GOPers Cain and Romney rip Occupy Wall Street

It's unclear whether the movement might boost the president's re-election chances, drag down his support with swing voters, or fail to impact the election at all

Republicans have seen the enemy, and its name is Occupy Wall Street.

GOP presidential hopefuls are using unusually harsh rhetoric to criticize the anti-bank movement, which celebrated its two-month anniversary on Thursday with a "National Day of Action" that led to approximately 400 arrests across the country, primarily in New York City.

Herman Cain accused the demonstrators of "trying to destroy the greatest nation in the world." Meanwhile, Mitt Romney praised anti-Occupy mayors who have "finally up to this," and said he wished the protesters' tent cities had been removed sooner.

They are only hurting their chances in the general. If Ron wins the primary they are also hurting his chances due to people will falsely associate these beliefs with the Republican party and Ron.

I dont think Occupy is popular with the majority of either party. Politically it's probably a good idea to attack them.

Cain voted for Bill Clinton, calling him a GOPer would be a stretch.

That said, I'm still not convinced that OWS is 100% CIA engineered operation, it seems too busy engineering foreign movements to have time for domestic movements right now.
Likewise, NYT/ CNN journalists reporting on all the movements are not on CIA payroll.

Appropriate song for the OWS movement:


You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
