Paul Tells Iowans He Can Bridge Occupy Movement and Tea Party
|
When one looks at the defense of the OWS movement in the debates and the End the Fed signs that appeared at their demonstrations and also how he is the founder of the present-day Tea Party, this is a safe call to make by Dr. Paul
http://westdesmoines.patch.com/articles/paul-returns-critics-fire-during-stop-at-guideone-insurance
As rivals attacked him and Mitt Romney pulled ahead in a new CNN poll, Ron Paul touted his appeal among both Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street activists during a last-minute push in Iowa Wednesday.
The Texas Congressman told insurance company workers he’s the candidate who can bridge the gap between seemingly dissimilar angry Americans at both ends of the political spectrum.
Just days away from the Jan. 3 Iowa Caucuses, Paul is at the front of the pack in a new poll of likely Iowa caucus-goers released Tuesday by Public Policy Polling. Paul comes in first with 24 percent of support, followed closely by Mitt Romney at 20 percent and Gingrich a ways behind at 13 percent.
The Public Policy Polling analysis notes that Paul’s strength “depends on a coalition of voters that’s pretty unusual†for a Republican campaigning in Iowa. Paul has a 39-12 advantage over former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romeny with the 24 percent of likely caucus-goers who identified themselves as either independents or Democrats.
“I identify with both groups,†Paul said, responding to a question at a campaign appearance at GuideOne Insurance in West Des Moines Wednesday about the effectiveness of the Occupy the Caucuses movement that has pledged to occupy candidate headquarters and perhaps disrupt events this week.
“Both groups are unhappy about what’s happening around the country,†he said “The Tea Party thinks the debt is too big and government should shrink; the Occupation addresses the subject of the very rich.â€
Paul was careful not to appear in lockstep with the Occupy demonstrators, saying their opposition to the Wall Street bank bailout dovetails with his own criticism of the issue, while at the same time calling the movement “a mixed blessing.â€
“We should address that,†Paul said. “But the people who have gotten very wealthy in a free market by producing an honest product are different and shouldn’t be lumped togehter.â€
Paul said both the Tea Party and Occupy movements are healthy. “I think some people like to paint Occupy as on the left and the Tea Party as on the right, but it just makes my point that people are unhappy. They are just tired of it all.â€
If economic conditions in the United States worsen, Paul said, “the demonstrations on the street will get worse.â€

OWS has no idea what feasibly they can do. I think OWS and the tea party come from the same place. Disaffected morons. Ultimately the elite will use them to further their goals with a veneer of grass roots.
Wouldn't be hard to bridge the gap.
