Tea party over THAT fast? - 11/9/2010 7:37:37 AM

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704353504575596591626268782.html

"Rand Paul comes with softer edges than his father, Ron Paul, who first won a seat in Congress in 1976. The difference was apparent on election night. At the convention hall next to the Holiday Inn, here in Mr. Paul's hometown, Rep. Paul introduced his son by Skype, hailing him as a politician "who stands for something" and is supported by a movement that is vigorous because "it is outside the party." No note of compromise with the Republican establishment there.

Father, and son, age 47, have different styles. Asked what he wanted to do in Washington in a Wednesday morning television interview, the senator-elect said that his kids were hoping to meet the Obama girls. He has made other concessions to the mainstream. He now avoids his dad's talk of shuttering the Federal Reserve and abolishing the income tax. In a bigger shift from his campaign pledge to end earmarks, he tells me that they are a bad "symbol" of easy spending but that he will fight for Kentucky's share of earmarks and federal pork, as long as it's doled out transparently at the committee level and not parachuted in in the dead of night. "I will advocate for Kentucky's interests," he says."

The voters gave the Democrats two years.

I seem to recall asking the question a couple of months ago "When do they own it?", and failed to get a clear answer.

You question isn't likely to get answered any better.

I clearly gave you an answer and it was agreed with by a couple and even quoted in another thread.

Are you suggesting this is the first instance where voters "sent a very clear message to the politicians" ?
If the answer to that is a "yes"....could you please explain to me why you feel the message was any clearer this time....as opposed to all of the other times voters have sent incumbants packing.

So does this mean you've finally taken your country back and we don't have to listen to any more whining?

Edited to add:

Nevermind, I forgot Republicans and whining are synonymous.
