On at least three occasions during her speech, Massachusetts Democratic Senatorial candidate Elizabeth Warren said “the game is rigged.”
That might get the base of the Democratic Party excited but it’s hard to see how that will win over the general public.
I was struck by the conclusion of her speech:
So let me ask you - let me ask you, America: are you ready to answer this call? Are you ready to fight for good jobs and a strong middle class? Are you ready to work for a level playing field? Are you ready to prove another generation of Americans that we can build a better country and a newer world?
Joe Biden’s ready. Barack Obama is ready. I’m ready. You’re ready. America’s ready.
Shouldn’t Obama-Biden been ready at noon on January 20, 2009? If they weren’t ready then, what makes anyone think they’re ready now?

That was the best line (for Romeny). Both Warren and Clinton slobbered all over Obama's choice of Biden.

That should be: ...Massachusetts Democratic Senatorial candidate Fauxcohantas said "the game is rigged."

Fauxcohantas Warren was probably reassuring the Democratic base of their efforts for a new level of vote fraud this election.

The game is rigged and for all their B.S. rhetoric the Democrats are just as guilty of rigging the game as their Republican counterparts. I see no difference between the two parties. The smoke in mirrors that both parties use to make you think there is a difference between the two is the culture wars but other than that its just business as usual for both of them. Both rely on corporate money flowing into the campaign coffers, both rely on their own special interest groups. Both have completely embraced global free trade which has had a devastating effect on the American working class and communities where heavy industry was the lifeblood. Both are the same.

the game IS rigged, inasmuch as it has a very simple rule; those who are willing to work hard, use their brains, and refrain from whining generally win, and those who expect 'money for nothing' generally lose

So true.

The game is rigged--in favor of those who shamelessly lie about their ethnicity in order to advance their academic careers.

Yeah the game is rigged alright. If you are not a minority, a vet, a woman or some sort of other protected class, you get jack crap anymore.
Not that I think that I am entitled to anything. But the fact is, if I were a bit darker, I would have the world by the tail. But I am too white.
Sad fact, but very true.

Did you notice her hair? It looked like it was designed to make her look like an American Indian. I might be wrong on this, but wow, she could have walked right out of a John Wayne movie!
