You gotta love Warren. She is probably the only one in the entire Congress the banks don't own, so they have to turn the screws on all the rest of them to pressure her.

No,,,she must be doing something wrong. Because someone is perhaps not liked doesn't equate into an attribute...

Seriously?

She might be the one member of Congress, Republican or Democrat, who is not owned by the banks. Do you hear about Wall Street threatening to pull money from Hillary's campaign?

Of course not.

Wake up, folks.

There is one person who is currently fighting for "Main Street instead of Wall Street." I put that in quotes because it is such an overused campaign cliche, but it is actually true in this situation. Warren is not a career politician, beholden to special interests. She had a career and made it well before she ran for office. She doesn't owe anything to anyone.

There is a reason the banks are threatening to stop giving money over what Warren is doing. She is out to end the gravy train and level the playing field for the rest of us.

I wish this country had more politicians like her, from both parties.

First half of your comment contradicts the philosophy you are trying to preach in the second half.

LOL. Picture Elizabeth Warren running her PAC through an Amscot (no offense intended to Amscot). I am sure Senate Democrats will get this straightened out and get Elizabeth Warren to see the light without squelching her zeal.

Warren is a Democrat from Massachusetts, all she needs to win is her name on the ballot, she is immensely popular in Massachusetts. They only ones this will hurt is the Dems already on their side because for people like Warren, Sanders etc it plays into their hand.

The way I see it is 2 rich old white ladies who live in mansions, and who have a chance to be President, are going to try to claim there is a war on women.

"Warren, the Harvard bankruptcy law professor elected to the Senate in 2012, is worth between $3.7 million and $10 million. That's not including the three-story Victorian home in Cambridge, Mass., that she owns with her husband and fellow Harvard law professor, Bruce Mann. It's now assessed at $1.9 million, according to city property records."

http://money.cnn.com/2015/01/08/news...warren-wealth/

"Clinton's most recent personal financial disclosure form, filed as she was leaving her post at the State Department, shows that she and her husband held assets worth between about $5.2 and $25.5 million in 2012 (the forms require only broad ranges of assets). That number has surely grown in the past year, as Clinton likely earned millions in a book advance for her new memoir, and she and her husband can both collect hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single speech. And that doesn't include their two multimillion-dollar homes, which are held in trusts for tax reasons."
