81% of Democrats approve.

Bad news for Republicans is 58% of independents approve.

Maybe worse news for Republicans is 35% of Republicans also approve.
There ARE moderates in the Republican Party.

Continue to disdain this movement at your peril, Tea Partiers.

I live in New York State and I can tell you that thought the people in
the city may agree with the 'views' of the protesters they do not
agree with their parks being trashed, or with the extra money a broke
city has to pay for overtime for the police. Instead of listening to
a poll which did not say they were in favor of protesting, just the
views, read a couple local newspapers. NYC votes Democrat and
because they outnumber the rest of the people in the state, does not
mean the rest of the people in the state which are mostly Republican
agree with their views at all. Do the same poll in my area and you
will get exact opposite results.

Again, siding with views, does not mean they side with the manner in
which those views are being demonstrated.

It's not irrelevant. How things are done is very important.

Have you watched any of the multitude of videos available? Take a
close look at these kids. They are not the hippies of the 60s. A few
have long hair and maybe a beard, but not many. They don't have jeans
down around their hips. Most of them are clean cut, no nose rings, no
head bands, no tattoos, no earrings. And that's because in their
hearts they are still part of mainstream America.

When they graduate from college they will cut their hair, put on their
suits and go knocking at large businesses for a job and many of them
will find them. And then they will become the average American
wanting a home, car, family, bank account. Too bad we can't follow a
few of them after they graduate.

How many do you think, after being in debt for thousands of dollars in
student loans, will go volunteer for the Peace Corp? How many will go
apply for a job as a vacuum cleaner salesman as their first choice of
employment?

They are young, idealistic, haven't lost their idealism yet and it's
great they think they can change the world. Hasn't every generation?

But they have no plan that I can see to change things. They are just
costing the taxpayers a great deal of money repairing the damage they
are doing and most of the marches in various cities don't even have a
permit. They are just having fun.

Now as for the ones in Denver chanting "F*** America" do you see any
of them leaving for Canada? No, they'll stay in school and get their
degree and become a suit and laugh at the fun times they had.

If the cost of the policing is too great perhaps you need to talk with the
city management as a bit more enlightened approach might save a lot of
direct expense, the poor PR and the cost of legal action for abuse of police
power.

Recall Rodney King may have been the badest SO* in La but the way the police
handled themselves cost the city how many millions?

I've watched several videos made by those inside the movement and from those
outside. I see no evidence of damage much less indications of vandalism or
garbage.

Those in power especially those on Wall street and inside the board rooms of
corporations best pay attention as change is afoot and it does not bode will
for the 1%.

Good indication of which way the wind is blowing is that folk like Cantor
and most of the Pub would be candidates are changing their rhetoric. While
good that along will not help them unless they change their world view as
well.

It won't mean much if the justifiable outrage of the Occupy protestors
doesn't translate into votes against the evil Wall Street stooges and
Republican lackeys in congress.

Occupy group should descend upon districts that have voted for right-
wing assholes, like Eric Cantor, and literally shut those districts
down ... better yet, boycott every business in those districts.

Occupy needs to shut down "business as usual."

Please don't give them any ideas Dalin? As far as I can see, this whole thing
has been engineered and the people involved can't see the joke. It's a protest
looking for a reason. We've had a few protests here, London had about 15 or 20

This is what the OWS are looking for. Suggestions. What most of what I
have read so far is that the OWS don't have much to do with either
party. And this is good for America as it keeps both parties guessing
on this unknown and unproved group of voters.And this will be a kiss
of death for the Tea Party.

Or maybe the other way around? Cantor wants to be Speaker and the

Your right, they are America's clean cut educated Youth. And they want
jobs that they accuse politicians and the greed of the Banking
Corporations of destroying. And they being voters themselves are going
to make sure that the politicians that will get elected will create
jobs for them. Meaning that Cantor/Boehner and their Tea Party Blue
Dogs will be sent packing.

Remember how we got Manuel Norina to surrender after he took refuge in
that Panamanian Monastery? Too bad we can't legally subject Cantor to
the same. We will just have to settle for loud staccato protest
chanting, no loud rock music.

I have only video 'evidence' which includes claims by Fox News which shows
trash but piled for removal. It also shows what is clamed to be trash but
is clearly personal property. (Who puts trash in $100-$200 suit cases with
luggage tags? But then if you're going to 'trash' a park or any place who
puts a note on the package to the effect Here It's Me, I did this and here's
my home address and my phone number?)

I've seen video about the St. Patties Day Parade, the Gay Pride Parade and
Ethnicity of the Month Day parade in NYC and from all over. Not one
complaint about trash as it's a give that it's a responsibility of the city
to clean up. H*ll NOLA takes pride in the amount of street trash they
collect on Ash Wednesday. Too low and the city fathers begin to question if
the data is indicative that the city is losing the cash cow.

The sins are the 1% are multiple, pick one or many. As to what is wanted I
can speak only for myself. Some of these are accountably, fairness, an end
to got-ch capitalism.

Texas wanted to give foreign interest the right of eminent domain for
private profit. (they did that with the Texas Rangers Ball Park in Arlington
and the Cowboy Stadium-- ranchers had to give up land at pasture prices --
so the sports teams can charge big bucks to park) I'm sure you can find a
lot of past as well as current examples.

The city would like to clean it up. They can't because they would
have to evict the protesters. And to do that would start a riot for
sure.
