snip:
As the Republican nomination movement started to unfold, I looked at each candidate. Bachmann, Romney, Paul, Perry, Cain, Gingrich, Huntsman, Santorum, each had their strengths but there was something missing. I was looking for another Reagan, someone who could inspire. It wasnt until I attended an Occupy Wall Street event that something began to change in me. I began to think of the 99%, the idea of We the People and I realized we are ALL the people. The conservative candidates began to look like they were only preaching to a particular constituency and I began to realize that only one candidate was actually trying to do something for all of the We the People. And that candidate was already in the White House and his name was Barack Obama. He was the one with the strong family, the true Christian values, the one that could serve and protect, We the People.

Where's the $ coming from?
I think we need to see through ALL p.r. efforts, regardless of which "side" may be the source.

(45,274 posts)The comment section is particularly interesting.
Maybe some of them ARE waking up. Maybe the Teabaggers form a large chunk of those 20% of Republicans who prefer Obama.
Will wonders never cease
And yes, OWS is largely responsible for the wakeup.

(45,274 posts)But the majority of the comments had a pretty sincere ring to them so I decided to suppress my usual skepticism.

(68,644 posts)I feel the bulk of Tea Partiers are not bigots but are instead simply ignorant and easily gobble up propaganda.
This is why I prefer engaging them in peaceful ways and not trashing them.
Now as to their leaders or the candidates, well that's another matter entirely.

(33 posts)What does "serve and protect" mean? I thought that was the motto of the police.
Yeah, it's all good unless you're a kid in Pakistan or Afghanistan, unlucky enough to be standing under the latest drone!
Obama is very familiar with Wall Street; they backed him, for God's sake! I am up to HERE with the puff pieces.
