TAMPA The heat, the chanting, the marching: It was all becoming too much.
Protesters, who were scheduled to occupy companies owned by Mitt Romney's Bain Capital empire all day Thursday, were having a tough time mustering the gusto.
The plan was to start at a Domino's Pizza, about two blocks away from unofficial RNC protest headquarters Romneyville in downtown Tampa.
But after lunchtime, the tents were looking pretty cozy.
It didn't sit well with one Occupy Wall Street protester, a 21-year-old woman who would only identify herself as Ducky.

Tarah Colon, who is living in Romneyville with her 11-month-old son, said she also has experienced problems living there." .... Colon's 16-year-old was born in a tent city."...

You don’t usually see OWS types being as blunt in their message of greed. Of course she misses the irony.

Occupy takes up shop in Tampa. The same Occupy that Ron Paul supported.

I’ll bet a lot of them would give anything to be back at home in moms basement.

on a private lot, owned by some night club owner. The local businesses and residents have been pleading with the owner to kick them off, but he refuses. Fortunately, Joe Redner (strip club magnate and big lib, the guy you're talking about) is kicking them out by September 15.

Umm, a boot belongs on a foot, not a head. I think this picture sums up the level of sense in the Occupy movement.I think it just the result of putting your foot in your mouth and trying to shove your head up your behind, at the same time.

This shows that the Occutards are nothing but mooches and lazy libtards who, if left to their own devices, would die from their own ignorance in less than a week.
These people are who want to tell us how to live or who to support? A bunch of pathetic whiners is all they are.

This is awesome. As a Tampa resident, I hope this encourages the RNC to come back every 4 years. The protestors can’t handle it!

DOH! Missed the one on the left.
To: dfwgator
I guess the weather had a lot to do with it but
the protests and protestors sure seem lackidasical
as though their hearts aren’t in it.
It will be interesting to see if they take it out on
the DNC and Obama for letting them down.
I would laugh and frolic in a lake of their bitter tears.
