I'm quite simple, actually.
Therefore, I tend to lean towards a simpler approach to the ills that America is facing. Taking care of yourself, being in control of your own health and fiscal responsibilities seems alot easier to handle than handing over all that responsibility to faceless government entities.
The first person I look to when I need help is myself. From education to health concerns, it is the individual that should be responsible.
Has the Tea Party made mistakes on their candidates?
Yup.
But we're young, we're new, and we'll get it right.
It's not making mistakes that a person should be judged by. But how a person does after the mistake is made.
Our government is populated by huge mistakes on both sides of the aisle.
Let's not endorse a movement (Occupy) that woiuld have us repeat the same mistakes,
Our government is populated by huge mistakes on both sides of the aisle.
You MIGHT find A COUPLE of people waving the U.S. flags marching with OWS, but in general the mayority of these protests and protesters do not show the American flag simply because what they want is a One World Socialist Government.
Most of the people in the OWS movement have swallowed the cool-aid of the world elites to implement a One World Government.

Democratising Global Governance:
The Challenges of the World Social Forum
by
Francesca Beausang
ABSTRACT
This paper sums up the debate that took place during the two round tables organized by UNESCO within the first World Social Forum in Porto Alegre (25/30 January 2001). It starts with a discussion of national processes, by examining democracy and then governance at the national level. It first states a case for a "joint" governance based on a combination of stakeholder theory, which is derived from corporate governance, and of UNESCO's priorities in the field of governance. As an example, the paper investigates how governance can deviate from democracy in the East Asian model. Subsequently, the global dimension of the debate on democracy and governance is examined, first by identification of the characteristics and agents of democracy in the global setting, and then by allusion to the difficulties of transposing governance to the global level.

Really?... care to PROVE your claim, or like always just your CLAIM is enough for you?...
I gave you SEVERAL videos of the OWS, watch them, and read the evidence I gave you...
As a counter-argument all you have done is "make more CLAIMS".

Has ‘Occupy Wall Street’ Been Sucked Into a Global Socialist Movement?
Based on a well-produced video circulating around the Internet, it appears that Occupy Wall Street is now officially part of a global push towards Socialism.
www.youtube.com...
This video makes connections between the Occupy Wall Street protests and:
Uprisings in Tunsia and Egypt – both countries where a “President” had been ruling those countries for 21 years and 30 years, respectively.
Riots in Greece sparked by talks of austerity and needed financial reforms in reaction to unsustainable social programs.
Do the American protesters want the same things as the people in Tunisia and Egypt demanded? If so, do they realize that means that they want the government removed and replaced?
The 15october.net group behind this video makes no bones about what they want. And while it may be too late for the Wall Street protesters to avoid being lumped in with this organization, they should know what the 15october group is really asking for.
Their intentions are posted online for all to see.
Consider just two from their list of five demands:
Faced with this material and existential precarity we demand the democratization of the economic system and European governance. This will allow the construction of a new economic model of social welfare based on two aspects: the guarantee of an unconditional access to income (basic income for everybody) and the effective and free access to social rights and common wealth (education, health care, housing, knowledge, environment).
Do the people occupying Wall Street really want -”the guarantee of an unconditional access to income (basic income for everybody) and the effective and free access to social rights and common wealth (education, health care, housing, knowledge, environment)?”
Housing… government housing for all is now part of the Occupy Wall Street demands? Perhaps someone should ask this question of the protesters.
And what of the group’s stance on immigration? This organization appears to support the dissolution of all borders – “We demand social, political and citizenship rights for all regardless of whether you have an employment contract or not. We demand the concession of these rights to all migrants living in European countries. We are all migrants. No one is illegal!”
The above was presented at last month’s meeting in Barcelona, hence the reference to European countries, but one must believe that they would make a similar demand for amnesty and the acceptance of all people in all countries.

are you trying to say the entire worlds protests are socialist?
all the protests going on around the world are all socialists?
that even though the process is horizontal democracy,
that this is socialism?
that all the working groups, all the people at all these marches are socialist?
your claims are now getting silly,
we have wall street traders helping us, are they socialists?
are you saying i am a socialist if i support ows?

Wow, you wish to change the USA so only certain classes have rights and liberty?
If your Christian and upper middle class you should have the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If your poor and on governmental assistance you think the government should be able to limit what you purchase and own?
You wish to limit the food people can purchase.
You wish for kids to not have toys.
You wish for mandatory birth control??
You wish to eliminate the right to vote?
And this is America? This is the vision you have for the USA?
The more the tea party speaks the sooner they will go away.
Disgusting.
Enacting these suggestions, how does it create a smaller government, or does it create a huge government?
