Looks like the TPers are taking the back seat to the Occupiers on the networks. Awwwww, too bad. |

I see little difference between the two movements. They both represent the disappointment and frustration Americans have with the federal government. |

Not it doesn't. Why do you need to make things up? The difference I see between the two is while both are against corporatism, the corrupt crony capitalistic collusion of business and government, one tends to blame government more and the other business. No matter who you blame you can't have one without the other. |

The problem with OWS is they are too fractured in political philospies. Many have some legitmate concerns, but their movement could get sidetracked by the far lefties and the hooligans. They should be concentrating on Washington, not wall street. The extended campout just raises issues that could hurt their legitimacy. I wonder where the hell they were in 2010, when the Tea Party cut Obama off at the knees. As for the Tea Party, I think most of the rank and file are people just frustrated with the economic situation, who have been fed paranoia, by the leaders. The people behind it are just the same old right wing corporatists, who want minimal government taxation and interference. |

The Tea Parties are just as fragmented. Beyond some basic simple principles like smaller government, less taxes and more liberty, there is little agreement among the 1000s of groups organized at the voting district level. The local group I belong to started pushing social con religious values, we argued about it since the Tea Parties generally take no such stance, and it was dropped. So what paranoia have I been fed by what corporatists that leads me to argue so much against corporatism? |
