If you want to claim your man as a tea party supporter then prove it, but so far they never heard of him, he never led, he didn’t try to get any elected, and the only time that we know that he was involved with them, it was to oppose them, and support the other side, even now he defeated a tea party leader for his leadership position, and was supported in that battle by the anti-tea party/anti-Palin leader, Cantor.
If you want to claim he is tea party, then show us.
I never claimed he was Tea Party, you claimed he wasnt. But, if you look at what he has done in the Congress:
The 2nd highest rated Congressman by the National Taxpayer Union
Authoring a Constitutional Amendment that says spending can not grow faster than the economy
Pressing for a moratorium on earmarks
Introducing the Taxpayer Bill of Rights
Authoring the Taxpayer Choice Act which would lower tax rates to 10% on incomes up to 100k
Telling Obama to his face that Obama is raising the budget per month the same rate Bush raised per year
Id say that is pretty damn Tea Party.
