More than 700 arrested in Wall Street protest

and your opinions of the Tea Party? They seem to have a lot of time to stand around and hold signs up as well.

I don't know did they stand in front of a building for weeks on end? Wait..are you saying they take time off of work for a day to go to an event that is only going to last for a few hours? Wait..so you are saying... No...are you saying that...no it can't be, could it? Are you saying they have lives? Something to do tomorrow to better themselves that they can't and won't just stand around for weeks on end not working to better themselves? I sure hope they asked for free stuff. Wait..they didn't? Well ****, the comparison just falls right on its face. Don't you just hate that?

I'm just going to address this portion. Sure, techincally it is POSSIBLE. But is it likely? It is possible to win the lottery, but not likely that most will. And too often, good people can't see their real options. And it is not unreasonabel to note that the person who starts the race with a two lap headstart will likely win more often than the one who doesn't, or who is held back by some burden. So, while it is again technically true that success is POSSIBLE. It is fair to ask how likely it is? And to not praise those who get the head start too much or condemn those who have much to overcome too much. We should try and keep some perspective.

So you and the Wall Street protesters want to make success probable rather than possible. How do you plan on doing that?

Stop paying for Wall Streets failures with bailouts

I thought the right supported ending bailouts

I think the Tea Partiers have made their point and many Politicians understand it. Now they're just waiting around for the elections while the left continues to draw attention to their idiocies.

The government should not have passed the ridiculous banking regulations that led to the mess we see now. Fanny and Freddy should never have been created,

The right, by and large, does not support bailouts. The Left obviously does.

Fanny and Freddie didn't bailout the banks. bush* did

The wingnuts on the right want to pretend that it wasnt bush* who gave out all the free money, and he didn't give it to hippies

That's a week long protest.

Health care for all is a liberal tenet? Damn it is good to be a liberal. It's not a liberal protest. Either they are being sarcastic or they are trying to make a point (I think they may be talking about abortion when they say "Health care for all").

Are you tired of big insurance?
 
Here's a thought about these protests....They are GOING to become violent. At some point, this is inevitable. We have multiple wars that most in this country oppose, and declining lifestyle due to economic woes to boot. We have a system of banking that owns the majority of realestate in this country, as in, the physical property. And they can, it seems, take what you thought you had bought away from you at any time, for numerous reasons. We have had various movements in the past 6-8 years now, aimed at getting different people in office, people that will withstand the lobbyists' best charms, only to receive more "business as usual" results. Anyone in here ever hear of a little group called the Weathermen? They also had a problem with unpopular war, and they did **** about it, violently, in the 60s and 70s. I would say it's only a matter of time before it comes to americans bombing american soil again, and I would also say that our current administration (as if there is ever any change in administration to necesitate the need to include the word "current") knows this. It's why the keyt components of the patriot act remain in place, so that our law enforement and military can better crush any and all civil disobedience, be it in the form of "violent" protestation, or in the form of blowing up the convenience store down the street.
 
It was my understanding that the intent behind these protests was to try to hamstring Wallstreet, since it is becoming more and more clear who it is that runs our government...?
 
I am not sure. But I do know that I am so tired of off topic posts that I am going to start a sit in a Debate Politics Inc.

What are you aren't getting is it was a protest that had two sides. One side was for the healthcare law, the other side was against it. What you are also forgetting is that it was an important time to stand up so people took time off work. A few days of vacation if you will. However, to say that a week is comparable to this that supposedly going to last a month with just demands for free stuff is not workable and you know it.

I understand that but they were certainly a huge part of the problem, both with their regulations and with their corruption.

Bush was part of the problem as well and why his approval ratings sunk so low. He called himself a "Compassionate" Conservative and this, it seems, led to his fuzzy thinking on some economic policies.

Bush WAS a neocon in every sense of the word. He supported military involvement in the world like a neocon and he had a tendency to be very liberal on social issues like a neocon. Whichever way you put it he was neocon. Neocons like him like to say they are compassionate conservatives but they actually are liberals that enjoy fighting.

Yes...and dont hold me to this but I believe they lowered the requirement to 50 or more...
but its doubtful this protest like many have a permit....professional or experienced protesters know...theres no way they can arrest or would
arrest 2-3,000 people for assembly without a permit....i
