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.
