Roemer stands by the Protesters in Wall Street. Where are the others?

Dark-horse GOP presidential candidate Buddy Roemer has been the only contender to embrace the Occupy Wall Street protests in Lower Manhattan and other urban centers. On Tuesday, he plans to join the protests in New York, according a post on his Twitter account Sunday night.



“I am concerned and outraged, as are many, at Wall Street greed. I will be joining Occupy Wall Street NYC Tuesday to see it firsthand,” he wrote.



In some ways, Mr. Roemer makes sense as the Occupy candidate. His campaign accepts only donations of $100 or less, an effort to limit the influence of special interests, the candidate says. Mr. Roemer served four terms as a Democratic congressman from Louisiana, switching to the GOP during his single term as the state’s governor.



If nothing else, showing up in New York could be a rare chance for Mr. Roemer to grab some media attention. Republican leaders have largely denounced the movement, which includes people opposed to big business, war, the American political system and several other causes. Mitt Romney has called it “class warfare.” Rick Perry’s campaign said “the protests don’t make sense or help create jobs.” When asked about Occupy Wall Street last week, former pizza company executive Herman Cain said, “If you don’t have a job and you’re not rich, blame yourself.”



Rep. Ron Paul (R., Texas) and former Sen. Rick Santorum (R., Pa.) have said they empathize with the protesters’ frustration, but they don’t agree with all of their goals.



Democrats, meanwhile, are divided about whether to support the movement, with some fearful the protesters may appear to extreme for middle America.



Occupy Wall Street “is non-partisan,” Mr. Roemer wrote on Twitter. “They are fellow Americans who are uniting against corporate greed and are saying `enough already.’ ”

Good for him! Standing up for the American people is a noble gesture and I hope he does get some recognition for it.

Don't waste your time asking these questions, the conservatives here are ignorant, unintelligent, and very rampant.
I worked with Buddy Roemer on his campaign for Louisiana governor, he truly a very intelligent, very sincere guy.Roemer stands by the Protesters in Wall Street. Where are the others?
It's not clear what "embracing" them means, since it's not clear what they stand for except unhappiness with recent financial history. And I think we're all on board with that.
Well... thank God they have another one.

I thought they were out already, with a year to go.

(ans Cain is gettin pretty old already)
Today the children are there too since they are out of school.
The Wallstreet protesters are protesting wallstreet banks, union pensions, and 1-6 on welfare etc. getting $1 trillion in gubberment loot

Strange the unions and the democrats want to take over the protest. ha

I'm not sure theres anyone more fooled in the world then the left. They should JOIN the Tea Party...for the CORRECT actions its taken. For being....RIGHT.

That is all.
I think we should go down there and check it out ourselves. Look what this guy said

So it's a media propaganda joke they are all leftists. People are sick of the Banks and the Central Bank and the Corruption that has been perpetrated since 1986 when deregulation laws were passed on backs with the CEO's of Banks and Congress meeting together. This is what the banks wanted and they have been receiving corporate welfare since the late 1980s in the amount of 32 billion a year in corporate bailouts for S%26amp;L's. Our Tax money. Where is it going?
