They did start out protesting Wall Street and the bailouts that were handed to the banks ostensibly so they could loan money to us, but in reality so they could loan the government back their own money at interest. I saw a video explaining these mortgage bailouts where they clearly explained how the banks were being paid by our tax dollars to foreclose on our properties. You can cheerlead for these crooks if you want, but I'll take the other side every time.
Where did you see any cheerleading for the kleptocrats in my comment? Did you just make that up? Evidently you haven't managed to get off of your partisan hobby horse yet. That's right... it's Bush's fault... it's the GOP... the Occupy movement is a clever plan by Karl Rove. You see, you're as much part of the problem as the financial crony's you rail against. You fall short of seeing the whole picture, recognizing where the real blame lies. There's no left or right when it comes to politicians robbing the taxpayers money and distributing the wealth between themselves and their favorite "charities." But you'll scurry to your partisan stronghold, acting as a useful idiot for your party while they are screwing you up you're rear. You're no more part of the solution than those jerks at the Occupy encampments. Stop chasing the partisan phantoms and stand back and realize that the whole system is corrupt. Once you see that clearly, then get back to me.
HAHAHA - You need to go back and read my comments then trot out you "revelation". If you were to do so, you might just find out that I'm a Republican and that you're now saying what I've been saying for years.

First off... I'm not going to go back through weeks of comments just to "find out" anything. I don't like you that much to spend that kind of time researching your various views. I was commenting on your comment on this thread... that's it. Anymore than you you can't know that I've been saying the same thing for years. I'm not just saying this "now." And if you are a Republican, then you are still part of the problem. Stop chasing partisan phantoms and stop being a useful idiot.
You are a cheerleader (read shill) for the rich and you call me a useful idiot... Don't you find it interesting that as soon as the OWS movement started becoming mainstream, all the talking heads started talking about "dirty hippies" and guess who showed up. Partisan phantoms indeed - you were the one who brought party into this discussion, not me, so take your own advice.

Whew... you really have your head caught up your ass... don't you? All kinds of little conspiracy theories spinning around your little noggin. And when did I use the term "dirty hippie?" You must have me confused with someone you met in a drug induced haze? Ok... here's some breaking news. I report directly to the Rockefeller family. Usually by email, but once a year we all scurry into the woods and have a secret meeting and decide on our political targets for the up coming year. This past year the membership of the Bilderberg Group (TM) voted on talking down Herman Cain and trashing dirty hippies. Oops... I said "dirty hippies." Well... ok, you were right about something.
It's two months ;til Christmas and already it seems
That all over Occupy WS the begging begins
The hands are all out with a hope and a prayer
That some good samaritan will put something there
It's started already, with the Christmas decor
Hey gimme a tree, and some lights for the door
My kids won't have squat, cause the economy's rotten
It's all Bush's fault, in case you've forgotten
My boyfriend left me, or my ol' lady split
I moved from Wisconsin, and I ain't got sh**
I need me some gas and free pack of smokes
And some medical grass, what is this, a joke?
Some dude in his pickup told her go get a job
I guess he don't care for the story of sob
The state cut his welfare, LIHEAP cut her lights
So it's all up to you to make this thing right
So bring to them bus fare, Ipods and gold
An x-box, a laptop, some money that folds
Your pickup, your washer, your spare Chevy car
Just stop what you're doing, wherever you are
Remember it's Christmas, the holiday of gift
So let's all remember just what that day is
Let's look in the bible, please show me the words
That says to give all my stuff to the bums that won't work
