I thought OWS was irrelevant because they weren't going to remember to vote anyhow. You should at least pick a narrative and stick to it.

OWS was created by people for Obama's re-election campaign. Thats why he's been attacking evil wall street for the last year. What they didn't expect was the low quality of thugs and hippies that became the core. They expected it to last and carry him to the election. Instead it backfired and the dems all dropped support for the thing they created.

How does that make any sense when the majority of Obama's cabinet is made up of Goldman-Sachs execs, and everything he has done during his presidency was for the benefit of Goldman-Sachs and the rest of Wall Street?

OWS doesn't have any goals.

There is only one candidate that actually understands the roots of the OWS discontent, and how to properly address them.

OWS gave zero endorsements to Republican candidates.
It's clear who they intend to endorse.

Uh, no.
He endorsed the concept of voting for 3rd party candidates. He then mentioned the names of 4 running that the time. He did not endorse any of them specifically. If he had, she'd have been the least likely to get his endorsement.

Why would OWS endorse Republicans, when historically they've been the party who consistently supports the 1%?
Since when have anybody in the middle or lower class looked to Republicans as their saviors. Reps have despised the vanishing middle class for decades.

In thread after thread, you complained that OWS didn't have any goals.
Now, you are trying to claim they do.
What do you think their goals are?

Not that what I think is relevant to the question I asked you, but I think their goal is to ensure the reelection of the guy who gave political appointments to half of Wall Street.

Well, when it comes to deciding whether to answer one of your gotcha questions, a defining of terms always helps to figure out which way the gotcha is coming from.
Is Obama in bed with Wall Street?
Yes.
Is there another candidate out there, including Ron Paul, who would make it tougher for Wall Street to blow up the economy again while stealing everything that isn't nailed down, than the small measures Obama has taken and/or proposed?
No.
I would love to have a more progressive candidate running rather than the right of center Obama. 40 years ago, Obama would be categorized as a fairly moderate Republican, slightly to the right of, say, Nelson Rockefeller. Probably to the right of Nixon, for that matter. Someone like Russ Feingold would be the moderate Democratic candidate and someone like Bernie Sanders would be trying to move the discussion to the left a bit while someone like John Sununu would be trying to move the conversation to the right a bit.
But, that is not reality. Reality is either Obama or a right wing loon is going to be our next President.

This actually seems correct if we just look at what they have said about the financial sector. Pull in proposed tax policy and Huntsman doesnt seem to mesh with the theme of the OWS movement.
