Stephen Gordon — the highly acclaimed expert Libertarian/Republican strategist, consultant and commentator (and HoT alumni) — posted his picks for who to watch in the 133th’s Congress. As stolen from his facebook page:
| Senate Starters: Rand Paul Jeff Flake Mike Lee Ted Cruz |
Senate Second String**: Ron Johnson Pat Toomey Tom Coburn Marco Rubio |
| House Starters: Justin Amash Tom McClintock Steve Stockman Thomas Massie Walter Jones Adrian Smith Scott Garrett Kerry Bentivolio Ted Yoho Steve Chabot Jason Chaffetz Jimmy Duncan |
House Second String**: Tim Huelskamp Jim Jordan Dave Schweikert Michael Fitzpatrick Raúl Labrador Mick Mulvaney Tom Price |
* This is just the preseason lineup, which will obviously change through this congressional session. It’s my best guess, at this moment, of who is most likely to carry the freedom football in the proper direction for a touchdown for liberty.
** These players have demonstrated some potential ability, but have thrown too many interceptions, fumbled the ball too often, or otherwise made too many mistakes on the field to be included in the starting lineup. However, with enough constituent coaching, liberty workouts and freedom scrimmages, they have the potential to help move the ball towards the liberty goal line.
For all the naysayers who buy into the malaise and believe the endless propaganda asserting that the libertarian message of fiscal responsibility, freedom and liberty is dead in Congress, there’s twenty-seven representatives who are apparently working hard to disprove that notion.
Of course it’s a little awkward to note that there’s no women in this liberty team lineup, so hopefully the 2014 elections will see some females putting on some makeup and running serious campaigns.
