Default Wall Street money for Warren

SCATHING op-ed from the Boston Herald...

Wall Street money for Warren

Quote:
I thought Elizabeth Warren was all about transparency. We are all still waiting for her to file the required financial disclosure form.

The Oklahoma Professor has been criticizing Scott Brown for being “Wall Street’s favorite Senator.” She has also denounced “Wall Street cash in politics.”

But it turns out she may be indirectly accepting Wall Street money. The Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee, which is helping the Harvard Professor, has taken over $40 million from Wall Street during the last 7 years according to records from OpenSecrets.org. In fact, Wall Street is the biggest contributors to them. They beat lawyers and labor union. Just during this election season the DSCC has already received $1.5 million from Wall Street.

If Lizzy Warden is truly opposed to Wall Street money, then shouldn’t she reject the DSCC’s money? Otherwise she is just using the DSCC to funnel in Wall Street money.
This is the perfect example of why what the Dems do is class warfare...If they MEANT what they said, they'd also walk the walk...

But using one hand to shake Wall Street's hand while winking only to shake a fist at them publicly to whip up support is not just hypocritical, but liars to their own base...

The whole charade reminds me of Al Gore's house...

From what Ive seen Elizabeth Warren is a bit naive but she makes the banksters and wall street thieves real nervous. thats probably why they planted this ridiculous hit job in the media.

by the way, i read something earlier about Scott Walkers people getting arrested and charged for robbing veterans programs and taking cruises to the Caribbean. I'm curious what your spin on that is?

Naive? Not hardly, Warren is a classic Havard faculty lounge Communist who views profit as theft. Her campaign coffee speech holding forth on the obligation of successful businesses to redistribute weath is textbook Marxism. Her only solution to any problem is of course more government regulation after all anyone who exercises responsibility by paying off their credit card bills each month thereby avoiding interest charges is a freeloader.
