I support Warren for President. Other than Bernie Sanders, I cannot think of a better candidate who has a chance of getting more than .5% of the vote. Glass-Steagall is a very important issue for me, and I can either vote for the person who supports reinstating it, or the wife of the president who repealed it. Clinton's position on Libya is also disheartening, and her hawkish foreign policy outlined in her novel is clearly an appeal to the military industrial complex.
So it's because she's more of a socialist then.

Progressives still want to stay in the closet with that one eh?Really?
Is that what socialists call for or is that what communists call for? Do you know which is which?Warren called for the abolition of private property and the overthrow the bourgeoisie in favor of proletarian internationalism? I must've missed that. :roll:
Who would you rather have as president?
Lol !
I thought this thread was about who was a bigger liar.

You misunderstand. I'm not commenting on your socialist leanings, just Warrens.I recognize I have some socialist leanings, but I hardly think the fact that I don't think banks should be investing the average person's money and speculating with it, or that I don't think we should go to war with Libya, make me a socialist.

What exactly do you consider about Warren to be socialistic in nature? I recognize she's not a die-hard-capitalist, but a lot of what Warren calls for is regulations, which socialists would consider inadequate and demand nationalization instead.
Much of this. Elizabeth Warren on the Issues
What really told me I wouldn't like her policies was the "You didn't build it" message. That's quickly becoming a classic.
Ah, I see. Out of all of the links, you only focused on the one that was a testimony from a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, which is of course a Progressive group that promotes Progressive ideas and candidates. Miller, who testified, is a politician who was instrumental in the creation of the CFPB and who shares Warren's views that homeowners who made stupid decisions did so because they were victims of the banks. Miller, as we all know, is not impartial.
Keep in mind my post when I gave you those links:
I'll ask again. Do you know what the CFPB is? Do you know what Dodd-Frank is, and how it interacts with the CFPB which is the agency that will enforce DF?
Okay, here's a link for you since you don't want to do research yourself. I posted a great link from CBS News a few pages back. Here are some more for you.
Those links were to help you understand what the CFPB is, and how Dodd-Frank relies on the CFPB to enforce the law. I'm not a partisan so I provide links from all points of view, from experts to bankers to both leans. You only honed in on the one from the ultra, ultra left lean, the man who was part of the creation of the CFPB.
Got it.
That was the only link that gave specifics. The ones from the banking industry used nothing but scare tactics....no facts and just predictions. GIGO

in what ways is Elizabeth Warren wanting community banks to 'pay'?Specifics? Now that's funny.
Like this specific:
Community banks were generally not guilty of some of the worst abuses of the last decade, and community banks remain more constrained by reputational concerns than are the biggest banks. But community bankers are not incapable of bad conduct. In the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life,” George Bailey was a community banker, but so was Mr. Potter.
Two things about that "specific". One, it backs up what I've been saying which is that the community banks were generally not guilty of the abuses. Yet Warren and the others want them to have to pay. Two, he references a movie from the 1940s as proof of...what exactly?
Miller goes on to say absolutely nothing in his testimony that refutes what I've been saying. He was part of the creation of the CFPB and if you're inclined to take only the word of a non-banker who created the agency in question, then you are only looking for partisanship, and not objectivity.
The "scare tactics" you mention come from people who actually understand community banking, and have given - contrary to what you said - specifics on their concerns, which I have been posting about all along.
When you want to be serious and non-partisan, please let me know. This was obviously a waste of my time.

The answer you seek is in all my posts in this thread.
are you wanting us to believe that Elizabeth Warren proposes treating community banks as she would the too-big-to-fail banks? or do you simply have nothing more to offer?
A third option is needed in the poll: Neither or None of the candidates listed.
As usual, this OP doesn't know how to set up an unbiased poll.
no she is notThe answer you seek is in all my posts in this thread, same as my last post. Yes she is, please read. I am not going back through all my posts in this thread and copying them for you.
Thank you.
Not to play in your pigsh*t, but there is a perfectly viable third option. Don't participate.
