I believe a lot of things will occur to change the tune of what has been said more of less by everyone in this thread so far... "you have to fight fire with fire", or "you have to get pissed off at this asshole Brown"...

Getting pissed off hasn't worked very well, IMO, if you think about it. I wouldn't place Elizabeth Warren in the same category as Barack Obama. He's controlled by Wall Street and SHE isn't.

So, it really IS about us waking up, but not by listening to the talking heads or polling. That the talking heads and polling are being controlled by their overseers IS the problem the hustings don't get out as much as they did to the real polls.

This is a fight to wake the fuck up and we may just have to go through some hard lessons. If Barack Obama doesn't join in WITH Elizabeth Warren, he's not going to have a good ground game and all the organizing on the ground so far has turned a lot of people OFF who are being called and knocked and called and knocked... These would be the same people who need to be turned ON to someone WHO STANDS UP FOR THEM.

You can't advertise like a insurance commercial and win this election, or swift boat this election cycle, Koch this election's books, or pit us against our own best interests. I am waiting and talking to local people... same ones who you are...

I think this is why she has three answers to about 15 questions. Right now, they are the only answers people want.
