Watch what 2012 election will produce: independent people replacing those politicians whose allegiance is to Grover Norquist, and Obama will have an easier time to get his programs passed. Things are looking better after Jan 2013.

'I'm not sure why the GOP and FOx News Republicans are so against OWS' OWS against the one percenters and unbridled, unregulated free market capitalism, greed and record wealth disparity. Plus need to keep their base of poor uneducated rural whites from ever jumping ship from guns, god and gays to their own economic self interest..

One very big difference between the Tea Party and OWS. The teapers claimed that they were not happy with the politics and wanted to change it. And they wanted to use the same tools that they were tired of: political process. In other words: They want to grab power. The OWS on the other hand have done nothing like that. No signing of pledges, nothing. They are tired of the system and they want to change the entire system beginning with the banks and Wall Street. I have not heard anyone say that they want their people in power. Their goals have universal appeal and has caught fire in other countries. The Teapers' movement has remained localized to the US only since it want to grab power here by using the democratic process. Their actions remind me of how Hitler grabbed power using Germany's democratic process at that time. After I read about Gaddafi's execution, my thought turned to Bashar Assad as the next target followed by Rush Limbaugh and FOX News. You wonder why? Limbaugh is spreading so much of hatred, it is time to give him a taste of his own hatred so that he says "Never again will I preach doom and gloom. I will see the brighter side of every issue." Being a US citizen does not give you any right to "preach the death and destruction of American values and American society" which Limbaugh and FOX News are doing. If they cannot drive the message of "Yes we can", they need to shut up.
