    I almost wish you were right.

    There is no doubt in my mind that Hillary is going to run. Her life long ambition has always been to be President of teh United States.

    Warren would make a better candidate. She'd make mince meat out of any of the GOP potential candidate, including Romney. (the rest of them are clowns, anyway).

    And I think she would probably be a good president. She's just about our only hope if we ever want to see real reform.

    Was she actually able to convince a crowd that ONE side of politics rigged the game while the other plays victim? Seriously...the game is rigged because they all play the game within the oligarchy. It's not a secret and it doesn't care about sides of the aisle. It's always humorous when election season arrives and they all play the side of hero while painting the other side as villain, all while keeping a straight face. Then they get in office, do as they are forced to do, and at the next election cycle the process starts over and completely disregards the fact that few of them are able to keep even a tiny fraction of promises they make while telling us all what we want to hear in order to obtain office. We get fooled every two years like clockwork and we all sit around and point fingers at the opposite party, as if our own, whichever it is, hasn't acted against our best wishes while saying the opposite to make us feel good.

    This is pretty silly. Where does the regulations come from? Regulations are co-written by those with power, means and influence. Regulation, by its very design is meant to take market share away from small companies and give to large corporations. A small company does not have the time, manpower, or resources to deal with a Byzantine labyrinth of rules and paperwork. A large corporation simply hires a compliance officer and pays for it by the market share they just took away from small companies.

    Big government likes more regulations because that is how they get bigger. You have the bureaucracy write a regulation in conjunction with the powered elite. Once the regulation is in place, you need more government bureaucracy to enforce the regulation. More bureaucrats then write more regulation which requires more bureaucrats to enforce, giving the powerful more market share.

    But the support of more regulation is a mindless leftist mantra in spite of the reality that it hurts the lower and middle classes by raising prices and killing competition, but it is so ingrained in the psyche of the committed leftist that no one will actually examine whether this pillar of leftist dogma is even valid.

    It's the ambition of almost every pol. I think her age and health issues will weigh on her and she has probably already decided not to run. She will be 68 in 2016 and her health isn't that good.

    Yes, she would be best for the Democrats. I'm not a Democrat, and don't support her or Hillary, and don't want to leave the impression I do, I'm calling it on what I see as a political issue. If the GOP runs that clueless Romney, they will definitely lose against a candidate that has some populist leanings.

    Wait! What? I thought the game was rigged by republicans. How could a democrat possibly beat a republican if it is rigged against them? :roll:

    I forget more about finance, financial law, commercial law, the capital markets, regulations, every day, than you (or Warren for that matter) have ever known or will ever learn in your life.

    I doubt it, she's just too weak. The only way she can win is to divorce Bill. Imagine all the Bill & Concubine photos coming out. She's going to be a Grandma and won't run for President in 2016.

    I realize Sen. Warren is a fraud but is she enough of a fraud to win the Presidency. Barack Obama was but do the Democrats really have a string of frauds that deep?

    Yeah I agree about the Dem controlled senate. Harry Reid is sitting on how many bills now rather than let them be voted on? Around a couple of hundred, yes? Oh wait a minute, since the leftwing MSM won't 'discuss' that issue either before the cameras or in print it's unlikely that many Left of Center political posters even know about it.

    So she got up before a group of college students and blamed everything on Republicans. How is that news or different than what most Democrats do?

    Yeah those republicans are sooooooo good at being bad that somehow they are literally forcing Harry Reid to refuse to allow any of those bills he's got locked away in his desk to come to a vote. Don't you wish that Democrats were remotely as capable? Perhaps the Left just needs to begin electing competent legislators rather than just hold popularity contests based on gender, skin tone, and how true to the radical Left ideology the candidate can speak.

    The above is the perfect description of the Sarah Palin and the left.

    The difference is this Pocahontas want to be isn't half as smart

    and Palin's ass would make a Sunday face for warren.
