Occupy Wall Street Doesn’t Reflect American Sentiment Says. . . Sen. Joe Liebermann…

So Liebermann gets it and Boehner doesn’t?

(The Hill) — The Occupy Wall Street protests are not reflective of the opinions of most Americans, Sen. Joe Lieberman said Monday.

“The way this Occupy Wall Street is expressing itself is not reflective of the majority of people in our country,” Lieberman (I-Conn.) said on the Laura Ingraham show.

Lieberman also said that the anti-corporate protesters should mimic what the Tea Party did: form a clear platform and start participating in elections.

“This group ought to do what the Tea Party did,” Lieberman added. “It formed a platform and it got into the election.”

Critics of the protests have said Occupy Wall Street does not have a core set of complaints that make it a coherent movement.

    Thank you Senator Lieberman!

    If only you could get through to Bonehead and Cantor and those other wussies in the Republican Party.

    I want politicians to start attacking those pigs trashing up the cities around the country. Instituting violence against the cops who are trying to hold back.

    Screw the pigs and Obama and the rest of their accomplices.

    Does Sen Lieberman still caucus with the Dems?

    I’ll tell you what, the GOP in the Congress had better be covertly handling this administration’s continuing moves ‘politically’ to make O-hole look bad, because if they aren’t, with their inactions regarding him, then they really are inept … or worse. And thus toast.

    I’m sorry Maggie, what is your point? Which administration is making him look bad. He is doing it all by his self in a fine fashion.

    OWS platform:
    1) Communism
    2) Nazism
    3) Anti-Jew everything
    4) islamo moslim sharia (as long as we are exempt)
    5) osama obama worship
    6) Bongs for everyone
    7) Free everything ( but we won’t work)

    Party candidate : osama b.h. obama even though he is one of the 1%

    Boehner should nevber have been selected as speaker — he should be
    removed before he gives away the entire farm. He seems perfectly content to be a whore for the red regime!

    If just once he did the right thing! Even if only by accident!

    Should be easy to tell these aren’t regular voters, we have jobs and we know the right way to get our points across.

  12. Maggie says:

    My point is they are looking weak and even appeasing to Obama’s actions. To let him have as much ‘rope to hang himself’ politically is one thing. But doing/saying nothing to all his power-grabbing, taking over, and flat out destroying simply because they don’t want to appear extreme, and want people to believe they are the moderates, is dead wrong and will backfire.

    Liebermann must be up for election in 2012.
    He`ll say anything to look good among potential voters.

    Lieberman would be a better man if he would come over to the Conservative side.

    Actually, Joe said he does not plan to run for re-election in 2012. So who knows there this is coming from, other than his usual timely common-sense (on certain things).

    I’ve always liked Lieberman. He is a class act.

    “This group ought to do what the Tea Party did,” Lieberman added. “It formed a platform and it got into the election.”

    Well, not exactly.

    We’ve determined that it’s much easier to take over one of the existing political parties.

    Michael Goodwin over at the NY Post has some illuminating facts on the “Occupy” crowd.

    Meanwhile, donations of goods and cash pile up, with a reported $500,000 on deposit.

    The cash marks an embarrassment for a movement supposedly railing against capitalism and wealth, especially now that a radical group called the Alliance for Global Justice is legally sponsoring the protest. By lending its tax-exempt status — for a 7 percent cut! — the global-justice group allows donors to deduct their contributions from federal taxes and gives its own board control over the money.

    The alliance, based in Washington, is a hotbed of far-left causes that range from backing hunger strikes in California prisons to denouncing the CIA and oil companies. Its Web site says the group sponsors operations in the Gaza Strip, with Hamas, and boasts of an alliance with Anarchists Against the Wall, which contests Israel’s security barrier in the West Bank.

    The group suggests it has a relationship with Iran, supported the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua and expresses solidarity with Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez against the United States.

    For the 7 percent fee, it offers its tax-exempt status to “grassroots nonprofits” and provides payroll services, liability insurance and prepares federal tax forms. It also offers “activist training” — which is like job training without an actual job.

    Leiberman actually is rather conservative, at least on the BIG issues.

    When you dig into the small details, hes a lib.

    Hes a democrat we can work with. He has SOME sense. At least more than O-idiot and the gang. Remember, they kicked him out at one point. He was too smart for them.

    gastor, youre (kind of) wrong. We didnt take over a party. Were trying to maintain it. RINOs have taken over the Republican party, for the mostpart. Were trying to get it back to what it should be.

    When we can get the Boehners / McCains / Grahams out of it, we can really get things done.
