Um, is cloning viable yet? Via Rumproast by way of Atrios.

I hear all this, you know, “Well, this is class warfare, this is whatever.”—No!

There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody.

You built a factory out there—good for you! But I want to be clear.

You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for.

You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate.

You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.

You didn’t have to worry that maurauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did.

Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea—God bless. Keep a big hunk of it.

But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.

    I could see her as the first woman President someday.

    I agree!!  She’s one of the few who will take DC speak and make it so everyone understands the message!  Hell, even a Faux watcher could understand…they wouldn’t believe her, but they could at least understand the message!

    I adore her!

    Elizabeth Warren is the real deal.  She’s our “Mr. Smith (excuse me, Mrs. Smith) goes to Washington.”  She is already leading in head to head polls against Scott Brown.  But I guarantee she is in the top list of enemies with the authoritarian fascists and they are going to invest a lot of money to try and defeat her.  This is one candidate who deserves what ever amount of money you can send her way for her campaign.

    Warren should be heading up the Democratic talking points machine… And get rid of Debbie Wasserman Schultz who went against her own party rules trying to cheat and elect Hillary Clinton.  She failed in Florida, so why make her national chairperson?  Let’s get a PR person in there and crank up the machine.  The Repulsicans are giving us so much to work with.  Kill Social Security.  Kill Medicare.  Kill education.  Kill consumer protections.  There’s tons more to work with.  Let’s get the machine rolling now, not when it’s too late.  DG
