The only Republicans to actually cut spending rode the Tea Party wave

Remember the Tea Party? That insurgent movement of grassroots conservatives, libertarians, and independents who sprung up a decade ago vowing to end Washington’s reckless spending?

What happened to all that?

Fiscal responsibility might not be a priority for today’s GOP unfortunately, but it turns out libertarian-leaning Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, as well as and Reps. Justin Amash, R-Mich., and Thomas Massie, R-Ky., actually kept their promise. Not coincidentally, they are some of the most high profile members to get elected backed by the Tea Party and the Ron Paul-inspired liberty movement.

  1. Unfortunately, the Libertarians and most Liberty Movement followers are very left-leaning. Ie. "Liber"tarian = "Liber"al!

    Bunky Luffman, Carl Anderton, Muir Boda, Marc Kilmer, Jackie Welfonder, Shawn Jester and others. Can anyone name others?
