Stirrings of a third political party? It would be hard to imagine it being worse than the two we have now.
This was not the first time Occupy Wall Street and Tea Party members have met. But it was among the first such meetings to be held with a stated objective of determining whether the two groups might cooperate on certain common issues. Robinson said that he hoped to spark an evolution for both organizations, which thus far have largely confined their public interactions to attacks on one another’s ideologies or grooming habits.
“We need to kiss and make up a little bit,” said Robinson, a Richmond entrepreneur and developer with a baby-smooth pate and a self-described ADHD-truncated attention span. “It might be a small step, but I’m hoping we can make a little bit of history here tonight. When I listen to either side, it becomes very clear … I feel that we have a lot of similarities.”
[...]Similarities far outweighed differences.
/T., read your linked article. Good points. Next time leave the “www” off the link…

“…These inequities are what drive the OWS protests. People don’t want handouts. It’s not a class uprising and they don’t want civil war — they want just the opposite. They want everyone to live in the same country, and live by the same rules. It’s amazing that some people think that that’s asking a lot.
I love the caption under the photo, but I learned as a cancer survivor that as long as you are breathing you should not say it can’t get worse.
My opinion is that America has become a fascist state and the Constitution has been permanently buried. We need a new government from the ground up not just a new party of the same old lying crooks.
In theory they should be able to cooperate. Not sure about in practice. The Occupiers seem to want to grow the nanny state and blame everything on private enterprise while the Tea Party blames sold out politicians and want to shrink government at least in part because it is wasteful, inefficient, and busy selling everyone out.
The power behind Obama created the OWS movement in coordination with Obama’s class warfare rhetoric .
They were so certain Romney would be the man to beat, Mr. Wall Street.
What Uncle Dave & crew won’t discuss is why they aren’t extolling all the hope and change Obama wrought, why they aren’t confident people want 4 more years of Obamageddon.
Ask Average Joe American “Are you better off than before Obama got into office,” and he answers “#$@!! No!
That’s why eitard and crew misdirects from the total fail of Obama…with crap about the Tea Party they hate…
Its all smoke and mirrors, about whether Newt is divorced…rather than all the lost hope and rotten change brought on by Obama.
Bless you for trying to explain the terminlogy to the noobs!
