Occupy Wall Street

[CowboyBob]

An arrogant group of investors in Chicago made this sign" We Are the 1%", mocking the protesters.

Let them eat cake.

This is a revolution in the making and it's worrying the greedy.

Perhaps you are not familiar with the word "coattails" when used in a polysci context

The article you quote is not about the topic at hand.

it is discussing the last primary between Obama and Clinton. Obama and the dems in congress are taking on two distinct separate agendas right now.

Once again.

What does that have to do with occupying wallstreet, or the house of reps and senate going back into the hands of the democrats?

Do you think that the GOP or Obama is going to stop the Dems from voting for the president? PLEASE. the two parties are the least of a politicians worries. they have secure bases.

The largest group is the non affiliated voter, and that would be what I am. over 40 percent now have no party affiliation. That would be more than the dems or the republicans have.

Who is going to get those voters?

have you taken a look at wall street lately?

have you heard the way the GOP is responding?

Thats political blood in the water, and when Obama called them a do nothing congress, he moved one step closer to pulling a Truman. If he is successful at campaigning against congress, by associating them with corporate greed, as he is now doing, as the republicans continue to rip themselves to shreds in the primary, he will still have one billion dollars waiting to be spent, and the sympathy of the activists of both etreme ends of the political spectrum when the general election begins.

I am not living in a pigsty. They are.

If they think it is a good idea to live in a pigsty with grafitti, crap and urine everywhere, I dont want to hear their other ideas.

Better to live free in a pig sty than to be enslaved in a pig sty.

I don't believe he even went down to the park where the protesters were. He just made it up.

My visit to urinetown made Cowboybob jealous.

oh oh

we are now into the pee jokes...

These people are living outdoors occupying a space to take the gov't back from corporate greed and bought politicians. Peeing on the street is irrelevant.

its interesting that the GOP is trying to use that tactic. That will only further alienate the protesters.

 

[CowboyBob]

The 99% piss in the park while the greedy 1% piss on the other 99%.

Fair trade.

Pixie was angry because the smell kept him from sleeping. He has a new corrugated cardboard box house under the Maple tree he's fixing up before winter kicks in.

From the pics i see,
how come most of the police are fat ?

Well perhaps the bloated Mr. Moore should ask Obama why none have been prosecuted. He is, after all, ultimately responsible for ensuring that the laws of the US are appropriately enforced. Going to Wall Street and bemoaning this fact, is akin to showing up to a prison and complaining to the prisoners that they aren't being executed fast enough. It's pretty much pointless, like much of Michael Moore's life. It makes for wonderful theatrics and nothing more.

Michael Moore open a lot of eyes world wide about Americas injustice .
He educate people world wide by is films. He is worth more than many bankers.

My visit to the Occupy rally had people cleaning up the city, was not party affiliated, and address the real problem: corporate greed controlling the politicians.

My boss used to joke that obesity is an occupational hazard for American police.

They will loose the house of reps, and they MAY lose the senate. Obama OUGHT to loose the white house, but its likely that the GOP is too firmly lodged on the teat of corporate america to pull off an easy win during an extended recession.

If Obama simply stands back and lets the GOP defend the corps as they demonize the angry mobs, he will win by default.

You mean the Senate may flip GOP??

well

up until now I've been of the belief that the house would go dem. the senate would near an even fifty fifty with dems in control, and Obama would hold the white house barely.

This occupy wallstreet thing makes me reconsider that.

I think that they are going to land on the congress as their ultimate bad guys, and that IMO is bad for the republicans, who are clearly in charge of what comes out of both chambers of the congress.

But I think that helps the president run against a do nothing senate and allows him to paint any GOP candidate with the same brush. He already has at his press conference...

what did he say again? There are several republican candidates who are using repealing the consumer protection agency as their key economic agenda, or something like that? The longer the protests go on with such negative responses by the GOP congressmen, the better it is for Obama.

Its just hard for me to believe either party can take the entire gov't at this point. The anger is getting pretty universal.

The issue with the senate is that there are twice as many Dem incumbents running for reelection as GOPpers. So the Dems are simply more vulnerable as we are in yet one more year of throw the bastards out of office, as a theme for an election.

its a hard call. Interesting times we live in.

BP - I watched the entire video.

My question would be -- why aren't they demonstrating in front the White House?

Because Bush isn't in there anymore.
