Rather than campaigning on a typical pro-business platform, the Tea Party freshmen tapped into public resentment of big banks and bailouts. For example, then-candidate Sandy Adams (R-FL) said on her campaign website that she "opposes government bailouts" and "would have voted against TARP and the auto bailout." Jeff Landry (R-LA) said bailouts of private businesses had "corrupted our free market system by rewarding the irresponsible and penalizing the responsible," blasting "bank bailouts, which led to taxpayer money directly or indirectly going into multi-million dollar bonuses."
