11. It's depressingly clear Reps defend business over people so
I don't know if they did. But the news is out there for any sane person to read:

Rep Bachus warns Geithner on "Volcker rule"

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20101105/bs_nm/us_financial_regulation_bachus_volcker;_ylt=AsrLaaNYGlMVxVZBYv0v0wyyBhIF;_ylu=X3oDMTM3aHJoNmU0BGFzc2V0A25tLzIwMTAxMTA1L3VzX2ZpbmFuY2lhbF9yZWd1bGF0aW9uX2JhY2h1c192b2xja2VyBGNwb3MDMwRwb3MDNgRzZWMDeW5fdG9wX3N0b3J5BHNsawNyZXBiYWNodXN3YXI-

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Republican front-runner to head a key U.S. congressional bank oversight panel has urged regulators to consider whether a new rule limiting risky trading by U.S. banks may handicap them globally, according to a letter obtained by Reuters on Thursday.

In a sign of the policy position of the heir-apparent to the chair of the U.S. House of Representatives' Financial Services Committee, Representative Spencer Bachus raised basic questions in the letter about the impact of the "Volcker Rule" enacted into law in July.

"If the Volcker Rule's prohibitions are expansively interpreted and rigidly implemented against U.S. institutions while other nations refuse to adopt them, the damage to U.S. competitiveness and job creation could be substantial," Bachus wrote in the November 3 letter to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and other top regulators.

People who vote for republicans are just begging to be kicked while they are down. Fools....every one of them.

The TeaParty's 2012 Hit List

WASHINGTON -- Tea Party activists didn't have to wait for the results of the 2010 elections to start conspiring about their targets for the next cycle. Sen. Orinn Hatch (R-UT) has long been considered a primary target, alongside Bob Corker (TN), Richard Lugar (IN) and Olympia Snowe (ME). All of the aforementioned are Republicans with a penchant for working in bipartisan fashion, some more than others.

One surprising name popping up on the 2012 target list, however, is an individual that the Tea Party turned into a cult hero of their movement. Scott Brown (R-Mass) has spent the past ten months in office building the framework for his reelection. He's worked with Democrats on a variety of economic initiatives while siding with the Republican caucus on other measures. He has been, as conventional wisdom goes, about as conservative as one can be in Democratic-leaning Massachusetts. But, for some, not conservative enough.

On Wednesday morning Red State's Erick Erickson put Brown on his list of "Potential Tea Party Targets for 2012."

The incumbent republicans will be knocking down the newbie teabaggers a notch or two - the old folks ain't going to put up with their shit when it comes to their seats. Yep, the newbies have a lot to learn ;)

12. Kay Bailey Hutchinson????
I'd love to know how she made the list. I'm excited, being from Texas. I remember her bragging about low income insurance for Texas children, but she voted against it.

Can anyone help me out here?

8. Even he's starting to realize he was an anomoly.
He caught the Dems napping, and it won't happen again.

He had no influence on the Tuesday's elections.

Mass. is a blue as ever - just look at Tuesday's results.
