On the Club for Growth's Homepage, http://clubforgrowth.org/, they feature the economic records of the "1st Tier" candidates as well as Huckabee and Brownback. They have been on there for several weeks. No Ron Paul. So I emailed one of their staff and he emailed me back, stating that Ron Paul's record will be on in a couple of weeks.
Be forewarned, this could easily become a hit piece. The Club has given Ron relatively low ratings in the past. They don't consider constitutionality when they evaluate a vote. For example, voting for vouchers, voting for NAFTA, CAFTA, etc., are considered "pro-growth" votes. Basically, the votes seem to be along the lines of what a beltway libertarian would consider to be pro-freedom. Lots of people I consider to be big-government conservates get near perfect scores.
