state + local

The Tea Party has a very good cause. The mobs that are in the streets of Wall Street are nothing but a bunch of 60's hippies children. This protest is doing something positive: it is taking the supposedly young adults out of the house they are mooching off their parents.

"Jobs, not cuts" what does that even mean? What kind of jobs to they want? And what crimes has wall street committed that haven't been prosecuted? The message really lacks clarity!!!

Doesn't Ellison understand that he is a big part of the problem? He's not that special.

They-just like you Ellison, are kool-aid drinkers, not tea drinkers!

The socialist agenda by the Congressman and all his Union bosses is all that this is about. I would love to take all these days off from work and protest as they did in WI, and these people are now doing all accross the country. BUT I have to work to make a living and do not ask anyone else to help me do that. I say get a live all you progressives, admit you are socialist and try to sell that to all the hard working people in this country. YOU will loose every time.

The Tea Party and Flea Party people with the same radical, extremist agendas. Both are dangerous, the Flea Party constituency smells a heck of a lot worse.

re: maverick30usOct. 12, 11 9:48 PM The Tea Party has a very good cause. The mobs that are in the streets of Wall Street are nothing but a bunch of 60's hippies children.... Why is the Tea Party's cause to burn down the country a good one?? Fact is those protesting are people tired of corporations getting all the breaks and benefiting from the labors of the American middle class without giving ANYTHING back. It's great to see real Americans protesting to take this country, not back, but forward.

re: his protest is doing something positive: it is taking the supposedly young adults out of the house they are mooching off their parents.... Gotta love right wingers. They criticize Obama for high unemployment then criticize American's for being lazy. Which is it?

Which political party held the presidency and both houses of congress when almost all of these bail-outs happened? Which president has a jobs czar and the CEO of General Electric which profited billions but paid no federal taxes? Which president took over 2 of 3 major US car corporations and bailed them out? If these wall street protestors had any brains they would turn their anger to the democrats and their corporate cronies. The tax codes were written by Democrats such as Charlie Rangel, Chris Dodd and Barney Frank wrote the tax codes for the corporations.

The tea party is an ASTROTURF organization funded and carefully promoted by Dick Armey's Freedom Works, Glen Beck and the Koch Brothers. The OccupyWallstreet movement is an authetic grassroots movement and is NOT being carefully directed and organized from above. And that's why the Cons are so scared of the OW "mobs". It's quite true, you never know for sure what a "mob" will do. At least none of the OW bunch have shown up with guns strapped to their legs the way the teapubs love to do.
