"Elizabeth Warren needs to be neutered!" - GOP Congressman; Her response is epic. Lol.

Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-Mo.) made the comments during a panel discussion at an American Bankers Association conference Wednesday. According to Politico, Luetkemeyer said people needed to “find a way to neuter” Warren, whom he called the "Darth Vader of the financial services world."


Latching on to the Star Wars reference, she responded:


"My first thought was Really? I've always seen myself more as a Princess Leia-type (as a senator and Resistance general who, unlike the guys, is never even remotely tempted by the dark side). Clearly the Force is not strong with Congressman Luetkemeyer
(maybe he's a Trekkie)."

a statement like that in this age is incredible. If he'd said neutralize or muzzle that would been offensive enough, but to sexualize it the way he did is beyond belief...

has a background as a farmer, business owner, banker, insurance agent and Republican politician. Wiki left out sexist, misogynist, homophobe, bigot and more.
- Blaine Luetkemeyer (/ˈluːtkəmaɪər/; born May 7, 1952) is the U.S. Representative for Missouri's 3rd congressional district, a post he has held since 2009. The district, numbered as the 9th district from 2009 to 2013, contains most of east-central Missouri. Luetkemeyer is a member of the Republican Party.
In 1998, Luetkemeyer was elected to the Missouri House of Representatives from the 115th district. During his time as a state representative, Luetkemeyer served as chair of the Financial Services Committee and as House Republican Caucus Chairman. During his time in the state legislature, Luetkemeyer co-sponsored the statewide constitutional amendment defining marriage as being between a man and a woman, which was overwhelmingly approved by Missouri voters statewide in 2004 by a margin of 71-29. He also worked on legislation which allowed Missourians to carry concealed firearms, banned partial-birth abortions, and reformed worker compensation laws. In addition, he has supported the de-regulation of the financial industry—specifically the lending industry.

....I could totally get on board with her being VP or a *major* cabinet position.

She needs to keep making powerful Republicans' lives miserable.

And she needs to be inputting policy on a national level.

I don't know if its for the better, but in this age of instant response, no response is weakness. Trump knows this.

The Democrats have played this other game for way too long. You know the one...If we just walk away, shake our heads, roll our eyes, maybe a little "tsk tsk", then everyone will understand that we are not going to sully ourselves by stooping to the same level, and we will come out looking like the better, smarter, mature ones, and that will work eventually in our favor. That the great unwashed public will take a step back with a sober second look and conclude the obvious...that the opposition is just desperate and acting like children and we are right...again...obviously.

But instead, all that does is solidify the "martini sipping limousine liberal" that is so arrogant that they either cannot be bothered to respond or they cannot respond because they are afraid they are wrong.

Seriously believe regulations and taxes are the ruination of the American economy. They want unfettered, unrestrained, merciless, power to vampirize, literally suck the blood of the consumers dry, and not pay a dime for it.

We are their chattel.

Look how even, DWS, wants payday lenders to be able to entrap, people, with no way out of the debt, it causes. So predatory and unwholesome. Interest so high and fees and late charges so steep, it can never be repaid.
