I don't trust any media outlet's portrayal of the protesters. Maybe the majority are misguided, or maybe it's a mix of educated and misguided people. Who knows the exact proportions, right? I do like that people are taking action, but the fact that many could be misguided can be very dangerous for our country and the movement itself. As for whose to blame, I say both parties, but moreso the politicians for accepting the tempting lobbies. It's a volatile situation that hangs in the balance in my opinion. It could start a revolution for the better, or the worse. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3275431 Fair enough And you are not an 'either/or' person like support elites if you don't support OWS support Bush if you don't support Obama Support dems if you don't support republicans In this issue there is plenty of blame for bad players in every group. But I do feel that pressuring bankers to be ethical and fair will have little effect as opposed to rallying voters, which may result in changes in government policies. And nothing will improve the situation in our country until VOTERS' can place the welfare of the country above their personal desires. OH PLEASE !!!!! First of all, threatening our representatives has NO affect, because whether they're one term or ten... the still collect all the bennies for the rest of their lives. Secondly, If you paid attention to the videos - the crowds in NYC are a diverse mixture of old and young, students and business people, etc. etc. etc. It's NOT just college kids anymore.... And about those college kids - many had to drop out of school because they couldn't pay their student loans and they haven't been ABLE to find job (even the ones who already have their degrees). Here's the bottom line - if you don't like the "Tea Party" or the "OWS" groups... get off your ass and do something on your own !!!! Don't just sit at your fucking computer and complain like a spoiled child. We ALL know that our government is corrupt as HELL. We ALL want to see change, and we ALL know that our VOTES DON'T MEAN A DAMNED THING ANYMORE. SOOOOOOOOO, If you're not part of a solutions, the YOU ae part of the problem !!!!!! Well said |

Their principal, and indeed their sole, object is to collar public office, with all the privileges and profits that go therewith. They achieve this collaring by buying votes with other people’s money. No professional politician is ever actually in favor of public economy. It is his implacable enemy, and he knows it. All professional politicians are dedicated wholeheartedly to waste and corruption. They are the enemies of every decent man.” - H.L. Mencken (September 12, 1880 - January 29, 1956) Granted Menchken was questionable but I really thought this statement sums it up pretty good. |

They should have tried to fix their own party, but instead cared more for personalities than principles, like most politicians they converted because to them it didn't matter what party they belong to as long as they have a chance to get elected. Quoting: D'Light True or not true, the tea party became a farce in many peoples mind when they invited republicans to speak at their gatherings. Remember, in the begining the tea party actually had libertarians, democrats, republicans and no party people supporting it. Much of the takeover of the Tea Party was done by Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman. There was rarely a Tea Party event that one or both didn't attend for a long time. I saw it early and knew that's what was happening. That's when I started hating to look at either one of their smug, faces. I knew they were assigned to take it over from their handlers. Yep... seems most aren't aware of NOR care to be aware of these known facts ~ |

When the people of a free society are being fucked in the ass on a daily basis, they react. This is the result. This is really the only way it needs to be looked at. It's that simple. |
