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?
Some of her views when taken in isolation are actually pretty reasonable and good but still are coming from a left-wing Democrat, if you're a conservative she can't be taken at face value without looking into the details and I don't want her in a position to influence public policy even more than she already is, even if some of those policies and influences in isolation I do approve of. Alternatively and more succinctly:

edit: Also DO NOT move money in $9,999 increments. The government pays stricter scrutiny to people who make a bunch of transactions slightly under the $10K threshold than they do to single larger ones because they think you're trying to dodge the reporting and have something to hide. Do it in one go, people change banks all the time, who cares if it generates a report it looks (and is) benign.

Really? Are you really trying to say Warren is a Conservative? Come on!!

She is not a friend of freedom, rights, individuality, liberty, or any other thing I'm for. So, she is not my friend and not a good person. I find no reason to think conservatives should compromise their character to assist someone who is ardently opposed to all good things.
The Tea Party should approach the dems with a bill that would disqualify any banks that engage in derivative practices from partaking in the FDIC insurance program. This would be a true conservative approach.

Wrong.
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".
For the simple reason that she is not for limited government!!
Elizabeth (you didn't build that) Warren is a "Progressive," and like all "Progressives," she is anti-capitalist and does not believe in limited government. What makes you think she does?
She has stated many times that she thinks "the system is rigged" in favor of business and the rich.
In short, she is an idiot.
The system is rigged. This bill the republicans are idiotically putting out there proves that.

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.
