after all the lock-step "yeah, they're both the same" laughable hogwash from the other panelists, the former GOP chairman is the only one to get it right: Elizabeth Warren is going to be as big an asset to the Democrats as Marco Rubio is to the Republicans. (Sorry, GOP, you lose! )

And there you are. She's just getting started & it's going to be a difficult task to marginalize common sense & good judgment.

I mean, did you expect there to be no reaction to her no nonsense manner? Seriously?
Don't expect Warren to be easily dismissed by anyone, at anytime, ever. That is my advice to you and to the Republicans.

& there are those, like Elizabeth Warren who is an expert in finance, who go into public service to make a positive difference to 99% of the nation's taxpayers.

Both are not the same. Way to up your & your corporate-shilling panelists' credibility.

17. Cruz is megalomaniacal
Sun Feb 17, 2013, 06:43 AM
Feb 2013

He has an inflated sense of self-importance.

He is not there to advocate for the benefit of "the people" --
He is there to advance the agenda of "The Cruz" and,
by extension of his ego, the ideology of Tea Party Nutjobs.

There will always be an embodiment of McCarthyism in
our form of government. Right now, it is permeated with
so much demagoguery and narcissism that these types will
flourish -- for a while.

We can only hope that the public will become more savvy and
reject it more quickly with each passing reincarnation.

We see Cruz for what he plainly is -- a jackass. He sees himself
as a hero, a moral gnostic, a master inquisitor, and a flawless
messiah figure. All of these sorts do: George Bush, Mel Gibson,
Jim Demint, Rick Santorum, etc..... You know their stripe.
I'm tired of sharing the planet with them.
Warren possesses none of these traits.

Chucky is merely enabling the dysfunction. Good Job Chuck !

and all she gotta do is her job.

No matter what the media says, is irrelvant to her doing her job.
They can't take it away from her.

That is the brilliance.

The media can talk, but she is not attempting to be a media star, nor a reality show star
Therefore it matters little.

As said yesterday, they attempted to do the same to Al Franken and Hillary and it didn't work.
Because the democratic senators come to work.

the republican ones come to be reality stars without a care for working or not.

Finese.
Something the democratic ones have and the republican ones don't.

5 years 11 months then reelection.
The republicans won't know what hit them.
