Both Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich agreed this morning on
a political talk show that, the Occupy Wall Street movement is
one characterized by jealousy.
They claimed that the majority of the people around the US who
are complaining about the rich elite which is prospering while a
substantial number of Americans remain unemployed, are simply
a bunch of complainers who are jealous of the rich and that the
country-wide protesting is not really about the difficulty in finding work.
If that is the case then why weren’t they protesting about the elite’s
wealth before the current employment crisis? Sure they were busy
at work but if they wanted to protest before they would have made
the time for it. Don’t you think? Employed people protest all of the
time for various causes. The point being that the protest is not about
jealousy; it is about the unemployment problem.

You should see some of the pictures I got in an email earlier today of the protesters at Wall Street. One of them was defecating on a police car and a bunch of others were leaving piles of garbage all over the streets and parks. This a true show of the character of these people and they are unofficially backed by Obama.
solid grief no. The protestors blindly help the protest on an identical time as ignoring the indisputable fact that that is Obama's regulations putting us in this unfavorable economic place. that could be a different breed of people. The TEA party went a twelve months with out unmarried arrest, on an identical time as there have been many thousands of arrests with the help of the spoiled brats who have not got a clue what the days information is. the folk on Wall highway are following the lead of George Soros, SEIU, Obama, and his different commie friends. they're getting used to create chaos so as that the President can come to the rescue with a answer and come out a hero. The TEA party knows he's no longer a hero.
I thought Freedom of Speech covered the right to protest. Do the Grinch and Cain oppose the Bill of Rights?
I don't think they are asking to be rich, just to be paid fairly and treated fairly.
Both men are the smartest of all the GOP candidates, they know the Occupy people would never vote for them...they are solidifing their conservative base voters
More division...just like Oboma
How can they find jobs when they spend all their time protesting? I dont think they are interested at all in working. Its easier for them to blame someone else. So they target Wall Street
