Maybe because none of them were scrutinized by the IRS.

Did you read what the bill itself says? The source did not write the bill. It has 0 to do with the bills language. And has every right to see through the charade. Everyone else can.

@coldjoint,
Fair point.

This is not an attack on a free press. This is an attack on money fueled politics and I agree with it. Spending money is not free speech anymore than shooting someone is free speech, regardless of what the Scalia Court says.

Elizabeth Warren Declares War on Mitch McConnell After He Blocked Her Student Loan Bill

By: Jason Easley more from Jason Easley
Wednesday, June, 11th, 2014, 10:22 pm


On MSNBC tonight, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) virtually declared war on Mitch McConnell after he blocked her student loan bill. Warren told viewers to donate money to Alison Lundergan Grimes, and announced that she will be going to Kentucky to campaign for the Democrat.

Video of Sen. Warren on MSNBC’s All In:

Warren said she is going to fight back and hold Republicans accountable for the obstruction by going to Kentucky to call out Mitch McConnell on his own turf:

Well, accountability is exactly the right word. I plan on fighting back on this, and I hope that everybody else does too. One way, I’m going to start fighting back is I’m going to go down to Kentucky and I’m going to campaign for Alison Lundergan Grimes, . She’s tough. She’s feisty. She endorsed the student loan bill, said she wanted to bring down interest rates for Kentuckians, and so my view is, I’m going to get out there and try to make this happen for her.

I hope lots of people give her money at alisonforkentucky.com. I hope people will support her, because it’s really a way to say Alison is a candidate who’s there for all of us. For trying to make sure that everybody gets a fighting chance. It’s one way to deal with this. I gotta tell you, given what Mitch McConnell’s has been doing in the United States Senate. The way it’s just block, block, block, no, no, no. We get Alison Lundergan Grimes, in there and I feel like she could almost single-handedly get rid of some of the gridlock here in Washington.

Warren is angry, because Mitch McConnell blocked her student loan reform bill, which would have helped 40 million borrowers cut their interest rate nearly in half. The bill came up just short of passage. McConnell had signaled that he intended to block the bill because it was paid for by raising taxes on millionaires.

Sen. Warren isn’t going to take McConnell obstruction for the sole purpose of saying no anymore. She would have supported Alison Lundergan Grimes anyway, but now she seems even more passionate about sending McConnell off into retirement. Warren did bring up an excellent point. The obstruction campaign was designed and is being carried out by McConnell. If Mitch McConnell is no longer in the Senate, it isn’t unreasonable to expect things to run more smoothly.

Make no mistake about it. Mitch McConnell has made a powerful enemy. When Elizabeth Warren tells progressives and liberals to donate, wallets start opening up. McConnell went too far by needlessly blocking the student loan bill, and now Elizabeth Warren will be heading to Kentucky to hold him accountable.

Has she sharpened her tomahawk? She will need it if the Republicans take the Senate. If she wanted to help she could put 5 or 6 students up at her mansion.

Another progressive blowhole sticking her hands in the citizens pockets.

Elizabeth Warren Wants HSBC Bankers Jailed for Money Laundering
Email Smaller Font Text Larger Text | Print

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2013/03/elizabeth-warren-wants-hsbc-bankers-jailed-for-money-laundering/


Elizabeth Warren has a question: How much money does a bank have to launder before people go to jail?

Warren, the Democratic senator from Massachusetts and financial-regulatory maven, posed that question numerous times to financial regulators at a Senate Banking Committee hearing Thursday on banks and money laundering.

In December, U.S. Justice Department officials announced that HSBC, Europe’s largest bank, would pay a $1.92 billion fine after laundering $881 million for drug cartels in Mexico and Colombia. At the time, the Justice Department disputed accusations that it views some banks as too big to prosecute.

The two regulators, Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence David S. Cohen and Federal Reserve Governor Jerome H. Powell, deflected Warren’s questions, saying that criminal prosecutions are for the Justice Department to decide.

“If you’re caught with an ounce of cocaine, the chances are good you’re going to jail. If it happens repeatedly, you may go to jail for the rest of your life,” an exasperated Warren said, as she wrapped up her questioning. “But evidently, if you launder nearly a billion dollars for drug cartels and violate our international sanctions, your company pays a fine and you go home and sleep in your own bed at night — every single individual associated with this — and I just think that’s fundamentally wrong.”

There is no way a tool of the far right can ever understand what you are saying here, Bobsal.

And cj is a tool of the far right.

And Killary and Warren are disciples of Alinski. Killary did her thesis on collectivism based on Alinskys tripe.

That's an incredible example of mindless Conservispeak, and is total nonsense. What Elizabeth Warren is for and has always been for is government BY the people, FOR the people (recognize that formulation, joint? Lincoln hit smack on the essence of modern democratic (and Democratic) government, as does Elizabeth Warren). She was elected our senator in one of the most magnificent examples of grassroots organization and support I've ever seen, ordinary citizens working tirelessly to elect her and get rid of the now-carpetbagging Scott Brown, and she's fulfilled our expectations, fighting tirelessly herself for citizens' rights. Republicans blocked her appointment as consumer protection chief, so she did an end run around them and ran for Senator, which gives her probably more power to see the right thing done. Too bad, GOP.

Hey, joint, what exactly do you support in banks money-laundering drug cartels' profits. Why do you see opposition to the illegal money-laundering as collectivist? What a maroon you are.

hey, joint, you do realize that the Tea Party has followed Alinsky religiously in their organizing, don't you? Yes, we've been thru all this before, and I posted links that prove it. ( Just google "saul alinsky tea party" and you'll see).

I don't blame you for being upset, cj.

I should not have said you are a tool of the far right.

I should have said you are a pawn of the far right.

I stand corrected.

Nothing has been proven but that we are moving away from the Constitution. And Alinsky has a different end game than a Republican democracy.

The Tea party wants the government we started with, and got us as a nation so far. Warren, Killary, and Obama are undermining everything to destroy this system.
