All the politicking is distracting us from what really matters - that chick's boobs, and how I want to squeeze it while her hair is wrapped around my dickie.
Buyer's remorse? Poll shows tea party support fading November 29, 2011|By James Oliphant The influence of the tea party movement appears to be on the wane — even in congressional districts that elected tea party candidates last year, according to a new survey.
The report from the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press released Tuesday showed support for the tea party dropping nationwide, with more Americans viewing the movement unfavorably. The view of the Republican Party in the 60 districts represented by members of the House Tea Party Caucus has also suffered.
Overall, according to Pew, more Americans (27%) disagree with the goals of the movement than agree (20%), with half of those surveyed having no opinion. A year ago, those numbers were reversed, with 27% of Americans favoring the tea party’s aims. ...
So Dave is it time for the GOP to cast the tea party aside?
Tea Party support has faded because the (liberal) media despise them and unfairly attack them at every turn.
As much as the media attacks the Tea Party, the media conversely propagandizes in support of the Occupy Wall Street protestors. As much popularity as OWS has lost in recent weeks, imagine how much less support OWS would have, if it were subject to the same ubiquitous (liberal) media demonization as the Tea Party.
The Tea Party could have been an ally of the Democrats, if they didn't declare war on the Tea Party and viciously slander them early on. How dare anyone feel patriotism for America and oppose wasteful (bipartian) spending that would preserve our nation! (Again I refer you to the "Four Who Made a Revolution" chapter of Buchanan's DEATH OF THE WEST.)
Therefore the liberal elites, both among Democrat leadership, and in the mainstream (liberal) media, decided early on to snap the Tea Party into tiny pieces and destroy it. But despite the best efforts of the left in all corners of media, academia and government, the Tea Party survives.
I call this propaganda WB. You feel it's not the Tea Parties fault for losing support but try to cast blame on a media that ignored Occupy as long as it could. I don't buy that.
Um... you realize that this isn't part of the Occupy movement, right? They're protesting voter fraud by Putin's party.

have you read the occupy 'statement' that circulated a while back? at this point they'll co-opt just about any protest movement that'll earn them something approximating credibility.

Totally. I just meant it's amazing to see that many protesting, all at once. I mean, ninety-thousand! In Russia, of all places. The Occupy Movement could learn a lot from these people. Either way, it's a beautiful expression of humans fighting for their freedom and/or rights as equal citizens on this planet. Inspires hope in me.

In fact, what with their ties to ACORN, the Occupiers are probably in FAVOR of voting fraud, at least in the USA.
The bowel movement people have been blocking ports and preventing goods from being unloaded from ships. This also prevents workers from going to work unloading these ships. This means a many people will go without a few days pay because of the Douchebags bullshit behavior. Way to save the country,shitheads.
I hope these douchebags haven't prevented my new comics from being delivered! If so then I'm going down there in my Punisher costume(white gloves and all)and ventilate some douchebag heads.
I guess that's a horrible thing for me to say. I should wear my Lobo costume instead.

It's certainly quite telling that ACORN are major participants in Occupy Wall Street (as demonstrated earlier in the topic, often paid participants, who have to refer questions to their "boss" leaders, who paid them to be there).
There's just a stench of illegitimacy throughout this OWS movement, what they say they represent vs. what they truly are.
The latest example is this west-coast port shutdown in Portland, Oakland, Long Beach and other ports, that allegedly is to attack "the rich" and "the top 1%", but in truth only harasses and pisses off the middle class and poor, that prevents them from going to work and costs them a day's pay.
Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.
EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
Big Corporations Have More Free Speech than REAL People
Robert Reich sums up the 1%’s hypocrisy towards the First Amendment:
A funny thing happened to the First Amendment on its way to the public forum. According to the Supreme Court, money is now speech and corporations are now people. But when real people without money assemble to express their dissatisfaction with the political consequences of this, they’re treated as public nuisances and evicted.
Of course, the Constitution is supposed to provide the right to free speech no matter what type of threatwe’re supposedly under. That was the whole idea.
And the Founding Fathers hated big corporations. See this, this and this. They were as suspicious of big corporations as they were the monarchy. So they only allowed corporate charters for a very brief duration, in order to carry out a specific, time-limited project.
As James Madison noted:
There is an evil which ought to be guarded against in the indefinite accumulation of property from the capacity of holding it in perpetuity by…corporations. The power of all corporations ought to be limited in this respect. The growing wealth acquired by them never fails to be a source of abuses.
Later presidents had a similar view. For example, Grover Cleveland said:
As we view the achievements of aggregated capital, we discover the existence of trusts, combinations, and monopolies, while the citizen is struggling far in the rear or is trampled to death beneath an iron heel. Corporations, which should be the carefully restrained creatures of the law and the servants of the people, are fast becoming the people’s masters.
And conservatives as well as liberals are war loudly warning against American corporations becoming overly powerful in relation to the people.
For example, as I noted last month:
The Oathkeepers announcement zeroes in on this issue in a way that both conservatives and liberals can agree on:
When a corporation becomes larger than is useful, and seeks to concentrate financial power into the political and governmental spheres, its likeness is no longer the King Snake, but instead is more like a Rattlesnake. At a point we call such corps “Monopoly Capitalists”. By the time a grouping of such Monopoly Capitalist corps are setting U.S. foreign policy, which the arms industry certainly does nowadays, the problem becomes unbearably apparent. Bechtel comes to mind, along with Halliburton, the Carlyle Group, Monsanto, General Electric, et al.
Monopoly Capitalism is un-Constitutional and must be opposed.
John Boehner’s lobbyist pals are so afraid of Occupy Wall Street that they are pitching a million dollar hit job to bring OWS down.
The memo admits both that Occupy Wall Street is political force, and Democrats are tougher on Wall Street than Republicans:
In short, they are going to run a smear campaign that would use the same Fox News talking points that haven’t worked so far. They are going to claim that George Soros is funding Occupy Wall Street, and that the movement is being run by the Democratic Party. Most troubling is their plan to carry surveillance on social media. They are going to monitor the social media used by OWS and what they intend to do that the memo didn’t directly state was spam social media with anti-Occupy Wall Street propaganda.
They won’t only use social media to monitor the message and tactics of Occupy Wall Street. They will try to infiltrate these social networks to disrupt the movement and plant smears against OWS. This is a favorite GOP tactic that goes right in line with their use of paid commenters to spam websites with pro-GOP messages.
By obtaining this memo and reporting on it, Chris Hayes and MSNBC made it likely that this campaign will never see the light of day. The memo does expose a very troubling development. The one percent is so worried about Occupy Wall Street that they are preparing to merge their financial, political and media resources into a giant propaganda campaign in order to halt this movement.
This memo is the most concrete evidence yet that Occupy Wall Street is winning and the one percent is terrified that the movement’s message is powerfully resonating with the American people. The greatest irony of all is that the OWS message would have never been this effective if the Republican Party wouldn’t have spent the last three years trying to sabotage the American economy.
The economic despair that they worked so hard to maintain may be the very thing that defeats them in 2012. Occupy Wall Street is their way to changing America, and there seems to be little that the one percent and their paid political puppets can do about it.
REPORTER JESSE WATERS, TO PROTESTOR: "So what should we do?" WALL STREET PROTESTOR GUY: "Uh..." [ *crickets* ]
I've seen this played out repeatedly. These people have been driven like cattle by a few leaders, and most of them have absolutely no clue what the issues are, let alone how Wall Street is logically responsible, or how the mortgage/financial collapse occurred.
And that fat lady interviewed in this segment... isn't that....

This lady was on last night's news footage of the protests outside the White House.
What a respectable bunch these OWS retards are.
They threw a few smoke-bombs on the White House lawn, that resulted in a security lockdown of the White House, to confirm they were not tear gas or bombs. Yet another example of the angry mob mentality and uncivility of OWS that is common at virtually every event. And largely unreported. So unlike the media's desperation to find one protester among 100,000 in a Tea Party rally who would hold a sign the media would strain to portray as questionable, in the complete absence of mob violence or intimidation.
Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.
