I can't believe how the prominent Republicans are characterizing the OWS protests as "dangerous", "divisive", and "Un-American". But when the Tea Party was in its prime it was a great movement. Democracy at work and so on.
They continue to fight the sentiment. When a Times magazine poll recently found that 52% of Americans viewed the OWS protest favorably, and 73% of Americans agreed with raising taxes on those earning over 1 million dollars a year.
They fight it because they themselves are millionaires.
To run for office you have to be a Millionaire or you have to have rich people backing you which means your bought from the beginning. Public policy and bureaucracy have been designed over the past 50 years to insure the wealth of a few and in fact increase the wealth of a few.

get republicans to vote yes on jobs bill-by any means necessary-power to the people
I agree with you completely.
The lunatic-fringe GOP - with the possible exception of Ron Paul - is on a collision course with the TRUTH.... and with the AMERICAN PEOPLE! They will go the way of the Dinosaurs. I was going to add: these Neanderthals must be ridiculed at every opportunity. But they are doing such a great job of it themselves... that they probably don't even need our help! :)
