Of all the nonsensical blatherall from the Demomob, this latest element in the growing class war being stimulated by Barry the O and his leftlisting mob is among the silliest. Lizzy, the bankruptcy professor, Warren is apparently to blame for the view that people who start businesses are naught but beneficiaries of public works such as roads and other infrastructure. Apparently Lizzy and her good bud Chicago hack in the White House share the view that people who start and succeed with businesses contribute little or nothing to society, including taxes that pay for roads, water pipes, etc. Now we have Barry the O's fawning lackies determining that another go at a convention might spur another major political advantage. Remember, Barry lathered the 2004 Demomob convention with his platitudinous chatlines. Now, he seems to be advocating that the Demomob Party try the speech technique again, this time using Lizzy the Okey millionairess snob with claims of Indian DNA, to try and stir up the Demomob legions and propel Lizzy to the rarified ranks of the presidential eligibles. Mars, help us.

A wonderful choice! She will speak for all the people if she is the keynote, not just the very wealthy and monied. Today's Globe story about Capital One was a good start: the first action of the Consumer Protection Bureau which Warren conceived and structured results in a win for ALL Americans who use credit cards. Not bad for a Harvard professor who was asked to handle TARP (successfully), take part in congressional hearings (successfully) and, hammered by the financial sector (Wall St., banks, mortgage co's, real estate co's, credit card co's and Scott Brown sympathizers, and still came out a winner: http://janebryantquinn.com/2010/07/why-elizabeth-warren-should-head-the-new-consumer-protection-bureau/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kptwBdfE1u8

Interesting that the DNC continues to refer to the convention site as Panther's Stadium when the real name and the sign on the building says Bank of America Stadium. Professor Warren will no doubt rally the troops for President Obama but Massachusetts voters will re-elect Senator Brown. And what is the over-under on how far into her speech we will hear the middle class is being hammered!

If anyone thinks she will help the real middle class forget it.

Warren and Obama's class warfare will backfire. They speak to the uneducated. People like sawmill2 eat it up, that's all you need to know.

@profiled: You can go beyond clicking the links in my previous post and do this one instead. After reading, you will note that Elizabeth Warren's pursuit of equitable treatment for the middle class is indisputable. http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2011/11/elizabeth-warren-201111 Further reading of her work in bankruptcy, starting around 1994, has levelled the playing field for the middle class by allowing them to hit the "reset" button after a financial/personal disaster. This was not always the case because for years, creditors, with plenty of Republican help, have tilted the balance of the law's intent. Further, read today's Globe, the article about Capital One (What's in your wallet?....Answer, because of Elizabeth Warren and the Consumers Protection Bureau which she conceived and structured...More money!) Noww tell me about Scott Brown, with links, please.

Warren's pet project is unnecessary. More rules weren't the answer. Enforce the laws and regulations that are in place. Of course such thinking is not sexy to politicians. It's sort of like the dilemma of funding maintenance for infrastructure or building new flashy projects. While maintaining and improving what one has is cheaper and more effective than building new - it's not as sexy. Politicians don't get to wear hard hats and get ceremonial paint brushes when maintaining a bridge - but they all turn out for a new bridge. Same with Warrens little agency. The old agencies had the rules and staff but not the political will. The new agency gave Obama and the woman running for Senator for the DNC, not the Bay State a chance to stand there with hard hats.

Since I'm not a Democrat I don't really care who is keynote speaker at their convention. Numeral, profiled, willow2, Sunday@1, boatwrote, are you Democrats? If not, what business is it of yours whom the Democrats nominate or who speaks at their convention?

Hey I've got to hand it to you- that's some really fine bloviatin' you've got goin' there. Have you considered talk radio? Rush is bound to choke on a quaalude one of these days, and that'll be you big chance.

Let the Democrats do whatever they want. If they want to continue to associate themselves with the Occupy wing of the Democrat party- which has complete contempt for business owners and no realistic notion of how the economy works- they can feel free. It will be awfully embarrassing for them when both their presidential candidate and keynote speaker lose out in November.

Elizabeth Warren's involvement with the Consumer Protection Bureau of the Dodd-Frank legislation was a response to the near-miss we had with The Great Republican Depression. It is consumer (read: middle-class) based to protect and enforce the laws of the US. Sure, laws are on the books to enforce the consumer, but the consumer needs a Harvard lawyer to understand them and probably one to enforce them. In Elizabeth Warren, we have both. That's why the Globe story on Capital One and its penalty is so important, and this is the very first action taken in behalf of the consumer AND BUSINESSMAN! Let's not forget who was doing the "fixing." Why is this not obvious to everyone?

That should be "to protect the consumer."

You are truly clueless. Seriously, you got all your information from a Carl Rove commercial - never read any new or looked at what a candidate has actually said. Every word you wrote demonstrates utter ignorance. The embarrassment is yours, a Republican party that feeds on ignorance and their new media that keeps it that way. There are more Warren Volunteers than for any post war candidate in this state. We are educated, we know how to tell people the truth. Scott Brown and his people are truly in the dark as you are.

The existing regulations were removed. That's why the crash occurred. The things which lead to it would have been against the law 15 years earlier and more so thirty years earlier. We used to have usury laws in this country that were based on law going back to the middle ages. You can't enforce existing regulations when they got repealed by the Republicans.

The class which has lost is more than obviously the middle class. The class warfare started with the Reagan administration. Fighting back on behalf of most Americans is not only the right thing, it is a great political strategy. If I wanted to listen to Republican propaganda, I would. No need to repeat it. You cannot support your nonsense because there is no support for it. Be a real citizen and look on both sides of the argument. You will realize that the Republican party is manipulating all but multiple millionaires to commit economic suicide.

She has helped the middle class. Read the Globe.

Maybe you can explain where you got your num nuts idea. Seriously, you are living in a world apart from reality. The junk about what Scott Brown did is beyond ludicrous. Where do you get this idiocy?
