From the onset, it appears that they do.
Obama and fellow Dems have little to nothing to run on. Bad economy, no jobs, and Obama did not keep his promises to the Democratic base about GITMO, the Patriot Act, wiretapping laws, a public option being a necessity within the health care reform bill (or else Obama would not sign it) and so on. Obama and fellow Dems did not make Card Check and amnesty for illegals (along with the rest of the aforementioned) their first priorties, even though Obama ran on these promises. And so they must get the base out some way to vote AGAINST Tea Party candidates and other conservative Republicans.
If elected Dems and their MSM shills cannot get the Democratic base base to vote FOR elected Dems, then they will try to get their base to show up to vote AGAINST Republican candidates on election day 2012. Viola...Occupy Wall Street.
First off, this anti-banker, anti-Wall Street fervor is three years after the fact, and three years after the bailouts. And, more importantly:
Democrats and their establishment MSM shills have recently pounded the false claim that in 2009, the Tea Party movement was begun by the Koch brothers, so as to protect bankers and Wall Street. The Tea Party movement has its genesis in the Ron Paul Revolution and that movement is about as anti-banker bailout as you can get. That is fact. Period.
Supposedly, out of nowhere, here comes the occupy Wall Street mob and their message is "change", down with the bankers and down with Wall Street.
Occupy Wall Streeters are unruly, they are mobbish, and they started the lie that they were lured across the bridge despite the video proof that the NYPD warned them ahead of time about what would happen if they blocked traffic on the bridge. There have now been over 750 arrests.
We may have to wait and see what this astroturf movement morphs into, if indeed it does morph into something. But it appears to be an movement started by establishment DEMS to protect those whom the Democratic base likes to call DINO'S (Democrats In Name Only), as the Democratic base isn't too pleased with them right now.
I may be wrong about some things. We may just have to wait and see where this goes...
Yeah sure, but they git to wear those very cool Warner Bros corporate made-in-China ‘Guy Fawkes’ masks.
These thugs are supporting Obama in his War on Capitalism.
But they have managed to get arrested and make a mess so I guess they have that going for them.
