Corzine's connection to this will be minimized or ignored by the MSM, or a quick investigation will exonerate him.

Democrats, especially Barack Obama, had hoped to ride that class-warfare populism to electoral victory in 2012, or at least ride it long enough to avoid electoral disaster. 

Any attempt by the Democrats or Obama to co-opt the OWS movement is going to fail miserably. Obama has taken more corporate money than all of the Republican candidates combined and OWS knows this. Charlie Rangel showed up to OWS with the hope that he would be able to address the crowd and he was booed away. We have learned from the Tea Party, we're not going to let politicians steer this movement.

You should really show them what for: form your own political party and refuse to vote for the Democrats, since they don't properly represent your opinions

That would mean getting off his ass and doing something. The OWS slime would rather camp out in a park, collect $500k in donations and eat like kings than actually work for what they believe in.

Look at the Occupiers. They can find hippies in every town to join them. BUT they still demand that elected officials obey OWS street edicts rather than make things happen on their own.

Thats why askasocialist will vote for Obama. It's easier to vote for a guy who accepts Wall Street donations, than to do things for yourself.

This utter lack of initiative is why the Occupiers will fail where the Tea Party succeeded.

Correct.  They demand that someone else nebulous do something equally-undefined, or simply economically ridiculous, rather than formulating a clear plan with achievable objectives and working toward it as a group.  Their entire movement represents a triumph of romantic thinking over rational thought.

Considering the only unified message coming from the OWieS is "gimme", you didn't learn a damn thing from the TEA Party.
"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

John C Calhoun, "Disquisition on Government", 1840

Obviously not, they shower and work.

And yet you're perfectly okay with words of support from Obama and Pelosi, and dollars from Soros.  Got it.
