Rex, fuck off. If you feel intimidated by a couple cardboard signs than you shouldn't be representing a vote in the first place. Anti-OWSers are always telling us to "grow a pair and get a job." Maybe it's time for you to grow a pair.

It's really sad to watch liberals try anything they can to stop what is about to happen in the elections.

IMO there should be a law banning demonstrations like this anywhere near a voting booth.

What is about to happen? The Tea Party getting pwned? Oh wait, that already has happened.

[-] -1 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 12 years ago

Telling yourself you won the basketball game after you lost doesn't make it a reality.

What is about to happen? The GOP is about to take over the White House and Senate. They are also setting records at the state level. That is what is about to happen, and is happening. OWS has done nothing to the Tea Party or the "one percent," whoever the hell that is.

Perhaps you don't know about the rout in Ohio!

[-] -1 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 12 years ago

Did you hear about Virginia?

[-] 1 points by buphiloman (840) 12 years ago

Check the results of this week's elections. Across the nation, they broke left, not right. The Right-wing arm of the Republicrat 1% party is loosing. People are fed up, and the national dialogue has already changed.

[-] 0 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 12 years ago

I have, and you must be talking about Ohio. The GOP is setting record gains across the nation. I am not sure where you are getting your facts.

The left reacted the same way last Nov. They were shell shocked.

[-] 1 points by fetacheeseplease (42) 12 years ago

i'm not even a liberal. part of the problem is that instead of actually finding out who the people in OWS are, people such as yourself just make broad assumptions since labeling people is easier than actually doing a little research.

[-] 1 points by nucleus (3291) 12 years ago

What is about to happen in the elections is a Republican bloodbath.

From the story:

""We're not going to prevent anybody from voting. We're not against the actual electoral process. We're against the people who own it right now. And we're trying to reclaim it. We're not trying to destroy it," he added."

[-] -1 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 12 years ago

Yeah yeah. I read that. We all know the drill. It will turn into some kind of violent circus. Black Bloc will be there. Idiot kids with bandanas and gas masks. The same old liberal crowd. The left cannot go anywhere and protest without that happening.

[-] 1 points by aahpat (1407) 12 years ago

I'll leave you to your delusions now.

It doesn't matter if you vote or not. Florida hasn't actually counted votes since before they put Bush in. The numbers have off enough from the polls to votes to lead people to think corruption is a problem in many parts of the country.

[-] -2 points by Rob (881) 12 years ago

Would you stop with the Bush bullshit? it has been proven and authenticated by many, many news outlets, mostly liberal, that Bush did win. BTW, if someone cannot push a pin through a ballot then they should not be allowed to vote.

[-] 3 points by duranta (52) from New Orleans, LA 12 years ago

THe electoral process at this point is owned by the 1%. Look where voting has gotten us in recent years: more collusion between politicians and corporations so that you can't tell one from the other.

Beck was right. Wow, I cannot believe I said that.

[-] -1 points by TechJunkie (3029) from Miami Beach, FL 12 years ago

Nihilism used as a rationalization for anarchy. That was a real gem.

[-] 1 points by emkurious2 (1) 12 years ago

It would be decent of any one of the candidates would take the time to answer questions from the 99%. After all, the winner will be working for the 99% as well. Good Luck!

[-] -1 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 12 years ago

Why do you need mobs to ask questions? Is it part of the collective?

[-] 1 points by aahpat (1407) 12 years ago

Take political action.

The Congress that Crashed America http://home.ptd.net/~aahpat/aandc/congcrash.html

A directory of 64 sitting U.S. Senators & 171 current Representatives who repealed Glass-Steagall

H.R.2451: Glass-Steagall Restoration Act of 2011

Find it here: http://thomas.loc.gov/home/thomas.php

Write to your members in Congress and demand that they co-sponsor this bill. NOW!

They must taint the water in Ok.

[-] -1 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 12 years ago

This out of New Jersey.

Hilarious.

[-] 1 points by frankchurch1 (839) from Jersey City, NJ 12 years ago

Oh, I forgot, OK was saved from the evils of Sharia law. hehe.

Who is going to save you from Snooki and The Situation?

[-] 1 points by frankchurch1 (839) from Jersey City, NJ 12 years ago

The Iowa caucus is so un-democratic, that you bring this sillyness up is vomit inducing.

The elections are Wall Street showtrials.

[-] 0 points by KnowledgeableFellow (471) 12 years ago

You talk about the caucuses as if they are somehow part of the government. They are not. Not even close. The caucuses are part of the internal workings of certain political parties that choose to use the caucus system to help them nominate a candidate to represent their party in a general election. Political parties are under no requirement nor restriction when nominating a candidate. I personally don't like the caucus process, but it is no business of those who do not belong to that party.

[-] -1 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 12 years ago

And the protests in Iowa will be Westboro Baptist Church-like.

Protesting people trying to vote. How sad and pathetic. Completely un-American

[-] 1 points by frankchurch1 (839) from Jersey City, NJ 12 years ago

The real Americans are the 99 percent. Join us.

The Koch Brothers own the GOP.

[-] -1 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 12 years ago

If the real Americans are the ones committing voter intimidation, which it most certainly is, no thanks.

To hell with the left, to hell with the right, and there's no dam middle ground worth standing with. The corrupt government has to GO. This is new ground.

[-] 0 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 12 years ago

Then you are behind the wrong movement. You need to be a part of the Tea Party, not the Me Party.

[-] 0 points by USCitizenVoter (720) 12 years ago

If you are backin up our current sick ass, can't keep their hands in their own pockets and out from under some womans skirt that can't stand looking at them in the first place, they go around lip servicing their friends for sack lunch at some la ta da place, selling out the very people who voted for them because there was no one else on the polling ticket in the first place worth the gas and time they wasted getting there when in the real world that sob was just as big of a loser as the sob he replaced. THEY ARE ALL CORRUPT AND WE ARE FUCKED

[-] 0 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 12 years ago

Just keep OWS out of Iowa. It is not their place to disrupt the nomination process.

FUCK OFF

Tough guy huh?

DISINFORMATION ALERT!

This is not a picture of an OWS protester. It was made in 2009 long before OWS existed.

[-] -1 points by MikeYD (7) from Alameda, CA 12 years ago

Bullshit. That guy is at an OWS protest right now and you know it.

[-] 2 points by invient (360) 12 years ago

this picture is on a blog posted date 2009.... MikeYD is quickly becoming the biggest troll on this board.

[-] 2 points by JohnsonJaimes (260) from Sanibel, FL 12 years ago

Good job debunking MikeYD accusations. We need to keep the movement clean and non-violent if we are to be taken seriously. And furthermore, the folks that view us with derision and hate clouding their vision, can't see the forest for the trees.

[-] 2 points by mserfas (652) from Ashland, PA 12 years ago

Admittedly you've found some photographs of a very ... unusual ... person who has turned up to one of the events. It may indeed be time for OWS to make some official statements disavowing some of this stuff.

[Removed]

[-] 1 points by mserfas (652) from Ashland, PA 12 years ago

Obviously this isn't the kind of statement that "the 99%" are going to support, and OWS should make this clear. Judging by the expressions on some of the faces in the crowd, I don't think even the people in his own little group were thrilled with this. Flag burning acquired a sort of rebel cachet when its legality was under attack, but nowadays it's just an extra loud way to say "Screw you all". Which is not the point the occupation wants to make.

[-] -1 points by RexDiamond (585) from Idabel, OK 12 years ago

I hope they tick off a few conservatives and get shown the door. It will be no different than the Westboro Baptist Church people.
