They care not if the present ones are republican, democratic, or independent. They only care what they do for the people or for the corporations.

I read a story probably here on DU that said they were preparing to engage in the politcal process by running OWS candidates. Can't be sure where I read it though.

When, if I'm at a demonstration, a freeper counter-protestor, of my age, yells "GEDDAJOBHIPPIE".

I'm going "Asshole, you're in the same place I am at this exact moment, and I'm pretty sure you're able bodied and not retired!! What's YOUR story??"

Idiots.

The idiots see nothing wrong with shouting 'Get a job, hippie' while as you say, being in the exact same place as those they are accusing of being 'lazy filthy hippies".

Also, those the idiots are calling 'hippies', clearly ARE NOT. That doesn't stop the idiots though.
