Stop lying. Its democratic in its function. It has no party loyalties. The Democrats are as corporate as the Republicans.

You're as bad as the neoconservatives. Your party has sold out. Did so long ago. Deregulation and firesales on policy aren't just for the GOP anymore. Stop pretending.

too late republicans hit first stop ignoring the facts they said we are a mob dirty hippies and drug addicts at least read the news paper

While in Boston and New York, I met plenty of people on the ground, who identified as conservatives. If we talked about anything other than the inherent corruptive systems at work in our society, we disagreed about almost everything. But when we talked about why we were there, we had for more to talk about together, such as ending this bullshit bipolar bipartisan corporate monopoly on our democratic republic.

If the Democrats, even with their majority, couldn't break these cycles of corruption and institutional whoring out yet, they're part of the problem.

[-] 1 points by oceanweed (521) 13 years ago

the problem are republican leaders who dont even try to care ows protest not compromise we have demands get money out of politics good luck getting republicans to support when that they have more ties to the 1%

[-] 1 points by WorkingClassAntiHero (352) from Manchester, NH 13 years ago

Just as problematic are the Democrat politicians looking to squeeze some free press out of this thing while pretending, as they do every election, to have the interests of the 99% at heart. Then if elected, will raise their reelection funds from day one of taking office by bowing to the deep pockets of vested big money interests.

If you seriously think that the problem is strictly Republicans and the solution, strictly Democrats, you're either shortsighted, a simple partisan sycophant or both.

[-] 1 points by oceanweed (521) 13 years ago

last time I checked ows protestors had signs that read tax the rich majority had signs like these from day one republicans have attacked and you think ows doesnt recognize these facts

[-] 1 points by WorkingClassAntiHero (352) from Manchester, NH 13 years ago

Democrats have too dummy. The Republicans are proud to fuck the American people over, Democrats are consistently complicit in it.

[-] 1 points by oceanweed (521) 13 years ago

thats my point moron we have more democratic views than republican

[-] 1 points by WorkingClassAntiHero (352) from Manchester, NH 13 years ago

The entire paradigm of left and right and Democrat and Republican being as one's only options is bullshit. Ascribing to one as factual, correct, trustworthy and even real is either an act of ignorance or an act of laziness. One either doesn't see what is really going on or doesn't care to look and just sides with a team for the hell of it.

[-] 1 points by oceanweed (521) 13 years ago

thats a lie democrats have done nothing but support while republicans attack and mock how can we not draw lines when they hit first

[-] 1 points by WorkingClassAntiHero (352) from Manchester, NH 13 years ago

You really don't have a clue about American politics, do you?

So in other words, you're not there and don't plan on going short of rhetorically. Gotcha. Well, trolololol along then.

[-] 2 points by anotherone773 (734) from Carlyle, IL 13 years ago

OWS is democratic in the govt type but not the political party. We are politically neutral ( or try to be). Please refrain from using labels that single out groups within our groups. This causes division and rift and is how the political parties and corporations try to control us.

All politicians are a problem. The system is a problem. Both the govt and economic system consistently work against all of us. Both parties are equally guilty for this. Neither made attempts over the last few decades, even while completely in power, to stop it. They were simply to busy serving their own interest.

We are here to put a stop to that. However, to do this we must be united and to do that we need to cast off the labels and judgments and see each other as people.

One more thing i will address while one party criticizes the other attempts to court us for political gain. This is no different than what was done to the Tea Party, except that the TP was co-opted early on and we have resisted this so far. With the TP the party courting and the party criticizing were opposite of what they are now.

We are not politicians, we are not corporations, we cannot be bought, we cannot be silenced, we will be heard, and we will take out country back.

[-] 0 points by oceanweed (521) 13 years ago

thats my point by blaming both sides as equal you are misleading read the signs and talk to the protestors tax rich get money out of politics end wars will never get republican leader support so why waste time with republicans who demonize our movement

[-] 1 points by anotherone773 (734) from Carlyle, IL 13 years ago

This movement is not about Dem or Rep, Con or Lib. It is about Americans, about people who virtually have been robbed. We have right leaning people in this movement. Many of them. Not as many as the left leaning.

Think about this Over 60% of Americans according to a Fox News poll support this movement. That is from a right leaning news source. It was nearly 70% until the other media got a hold of it calling it a Foxs poll backfired. Since then it more than likely has been tainted by damage control.

Even if we split the nation perfectly 50/50 right and left. That means at least 20% of cons supported us( almost 1/2 of their base). But more than likely the poll has more people in it that lean right than left. Until Fox figured out they were not going to get the results they wanted. Since then it has steadily declined. Though i havent checked it in a few hours.

O(b/s)ama has green lighted WW3 starting with Iran since the MSM is failing to co-opt #OWS into the democratic fold.

I agree, those republicans need to stop kicking me out of the park. I am enjoying the sleeping and the drugs and the not working. Stupid republicans caused this mess in the first place. We are all liberal and time to unite behind obama. I HATE REPUBLICANS, TAX POOR NOT RICH.

You say "shut down OWS" like this is a bad thing. We're talking about an encampment of unemployed, out of school people who should go back home and find employment or go to school.

[-] 0 points by oceanweed (521) 13 years ago

thanks troll now go back to the tea party

[-] 2 points by PlasmaStorm (242) 13 years ago

I've been behind Mitt Romney for years. I never got in with the Tea Party, not that there's anything wrong with them.

But here's what I will say for the Tea Party: they don't camp out in a park for weeks and say they're occupying a park.

[-] 1 points by anotherone773 (734) from Carlyle, IL 13 years ago

Let us know when you have woken up and realize that your country, rights, and freedom has been taken from you. Until then we will continue to fight for all these things for you.

Do not worry about thanking us. You can keep working your 9-5 for a pittance and pretend life is grand.

[-] 1 points by PlasmaStorm (242) 13 years ago

The only people who want to take anyone's freedoms away are right here on this website. You protest, clowning around on everyone else's times and accuse good men and women of being liars, scoundrels, thieves etc, you attack the integrity of good people, and then act like they owe you something.

Protesters. Breaking laws all over the place, defecating in public, badmouthing their own country. Claiming someone has taken their freedom away. I won't worry about thanking you, that's for sure.

[-] 1 points by anotherone773 (734) from Carlyle, IL 13 years ago

Do you have any idea what freedom even is? You mean people like Rupert Murdoch? Or like Raj Rajaratnam? Would you like a list? Should i start with politicians? Current or former? Or would you like me to start with Bankers? Traders? Hedge Fund Managers? Corporations?

I think you forgot to read your amendments. The first Amendment gives us the right to protest. Try reading the original constitution, the one without all the extra BS in it. Our first amendment has been virtually whittled from us using by-laws, clauses, stipulations, sub-paragraphs,etc.

I have as much right to stand on ground i paid for to protest as you have to stand on the same ground and tell me you do not like me protesting. We both own it.

You are trying to take my freedom away right now. Saying i am bad for badmouthing my own country. I dont badmouth my country or the people in it. Just the people who control it. And what i say is true. Because i dont make a claim i cannot back up with a list of sources.

Why dont you trying doing a little American History research around the time of the Revolution and educate yourself on how this country is suppose to be. Then take a good look at how the country is. Try using the internet where you can do fact checking. Instead of the trolling you do here.

" I may not agree with what you say, but i will defend to the death your right to say it."- Voltaire.

Obviously, the feeling is not mutual.

Edit to add: Since i am willing to defend your first amendment right, but you are not willing to defend mine, which one of us does that make un-American?

[-] 0 points by PlasmaStorm (242) 13 years ago

Research the time of the Revolution? The very first sentence of the Declaration of Independence makes reference to God, as does the very last sentence.

I don't see the fear of God anywhere in this "Occupy Wall Street" group.

[-] 1 points by anotherone773 (734) from Carlyle, IL 13 years ago

Are you serious? That is really all you could come up with in response to that? You are a true troll.

"PlasmaStorm" has been unmasked as a troll.

[-] 0 points by OpenSky (217) 13 years ago

just because fox news says that doesn't mean its true. In fact, a recent poll of the protests showed that many were employed and educated well beyond the average american.

[-] 2 points by PlasmaStorm (242) 13 years ago

How can they be employed if they're camping out in a park? I'm sorry it can't work.

And so there is no misunderstanding, I really am saying the protesters would be better off to go home.

[-] 1 points by OpenSky (217) 13 years ago

well if you read deeper you'll notice that the protest swells to huge numbers during the day while becoming somewhat smaller (in the hundreds) at night.
