The new congress has what, half a dozen or so reps endorsed or related to "tea party" orgs?
Vast majority is same ole demipublicans, all serving the great almighty goverment they love, instead of the people.
Actually, the Congress is made up of a lot of Elites, who are on both sides of the isle and believe that they are Philosopher Kings whose mission it is to control the masses. I never had the illusion that the new Congress was going to solve the ills of the government that have been created for almost a century. That they even tried to take a step forward toward tying legislation to the Constitution is a good first step. If we are doing our job as voters, the switchboard for everyone of those who voted against this attempt ought to light up. Even that won't fix the problem but it will be a good second step. It it better that we take steps in the right path rather than walk in the other direction like we have been doing.
