Poll: Voters Viewing Occupy Wall St. Unfavorably

mertex said:
The problem with Reps/cons is that they are assuming that OWS is made up mostly of Liberals, why the right-wing is too eager to bash OWS. If they would do some research before commenting on any issue they would appear less ignorant. FYI, OWS is mostly made up of Independents (who many times vote Republican, and other times vote Democrat), but FYI, there are also some Republicans represented in OWS. So, before you start feeling so superior, be aware that you are bashing those from your own party.

Ooooh oooh oooooh I can play:

Mine is much simpler and quicker to the point. :pimpdaddy:
 
OWS is also a true grass roots movement. They don't have any kind of consensus platform or really any kind of central organization. There's no question that a fair number of kooks have been drawn to the protests.

The main difference is that OWS is a true grass roots PROTEST, whereas the Tea Party has organized political rallies.

You might have a point if I had claimed that OWS was comprised mostly with liberals. Since I didn't, you wasted a lot of space.

And yours was dismissed when it had a heading called "what the politicians are saying" and Michael Moore was quoted.

Oh, I'm sure a Tea Party lover would say something negative about Republicans/conservatives - Bwahaha! give me a break!

And the same poll says that 31% think the Tea Party has been good thing for America, while only 25% think OWS has.

Anyone that would post something from a web site called Dangerous Minds and then try to make fun of the source of someone else's post doesn't have much standing.

So perhaps you pay your fair share. Now we need to go after the greeddy 47% who reap the benefits of massive government without paying for it.

If only the Republican Party had agreed with you during the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts.

No, I won't give you a break when you continue to lie.

Obama and dems in Congress didn't agree during the 2010 Bush tax cut extension last December.

Grass roots ???? That's a funny one:

On the surface, the "Occupy the Kochs: Guerilla Drive-In" event looked like any other "Occupy" movement protest against the proverbial 1 percent of the population who hold the nation's wealth.

But a confederation of long-established progressive political advocacy groups -- the Campaign for America's Future, Campaign for Community Change, Common Cause, Health Care for America Now and the aptly named Other 98% -- were behind Friday's protest.

Left, right, right, left...most people are somewhere in the middle, perhaps leaning a bit one way or the other depending on the issue. From what I read here, everyone wants to bottle everyone up into two groups when this is not how it is in reality. OWS is a "people" thing. While I personally think they are not all that bright, they have the right to stand in the rain if they wish and protest whatever they want to protest. We, as clear thinking individuals will remain at home, safe and warm and laugh at them on the news. years from now, they will sit back watching the next group of people doing something similar. wall street will remain intact, banks will continue to provide banking, rich people will still be rich and they will have wasted days off their lives for nothing. Have at it...I have better things to do.

Anyone who would defend a post that provides an article with no link, doesn't have much standing. Besides, it is Forum rules.

Forum rules ??? Perhaps you could point that out since I don't ever remember seeing such a rule.

You're really reaching now.

I'm not doing your work for you. You are supposed to read the rules when you sign up. It has to do with copyright material.

We should pay for government in the same way we pay for sewage service. Every month the government should send me an itemized bill for the amount of their sewage I consumed (yech). Then I should have to write a check and pay it. Every month. If every person who worked was presented with an itemized bill I can imagine lots of things would change.

Well that is certainly good news for Canada and Central America. The rich are always welcome here and are far preferable to the draft dodgers.

And those riots always make for good TV, viewed from the comfort of my living room.

Seems like a winner all around!

Tell me more about Canada.
 
Gill said:
yeah, you're right that most people don't know much about the OWS crowd yet. Just wait until they hear about all the rapes, thefts, drugs, assaults, etc., etc. that has been going on in their "camps".

I'm sure public perception will improve then.....

No one mentioned that Bill Clinton was involved.
