re: #42 engineer dog

the difference between OWS and the teabaggers is that OWS is protesting the unfairness of a reality where wall st gets a trillion dollar bailout and bonuses and the unemployed get lectures from herman cain about how it’s all their own fault

they are saying “we’re mad as hell at this economic unfairness and we’re not going to take it anymore”

the teabaggers are saying “we’re mad as hell at whatever the republican party tells us to be mad at and we’re not going to take any more delay in immediately implementing everything the republican party has proposed

it is even possible to imagine tea party protests under a republican president and congress?

billionaires getting all the breaks while people who are shit out of luck getting pious lectures and the back of the hand is something anybody can relate to

I for one can’t imagine the Tea Party protests taking off under a Republican congress and president. Call me a skeptic but it seems to me that the Republican base really only started giving a damn about the debt after Obama became president. Yes, there were individual conservative writers that criticized the Bush administration’s spending but there was no anger in the bae about his spending and many of the same Congressional Republicans who now rail against Obama for being a “socialist” had no problem supporting Bush’s spending. They’re hypocrites. Not to mention the fact they see nothing wrong with the government limit a woman’s legal right to choose or demonizing gay mariage.
