I have been examining if the "Tea Party" supported candidates will make a Conscious Conservative difference once they enter office. So far, I have examined Senators Ron Johnson, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Jim DeMint and PatToomey.
Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas chose to attend the Senate Tea Party Caucus meeting held recently. Let's see how he looks from a Conscious Conservative perspective.
Like Senator Toomey, Senator Moran has served in the House of Representatives, which gives him a record to examine. According to http://www.govtrack.us/, Senator Moran is a "rank-and-file Republican" who actually appears to be centrist compared to other Senators. In this world of Spin Doctors and right is left, I looked at his record to see if there is a basis for this ranking. A check of many of his votes on http://www.ontheissues.org/ reveals that he voted along standard Republican lines. He showed the peculiar republican form of schizophrenia by voting to retrict the rights of common people, but voting yes to support corporations. He appears to lean Liberal/Socialist on social issues, voting to let the government interfere with what happens in businesses, schools, medical offices and homes across the country.
It appears that Senator Moran will do little to lean the Senate in a Conscious Conservative direction. There may be some hope if he is influenced by others with a more Conscious Conservative bent.
