I am an American citizen, work for an American company, pay US taxes, and registered voter in Virginia. I could care less if Germans do or do not bail out Europe.

Also, some of the largest OWS donors are actually Mitt "Flip Flop" Romney supporters:

So who is more anti-working class? The teabagger loons or the OWS loons?
Give the laptop back to mommy, little one.

Please. Corporations and the Koch brothers love the Tea Baggers. They fund the Tea Baggers .

Why?

Because Tea Baggers want to shrink government so the Corporations can come in and fill the power vacuum more than they do now. The Tea Party is the best thing that happened to greedy corporatists.

OWS is NOT against capitalism....they are against CRONY capitalism.

And the only way you fight crony capitalism is to get good people into government to fight corporate greed.

fyi those ports were closed with the help and permission of unions. So OWS did not impose this on the workers in those ports. They joined with the unions.

How the hell is that anti worker?

So because you don't have anything to run on you're going to run on the negative stupid party ticket and completely abandon "Hope and Change™."

People are completely tired of folks like yourself. You're the Debbie-Downer and the reason the country doesn't have enough confidence in itself to move forward.

Your tactics are divisive, derisive, dismissive and unusually pessimistic. All of those facts lead to the obvious conclusion that you understand you're going to lose so the best thing you can do is turn into the despotic demagogue that your side always loves to fall for.

The Tea Party is not anti-working and neither is OWS.
Although OWS is anti-capitalist they haven't exactly come out with what type of system should replace capitalism.

The people who ARE anti-working are pro government subsidies and don't care who is in office as long as they get their freebies and don't have to work for them. These people have no party affiliation.

You know that OWS is anti capitalist in most part?

That's absurd. Post where you learned this?

[don't bother with some absurd interview with a single odd ball either, I want to know where you get the idea it's anti-capitalist in general]

I dunno.
The shame is that it now seems that ANY genuine grassroots movement for positive change in the US is going to be vilified and crushed by one side or the other, with the total complicity of the lap-dog media thereby taking away what was once the publics most powerful political tool.
