Texas GOP Lt. Gov: "An unruly mob using Occupy Wall Street tactics”

Starts to make sense why they want to demonize the "Occupy" movements, data-mine anyone who supports them, etc.

Basically, that's their catch-all (as, increasingly, the idea/word "terrorist" is) of "anyone we don't like, or who disagrees with us."

So if they can get you to stand against "Occupy," or agree you really need certain segments of the Bill of Rights anymore, because of "terrorists," half their work is done.

Before the noose tightens enough that they're coming after you, and yours, too.

Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said he was “very frustrated” with the night’s results, after officially declaring near 3 a.m. that the bill could not be enrolled.

“An unruly mob using Occupy Wall Street tactics” derailed legislation that was intended to protect women and babies, he told reporters.

"I didn't lose control of what we were doing," he said. "We had an unruly mob."

who has never read the Bill of Rights and if he has, probably thought it was part of the Communist Manifesto.

Stupid ass, this is what they're for, when the government goes renegade and the citizens need to let them know first hand that they've overstepped their boundaries.

I suppose the only people he wants to have access to the gallery are lobbyists with their pockets stuffed with cash.

He really needs to watch his step lest we the people tar and feather him and ride him out of office on a rail.

tried to get away with Tuesday night, by saying the bill passed, and then changing the clock and timestamp on the documents?

Who do we talk to about the felony committed by the GOP?

The more the people push back, the more the categorizing into "Occupy" and "Terrorist" categories, the more the rationalizations for the data-mining, the militarized local police departments, et al...
