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?
True conservatives are appalled at the level of control and influence banks and corporations have over the government, however most Republicans believe in corporatism instead of conservatism. Big business has convinced the American public, through their useful idiots in the media and Washington, to consistently vote against their own self interest and the interest of their nation. The GOP has completely sold out to the banks and big business and over the past 15-20 years the Democrats have been doing the same thing. Nominating Hillary Clinton would be the crowning triumph of the Wall St. Democrats.
A libertarian. Why can't they win? Because you refuse to vote for them. Even if enough vote for them and lose they still win.
Really? Look into the percentage of the vote that Libertarians have gotten in every Presidential election they have ever run someone in. What do they win? They win when they join the Republican party where they actually can forward the Libertarian ideals. Other wise they are just a bunch of self defeating spoilers making noise but not a difference.

Keep on voting against your best interests. Then keep on complaining when you do. Whatever. Look at the way Boehner took you for granted. He knows he can do whatever he wants and you will continue to vote to keep him in power. Lie to you? Vote R anyway.
I think the Democrat party will ignore Warren just as the GOP ignored Ron Paul. That may or may not be a good thing.
Lobbyists write the majority of legislation. Most Reps and Senators are lucky if they can recall their talking points. Their primary job is fund raising for themselves and party. He who demonstrates the proven ability to raise the most money, including dark money, is more likely to get their party's nomination.
Warren is an uber "Progressive" (Marxist/socialist), so of course she doesn't support limited government.
What is "dark money?" Define, please.
How do lobbyists write legislation?
Do you ever contact your representative or Senators to express your concerns or opinions?
Well, is that all? Doesn't what she says make sense to most tax-paying Americans? Our Texas senator (Kay Bailey) lost the Texas governorship to Perry in part because she voted for the TARP spending, supposedly because Bush begged her to do so.
That is not the only reason she lost. I'm so much more satisfied who replaced her in the Senate.
