I think we know who will win in the end, but it’s going to get ugly. The Occumorons are just the beginning. And Glenn Beck was right.

This seems peripherally related: the Great Jobs Massacre.

Three reasons that colleges are oversubscribed. It’s been a scam for decades and, like housing, a government subsidized bubble that’s about to pop.
I listened to Breitbart last night and he said that over the next few weeks the MSM will work hard to change the narrative about the Occupiers in order to minimalize the prior statements of support from Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, et al, because the OWS movement failed…basically he characterized the occupiers as passionate idiots in love with the thought of being part of a movement but intellectually incapable of effecting significant change. He played a recording of a weeping man from Montreal or Vancouver who was devastated by the destruction of the library he had built for his fellow occupiers over the last three weeks.
He said the MSM was up against a big challenge…Pelosi and Schumer both are widely quoted with “God bless the occupiers” and Obama’s statements of support for the occupiers left very little wiggle room.
They had the NYCC paying the astroturf $100/day. The MSM will be putting in serious overtime.
The Occupy crowd still can serve a useful function for Democrats. They’ve proven the ability to become angry, violent mobs. They’re the prototypes for rioters like we’ve seen in Greece and the UK this year. The entitlement bubble is stretching pretty thin and when it looks ready to pop, be ready for violent riots by people kicked off the gravy train.
The threat of mob violence will be a key element of Obama’s 2012 ground game. Heaven help whomever the GOP nudges to the fore next year.
I don’t want “heaven” to help. I want American gun owners to help, IYKWIMAITYD.
I want OWS to put up candidates for office and see them lose in landslides.
How awesome would it be if OWS put up a 3rd party candidate for the Presidency next year?
Prepping the ground for the 2016 elections. OWS wont disappear until either Obama or another Democrat is in the Whitehouse.
