they didnt raise a peep because they didnt exist. trust me, there were an awful lot of people bitching in September 2008 against the TARP bill. I was in a Congressmans office the week that was voted upon and the girl answering the phones said calls were 200 to 1 against. but there was nothing 'formal' or more organized until Santelli's rant in 2009. If McCain had won Santelli would still have been ranting
