This may sound strange but I neither support or deride the OWS movement although I am sympathetic because I find it an interesting outpouring of populist anger very similar to some aspects of the Tea Party.

Lol. Good Catch.

That is the main reason I made it so people could see who vote what rather than have it hidden, and have those with an agenda try and spin the poll a different way.

With it open and transparent, those that vote will vote based on where they stand.

Exactly right, but you know what, it is not working.

There is a plan. I like it.

A good example of crony capitalism is the Solyndra scandal but the OWS crowd is okay with it because Obama is on their side.

No, Obama is not on their side. The sooner they learn this, the more successful they'll be.

My niece has spent time talking with some of the OWS folks in NYC. She said she had seen some anti-Obama signs, not a ton tho. I'll be talking with her again in the next few days. Maybe the bigger protests on the weekends might reveal more on this.

So, lets see what the poll for this board reveals.
I was unable to take part in your poll because I couldn't find anything I agreed with because you had to include parts in two choices that I just couldn't go with both.
