Don't allow this movement to become a partisan effort to help the Democrats win more big government programs, or to help the Republicans frame their big business agenda. I'd be out there marching too but I gotta work...but I'm 100% supportive of this uprising as long as it doesn't become another establishment mind control campaign. DO NOT BE THEIR PUPPETS!

The current Democratic Party for the most part has morphed into a puppet of the Republican Party . . . at least for the top leadership in that Party.

Yep, it's all the same bullshit. But unfortunately people are also puppets of mainstream media and still swallow the partisan paradigm. As long as they can pit left vs. right, dems vs. repubs, people who would otherwise support this movement (because it's a movement for LIBERTY!) will think it's a joke because it aligns with the opposite political party.

Just saw coverage of the protests on CNN Wolf Blitzer. They DEFINITELY labeled this as an "Angry Liberals" protest- a sort of Tea Party movement for the left. THIS IS VERY UNFORTUNATE! Like you said, we cannot let this be hijacked by one side or the other as the Tea Party movement did. It's just a shame that people that aren't really paying attention that are just watching their nightly news are only seeing this side of the story.

Well, perhaps this will morph into a new third party. Some conservative elements such as the Oathkeepers are now getting involved although they disdain liberals and socialists. They are anti-Federal Reserve simply put.

CNN, Fox, MSNBC are all bought and sold. Thank god for blogs, YouTube, and other media avenues Obummer and the Republicrats cannot control. Vote Ron Paul - he's the best we got right now.

Yeah, he seems to be the only politician (or at least only presidential hopeful) that's not completely full of shit. I really like what he has to say and I like that he's been saying the same things consistently for 30 years. I will definitely do all I can to get that man in the white house next year.
