Occupy Wall Street and Obama Attacked by Adam Hasner

Former state House Majority Leader Adam Hasner, now running in a crowded Republican primary to take on Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson in 2012, came out swinging at the Occupy Wall Street movement on Thursday.

President Obama and the Democrats have chosen sides, Hasner wrote supporters on Thursday. Instead of standing with the millions of middle class Americans who work hard, play by the rules, and want government to get off their backs and out of their way, President Obama is siding with a collection of left-wing activists, anarchists, and extremists who are occupying cities from New York to Miami.

The front line of President Obama and the Democrats' new supposedly anti-capitalist army is manned by kids decked out in the latest designer logoed clothes and sporting the latest high-tech toys from some of the world's most successful corporations. They're joined by born-again communists and ranting anti-Semites who want to destroy Israel, continued Hasner. But behind the scenes, the Occupy Wall Street protests are just an excuse for the same old liberals and far-left radicals to wage class warfare. Backed, funded, and organized by people like George Soros, big labor unions and the mainstream media, this is obviously a desperate bid to keep President Obama in office.

The hard-working Floridians I meet each and every day are struggling under the weight of the Obama administration's failed economic policies and its massive government spending. They don't complain, they don't disrupt other people's days, they just want to provide for themselves and their families. They want a government that understands them and stops making things so hard! added Hasner.

The majority of us do not support the demands of the Occupy movement, Hasner insisted. We just want smaller and smarter government based on conservative, constitutional principles. We want a tax code that doesn't reward special interests, less government spending, and the opportunities to pursue our dreams in what is still the greatest country on Earth.
