It seems to me that OWS is upset with corporations, and since Obama is in the pockets of corporations (mainly Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and GE)... I think the main goal of their protests is to get Obama out of office.
I guess they will all be voting Republican (Ron Paul / Cain / Perry / Romney or someone else) in 2012... am I wrong?

How on earth would voting Republican solve the problem?
Have you watched the Republican debates?
The frontrunning Republican candidates want to give even more free money to corporations and banks. They think that only these groups will create jobs, and they will only do it if you lower their taxes and deregulate their business.

Who in the Republican party? Paul is the only one that I see who has not taken money from the big bankers. They may indeed vote for Paul...nobody else in the Republican party. It is not a one issue protest. There are many issues. The other being income gap and disparity, when you look at all of the issues together, I don't think there is a Republican candidate out there that fits the bill.
Yes, you are wrong. The OWS folks, for the most part, are tired of both the Republicans and the Democrats, both of which are primarily full of co-opted mouthpieces for the elite. They definitely won't be voting Republican, since most of the major candidates are more corporate-friendly than Obama, which is saying something, since he is attached to Wall Street at the hip.

Republicans want to give even more free money to corporations and banks, because Republicans think that these are the only groups capable of "job creation", and they can only do it if you lower their taxes and promise not to regulate their activities in any way.
Ron Paul 2012!

The end goal is the destruction of our Constitutional Republic. Marxists and Communists don't sacrifice their own fellow travelers.

Republicans want to give even more free money to corporations and banks, because Republicans think that only rich people and corporations can create jobs, and they can only do it if you lower their taxes and promise not to regulate their activities in any way.
So you don't think voting for Ron Paul (R) would make a difference?

No, I don't, because he won't get elected. The bulk of American voters are stupid; they want someone good looking, who speaks well, who can rule over the tribe.
Paul and Huntsman are good candidates that I might vote for, depending on the circumstances. Everyone else on stage is an idiot.
But we do agree that the OWS people hate Obama because he is a corporate lackey right?
And Ron Paul... obviously isn't in the pockets of corporations...
So it would seem the only rational thing for these protesters to do is vote for Ron Paul... Unless they secretly love Obama because he is "hip" and they are protesting because they think it is "cool"... That would mean they have no message at all-- or they are very confused.

Ron Paul wants to basically privatize everything. His foreign policy is attractive to some, and there are quite a few libertarians showing up at the Occupy movements, but it's hard to see how massive deregulation and rising privatization would really alleviate the problems which spurred the protest.
The faith in the free market is a main point of contention between the Libertarians and the Leftists.
