Why aren't the Tea Parties down at the protests with their "Main Street not Wall Street" slogan?
I seem to recall that right before the Tea Party protests, there was a nice catch phase and slogan that the Tea Party used with great effect: "Main Street not Wall Street."
I mean it was so effective that even Barack Obama started using it.
Why isn't the Tea Party down at the Occupy Wall Street with their excellent "Main Street not Wall Street" slogan and reading the Constition since the Federal Reserve is unconstitutional?

Excellent Question! You raise a good point, how hypocritical of those tea partiers! My guess is that most of the people on Wall Street are republicans - so having tea partiers protest there would be contradictory. I don't think tea partiers care as much about the issues they claim to care about, I think they're sole purpose was to hender Barack's chances of re-election. If they really cared about the stuff they claimed, they would have started and organized the demonstration on Wall Street.
Clearly, the tea party is clueless to their own cause.

You have to realize that the Tea Party was funded by the Koch Brothers and the idea was to get the middle class to fight within itself. Driven by hate and bigotry is their base. Joining the Wall Street protesters is going against their there own benefactors.

The difference is the tea party protested democrats and the wall street is protesting greed. So ask yourself why are the same ones who supported tea party but not wall street. That is because the tea party is backed by wall street.

because we don't believe the crap that some down there believe. we don't want to kill people because they don't think like us. but i guess those people do. if this is what you want that, then i want nothing to do with it. it is nothing but bigots and violence. notice that more arrest here then in the tea party? notice that mess too.
