Priceless!

It's not all that hard to imagine ignorant citizens walking the streets. It's a lot harder to accept when all the conservatives in the country are backing the idiots running for the Republican nomination. Huge difference

entered the election so our choices are limited to those that have
decided to run for public office

In 2008, Barack Obama and the Democrats won the Wall Street sweepstakes by a nose.  In 2010, Republicans won it by a length.  In 2012, Wall Street may not let Democrats into the gates at all.  After the DCCC urged its e-mail lists to start signing petitions in support of Occupy Wall Street, the financial community told Democrats not to bother knocking on their doors at all

.....................................

In fact, many of them have already switched away from Democrats even before OWS appeared on Wall Street.  Politico interviewed a handful of fundraisers who have switched from Obama to Mitt Romney as part of their reporting on the subject.  That comes in reaction to Barack Obama’s regulatory adventurism and failed Keynesian stimulus efforts, but the sudden cheerleading for anarchists and nihilists almost literally at the gates of the financial sector is apparently the final straw.

My question is this: just who did these financial wizards think Democrats were, anyway?  They have been beating the class-warfare drums for years now, especially Nancy Pelosi in the House as Speaker and John Edwards in two successive presidential campaigns.  Both Obama and Hillary Clinton co-opted Edwards’ class-warfare populism in 2008, espousing confiscatory, predatory, and punitive policies towards capital even before Obama won in 2008.  The sudden adoption of full-blown class warfare by Obama was not a transformation, but the removal of a thin veil of reasonableness that had always been pretense rather than reality.

Glad to see that the wizards of finance have finally begun to realize who they backed, but it’s hardly impressive.  They clearly deserve an award that speaks to their cluelessness, if not their disingenuity, at their shock, shock at class-warfare cheerleading in the Democratic Party:

So ultimately it will only be perceptions which change and awareness which is cultivated, but no actual systematic change will be begotten from this? It makes sense as those in power will not so readily relinquish their power, yet when/if the day comes that it is made known that the power they allege to hold is in fact illusory and owes itself to the masses, whom are a major component in their reign, I believe that is when there will be a very noticeable collapse/change. You cannot hold power over those who will not comply in any shape or form.

To all the stupid people out there, everything you hate about America and it's "1%" you did to yourselves. You sell out your local business to save $.50 at Wal-Mart. You buy Japanese cars and clothes made in China to save a few bucks. Guess what, Wall Street and the Government did do that, we did. We want everything at the lowest price, demand that it be perfect and then sue each other when it isn't. We have the right of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness."



saw that on a youtube video, comment


makes some sense
