Can we just get back to being sane, informed citizens for while?

I am getting annoyed with all this outrage.

Moderates rule, radicals drool!
The tea party PAYS for their permits when asked to.
They don't haven't been raping, killing or getting themselves arrested by the hundreds.
They are also CLEAN. :-)

I watched the OWS folks march first hand outside my apartment window here in Minneapolis. They were marching down major thoroughfares and disrupting traffic quite badly and had police escort the entire way. Yet, they were picking up people left and right to join in their march around town.

Personally, I have mixed feelings about them. They have the right idea, that things are unequal, but people here in the United States have a thing against protest... as ironic as that is.

I think the Tea Party and the OWS group could learn something from each other.

The Tea Party is comfortably at home, with 26 new Tea Party Congresspeople in power.....more to come in 2012!

Most of the dems are ows'rs already.

If they all live under bridges, would that not make them trolls?

The Tea Party never closed businesses and bridges or subways.

Big difference. The Tea Party folks never even considered pooping on a sidewalk.


The Democratic Party had better grow up - and fast. Because all these idiots are doing is hurting their own cause. I think that they want to be heard, but their wants are ridiculous. Forgive my student loan. Wealth inequality, when none of them are willing to work. America has deaf ears.

If these hippies want something - they're going to have to work for it.

The TP went home long ago and is reflected in the majority view of this country.

The TP is all about winning elections, which they continue to do in record numbers.

I doubt that real change will ever be made "at the ballot box".
