I gather some are drug overdoes, at least one perhaps natural causes, and one or two questionable as to whether the deceased was living in the OWS site. <br /><br />I am thinking much more of the Watts and Newark (among others) riots in the sixties. <br /><br />My point, of course, was that I suspect (but can not prove) that the 1% are manipulating the Republican field to keep a reliable (from their point of view) Obama in office. I think there are legitimate reasons to oppose Obama, although it is difficult to think of a Republican candidate I would support over Obama (maybe Chuck Hagel?). But if Obama's opposition is a clown, we won't even talk about the civil liberties issues Obama is vulnerable on. Bummer. <br /><br />I think the Dems will maybe lose a seat of two in the Senate and I don't think the balance will change in the House. At least two more years of near gridlock.EdHeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109361235271107574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30020334.post-19601687754047186922012-01-27T11:50:18.015-05:002012-01-27T11:50:18.015-05:00EH said

BTW: 10 is the body count in the OWS camps. Meaningful or meaningless?<br /><br />Fun watching the Reps eating their own. Dems will have a target-rich environment in the General.
