This man will never become president. Which is a shame.


Probably the only Republican candidate that understands what this movement is actually about, not about handouts or wanting rich people to be poor.

I feel like John Huntsman also has a modicum of support for Occupy. He and Ron Paul seem like the most logical of the group.

The slogan 'we are the 99%' seems somewhat hypocritical given that the protesters make up a microscopic proportion of the genuine 99%, are unelected, and definitely don't represent me.

The argument is that they are part of the 99% of Americans whom are controlled by the 1%, and many of the people who oppose them are actually part of the 99%, they are just refusing to accept it or ignorant of it.

In other news, London has placed Occupy London on their domestic terrorism/extremist list along with Al-Queda. :problem:

I love that video. It's one of the few times that someone was actually able to say what they wanted on air, without being interrupted and ignored.

Bill Clinton

Occupy Wall Street has done more in the short time they’ve been out there than I’ve been able to do in more than the last eleven years trying to draw attention to some of the same problems we have to address

People started small riots in my country now... lmao this is laughable because they have no idea what they are rioting for... they keep saying they fight for freedom and liberty yet 90% of them are drunk or stupid adolescents from the "ultras" groups...
