YA AIN’T SEEN NUTTIN’ YET!

What's a movement if it isn't being heard?

The current Occupy 'whatever' is the movement being heard, and the "tea party" is silent, as far as I can tell.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Those who scream the loudest, get the attention.

Right now, the perception is that, the tea party is no longer active, and that the "Occupy Wall Street" movement is how Americans feel right now.

Whether that's true or not doesn't matter. What matters is that, they're getting the attention, and the media is making sure that they get a lot of attention, and the people at home are being misled.

Astroturf or not, the "Occupy" movement is winning the argument right now.

The tea party is dormant and ineffective right now. The other side is winning the argument.

How peculiar. Who do you think is casting winning votes for Cain in organized straw votes every week or so? Who do you think is showing up to protest Obama's appearances when he is out selling his BS? What else do you expect people to do right now?

As for the OWSers, I say let them have all the air time they want. The more they show of themselves the less cred they will have. Remember, the far left is a tiny sliver of the electorate, and the media is in the bag for them already anyway. But the mainstream of the country is as always, ceneter-right, and the Tea Party is right there.

If you call pooping on cop cars "winning". They may be dominating headlines, but that isn't always a good thing.
