I favour the Tea Party, so that's definitely a good thing.The TP Freshmen held enough votes and influence to force the the Debt Ceiling deal when all seemed lost.They might not have had many victories, but the Debt Ceiling was a big one for them.John Boehner basically had his feet to the fire because of them and that's a big sea change for the Tea Party in DC.These Freshmen are on the right track - with bills chipping away at ObamaCare. Wall Street legislations, trimming back Fed-backed giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and transferring money from foreign aid programs to domestic ones.
