Yes, I know tea party grifters haven't had the best run of it in primaries this year, but when it comes to actual policy, conservatives are still in the driver's seat. Consider that Republicans are responsible for:

The government shutdown
Inaction on immigration reform

Saying no to extended unemployment benefits
Trying to curtail legal access to abortion
