don't have to abide by broken contracts, do I?
That "social contract" doesn't seem to be worth the paper it's printed on.
