Oh sorry I got a differen't vibe from what you said lol, i was think you were basically going for the " Tea Party is owned by corporations man"

Oh naw

I have my problems with the Tea Party but I genuinely believe that they're a grassroots movement.

Comparing the Tea Party to the Occupy movement is kinda apples to oranges. The Tea Party has an established hierarchy with substantial corporate funding and Republican support while Occupy is basically anarchy.

I dont really believe that being a Tea Partier myself, but even if that were the case, still much much better than the shit occupy pulls.

The Tea Party politicians lead to the debt ceiling crisis, I have no respect for them at all.

I'd rather see an entire city of crapped on cars than a nation thrown off of a cliff after halfway climbing up the first one.

A grassroots movement gone horribly wrong.

AFAIK, they actually did start off grassroots and neutral-republican. They ended up as a proxy for richer beings though.

A grassroots movement gone horribly out of the news cycle.

Has the Occupy movement not maintained its original methods, values and beliefs?

It's really hard to determine what exactly are Occupy's values and beliefs, at least beyond the most general of terms.

And I would consider that maintaining of their vague ideas a success!

At least now I have evidence to show to my family that the Occupy Movement is most certainly not the Democrat's Tea Party.

I always find it funny that the people who actually are among the 1% feel the need to protest the 1% of their 1%.

Such ignorant fools.

Dirty hippies *garblegarblegarble*

meh, I would say " hordes of college students and hippies, plus some drugs and crying" as an overall look at the movement, but there are some legitament concerns.

I think it's actually the reverse. The vast majority have legitimate concerns while some hangers on are trouble-makers (I'll acknowledge that since I've seen it, but at the May Day parade, only one fellow out of four or five hundred was a real problem), though I bristle at the dirty hippie stereotype as an inherently negative one that allows us to dismiss concerns. I also see the homeless members and drug addicts as people with something to teach us. If we don't acknowledge our problems, we won't honestly have a discussion and ameliorate the situation.

That's why I never took Occupy seriously, they would always say the cops were being harsh and such

They were! You saw the UC Davis incident, right? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHxkv_TJCIg

Legal, no. But it's not usually met with any violence.

You're saying FreedomWorks and Tea Party Express don't bus in a lot of folks?

Woohoo the RNC is more convenience than DNC because if 2nd amendment is repealed we can't hunt .

So those DNC need to get out of our lives so as liberals to.
