Elizabeth Warren is reaching out to her supporters for even more money after finding herself in debt from her campaign (despite raising 42 million dollars—more than any other congressional candidate in America). She will also likely be serving on the Banking Committee, which "gives her influence over regulators and the industry."
Warren, who has been labeled a "Socialist" by both New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Ron Paul, wrote in an email to supporters, "One of the results of our embarrassment of riches was, well, I'll come out and say it—we ended up with a little bit of debt." Then, she did what Socialists do best: She asked for more money.
Boston.com reported that during the campaign, her opponent Senator Scott Brown implied that Warren views "tax increases as a panacea for all the country's ills" and that she "lacked discipline when it came to the expenditure side of a financial ledger." It shows.
Although it is not yet official, Bloomberg reports that Warren will most likely have a spot on the Banking Committee. Elizabeth Warren made her name by "defending the little guy from the greedy clutches of Wall Street...," as reported by the Atlantic Wire, and "will finally have the chance to grill the country's top bankers face-to-face."
The same Ms. Warren who got to play with the biggest campaign purse in the country and could not manage to stay out of debt is now begging for money. Is she the most responsible choice to hold others "accountable" with banking regulations? She is not even a fan of the free market!

Oh and by the way that's another trait of commie bastard leaders they look after themselves first and the little people come way down the line.
they look after themselves first and the little people come way down the line. Do the little people ever come??
You will be shocked by this link: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/09/romney-reports-first-debt-of-campaign/
Can you imagine? The Romney campaign in debt? I'm SHOCKED!
But what is really amazing is that Ms. Warren is talking about 4 TRILLION DOLLARS that US taxpayers , YOU, are going to have to pay for -- thanks to Republican policies. While you are concerned about her campaign debt (which she is responsible for).
...oh what a kidder.
"Do the little people ever come"
Well my wife in 4'10" and she was a hottie til age slowed us both down :-)
You know.."Sexy" humour!
You think so Mark?
Ironic...she will be on the banking committee but as a private citizen, she would probably be ineligible for a bank loan...Shades of Tim Geithner...
In Britain we have Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrat and UKIP.
At election time in many constituencies you will hear the phrase "In this town they'd vote for a dog turd if somebody stuck a Labour rosette on it.
Seems as if you are developing the same problem over there.
Have you been in touch with CIA operatives, Richard?
She practically let us know from day one, and several times since then, what seems to be news to you.
Isnt freedom of speech great? LOL .YOu have this same riht..
I appears you won his one, when they start insulting, consider it a victory for you...
X she can't prove it!
Technically, you can't get much more American than native American.
Richard is from China or Korea (or maybe Iran or Russia). I know this because having been a high ranking computer professional I recognize his repetitive and always predictable comments as the work of a spam - bot.
I don't live there in Mass. however, I do want, and I'm please to have someone in congress keeping an eye on the crooks of Wall St.
...and waste it on Elizabeth Warren.
You just can't please everybody, but my vote came back a big time winner and the liberals have the upper hand, that's what matters to me. America is in good hands. And it's alright with me if you don't accept it, it is your right to be backwards in America. The train is running on time.
I also promise to jail all the greedy bankers who have sold you all down the Swanee and I promise that with in one week of being in office I will personally arrest Sorros no matter where he is in the world.
I will order a direct mandate to be acted on at once that all computer voting systems to be scrapped and we will go back to the old fashioned way that has served you people well in the past.
You can all keep your guns I don't care, although I will make it compulsory that all gun owners must have target practice of at least twenty hours a week to make them more proficient when shooting criminals that invade homes making it cheaper than having them brought before a court of law.
I will choose the people who I want to serve with me from Renee, Nate, Big Mama, Nikita, and Mark-John.
And I will appoint August Lady to carry out my wishes on Climate change.
Now whose with me????? lets have a bloodless revolution.
Your thinking I am kidding right??
Yep I am a Conservative Brit and as history will show we Conservatives know how to run a country remember my pin up girl Maggy Thatcher and Winston Churchill they knew how to put socialists in their place and run a country. Never had it so good when Maggy was in office and then the B*****s stabbed he in the back and it all went down hill after that. especially when that idiot Blair got his slimy hands on the control wheel, talking of Blair, Obama reminds me of Blair having a bad day at the office and we all know where that led my country don't we. But don't worry I am true blue through and through and I promise to make your country great again its not to late mo matter what people are saying.
Anyway the top 2% going down dog, you got to pay to play. Being the world's super power ain't cheap.
...sorry I misread the label.
Seeing how it's Renee's article I guess she can make commentary any time she wants to, and it would be she who welcomes you onto her page ... or not.
Her agenda? Hers is so far and away better than Obama's it needn't concern you because if she (and all of us who support her point of view) is wrong, no problem for you or Obama... She and we are just bloggers.
But if we are correct and Obama (the occupier of the office of the most powerful man in the world), is a twisted version of almost-present on the correct side of issues, we are all in deep do do for another four years. Maybe longer depending on the damage we end up with when his term is finally over.
Collecting Gather points? And the problem with that would be? Considering we and Gather get at least as much value from her articles and comments as she makes in points ... I'm thinking she carries her weight.
Her citizenship? She acts and talks more like someone who loves this country our way of life and the constitutional republic the founders passed on to us than many actual citizens, including the POTUS.
Richard P. Dec 7, 2012, 4:35pm EST
But Renee you're not an American citizen. Shouldn't you be focus on the country where you come from. Your commentary is always welcome, but what your agenda, besides collecting Gather points.
I dont know about Renee, but for my part I enjoy the friendships that I have made throughout the years that I have been a member I think I joined in 2008 I don't always get on with certain people it would be a strange world if I did.
Renee writes some of the best material on Gather it can be controversial and hard hitting and for that reason it does not suit many people on the left of the forum and for that she gets maligned at every opportunity by certain people who are out to twist her words and insult her.
I always say when I see this happening that Renee must be doing something right as why bother to come on her posts just to insult and malign her.
And a final note, people don't have to be an American citizen to love the country or have respect for the country, I love the country of North America I respect the Constitution which by the way was part taken from my own Country's Constitution, I love the way of life that Americans have, I love the way that Americans get things done, I love the achievements that many Americans have achieved in life, the science that they have contributed to the whole of mankind, the way that they always come to the aid of many country's mine included and If I was younger person I would spend my time commuting between Canada and America but alas I am now an old man who can now only visit America by cyber space and the few holidays that I take.
From the Heart,
The Mouth speaks.

Read the Constitution, preferably with a Tutor present, and get a clue.
The Queen 86 years of age up at 7am has breakfast at 8am at her desk working on State and Government papers at 9am works through the day doing this sort of job and then when everyone else is having a nice night off after a hard day at what ever job they are doing entertains visiting heads of State usually goes to bed around 12 30am and that's seven days a week even when she goes on holiday.

I wont bother with the rest of the Royals as most of them are a wast of time and effort.
But prey tell do you now think they do nothing in their lives and get welfare.
I'm liberal and progressive to the core yet moderate in all things. I invest in the capital market, holding on to my money with a tight fist. Spend a little, give a little, invest here and there and saving all I can. I do alright and could always do better.
Don't step on my lawn, and I won't step on yours.
If the Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Dick Cheney turn you on and they all have DD214 I'll send you a million dollars.
There so many frauds and chiken hawks I couldn't began to count them all, and coruption and lack of integrity is on both sides. You go your way and I'll go mine and when you leave out my door don't let the door hit you on the backside on your way out.

As Americans Get Poorer, Members of Congress Get Richer
"The average American’s net worth has dropped 8 percent during the past six years, while members of Congress got, on average, 15 percent richer, according to a New York Times analysis of financial disclosure. The median net worth of members of Congress is about $913,000, compared with about $100,000 for the country at large, the Times’ analysis found."
Oh let me be a rich socialist/communist congress person with heathcare and retirement check for life. What a deal, I'll take that, for sure.
It's not illegal to be a socialist or a communist or an athesist or gay or Muslime or Hindi even a pagan in the United States.
Did you know that you can walk around free as a bird, you can vote, own land and invest in the stock-market, start a business too.
Of course, I was using words that I've seen yourself use, for a laugh, to be sure.
6 people is a bureaucracy now? C'mon. Achievements? Some here
Two months ago I wrote a post discussing one aspect of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). And, you are CORRECT, it is another bureaucracy as proven by its name.
Cornell Law Review
http://www.lawschool.cornell.edu/research/cornell-law-review/upload/Kennedy-et-al-final.pdf
"Congress created the CFPB as an independent agency
within the Federal Reserve System to regulate consumer financial
products and services. The Bureau assumed responsibilities and authorities from seven other federal agencies on July 21, 2011,15"
There are still over 17,000 private contractors in Iraq protecting strategic interests and you guys object to 46 stateside looking after peoples financial interests?
You children cannot go unsupervised; you just love and need your Nanny present, to wet-nurse and instruct your every move and wipe your sorry little bums...pathetic.
Who's gullible again Mark?
Then again, maybe I'm doing something wrong. If should blow the budget then apply for a banking committee position!
