Congress keeps twisting campaign finance reform in ways to give incumbents even more power, but luckily you have groups like the Tea Party who are willing to throw out the current corrupt class.

Why, yes, I am. I'm donating money to candidates to take back the House and the Senate from the teabaggers. And last night I went and worked a phone-bank for 3 hours for the Re-Elect Obama Campaign. And tonight I go in for some additional training to help them out with the computer side of things. And then I am signed up for a voter-registration drive this weekend.
And what have YOU done, besides sit on your ass and complain?

Is it better to do nothing or support the current administration that continues the Bush Doctrine and looks the other way while GSA blows cash on extravegent trips. You have to love goverment managers taking the fifth about their paid vacations.

They didn't "look the other way"...They terminated the ones responsible INSTANTLY when they found out about it. But thanks for your manufactured-outrage-of-the-day. Is the Secret Service next? Slow news day?
Orrin Hatch is yellow bellied - big government (small r) republican RINO. I'm sure the TEA party gives a sh** less what he thinks.
The TEA party formed to get rid of politicians like this- it's their whole purpose. I am also against big government republicans- we need them not so much anymore. They have been stinking up the place for too long.

Oh really?
All came after a May 2011 briefing by Inspector General Brian Miller on his preliminary findings. While Miller was still 11 months away from publicly releasing his final report on GSA spending, he issued the early warning to stop the travel. But it did no good.
