The Flea Party’s Uphill Battle

Friday, October 14th at 9:32AM EDT

…To many top Democrats the OWS {Occupy Wall Street} crew looks like a winning candidate as the answer to the Tea Party. Except that it isn’t. The Tea Party is comprised of working Americans who want the government to get out of their faces. They are advocates for smaller governments with less spending and more mindful of the Constitution.

OWS, on the other hand, is largely comprised of neutered, over-educated and useless losers, many of whom don’t even know why they’re demonstrating, except that it might wind up somehow providing them with free stuff. Those few “intellectualsâ€

Increasingly we are becoming a divided society between those who work and those who take, amoral vs moral, it simply cannot end well.

I dont think so i attended a OWS today in Frankfort Ky.There were techers ,firmen, police, 3 lawers state workers,construction workers,garbage collecters,National Guard Military,factory workers,car salesman,buisness owners,retired people like myself and many more about 250 people.They were against the goverment and wall street just like the tea party i attended in same place 2 years ago.I attended tea party they had a few working class people there mostly retiries like me must to have been around 75 people there and id say 30 was retired.They were shouting the same thing less goverment control, less spending,and take our country back.Chants today leess goverment,less spending,time to take our country back,but one more that tea party didnt its time to put the people of banks and wall street in jail that broke this country.I dont see much difference in OWS and tea party they all saying samething.

The banks only reacted from govt. pressure starting with the CRA. Janet Reno threaten to make life a hell for them if they didn't play along. As one economist said, it would be disastrous when a recession hit. Fanny and Freddy were at the heart of this and look at them....the weren't even mentioned in the financial reform act and the govt KEEPS pouring money into them and AGAIN is pressuring them to give out loans to unqualified people. Hard to believe, but they are actually trying to start the whole process over. Frank and Dodd should go to prison.

Agreed,I believe those who bring about the failure of our economy should be in jail , I won't hold my breath but a perp walk for these individuals who see themselves above the law would make us all have a better outlook.

Yes I guess no money down,no credit check and in some cases no job is unqualified. And you're right,the two rascals are at it again with "The New Community Reinvestment Act 2010"And if that's not enough,They'll fix those evil bankers with "The Financial Regulatory Reform Act"Tons of goverment rules and regulations which will drive a lot of banks out of business!!

duckman,
I get what you are saying about the similarities of the two groups. The diffence between the two is the outcome that they want.

I think that OWS has turned into one great big catered party and from what I am seeing on TV and video, a lot of old hippies that stayed in school and want to relive their youth in the good old protest days of the 60's. A laast hurrah so to speak. I think that a lot of these people are just being used.

Please read my post. this is not any kind of a grassroots, organic demonstrtion. these people planned it for months and took classes.
I am disgusted with the Unions, socialists and the Democrats.

In someways your right.IM MAD AT ALL POLOTICS.THERE ARE NONE OF THEM GOING TO DO WHAT THEY PROMISE NO MATTER WHO IT IS OR WHAT PARTY.IT MAKES ME SICK EVERY 4 YEARS WHEN ITS ELECTION TIME.NOT EVEN IN YOUR LOCAL ELECTIONS.

They were shouting the same thing less goverment control, less spending,and take our country back.Chants today leess goverment,less spending,time to take our country back,but one more that tea party didnt its time to put the people of banks and wall street in jail that broke this country.I dont see much difference in OWS and tea party they all saying samething.

There are several big differences. For one, the Nazi Party and the Communist Party do not support the Tea Party, but they do support the OWS movement (see today's Drudge Report). George Soros does not support the Tea Party, but he does support the OWS (some say he is a primary source of funds). The Obama White House does not support the Tea Party, but there are direct links to OWS. The Democrat Party and DNC do not support the Tea Party, but numerous Democrat Party members of Congress have come out in full support of OWS. Michael Moore does not support the Tea Party, but he dropped by the OWS outing when it first started and praised the movement.

Birds of a feather flock together, and it sure looks like molting time on Wall Street.

One more comment. While the OWS may have mentioned the desirability of smaller government and less spending, this is not what is being reported in the MSM. Their emphasis is on attacking banks and financial institutions. However, they never seem to mention that it was OBAMA and the Democrat controlled Congress (at the time) who bailed out those banks and financial institutions that were too big to fail.

Your right Obama did bail them out,but wasnt Bush that took out the regulations to let them run wild and self destruct and ruin the country.OWS is not only against Obama their against the whole bunch in D.C. just like the tea party was.OWS WANTS TO GIVE MORE CONTORL TO THE PEOPLE,AND THE TEA PARTY WANTED TO GIVE MORE CONTROL TO THE PEOPLE.They both sides saying take our country back.No difference in opinion.
