So the Harvard grad president couldn't articulate your hatred enough, you needed an unemployed Chris Farley to represent you and your "struggle"... Lol

My issue is with the people who GIVE these bums money. My issue is with OBAMA and CONGRESS for bailing out the banks and GM and giving Solyndra a half a billion of our tax dollars.

You need to direct your anger toward the decision makers... not the people asking for money.

OBAMA decided to socialize GM's losses. That was not a GM decision.

So those "irresponsible greedy fat cats who choose to gamble with other people's money" are sitting in Washington today and will be asking for your vote soon. It's really that simple. WASHINGTON makes ALL DECISIONS.
Yes, I'm well aware that they're in Washington, that's a big problem. These crooks buy off corrupt lazy government officials to allow for their house of cards to be built. Then instead of seeing the inside of a jail cell they go to Washington and are given charge of "regulating" Wall St. The foxes are guarding the henhouse! And some people see no problem in this, or they only see one side. Some people choose to blame only Wall St, or blame only government, the problem is the unholy alliance between both.

Yes, I realize many are just bored college kids with an entitlement attitude and who never worked a day in their lives.
Ahh, you clearly understand and here is the proof.

I support people who are trying to hold their government accountable for abusing the power of their public office and using our taxpayer dollars to play crony capitalist, and running our economy into the ground.

I'm not really sure what these people are protesting, but I'm sure the unions and other special interest groups will decide for them, and go on the talking head's shows and tell us.

They are Obama, Peloisi, Clinton voters. You can tell that just by which groups are behind these protests and by looking at the protestors.
If 5-10% are over 30 (by your own estimation), then the big majority could not vote for Clinton. Even some of the over 30s were not old enough to vote for Clinton. So your claim that they supported Clinton is nonsense. Do you even realize that your posts don't make any sense?

Tea Party protestors are Main Street.

These people would boo a conservative while they applaud globalists like Obama and Pelosi and the Clintons who took taxpayer money to bail out Bank of America and other global corporations.

That's why everyone questions the motives of these protestors or if they really know what they're protesting.

Those low-life protesters don't even know what they're protesting or who best to protest against. They should go to Washington, DC and protest against the Obozo administration. These people are stupid and should be pepper sprayed and hosed-down with high-pressure water in all the locations they've chosen to protest.

It may have been "10 years of College down the drain" but Mr Blutarsky landed on his two feet as he grabed up Mandi and drove off on the road to the future in a new 1963 Oldsmobile convertable where I think he was called Senator Blutarsky of Pennsylvania.

By and large the Delta crew ended up in good standing. Hoover was public defense Attorney in Baltimore. Schoenstein was a struggling writer and drove a cab. Otter was a Gynecologist in Beverley Hill CA, Flounder was a businessman and the founder of "Encounter Groups of Cleveland". Pinto married his love the Mayors Daughter who became a US Attorney. The Stork became seriously rich and lived on his Patent royalties. Contrast this with the fate of the Omegas, Niedereyer was fragged by his own troops in the Nam and the Omega President ended up doing time as a former Nixon White House staffer.
