We should NEVER align ourselves with any current partisan-politician. Only Independents (Bernie Sanders).
Fuck what the media will say about us! We don't support any pawns in the current system, no matter what they preach. Fuck the most progressive Democrats, you have no idea what their true motive may be; we don't want to be shaped by the current political system. We are revolutionaries, not merely progressives.
Viva La Resistance!
Where did this guy go?
Back to conspiracy theory land, where he came from.
This just shows how lame thrashy's been all along. Far too busy chasing lizard men to comment on the real thing.

Bernie Sanders torpedoed Ron Paul's Audit the Fed legislation, changing it from ongoing and complete audits to only under special circumstances. He may call himself an independent but his actions speak louder.
Perhaps we shouldn't align ourselves with ANY current politicians...idk, I'm a big fan of Bernie Sanders if he torpedoed Ron Paul perhaps there was rationality behind it.
Sander's rationality was that the Fed should be protected to a degree. Paul's position was that We the People should be protected and have a right to know what's going on with OUR money.
Also, we can't become the RON PAUL! END THE FED! movement
I agree; the establishment legislature on both sides of the aisle is bound to attempt to co-opt the Occupy Movement, and we need to resist them at all costs. Make it completely clear that the Movement is not aligned with any side of the political spectrum - this is about separating corporate power and politics, and ushering in a system that actually works for us, the other 99% of society.
This is imperative to the survival of OWS as an independent and progressive movement!
