Joe Walsh, my representative and Tea Party guy, has voted correctly on every single issue that I am aware of. I am happy to hear that. I read somewhere recently that most, including Allen West, submitted and voted for the recent $1.2 Trillion increase in the debt limit. That vote really jacked up my anxiety level about America's future.

There are some solid Tea Party congressman. However.... There was a good number that became weak kneed with the money extension last year, including Allen West. I listened to him defend his vote shortly afterwards. I was disappointed, but will stick with him since he has been good on all else - SO FAR. The most important thing we can do as voters is to know to the fullest extend what our reps have done in the past two years. Those that don't meet the mark should be gone. It is the only hope of getting a strong Congress who will look to the good of America first, even at the expense of voting against their pursuit of reelection. Year, I know. Fat chance! Up to now, the American voter has been too damn lazy to actually analyze the results from their congressional reps.
