Never said that at all. I'm just curious if enough moderates (RINOs) could find enough in common with her to pull the lever for her. I detest Jeb Bush (and all things Bush) for his amnesty stance, but could vote for him if he had enough libertarian positions, doubtful as that would be. I'm certainly disgusted with the Dems at this point, but I dislike the current crop of Repubs even more, except for maybe Sen Rand Paul.
She's a COMMUNIST! Now watch the *******s tell me I don't know what a Communist is.
Warren didn't say "you didn't build that", Obama said it. She said it in context to the 2012 campaign but it was Obama who said it in regards to business in the US and even then you're using it out of context.
Warren said:
"There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. ... You moved your goods to market on the 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, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did. Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea. God bless. Keep a big 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."
The quote you're all talking about, made by Obama:
"If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business – you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don't do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires."
Warren's later remarks in regards to the 2012 campaign:
In her victory speech on November 6, 2012, Elizabeth Warren stated it had been "an amazing campaign, and let me be clear, I didn't build that, you built that."
The federal government should abolish the FDIC, and impose criminal charges with lifetime sentences to hard labor on anyone who engages in "fiduciary misconduct" - defined as risking the deposits entrusted to them. Basically, "You'r welcome to be in the business of accepting and holding deposits, but if your establishment fails, you will spend the rest of your life in jail at hard labor, with no possibility of parole".
You'd be amazed how responsible bankers would be.
This would be great if people had even an inkling of trust in Washington. They don't so as soon as the FDIC insurance was removed the banks would all collapse because everyone would remove all their money.
"The rest of us" didn't pay for any of those things. She's pandering to those who don't pay a dime into the government. She makes it sound as though the "rich" (that definition keeps changing) sponge off the little people. The opposite is true. They fund most of the lazy asses who refuse to do anything. They provide jobs to those who are willing to work.
warren is a Communist. She's the female Obama - which is where he lifted his "you didn't build that" speech.
I fully support Sen Warren's speech on the Senate floor and am disgusted that Citigroup/Chase have so much influence in the spending bill/legislation. I'm going to make good on withdrawing my Chase savings account (which draws no interest) and put it into a local credit union $9,999 at a time. If conservatives support limited government, then why not support her?
I am not a communist, therefore I do not support Sen Warren.
I do not support the rollback on Wallstreet regulations, which have resulted in bail outs at the expense of the average US citizen. Liberal support of the "fair housing act" and restrictions on "redlining" have been equally, if not more, destructive to the US economy. Liberal policies are squarely responsible for the 2008 financial meltdown and the basic policies which fueled it.
To support Elizabeth Warren for anything would be supporting the very same liberal policies which are, and have been, contributing to the destruction of the middle class and the widening income disparities in the US.
Wake up libs- you are the biggest enemy of the middle class today.

So why don't you liberal whiners build that. Government isn't helping you build that? I'd start bitching how unfair that is. <sarcasm>
