Why is the GOP afraid to talk issues when it comes to Elizabeth Warren?

Are they that terrified of openly defending their policies about regulating banks?

Yes. --

 

They aren't and what's the point of discussing issues with people who lie outrageously.

 

Is Elizabeth Warren a Native American? I did notice the "high cheekbones" on her.

Or maybe it's just she's got a lot of cheek taking advantage of Affirmative Action at Harvard.

 

Haha, typical right-wing obfuscation of the issue. Perhaps you would care to explain and defend the GOP's policies regarding regulating banks then?

 

They don't want to deal with THIS.

Corporate "greed" doesn't want to hear the truth she is committed to relating.

 

What is the difference? We have the Republicans bringing up another completely idiotic asinine attack against a person who is posing a danger to the status-quo, the same status quo that lines the pockets of practically ALL politicians in our state and federal governments. Democrats… or lefties as you all like to refer to yourselves as are just as dirty as the republicans for supporting a corrupt regime who feeds you lies and spin about what you want to hear while doing exactly as they have been doing for the past 99 years.

Elizabeth Warren was abandoned by democrats, left to be skewered by crooked republicans… why did the holier- than- thou liberal left abandon her? Because they get paid off by the very same criminal organizations that bankroll the evil republican right, what’s incredible about this is that all you people that have decided that you will define yourselves, your standards and your politics by an ideology seem to think there is a real battle going on between the left and the right. They are opposite sides of the same coin.

 

Who's Elizabeth Warren?

 

Not sure anyone is afraid of engaging Elizabeth Warren. While many of her views are reasonable (along with many unreasonable), her platform is somewhat of a dead issue since Dodd-Frank passed, which created the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau which she was tagged to lead, until her confirmation was blocked. Not sure why the left holds her is such high-regard given what she puts forward is not all that unique.

That said, the issue with regulating banks should be making sense (and rule-making) of the thousands of pages of regulation in Dodd-Frank. Passing more regulation will just lead to a longer term of business paralysis. Republican deregulation did got to far, but DF was a huge overreaction. Banging the table over more reform is a political gimmick and can easily be refuted and dismissed by someone with a strong grasp of the issues.
