I read about the recent meetings in Iowa, including in Des Moines, organized by MoveOn.org urging Elizabeth Warren to run for president. I read of a lot of labels being used about Secretary Clinton. She was even described as — OMG! — a “centrist.” But then I saw no facts to support these labels.

As a supporter of Hillary Clinton for president if she runs, I don’t mind the efforts of some Democrats to urge Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., to change her mind and run for president. I admire Warren, especially her recent effort to strip the “cromnibus” budget bill of a rollback of Dodd-Frank. On the other hand, some Republicans have described her as the “Ted Cruz of the Democratic Party.” Unfair and not good.

The fact is, Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren and most Democrats are more united on the basic issues than I can recall in a long time. They have all focused on the plight of the squeezed middle class and working families stuck in wage stagnation, their children burdened by substantial student loan debts while the income disparity between the super wealthy and the rest of America grows every year with no end in sight.

Unfortunately, many in the media seem bent on creating bogus substantial differences among them, using empty labels as pejoratives, devoid of facts. For example, a recent Bloomberg news article recently reported that pro-Warren Democrats are concerned about Clinton’s “pro-business economic policies and a roster of Wall Street donors.” But what facts support these labels?

1. I have read several.post on Hillary being a centrist, republican, etc, all a lot of

Baseless garbage. I refer them to Hillary and Warren on the issues and the occupy the same area on the chart. The only thing I can see they are doing is putting out swiftboat crap which we get from the GOP or Rove group. Though Warren seems to be doing a great job in her field of expertise with her vote on ISIS resolution NO, I don't know if she up to the task of serving as Commander in chief and doing what this nation needs to remain secure. She would be good support in Congress than president. As we near the spring I am waiting for HRC to make her big announcement, I will be there to campaign and vote. READY FOR HILLARY!!!!!
