More on the pure side...

Ron Paul - Texas
Rand Paul - Kentucky
Justin Amash - Michigan
Mike Lee - Utah


Who else is there??


There are also some who are semi-libertarian/constitutionalists...

Jim DeMint (fiscal issues) - South Carolina
Jason Chaffetz - Utah
Dennis Kucinich (foreign and monetary policy) - Ohio
Walter Jones - North Carolina

Walter Jones - North Carolina

He's not perfect (online gambling ban :confused:) but he's one that Ron Paul had a lot of influence on, it seems.

Yeah, I'd count Jones, certainly ahead of Demint and way ahead of Kucinich (who doesn't belong on the list). I'd put Duncan pretty close to the same as Jones, and Flake maybe a notch below them. And then there are probably a handful in the House that are at least as good as Demint on the issues overall (Bachman, Broun, maybe Pence, and probably others).

Kucinich is not a libertarian on monetary matters.....by FAAAR he is not a libertarian there. He wants government control over the FED and a means to a stronger socialist state.

Kucinich is a semi-constitutionalist on monetary policy and a definite constitutionalist on foreign policy.

I say semi for monetary policy because he doesn't want to outsource Congressional prerogative to the FED but most likely wouldn't support a hard currency policy.

Chaffetz?

Yeah, if Demint makes the list then Chaffetz definitely does.

Hmmm... It looks like we need more limited government & free market candidates to run federally.

Indeed. There should be at least 1 in every district. Wouldn't it be nice to see the day we have two Constitutionalists on the ballot competing against each other? Republican Liberty Caucus vs Democratic Liberty Caucus...I know, it's just a dream...

It is the dream. That the idea behind all this i though. Turn this little game of theirs upside down. No choice but liberty.
