[Bozita]

Just reported on MSNBC.

I love posting good news!

1. That's good news?

:) Let the co-opting begin!

3. I've been warning since last week that the movement will be co-opted.

I doubt that this character will have an impact. But it might give others ideas.

5. There's already a Ron Paul contingent involved

from what I can tell

6. As have I...........

It's always the danger when a mass movement takes off. And it's ESPECIALLY dangerous for these amorphous "consensus building" types of movements. Who's got the money and time to take over these General Assemblies? The capitalists of course.

8. Yup. Just like original Tea Party. Before they knew what was happening,

the original organizers had been kicked to the curb, and bemoaning the fact that Sarah Palin had been crowned Queen of the TP, without a coronation. Not long after, K Street got involved to the tune of millions. While I respect the original intent of OWS, I'm keeping a respectful distance. :hi:

11. Have you ever listened to anything Buddy Roemer has said?

He was saying the exact same things weeks and months before OWS was even heard of...He is not the typical Republican at all. He is for campaign finance reform and doing away with the Citizen's United Decision. He hates dirty politics and will not accept any PAC money.. As a Liberal I could only hope the Republicans could nominate someone like him...He sounds more like a Liberal than a Republican and I wish him well.

2. Good news, I guess.

We'll see.

[KharmaTrain]

4. Maybe He'll Bring Mike Gravel With Him...

:rofl:

Buddy needs an intervention...the poor man. :rofl:

[Bandit]

7. He is the ONLY Republican that makes any sense what-so-ever..

This is right up his alley. He has been saying basically the very same thing for quite some time now..He wants money out of politics...PERIOD

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. Not shocking, he is an Ike republican

[mdmc]

10. ..

[Gin]

12. he is running for president but can't get any recognition or air time

so I am suspect of his motives even if he says what I want to hear...
