Elizabeth Warren
Showing Original Post only (View all)Sen. Elizabeth Warren Is No Sen. Barack Obama. [View all]
From the most-entertaining contributor on BlueMassGroup.com, our Bay State's flagship cautiously-left-of-center web community:
Dont Let The Hillary People and The Republicans Fool You, Sen. Elizabeth Warren Is No Sen. Barack Obama. Shell Win Over Reagan Dems. Establishment Scared to Death
So now the Hillaryites (disguised as pro Liz Warren people or disinterested Dems) say Liz should not run because the country will view her as another Barack Obama. A first term fluke senator who suddenly becomes the flavor of the week among the shallow ignorant self-impressed dominating the progressive wing of the party can not be paraded in front of the American people again. Just aint gonna work.
Dont buy it. Just the old folks doing their devotions to the Blessed Hillary. They know they blew their chance eight years ago but hubris makes them believe the seas should be parted for her candidacy.
Screw them.
Face it folks, making Barack Obama President in 08 was like putting One Direction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year. Like them, Barack is a manufactured boy band who plays to a much larger audience. With Liz its more like a young Aretha just walked in the room.

I invite you to click through and read the entire screed, it's quite good.

You really don't understand Democrats do you? You seem to think they should

I am disappointed to see you use that emoticon. Really? Do you think it's a clever way to ridicule?

I supported Obama in 2008 because I thought he would punish the war criminals

The writer of that article isn't worth a fine hair on Barack Obama's ass.
