There is a new brand of elected representative in the US Senate.. a brand which is rattling the cages of the old monkeys on both sides of the aisle. Serves them right; they have long ago given up on serving the people as they were elected to do..
Oh..the old monkeys will serve the people all right...long after they serve themselves and all their financial supporters, brother-in-laws and privileged minority groups! That holds true... if anything is left over!
Along comes a breed of "Young Turks" ..who are bound they will serve the people...and the old guard simians don't like it.

Gov. David Dewhurst, said the new senator was doing precisely what he had expected. The growing caucus of ardent conservatives — Mr. Cruz, Mr. Paul, Marco Rubio of Florida, Patrick J. Toomey of Pennsylvania, Jeff Flake of Arizona, Mike Lee of Utah, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Tim Scott of South Carolina — has begun reshaping what it means to be a Republican in the Senate, he said.
“The last thing we need is another status quo senator or congressman who will go along to get along,” said former Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina, who pumped money into Mr. Cruz’s campaign, then left the Senate to lead the conservative Heritage Foundation
