I’ve also given to several campaigns this year. One thing I won’t do again is give them my real email address. They seem to think that one donation merits hundreds of email requests for more.

Well said, Bob. Perhaps that is the reason why so many politicians enter office with ordinary resources, but leave vastly enriched. And as wodun states above, the successful election of Mitt Romney, the takeover of the Senate and the maintenance of the House, marks only the beginning of the task. We must keep careful watch on the new crop we have elected to ensure they do the job we elected them to do. As Clint Eastwood pointed out during his convention performance, we employ politicians — they work for us. If they don’t do the job, we must let them go. This point has never been more important.

The key test for the Tea Party is if they hold the people they voted in accountable and primary them for not.doing their jobs, just like they did with establishment Republicans.
