Warren blasts Mitt at Obama fundraiser (“No, Mitt, corporations are not people”)

Source: Politico

BOSTON -- It was almost as if she was behind a lectern at Harvard again, teaching a lesson.

Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren took direct aim at Mitt Romney at an Obama fundraiser on Monday, dredging up his remark that “corporations are people.”

“No, Mitt, corporations are not people,” she exclaimed. “People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick,… they live and they die. Learn the difference.

“And Mitt, learn this: we don’t run this country for corporations, we run it for people,” Warren continued, drawing cheers from the crowd at Boston Symphony Hall.

We can't wait for the people who really should be on top of this to do anything about it. So far they seem to get this NOT AT ALL. So WE need to lead.

The bad guys repeat shit, WE repeat facts. They repeat lies, WE repeat truth.

Hate to say it but it's GOT TO be "monkey see monkey do." We HAVE TO answer back. We HAVE TO respond. Every Frickin' Time!

And we HAVE TO hijack a page from their book for ourselves: Step one: MESSAGE. Step two: REPEAT STEP ONE. Step three: REPEAT STEPS ONE AND TWO.

What kind of people are they? They remind me of bratty children, the kid from Wiily Wonka comes to mind. They yell and scream to get their way, won't share, me, me, I want, I want. That should not be what our country is about.

When Warren gets in office will the same voice go out over the floor?


(I am glad we have at least that chance anyway )
