No Warren is not Coakley. I was very unhappy when Coakley got the nomination. Rahm and his DLC boys were behind her and she had all the money in the primary. I am so tired of that DLC shit and the idea that they would replace Ted Kennedy with some DLC piece of shit eager to cut a backroom deal on SS made me sick. Then I really got sick when Brown won it, but honestly, Coakly and the Democratic establishment had that coming. I was still very unhappy about it though.
Fast forward two years and I get Elizabeth fucking Warren...who I could never have had if Coakley had won that seat.
That has been a lesson to me that I will take to heart in many ways having nothing to do with politics. You may not get what you want today, but don't get upset, keep going, plan, and tomorrow you will get something way better.
can I ask an honest question? why are you so obsessed with warren? I get she's a democrat and you'll obv like that, but why are you basically euphoric over her?
I never followed campaign finance rules that closely but if you can contribute being out of the state that is fucked up. you shouldn't have a say in massachusetts representation.

Whoa Nellie!
Let me see if I have this right. Rana and I shouldn't be allowed to donate five dollars to Warren, but it's ok for Sheldon Adelson (of Nevada) to donate 70 million (est) to Romney?
Are you saying corporations are people (via Citizens United) but people aren't people?????

Because she's a very strong advocate for people. She's an honest to goodness liberal. And she's a woman. I am always thrilled to find a strong, smart woman in politics. Don't think I am kidding - I don't expect your state to be her last stop.
Haha, no. Back in the day I was helping pension funds purchase over priced office buildings.![]()
a presidents job is in part to represent the entire nation. a senators job is to represent their own state.
I was reading the comment section of a San Francisco Chronicle article about her and a good number of posters were calling for her to run for President in 2016.
Was that where you saw Ornot? I bet he loves her.
Even worse. He works for the government.If you use the words populous and prole, you are a freshman in history with a burger flipping job.
Yes, but their vote also affects the whole country!
Answer me this. What national level politician isn't a populist to some degree?populist/populism is a pretty common and widely used term
You are missing his point dude. He's arguing people from out of state shouldn't be able to contribute to a state race. He's not talking about a national campaign.

No, I'm not missing any point. I'm supporting the platform of these candidates, just as Adelson is. Not only do I want my representative to represent my ideals, I want other to too. How is that any different than the billions rounded up by the Koch Brothers and Karl Rove and shipped into states to support Republican candidates?
Bullhockey. If you really felt that way, you'd be banging the drums for the end of Citizens United.
