Elizabeth Warren fought to help a steel company avoid paying pension benefits to its workers

September 25, 2012

 Elizabeth Warren fashions herself as the working man’s warrior, in fact she has based her whole campaign on what she calls her passion for helping the middle class.

  Of course, this passion didn’t dissuade Elizabeth Warren from purchasing homes in foreclosure and reselling them to make windfall profits on the backs of down and out middle and lower class Americans, and this passion did not dissuade her from providing legal counsel (without a proper law license) to Travelers Insurance when they were being sued by ordinary Americans for illnesses they received from asbestos exposure.

  And now we learn in this article that Elizabeth Warren’s passion for helping the middle class did not dissuade her from writing a petition to the Supreme Court defending LTV Steel when the coal mine tried to take away $140 million worth of pensions from its former employees. In this case Elizabeth Warren did not side with the same type of people whose cause she claims to champion.

  But now she is trying to claim she is the one best suited to give a voice to the voiceless because after all she is the one who provided the intellectual foundation of the Occupy movement because she realizes the system is rigged and nobody can get there on their own. So much so that she realized she couldn’t get there on her own and that is why she checked the box and morphed into a native-American for a few years–it was only fair.

    It looks to me like she is pandering for votes, saying whatever she thinks she should say to win the election. She has always claimed to be a voice for the middle class, for the consumer, but I think she is nothing of the kind.

      Agreed Larry, she is not the person she claims to be and honestly if you look at where Scott Brown came from you will see that he is more of an everyday, ordinary American that Warren ever was.

    All I can say is “what a woman”! She deserves for everyone to vote for her. Right? Right?

      Yep, that’s her mentality. It is what brough Coakley down when she ran against Brown. The attitude that she is entitled to that seat is what may be her undoing.

    Why is it that so many progressives are lacking in moral character. They spin stories pretending to be something they are not and don’t ever want to be. Yet they are convinced they have the moral high fround and know what is best for everyone else.

      Well, Jim, since you asked your question and then answered it, I will just agree with what you said. I supposed they feel superior to the rest of us.

      They feel that they know what is best for us and they feel they can take care of us so they feel they have to win at all costs in order to show us how smart and all-knowing they are. They feel that once they get in there we will be in so much awe that we won’t care how they got there.

        I have people I have to be around that “talk down” to you, it is not that they are necessarily smarter or have more knowledge than you, it is just their “way”. They will tell you they are the “gods” of that profession and if you don’t believe them, they will tell you again. At some point you just have to laugh at how arrogant they are to think that. These are the same type of people, they feel entitled to what they want and they are going to have it, not so unlike a spoiled child.

    Liberalism has become a sensibility, rather than a consistent political philosophy. Warren feels herself to be an Indian and wants to somehow empathize with Indians, so therefore she becomes an Indian, never mind the truth. She somehow feels that she is giving voice to the voiceless and protecting them from those selfish, moneygrubbing Republicans and Wall Street financiers, so therefore her own actions go unexamined. Feelings trump reality and the facts. Sadly, so many people who will vote for her and Obama have fallen into this same hypocritical trap.

    warren is the epitomy of deception. Like I’ve told others, tell me the truth, don’t tell me what YOU want me to hear. It shows in warren’s face though, her eyes keep getting bigger hoping we’ll swallow the picture she’s presented. The continued swill is enough to piss off the pope for GOD”s sake. obama on the view showed so much contempt toward Eliz. Hasselback(I hope I spelled her name right, she’s a great gal with alot of guts)& deliberately turned his head, completely ignored her question.

      She is the only conservative on the panel ( all the rest I would refer to as a gaggle of women), is it any wonder he would dismiss her? Pity she could not have put him in his place, as I am sure was in her thought process at that time. As for Warren, unless there is voter fraud or she get some high ranking people to come to her rescue, she might not make it.

    I agree that Warren is playing the populist game just like Obama. Obama has been figured out by his base, Warren hasn’t – yet. I do agree with what both Obama and Warren say – what they do is an entirely different matter. Both are employees of the corporate state. Both parties are hard workers for the multinationals and will appeal to the different philosophies of their base (they will appeal to justice and fairness on the left, and on the right they will appeal to personal responsibility and rugged individualism). Despite what they tell their parties they will do exactly what lobbyist want them to do. Remember banks, corporations contribute to both sides to ensure they get what they want. Lobbyist even write legislation. So essentially your/our votes are mute.
    The back and forth banter about “when the left does it it’s…” or “when the right does it…” is counter-productive and just keeps us all running in place. I think what we all can agree on is that corporations should not be running the show, canceling our votes, and getting away with bail-outs and massive fraud. If you like what the banks and corporations are getting away with then who cares if it is done by the left or the right. The fact is is it is being done and this is cause to celebrate or unite against it. You decide.
