There's alot of interesting and intelligent posts on these threads today and I feel after reading your posts that the majority of us can agree we need to have a new president in office with the skills, knowledge and experience he/she has to get our great country, USA, back on the path to success and prosperity. President Obama has already exhausted this nation of its resources and it's time for Obama to relieve himself his duties as president of this very high office and let someone who can get the job done. Nevertheless, we can all learn a valuable lesson from the unfortunate state we in because of poor leadership, and I'm confident in God that we will still be able to turn this country around and we will succeed and prevail as the strongest nation in the world.

10 years of GOP BUsh tax cuts have resulted in job losses and the rich hoarding the wealth and shippingmjobs overseas.

We are the 99%! And our message is STOP THE HOARDING!

A good friend of mine is a teamster. I ask him all the time about the union boss's compensation. He can't find it anywhere, and he's a member. If someone could help, I'd like to know. My father was an IRS agent who worked for Rudy putting these skells in jail.

But for conservatives, democracy is hell and the

And they call themselves Americans. LOL!!!

Considering that the 2 or 3 liberal "friends" that you have does not constitute 80 percent of Americans, I'd say the you are totally clueless.

Let them march and protest if they are not breaking any laws.

When you see headlines like,"Hundreds of protestors arrested," that doesn't usually indicate they're legislating law.

Nice long, idiotic Right-wing rant garnished with the familiar Religious Right bullshit. Put it in a bag, set it on fire, and leave it on the doorstep of a 'liberal.' That's the biggest contribution you're capable of making to this discussion...:)

The teamsters don't want dues paying members to find out how much is spent for pay, goodies, etc

They are arresting the law breakers and that is the right thing to do. If they are not breaking the law let them protest.

I'm waiting to see what happens when winter comes. I wonder if water cannons will be used if the protests get out of hand especially during winter?

But they are breaking the law,thats the point.
Everything they do now is counter productive and costs tax payers a fortune in clean up,security,court fees,emergancy vehicles and on and on and on.
If they assembled peacfully they wouldn't have a problem,but liberals just don't have that kind of disaplin or focus.

The ones breaking the law are being arrested. It really should come down to if they are breaking the law or not and the ones that break the law needs to be arrested. There are many many things that waste far more money than the protesters. Many of them are peaceful and you can not judge all by the acts of a few. It is their right in this country to protest and voice their opinion so let them do it. They will give it up soon anyway when the bad weather moves in.
