Teabaggers. They live off of social security and other government handouts, all the while complaining about other bums living on the same welfare, and supporting their candidates that want to destroy that very hand that feeds them.
It's truly a bizarre mindset.
Teabaggers in Congress want to raise taxes on the middle class

, so they can give more tax breaks for their millionaire benefactors (who, of course, more than likely inherited all their wealth).
Meanwhile, the dreadlocked Occupy loons attempt to disrupt ports and prevent people from going to work. These shrill, bug-eyed loons actually think they're protesting the 1%, but in reality they hurt "truckdriver Joe" and "admin assistant Nancy" who is simply trying to get to work, and who rely on trade and commerce for a paycheck.
Also, some of the largest OWS donors are actually Mitt "Flip Flop" Romney supporters:
both oppose the corruption and both have been vilified by the media.
it's nice that someone living in germany is trying to turn the citizens here on each other. (why don't you concentrate on germany being expected to bail out the rest of europe?)
not going to happen though.
a false poll leads to false results.
I have to agree with this poster. It's the post on this thread that makes the most sense. There rest are partisan opinions meant to inflame one side or the other. That will be the ruin of this country as I have mentioned on other threads. The competition loves it when we are at each others' throats in a feeding frenzy of mindless political partisan hate. No foreign power has to hurt us. We are doing a terrific job of that ourselves. All they have to do is wait until we implode. Is that what we want? Have we become that self-destructive.
Both of these organizations are grass roots movements intended to improve the lot of the general public, oppose both corruption and run-away corporatism that are of no value to anyone except a few special interest groups. That's not to say that either movement is perfect. They both have their pluses and minuses but at least they have elements that want to break the partisan stranglehold we are in. I have seen TP supporters who are not only conservatives but liberals as well and the same is true for the OSW people. In some cities the movement has many seniors who are anything but radical liberals or conservatives. But too many people seem to want to put these groups in their camp only or in the other camp only.
Yes some anarchistic elements in OWS have done some stupid things but the if the entire movement were people who defecated on cars etc , Streets and Sanitation would be busy until the next century. To dwell on that point alone is like saying all the TP people who went to Washington have become corporate shills. Both opinions are over the top and favor a minority and do little to get the nation on track. They mostly come from people who would blindly vote the party line even if Attila the Hun was running. At this point it is clear that neither party has much to offer the nation as a whole. It is probably time for us as a nation to look for some sensible alternatives to the present two party system because it is nothing more than a one party two faction system that works against the nation.
I do however think that the American in Germany has a right and more-over an obligation to make hin?herself heard. Sooner or later that person will be back in the US and as a citizen has the right to be heard. On the other hand "flordasandy" is correct in defining the poll as divisive.

Stopped reading here. If you're so brainwashed that you believe that (proven, many times over) nonsense, then nothing you have to say should be considered for any reason, with the possible exception of the "stupidest post of the month" award.
fyi those ports were closed with the help and permission of unions. So OWS did not impose this on the workers in those ports. They joined with the unions.
How the hell is that anti worker?
Wingnut bizarro world.... OWS joining union workers striking is OWS hurting union workers.

The longshoremen did not join the protest and they made a public statement to that effect.
Port shutdown pledged despite union rejection - Houston Chronicle (http://www.chron.com/news/article/Port-shutdown-pledged-despite-union-rejection-2390166.php - broken link)
As far as the shutdown of the ports, we have no involvement with that whatsoever — none," Coffman said.
The poll selections are incomplete as they do not include the D-party which has done more to harm the working class over the longest period of time. for example the national and state teachers unions conscript about 700-800$$ a year from members to use in ways which oppose their mission statement. The dem supported unions mandate that if people want to keep their job they must pay money to keep it. The Dems supported the wall st pros so hand in hand both try to destroy the working class.
Please delete the Tparty from the poll choices, if indeed it references the Tparty, as the Tparty is the working class.
