All the
ironies of a compelling Greek tragedy are evolving in the state of Massachusetts.
Elizabeth
Warren recently announced her candidacy for Massachusetts Senator.
Elizabeth Warren is a Democrat, and the odds are that it will be she who
runs against Republican Senator Scott Brown for "the people's seat"
vacated by the death of Ted Kennedy.
The irony
is – it was Senator Scott Brown who gave the deciding 'closure vote'
promoting the Dodd-Frank Financial Regulation Reform Bill to the floor for a vote.
It was
Scott Brown's “No. 41' vote that passed
the Dodd-Frank bill, elevating Elizabeth Warren to overseer of the Consumer
Protection Agency, (the 400 million-dollar bureaucracy created with the
Dodd-Frank Bill.)
Now, two
years later, Elizabeth Warren returns to Massachusetts to haunt the likes of
Senator Scott Brown with her C.P.A. credentials and ideology which are identical
to President Obama’s.
She will campaign
with a soft-spoken voice—that of your favorite second-grade teacher—but, in
actuality, she resembles a pit bull dressed in a granny cardigan. She smiles
constantly. She bases her campaign on wanting only to save and defend the
middle class.
When
announcing her Senate run, Ms. Warren said of the middle class, "they have
been chipped at, hacked at and squeezed at for a generation . . . ‘cause
Washington just doesn't get it . . ." Portraying herself as a Washington
outsider is ludicrous; she is as much a Washington outsider as David Axelrod,
Rahm Emmanuel or Bill Daley.
She is to
Barack O'bama what Thelma was to Louise and Bonnie was to Clyde. She is NO outsider. But she
is taking a page out of Scott Brown's last campaign with her 'down home'
persona. Rubin and Plouffe—her campaign advisers—are hell-bent to 'take back
Scott Brown's seat in 2012.’
Senator
Scott Brown had better put that Carhartt jacket back on and drive that pickup
truck to remind the independents and the tea party people of Massachusetts that
he has not fallen to the wayside with the likes of John McCain, Olympia Snowe
and Susan Collins, our republicans in name only.
This
campaign will be a tough one for Scott Brown, he will be depicted as 'too
harsh' if he makes 'a sweet-little-ole grandmother accountable for more than
half of the 608 regulations enacted in July, 2011. . . choking the life out of
small business for all their worth . . .
The irony
is, Brown’s vote for Dodd-Frank gave
this “pit bull granny” the very credentials and political power she needed to take
away his Senate seat in 2012!
God help
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
And God
Bless the United States of America.
