The Democratic Party moved a step closer to embracing the Occupy Wall Street movement as its own with the top campaign arm for House Democrats sending around a petition urging people to "stand with" the movement.
In an email sent Monday morning, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Director Robby Mook appealed for signatures to an online petition in support of those who want "to let billionaires, big oil and big bankers know that we're not going to let the richest 1% force draconian economic policies and massive cuts to crucial programs on Main Street Americans."

The Sunlight Foundation reports that Barack Obama didn’t just win the Wall Street sweepstakes in 2008 over John McCain — he’s done better at getting Wall Street cash than any other President in the last 20 years:
“By the end of Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign, executives and others connected with Wall Street firms, such as Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citigroup, UBS AG, JPMorgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley, poured nearly $15.8 million into his coffers.Goldman Sachs contributed slightly over $1 million to Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, compared with a little over $394,600 to the 2004 Bush campaign. Citigroup gave $736,771 to Obama in 2008, compared with $320,820 to Bush in 2004.
Executives and others connected with the Swiss bank UBS AG donated $539,424 to Obama’s 2008 campaign, compared with $416,950 to Bush in 2004.
And JP Morgan Chase gave Obama’s campaign $808,799 in 2008, but did not show up among Bush’s top donors in 2004, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.”

What does this mean?
So when it was American troops fighting abroad against dictatorship and socialist terrorists then the democrats would use the term ‘occupiers’ against our troops as meaning a real bad thing but now that a bunch of anti-capitalist malcontents are rising up here in the streets of the United States possibly ready to start using terrorism against innocent U.S. citizens the democrats are all for the ‘occupiers’.
Ok I get it. The democrat party are traitorous scum.
I wonder how many “Business Ethics” courses they offer.
Barry is BIG business’ new boy. Sarah Palin scared those bass turds to death. Barry makes sure that the status quo remains in place.
And
The overwhelming majority of the Corrupt CEO Alumni graduated form business schools that make up Obama top contributors.
More than half of the corrupt Wall street Ceo's graduated form the business schools that are in Obama top 15 campaign contributors.

Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.
This will not go well with the democratic party. It will probably hurt the nation to some degree as well. How much remains to be seen.
“Moved a step closer”? I don’t think there was enough room to take a step.
Please do!....embrace it and never let go!....We can bury you all together!
Big, evil industries funded…which party?
If they can encourage the demonstrators to make more headlines with bigger crowds, so much the better for Holder & Co.
The Dems have cast their lot with these protesters.
AS we speak, good patriots are filming these filthy animals doing what they do best, being destructive.
Come election time, we will remind the voters of the solidarity betwixt the two.
Thank you WB!
A most excellent share!
Kewl. Then what?
