Quoted from Box A Rox
~ "Lobbyist"...  is there a dirtier word in politics? ~

The lobbying firm of Clark Lytle Geduldig & Cranford, propose the the American Bankers Association pay $850,000 to conduct
"OPPSITION RESEARCH" on Occupy Wall Street in order to construct "NEGATIVE NARRATIVES" about the protests and allied
politicians.
The memo also asserts that Democratic victories in 2012 would be detrimental for Wall Street and targets specific races in
which it says Wall Street would benefit by electing Republicans instead.
According to the memo, if Democrats embrace OWS, "This would mean more than just short term political discomfort for Wall
Street. … It has the potential to have very long lasting political, policy and financial impacts on the companies in the center
of the bullseye."

The memo also suggests that Democratic victories in 2012 should not be the the American Bankers Association biggest
concern:
"The bigger concern, should be that REPUBLICANS WILL NO LONGER DEFEND WALL STREET COMPANIES!"
(And the Bankers Assn can buy all this for a mere $850,000.00 bribe!)


Really, you should just stop posting...Your desperation in defending the 'pro-lice' movement is really just making you look even more dumb than you already are

Even though the words are typed, you can almost 'hear' the desperation in the tone of their posts.

"Don't post about this subject... It scares us on the Right"!

On top of all this, STD's and unwanted pregnancies will emerge. Right along with health issues due to their filth!

But hey....let's look on the bright side................the pot dealin' drug dealers are making a killing!!!

IDIOT!


Peace out, dude: Accused Occupy gun nut Joshua Fellows leaves his arraignment related to an earlier protest this week. Cops say he had an unregistered handgun in his car.

With friends like these ...
Obama pretends to sympathize with Occupy, but protesters get no reforms, no candidates — no impact

Last Updated: 4:53 AM, November 20, 2011

Posted: 9:44 PM, November 19, 2011

This week an eccentric Midtown Manhattan newspaper editorialized, seemingly with deadpan irony, that “The Occupy Wall Street protesters had achieved a great deal” before the forces of Mayor Bloomberg literally cleaned the scum out of Zuccotti Park.

In fact, the sum total of what Occupy Wall Street has accomplished is zero. The media that defend OWS claim that it is a success because it has . . . gotten lots of media coverage. But inspiring chat around the national watercooler is not an achievement. If media mentions equalled political importance, we’d all be waiting for President Kardashian’s big speech about Iran.

350 posts... on an issue that these Right Wing Nuts consider trivial.

The Democrats are closer to the OWS movement than the Conservatives are, but OWS is my no means a Democrat Party
operative.  The Left stands almost as much to lose as the Right if OWS succeeds.

You need a goal in order to succeed, what goals they used to have were quickly watered down by other protesters with different causes. Those who were truly against crony capitalism should have moved on long ago because this movement isn't going anywhere. Me and other are interested in it because we just want to see what comes next and how bad these scumbags can act.

Damn It!  You Have To Have A Goal!  We Say So!

Clueless Righties complain that there are no goals... no printed on paper decree, no list of demands written in stone...

If you consider 'success' to be, an awakening of conversation, a renewed interest, or a beacon highlighting  the many
issues associated with Occupy Wall Street...
Then you'd have to agree that Occupy Wall Street IS ALREADY A SUCCESS.

(Just look at how much of this board shifted from whiny TeaBaggers crying about paying their taxes, to Banks,  Government/Corporate alliances, and Corporate owned politicians.  Before OWS, the MSM featured TeaBaggers demanding tax cuts... now TeaBaggers are extinct on the nightly news.)

The problem is the issues they once raised are now gone, there is nothing uniting them no more, I could ask 10 different protesters why they're there and I will get 10 different responses. This is starting to remind me of those people who say Woodstock changed the world when in fact it did nothing, at least Woodstock had some decent music

I guess if starting a conversation is success, then the Federal Budget Super Committee was successful.  If all you have to do is get in front of a camera and TALK A GOOD GAME about the debt and spending problems and offer NO SOLUTIONS to the problem - you are successful.  

This is the result from the hippie idea that recognizing and rewarding success is bad, and as long as you are trying, you get a trophy.  This country is totally void of leadership, public education does all it can to castrate any leadership qualities like competitiveness and assertiveness and judgement.

People are easily controlled by government, when there are no charismatic leaders to coalesce the movement.

They are "awakening a conversation"?  What is this, some kind of academic exercise.

TRUE....VERY VERY VERY TRUE.....


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Occupiers remind us of worldwide nature of what they protest
Sunday, November 20, 2011
By Ken Moore

The protesters appear to be on to a piece of the bigger picture. No one, not even the protesters, can say for sure
what that something is. Nor can they say what Wall Street or government can do that would cause them to declare
victory and go home.
The 1 percent vs. the 99 percent is an important issue, but is perhaps more symptomatic of a far wider range of
economic issues that need informed debate that leads to decisions and execution of those solutions.

Alternative solutions
We need protesters who can generate alternative solutions to existing problems that will also allow them to keep
their Coleman tents and Land’s End parkas and contribute meaningfully in fixing corporate America, upon which
we all depend.
Potential solutions to what ails us come from all points of the spectrum.
Unfortunately, we have temporarily lost the ability to listen to opposing arguments so that their merits can be
debated in a responsible and open-minded manner. We’ll get that ability back, sooner rather than later.
