Cantor: Wall street Mob a vast left wing conspiracy

[BostonPirate]

http://money.cnn.com/2011/10/07/news/economy/occupy_wall_street/

"If you read the newspapers today, I for one am increasingly concerned about the growing mobs occupying Wall Street and the other cities across the country.
"And, believe it or not, some in this town have condoned the pitting of Americans against Americans," he added.
His remarks come the day after President Obama expressed sympathy to the views of protesters.

.......

"You've got Republican presidential candidates whose main economic policy proposals is, we'll get rid of the financial reforms that are designed to prevent the abuses that got us into this mess in the first place," he said. "That does not make sense to the American people. They are frustrated by it."

Of course you have to put that in perspective with Herman Cain's comment that if the people are poor and jobless its their own fault, The GOP is quickly alienating the Occupation of Wallstreet and all the coridors of power around the nation right now.

What we are seeing is the beginning of Obama breaking with congress and the GOP accepting an adversarial role with the activists. No sane person would or could believe that Obama is paying or influence people to picket his own white house and occupy parts of the capital of the nation, as well as NYC and who knows what else. Its childish and it relfects an absolute inability to think of what the people want. He is too busy posturing. Its going to backfire IMO.

and a few more questions.

Where is Old Boner?

Where are the JOBS?

WHY wont you tell us what is wrong with the jobs bill, Mr Cantor? Boner? Buehller? anybody?

tap dancing doesn't suit the GOP, what with all that corporate brown round on the tip of your nose. This reminds me of a scene from that movie "Zach and Miri make a porno". Only Cantor is about to be the camera guy.

What is the difference between the Occupy Wall Street Guys and the Tea Party activists last year? (Aside from different political leanings)

The first one has corporate sponsorship and a congressional caucus, and the new one does not.

to cantor?

They are just in his way, I think.

 

[T-Rexx]

You think maybe Cantor and his Republican colleagues are running scared?

 

[Jack Springer]

Cantor is an ass, I'll agree with you on that.

However, I don't the US Flag in the group -- maybe one once in a while.

I see the raised clinched fist very often -- even on their web site -- a symbol of communism, recognized the world over -- that concerns me.

I see that much of the financial support comes from unions -- you see that on their web site.

I see people like Van Jones (rich communist, ex Obama czar), Michael Moore (rich, fat bastard) who publicly support them

I see Obama publicly support them in his press conference yesterday -- as yet we don't know what this group wants. Seems very weird for a US President to associate himself with a group that he knows nothing about.

Overall the Tea Party was very neat, clean, and appears pro-American. I'm not sure I see that with this group. But time will tell, I guess.

I have to say one more thing -- where are the jobs. Obama's jobs bill cannot even get a vote in the Senate. Reid won't bring it up for a vote. Obama's own party won't support it.

Pitting American vs. American to cover their combined political asses doesn't work with me.

 

[BostonPirate]

he said he understood them.

They say they are tired of him.

I would not call that a relationship. The only real thing they are going after is the corporations and any politician that obeys them.

As for the raised fist, it is a symbol of solidarity, and its been used by populist movements for a very long time.

These people are americans, even if you are offended by them. I don't get the flag comment.

what are you saying that the tea party is valid because they have more flags than the guys occupying wall street?

are you seeing the stretch in logic there?

and where is Boehner?

 

[Jack Springer]

BP - there is a reason the Tea Party didn't use the clinched raised fist -- in the USA it's seen as the symbol of communism.

If these people are pro-American, I'd expect to see US flags. It's that simple.

Tanned Boehner is off wanking with botox injected Pelosi.

There is a reason. They didn't want to offend their corporate sponsors, who might cut off their funding. Better to lick the assholes of the rich and powerful than raise the fist.

Good thing you nor anyone else gets to legislate what symbol of personal freedom and expression people get to use, isn't it Jack?

 

[SuprSonic]

I would say that any group that has the goal of improving the economic well-being of the vast majority of Americans would be "Pro-American." You might disagree that policies they would advocate would actually accomplish that goal, but that's another mater.

Symbols do not make anyone patriotic or unpatriotic.

lol

I just imagine the two of them using the same "dermatologist" ahem... to get the a little nip and botox now and again.

You are ignoring the fact that the tea party is showing up to these occupy wall street marches, and Ron Paul has endorsed them as well.

Texas Rep. Ron Paul (R) offered support for some of the Occupy Wall Street protests that have built up in lower Manhattan over the weekend in an interview Friday with Reason magazine, where he also denounced the “militarization of our police forces.”

“If they were demonstrating peacefully, and making a point, and arguing our case, and drawing attention to the Fed — I would say, good!” Paul said following a town-hall meeting in New Hampshire.

this has their support.

 

[CowboyBob]

The smug Cantor has to protect his Wall Street billionaire masters at all costs. This does have the republicans frightened as the country is wise to their misdeeds.

"Pitting Americans against Americans"...? He's great at doing that.

 

[Jack Springer]

There are corporate images all around in that group.

The paper for the posters, the sharpie's used to write on the posters, cell phones, computers, clothes they are wearing, shoes, belts, hair dye, hair gel, the food they are eating ... all that came from corporate America.

There is a reason. They didn't want to offend their corporate sponsors, who might cut off their funding. Better to lick the assholes of the rich and powerful than raise the fist.

 

[IokuA47]

This movement is NOT ANTI CORPORATIONS. It is ANTI corruption in our politics!

And, this movement is NOT LIBERAL LEANING. Do not listen to the media paid by the 1% to divide and conquer our nation. This movement has people from all walks of life, political leanings, etc... to bring about an end to the corruption in our politics, DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS included.

Thank you. I've been trying to get that fist explanation across to him. Failed.

I think Cantor and the rest are running scared agreeing with the above^^poster.

Symbols mean a lot.

For example the bow-tie and heavy dark rimmed glasses you are wearing in the image (I'm assuming that is you) gives the impression that you are smart, intelligent, a little out of the ordinary smart that says ... I don't give a crap how uncool I look, I have brains.

.... if you toothless and wearing bib overalls with a dirty white T-shirt that would tell us something different.

Yes, it would mean you are a regular viewer of FOX News and a Limbaugh ditto-head.

This is funny. I found out yesterday late that Corpus Christi has our own OccupyWS. It has two members and one of them is supporting Ron Paul. I will wait til some more join the movement. Movement? Baby steps, I know!

I am sure these republicans are too dumb to realize they all sound like Marie Antoinette.

"Let them eat cake!"
"We have a right to make a profit."
"It's class warfare you know."
"It's your fault you're unemployed."

No one ever believes me but I'm telling you this is how the French Revolution started and Occupy Wall Street are the beginnings of it. Don't you see a lot of parallels? I sure as hell do. http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/arti...evolution/1004

We're all American, even the ones that aren't rich Tea Baggers. I've never understood this sentiment that some Republicans try to push that those not in agreement with their views are somehow "less" American. Except as a tactic to try and make Democrats look anti-American to sway votes. Stinks of desperation to me.
