She was not tricked. She did not pay attention.

Tricked by credit cards? Fooled by student loans? Cheated on mortgages?
Seriously?
The only trick is that people want what they can't afford. Good consumers, bad savers.

So very, very wrong.
My mother was tricked by a credit card company. She thought she had an 18% interest rate--until I looked into it and found she actually had 30% interest because they tricked her by changing it.

Is this the DNC convention or the Vagina Monologues?

Sorry, but that's just fucking sad.>> ^lantern53:

But seriously folks, this lady complains all about this country and who has been running it the past 4 years?

Oh, now I see. You didn't watch it at all. "Elizabeth Warren" must be some deeply-embedded trigger term for you GOP-bots to release the stoopid. And lookie what you just did. Mission complete. Aren't you supposed to die now or something, like a salmon?

Though he is not the 99% warrior I'd like him to be, he is at least a step in the right direction. It'll be interesting to see if he gets a little more aggressive on Wall Street in his second term, considering he won't have to worry about reelection. Maybe Elizabeth Warren will run in 2016.

^ What kceaton1 said.

I've had it. I will write in candidates for all Dem incumbents. Repugs will never get my vote, but I've absolutely had it with this phony, silver-tongued COWARD of a President and his entire cast of enablers. The Nobel committee must be feeling pretty fucking foolish by now. Obama, you are a piece of shit! I'll be writing in "Phil McKracken" for president next year (or Elizabeth Warren).

"I'm Elizabeth Warren, and I approve this message. And Karl Rove can suck it, beyotch!!"

Shame she's a methodist, otherwise I'm on board.


Let's hope that is a purely political association, rather than a cognitive pit of despair!

Yes, the classic Rove strategy of attacking a strength as if it were a weakness, which is a dangerous strategy when so much of the country is fed up with Wall Street. OWS is turning out to be a great wedge issue, putting the right in the position of having to defend the bloated and corrupt corporate state.


It's surprising how much this propaganda in the media is working though. I live in Seattle in more or less and Art commune area and there's so many really REALLY left wing people around me that don't like the OWS protests. They usually completely ignorant of what they're doing or why, and they're not even bothering to do any investigation. They usually just take one situation and grab hold of it like that is the entire crux of the movement.

One person I know hates the OWS movement because she saw a couple of them in line at Starbucks. I can't imagine the amount of brainwashing we have to undo in this country, I'm almost of the opinion that it can't be done.

OWS is, for all intents and purposes, a mishmash of left-wingers running the gamut from left-center to communist/anarchist. Their ignorance is expected but also redundant, as it's the same "message" the libmedia expounds day and night: 'capitalism evil, bigger government good' with the added bonus of pooping on cop cars.
It was government that caused this mess. Greed is counterbalanced by risk and the fear of loss. When government steps in and removes the risk (with OUR MONEY) then certain people are free to be greedy and careless. In this case "certain people" was everyone.
If you'll scroll to the bottom of this page there's a nice (partial) list of culprits.


as an ex-lawyer, i feel comfortable saying that the law is largely bought and sold.

and no market is "free" when it is so manipulated by the rich.

A parody response video to this attack ad Scott Brown put out on Elizabeth Warren.

In that protester's defense, that was an awesome cop car...

FOR HIM TO POOP ON!
