Eleanor Rodham Clift is a bonehead. Yeah. They’ll “stick around” alright. Like that kid stuck to the flagpole in “A Christmas Story”.
what, according to Pat’s crystal ball?
When it gets cold, they will all go home
It’ll be Wall Streets fault they’re out there freezing. If it wasn’t for WS there would be no OWS protesters and therefor wouldn’t be out there freezing, right?
There are only (at most) a few hundred protesters at each “occupation” — fewer are actually camping. These are urban encampments, where the protesters mostly live nearby. That’s quite different from mass protests in (say) Washington, where people come from far and wide.
All that would take to continue “occupations”, are sufficient protesters in reserve, to allow for rotations. A total of only 500 protesters could “occupy” a site, with a couple hundred on site, and the rest on R&R in their moms’ basements.
When it gets cold, these people will mostly go home.
Clarence Page is in a dream world. Temporary media coverage makes him think something is happening. The Tea Party changed the conversation about budgets and spending, the OWS’ers will change nothing. They are whiners with loser attitudes, their type is always around, and always eventually ignored because they are based in the negative, and that doesn’t touch the majority of Americans.
Americans look for realistic solutions, we already know that there are problems. The OWS’ers offer no solutions, and no positive energy. So, they will wither, and the short-term attention span of the media will soon move elsewhere, other than to cover the bloodshed when the losers realize it’s over and they have failed, as always.
