The difference between the Tea Party and OWS
After swimming my laps yesterday, I was eavesdropping on a conversation in the hot tub and heard a lovely explanation of the difference between teabaggers and OWS, which went something like this:

"The Tea Party wants to protect corporations from government; OWS wants the government to protect us from corporations."

That's it in a nutshell.

2. The tea party only protests Republicans, OWS is protesting both parties.

I think many voters and observers can see that difference too.

3. The tea party wants government to not meddle in corporate actions, at all...
...whether they realize it or not.
