I find it odd these so called "innocent unemployed people" are out campaigning for the leader of a party

Where do you get that information?

From the very first occupy protest. They were complaining they couldn't get good paying jobs, because they were swamped with student loans. They believed it was "unfair" the rich bankers got bailed out and they didn't.
The unions and Oboma reelection teams showed up within days and took over their movement. I believe it was to silence the original complaint, because the original complaint made Oboma look pretty bad. He wants - needs - those college student votes. Complaining about a lack of good paying jobs would have been a problem for Oboma.

PS...think back. When the occupiers first arrived, a lot of people agreed with them. The banks should not have been bailed out simply because they were in cahoots with the government. Remember? The subject was about good paying jobs not being available for average citizens to pay their own bills, yet the banks got a bail out at the tax payers expense. That was the reason for the FIRST protest. After that, the radical left took over the movement, and now it's just a communist vs. Capitalist thing. It has nothing to do with, nor is it anything like, the original reason for the protest.
I'm sure the original protesters want nothing to do with this bunch that's protesting today. They have nothing in common.
