Do you support the Tea Party, or do you support the 'Occupy Wall Street'?

The Tea Party are filled with people who work or are retired workers who want us to shrink government and debt.

The OWS are full of anarchist and people who hardly ever worked in their life and want all kinds of handouts.

Tough choice... NOT!

There were too many question marks in the title and smiley faces in the post for me to take this question seriously.

The people that make up the movement are the same. The only thing that's changed is that we now have self-proclaimed "leaders" of the movement. You can say what you want about them, and you may often be right, but the movement doesn't exist without its supporters, and they (we) are the same people with the same noble intentions.

Neither.

The Tea Party was alright back when it was Ron Paul supporters, but now it's been hijacked by the far-right and the religious conservatives. Nobody takes them seriously anymore.

OWS doesn't really have a specific message... just seems like they're protesting for the sake of protesting.

Every American should be supporting the original messages of both Occupy Wall Street and The Tea Party.

It's ashame that the Mainstream Media has so much power to be able to convince most Americans to not pay attention to the original purpose: The collusion between Big Government and Big Business must be stopped in order for Americans to again have representation within our Government.

But no, pay attention to the crazed "Occupy Protestor" taking a $h!t in the park and pay attention to the lone nutjob "Tea Party Supporter" with the racist sign. These things are much more important.
