Have any of the Tea Party Protestors have been known to break into a building, shattered windows, sprayed graffiti, and set fires along the way???


Absolutely not. Most of them have to be back at the home by 6 PM.

I think the best thing the Occupy movement could would be to start a bank, and run it the way they want it to be run. Don't pay the CEO and executives too much, treat the customers right, don't make sketchy loans, don't foreclose on bad mortgages, don't charge annoying fees, the whole enchilada.

That could make a huge difference.

lol! The tea party is upset about corporate power and corporate influence in government??

SINCE WHEN?

The Tea Party is essentially a corporate product.

I've never once heard a TP rep complain about corporate influence. Instead, the opposite is true. Every TP guru I know completely supports the Supreme Court's recent decision to allow corporations to funnel unlimited funds into political campaigns. The "lobbying problem" has never been a problem for the Tea Party, so I don't know what Brackite is talking about.
