		<description><![CDATA[YOu should consider ratings instead by the bi-partisan Citizens Against Government Waste, The John Birch Society, and Liberty Lobby.  All three are MUCH harsher on Republicans than the so-called American Conservative Union.  Any ratings system where Hensarling and Sam Johnson are the top two is HIGHLY flawed.  Both &quot;gentlemen&quot; were amongst the 3/4 of GOP Congress-critters who voted FOR Ryan&#039;s pathetic budget &quot;cut&quot; which merely rolled back proposed 2011 INCREASES, and cut only 800 million, tops.  59 GOP Congress-critters had the decency to vote AGAINST Ryan&#039;s bill, saying we needed MORE cuts.  Sam Johnson voted for the Kennedy Bill jokingly called Leaving No Child Behind, and the Prescription Drug Parte D racket, both totalling $140 billion a year. When you add on the $120 billion per year for Iraq, that&#039;s $260 billion.  All Obama did was triple down with his $787 billion, add that to the $260 billion a year &quot;conservatives&quot; like Hensarling and Johnson gave us, so we now have a trillion a year of wasted money.]]></description>

We need this information (Tea Party Approval) before the early elections start. Not the day before the regular election.

Thanks,

		<description><![CDATA[Question: which of the listed U.S. Representatives and Senators listed above have enacted legislation which violates the 10th Amendment, erodes Texas state sovereignty and enables federal government overreach?

Answer: all of them.

So, why has this important issue conveniently been omitted from the rankings? I suspect because the Tea Party is willing to compromise its credibility in exchange for partisanship.

Sounds like politics as usual to me.]]></description>
