[quote=Username]You guys really think the cold weather will end the protests? Doesn’t anyone remember the Wisconsin protest last year? Personally I think Scott Walker’s days are numbered and the only reason he hasn’t been recalled yet is because he hadn’t been in office a full year (as required by state law). Those protests were in F’in Wisconsin in February and still the turn out was pretty good. I think the thing that finally ended them was the recall elections. OWS numbers might go down, but it’s amazing how much free time you have when you don’t have a job.
Also class warfare has been going on for the last 30 years by the folks at the top who put short term profits over long term stability. Outsourcing production has destroyed the working class and in the end cannibalized the demand for their products. Henry Ford paid workers $5 a day and sold an affordable car, as a result his workers purchased the cars they produced and his company was successful.

Well, what now? Scott Walker lives on, is this a big blow to Obama? The naivety in this post is simply assuming that the anger of the protestors would result in democrat sweeps across the country. Most of those angered enough to March probably aren’t going to be too interested in either of the two standard parties.
