In the midterm elections.

Didn't we end up with so many tea party republicans in congress because these protestors didn't show up to vote in the midterm elections?

We can assume most of the protestors are democrats who voted for Obama in 08. So had they showed up to vote in decent numbers in the 2010 midterms then maybe Obama wouldn't have had so many tea party people in office to deal with whoes main agenda is to oppose anything that he proposes for helping the economy.

They do vote. How else to you explain Obama, Pelosi, Frank, Clinton, and the big spenders in Washington DC who keep bumping up the national debt and sending our jobs out of the country and importing cheap labor by the tens of millions?

The problem with the OWS is that it has exactly the government it wants. Obama is very much a globalist, doing all he can to have the American workers displaced with much cheaper workers.

This seems to be a big problem with the ignorant and uneducated, that don't think things out before they spew some crap.

How many New York house seats in congress, went to Tea Party supported candidates, in 2010? Was there a Senator up for election that got booted?
Did the State legislature go Republican control?


There are only 8 house seats held by Republicans from NY. and they are not Constitutional Conservatives.

There are 21 Democrats sitting in the US house, from NY


Gillibrand and Schumer are not exactly Tea Party material.

Is this your way of saying you'd rather not have a choice of NAFTA or NAFTA? Perhaps your poli party shouldn't have authored it?

So whom is permitted to be anything else but a globalist in the current political landscape? Tea supports globalism.

Tea baggers are walmart shoppers in for a rude awakening. Walmarts margins were hinged upon currency disparity the same way Soros made his money (minus inventories). Irony; Chinese folks fill the shelves of Walmart with their labor but they'd rather not shop there. Walmart is in a steady decline and those low prices are going extinct.

So whatever Obama is or isn't, he's the first paltry sign of protecting national interest I've seen since the 70's save for Ross Perot insisting we have a better deal than outright piracy or competing brands of slavery.

I wonder how many of those protesting up in Boston are responsible for keeping Barney Frank in power.

You know, Barney Frank as in Fannie/Freddie debacle, Fannie/Freddie excused from certain oversight rules.

Also, Frank was in NY the other day to get big fat cash donations from...............drum roll please................Wall Streeters.

A real man of the people.
