All I can say is, Democrats better be prepared to obstruct just as vigorously as the Republicans did or they'll be even more unpopular than they are now. As for the Tea Party nutjobs -- well, I just can't wait until they shut down the goverment and have to explain to constituents why their Social Security checks aren't going out:

Say Anything » Friday Night Ray Of Hope: Milt Friedman Dismantles Phil Donahue On Big Government

The RICH have never had it so good ever since President Ronald Reagan, and they cry for everything; what would they do if they had to live in poverty like 50,000,000 unemployed people,  60,000,000 on food stamps, or the disabled on Social Security?  These people are afraid of die in poverty. These people discriminate the needy like if these people have a contagious disease that they may catch.  Yet,  many of these people have no special skills, they have no clue, because they were born RICH “OLD MONEY” with no concept of what it’s like to be needy. Many of these people have never had to work to survive. What a Shame? They have no concept of how to create jobs for our economy. That’s because they’re part of the wealthy sperm bank living in isolated communities, hiding out behind steel gates like prisoners of their wealth. Trickle Down Economics doesn’t work it makes the RICHER, RICHER, and it creates massive poverty.
