To put it simply, you can now say for once in your lives politicians but their careers on the line to do the right thing, and tackle a pressing problem instead of just punting it down the road. See, borrowing money to pay for tax cuts for wealthy campaign contributors is an easy vote to take. On the other hand, the last two tough votes, taken over 16 years apart, both came from Dem Congresses determined to put a dire issue on the right track (Clinton deficit reduction bill, now Obamacare). In the intervening years, no tough votes were taken, and not so coincidentally that's when the GOP held power. Its fine to say that politicians don't step up enough. However, when they do and you still deny it happened, you come off as a fool. Lets salute the brave respresentatives, all Democrats just like the last time, who put what was right over what was politically expedient. 
What a bunch of whiny losers. Here's da facts, jack. Your side just got health care rammed down your throats, and even with all the heavy panting over Scott Brown's Cosmo spread there was nothing you could do to stop it. This is a permanent change despite the desperate lunacy that you're now trying to cling to (court challenges, repeal, etc). Basically lies, racial epithats, fear mongering, and spitting on Congressmen didn't work. Never has one side of the ideological spectrum looked like such juvenile crybabies. No, I'm not talking about the activists, I'm talking about Republican elected officials. Much like SoS, Medicare, Civil Rights, etc once again you're completely on the wrong side of history. You'd think they'd smarten up once in awhile, but I guess not. No real solutions were offered by the caveman party. No actions were taken when they were in power. No teabagger protests occured when the prescription drug mandate was passed. Now we're supposed to believe righties as the champions of fiscal prudence? Puh-leeze. We trust you guys like we'd trust Rep. Foley drunk outside the male house page intern dorm.
