Not good for us as Americans who kinda like our society the way its been most of my life. I'm not into socialism.

People can and are being manipulated all the time. Obama claims he wants to do one thing but ends up doing the opposite behind closed doors. Like the big banks and Wall Street that Obama blames for the economy. Obama's actions has been to bailout the big banks, Wall Street and not hold them responsible for the economic collapse. Look at who Obama has in his administration ... its the who's who of Goldman Sachs and the Hamilton Project with people like Larry Summers, Timothy Geithner, Rahm Emanuel, Gary Gensler and Mark Patterson. We have never had a President with such close ties to the greedy financial world than Obama.

Until there is Campaign Finance Reform legislated and we will not hold our breath for that to happen, most candidates spend most of their time raising money and returning favors. Sorry to burst your bubble, but many of the Republicans that were voted in at the last election, will be voted out. The Republicans are working overtime to create massive voter surpression with any means possible because they are very aware of just how low their approval ratings are.

Who's committing treason?
So the Tea Party supporters are treasonous. Yet this administration, who is in bed with MORE lobbyists, MORE wall street businesses, and MORE green scams, is good to go.

So candidates spending most of their time raising money and returning favors is bad? What about a president that spends most of his time raising money and returning favors, ON THE TAXPAYER'S DIME?

Sorry to burst YOUR bubble. Many of the GOP that were voted in last election are not up for re-election. Many of the Dems that were safe last time will go this time as well. I believe the Dems are the ones that need to be a little worried.

And as for voter suppression, who needs "any means possible" when this DOJ ignores TRUE voter suppression.

And lastly, please check who's approval ratings are in the toilet. You may have to look somewhere other than MSNBC for the truth, but it's out there.

They are also for eliminating private banks control over the fed. I thought that was a Tparty position as well. They are also against bailing out the banks, again, I thought that was a TParty position as well.

Maybe that is why there are Ron Paul Supporters protesting with the protestors. Good for them.

Soros would undoubtably like to manipulate the economy if he benefitted as would Koch and countless others of the 1%. You are focusing on one boogeyman when there are many others. Some claim to be liberals others libertarians, or Conservatives. The vast majority of them only care about the own self interest, which is fine, except that they are tearing down the other 99% in their quest.
Soros, has manipulated the economy and gotten rich from it. He makes his foot soldiers available for this administration's deeds, and Obama shuts down domestic drilling, and lends money to foreign drilling, that directly benefits George.

I would disagree. Please look back at who prior administrations had as economic political advisors and treasury secretaries.

When violence starts then it may be a different story.
But so far the violence has been from the NYPD against the protesters.
I never said the protests are treason. I'm saying the goal of the people organizing the protests, if successful, would result in treason, if they take control of our government like was done in Egypt and Libya.

I agree The Bush administration has Paulson who is a Goldman man and obviously played a big role in this economic disaster. That's why I'm saying the 2010 election resulted in democrats and republicans being thrown out. We have corrupt politicians on both sides ... that's why we are so screwed!

The tea party started in part because of the bank bailouts. No, the tea party is for not for bailing out anyone.
