"Despite Democratic support"
or
"Despite the growing support of Democrats".

It's the "Democratic" party, not the "Democrat" party. "A Democrat" is an individual who is a member of the party, while "Democrats" refers to multiple persons who are members of the party.

Your phrasing, "Despite growing Democrat" support is grammatically incorrect, and reinforces a Republicon name-calling meme (see how that works?), unless you are specifically referring to one individual Democrat who happens to be growing. :-)

I thought NY crowds, in particular, were alot more rowdy than a Portland crowd could ever be.
Could this explain a little of it?

Kudos to the Portland Police for showing exemplary restraint and great judgment. This is pretty much gold PR for them, and it's great for the demonstration. I have a feeling a lot of the officers are sympathetic to the message.

The root reason for the, “Occupy er’s” and the “99% er’s”. Gaze upon it if you dare. Maybe this will help make the danger of fiat money clear. Imagine you and me are setting across from each other. We create enough money to represent all of the world's wealth. Each one of us has one SUPER Dollar in front of him. You own half of everything and so do I. I'm the government though. I get bribed into creating a Central Bank. You're not doing what I want you to be doing so I print up myself eight more SUPER Dollars to manipulate you with. All of a sudden your SUPER Dollar only represents one tenth of the wealth of the world! That isn't the only thing though. You need to get busy and get to work because YOU'VE BEEN STIFFED with the bill for the money I PRINTED UP to get YOU TO DO what I WANTED. That to me represents what has been happening to the economy, and us, and why so many of our occupations just can't keep up with the fake money presses.

Wow Stokey, man you must be a SUPER Economist to come up with that sort of rational thinking.
You astound me with ignorance.

Oh, Ovidius - well played.
I still wonder about the difference of the crowds themselves though.

Please wait...
