That pisses off the GOP, and I love that, they fucked things up to begin with, then the voters voted in the democrats and they fucked it up even worse.

For me the tea party is only going to effect change if they stick to their guns. They say they won't vote for anything that increases the deficit. Let's see if they hold true to that. Rand Paul has said that he would even filibuster his own party if they tried to pass an unbalanced budge proposal. Again, talk is cheap, I need to see some actions before I decide that these guys are any different than standard old republicans who promise the moon and deliver nothing but cheese.
Paul, after all, did once say he would never accept any campaign contributions from any senator who voted for the bail out. After wining the republican primary he flew to DC for a $1000 per plate dinner to raise money that included none other than Mitch McConnell who did vote for the bailout. So it took him less than 48 hours after winning the primary to break a promise. Not a very good start.
