After the vote, Paul noted he gained more votes than in previous efforts and said that he hoped the vote would serve as a litmus test to conservative voters: "Our hope is that people will see it at home and it may influence who they send back up here." He also lashed his party for hypocrisy on the debt and deficit.

Sadly come election time most voters will just vote based on name recognition and party affiliations.

And people still think Republican leadership is serious about reducing government spending? There are only a handful of Republican Congressmen who actually vote that way. I can think of Amash, Mike Lee, Massie, and Paul off the top of my head and there might be a handful of others but that's it. The majority of Congress is more concerned with keeping themselves in power and don't actually care about fixing the problems they have created.
