So the chamber of commerce--you know, that organization whose sole purpose is to make life economically, spiritually, and healthfully worse for 99% of Americans--has decided that it will increase its presence signficantly ($$$$$$) in the Elizabeth Warren vs. Scott Brown Senate race this year in Massachusetts.
This is a fight they do not want.
Elizabeth Warren is to Liberals what Sarah Palin is to christian conservatives times 100. She not only walks the walk, but she talks the talk. This is a woman who sincerely cares about the 99%, is willing to fight for them, and may be the only politician other than Bernie Sanders who isn't afraid to tell corporate America to go fuck itself. I can't think of a Liberal politician in my fifty some odd years on this planet who draws the kind of reverence that Warren does.
If Warren loses this November of her own accord a la Martha Coakley in 2010, we can live with it. If she loses because the chamber of commerce and various other groups supporting the 1% spend a small fortune to spread distortions about her and her record--well, let's just say that the fury of hell will be as a daisy in the gentle summer breeze compared to the anger coming from Liberals over her loss. I could literally see hundreds of Elizabeth Warrens coming out of the woodwork in every state, city, county, municipality, township...and getting the grass roots support they need to lead them to victory. Anger is infinite; the cash in the chamber's pocketbooks is not (though pretty close to it).
A Warren victory will surely inspire more candidates like her to enter politics. Making a martyr of her will only slow the process for a short while.
