    Another great post, PR. The Occupy Wall Street movement is very aware of the threats to their mission, and have made a point of working against being co-opted like the Tea Party was. Many of the original supporters of the Tea Party (including myself) are now with the Occupy WS movement. We can only hope they stay focused on their goals.

    I’m trying to remain positive about Elizabeth Warren. At least she has a somewhat better track record than Obama (IMHO).

    Great post – full of fact and insight – the reason I keep coming back to Piggington.

    So what about these “Harvard lawyers?”

    Warren didn’t go to law school at Harvard, but she does work there.

    Brown is a lawyer also – but not a Harvard one (so I guess he’s ok?)

    Elizabeth Dole and Ted Stevens made it to the Senate – somebody must have liked them.

    How ’bout Alberto Gonzales or Casper Weinberger?

    And then there’s Antonin Scalia.

    And we all love partypup!

    It’s interesting to me that certain folks here denigrate those in academia as elitist but clamor to get their kids into the best of schools.

    Most academics are honest people. They spend years studying issues. They are rational, fair and balanced experts in their fields.

    Are you sure about the Tea Party?

    I saw through the Tea Party from the very beginning.

    No, the Tea Party did not start out as a right-wing/anti-government organization. They came about in response to the financial industry’s (and borrowers’) demands for bailouts. They were NOT about healthcare or small government in the beginning.

    What most people think of the Tea Party is a creation of the PTB who sought to confuse and distract the original Tea Partiers who were targeting the financial industry. The Democrats were complicit, and worked with the Republicans to do this by bringing out the healthcare bill in the middle of the “financial crisis.” It was so far out of left field, one can only wonder why more people didn’t immediately catch on to what was happening.

    The two-party system is used to control, manipulate, divide, and conquer U.S. citizens. They are two heads of the same, vile beast (the financial elite).

    [quote=Brutus]Warren is a Harvard lawyer, an elitist that lives in a two million dollar mansion, makes $400,000 a year from teaching one class and, like most Harvard lawyers, thinks she’s the smartest person in any room. She’s also despises capitalism in all its forms which makes her a HYPOCRITE, too.

    She will lose, because NOBODY likes Harvard lawyers, even other Harvard lawyers. If it wasn’t for liberal Hollywood movie-stars, Harvard lawyers would be the most obnoxious, smarmy, know-it-all, jerks on the planet.

    They still have a way to go to outdo Tim Robbins and Danny Glover, though.[/quote]

    Hmmm.

    Brutus

    Et Tu, Brutus.

    Wasn’t Brutus a Backstabbing Homosexual? But enough about your role models.

    Professor Warren is a Rutgers Lawyer. She did her JD at Rutgers-Newark.
    So that makes her much more middle class. Of course it helps she grew up in Oklahoma, Married young, had a daughter. Very common story.

    IMO, Elizabeth Warren is actually attractive for someone who is 62 years of age. She looks better than most American women here age.

    She’s cute, thin, athletic. She’d be definitely fun to roll around with.

    Not sure about Elizabeth Warren, but most liberal arts professors, and most professors for that matter, make less then $250,000.

    What’s the definition of elitist when academics are called elitist?

    All I can say is thank God the NYT stopped writing fawning, hagiographic pieces on their favorite Dem candidates!

    This is a very thoughtful, well-researched article that presents a well-balanced view of Ms. Warren. I’m trying to avoid going into sugar shock after reading this, though.

    Good stuff on Elizabeth Warren. The article reflects my feeling exactly about the candidate.
