Hayworth was smart enough to see the TARP as a gigantic waste of money. McCain, Boner, Pencil neck Cantor and the rest of the girly men in the GOP shoved it down America’s throat.
To this day, I only give DeMint and Hunter credit for trying to kill TARP while offering up market based solutions for the crisis.
I agree with you—TARP is a huge litmus test for me. Good on Hayworth.
