Miserable, spoiled and angry children is how I'm viewing them lately. They just can't stand it that everyone around them isn't miserable, too. It looks like they're destined for a time out in the upcoming '14 and '16 elections.

I am 50 years old.... I am starting to wonder if there will be another Republican President in my lifetime. Just think if George Bush was the last one.

If Hillary decides not to run which is a very real possibility, I will bet on Christie to win. Just the odds as I see today.

Wow! What a difference a year makes. A year ago, the OWS crowd were the darlings of this board for members who lean to the left.

I'm pretty sure they're referring to teabaggers more than
OWS, whom I regard as having the better basic message, but unfortunately lacked the maturity to conduct themselves properly.............

......assuming the violence wasn't fomented by professional instigators.

Also known as the police force, when you get all dresssed up in riot gear any assembly of more that six people looks like a riot.

I suppose this indicates that liberals realized fairly quickly that adopting a bunch of protesting misfits as the core constituency of their party was a mistake. Many in the GOP don't seem to realize this when it comes to their own protesting misfits (the Tea Party). The more the GOP sucks up to the Teabaggers, the more crucial independents they lose.
