Effectively the first tea party member of the 113th Congress — and the only one with a vote on the fiscal cliff — Massie is uniquely positioned to help write the next chapter of the tea party’s role in Congress.

Glad to see some publicity for our boy Thomas Massie.

Woot!! Thomas is seriously kicking some ass up there.

Massie has exceeded my expectations so far. He is taking principled stands and distinguishing himself as a bold leader already. Kudos.

Way to start the new term!

I sure hope Massie keeps a close eye on Bentivolio cause he's a smoker and could easily come across Boehner repeatedly if you know what I mean. In fact, B and B have already shared a few smoke breaks together. I wonder whether these Tea Party types caucus and/or meet together on a regular basis to keep the rapport alive and make sure everyone is on the same page while actively pursuing new members. Then, constituents could pressure and/or persuade their reps to join this outfit either on their own or through some of these national orgs like FreedomWorks, C4L or Americans for Prosperity.

I would think that Amash would be the one to take him under his wing, given that they're in the same delegation. Is that true about Bentivolio and Boehner? Kinda funny if it is.

Maybe Bentivolio could be a good influence on Boehner. You know, like a grandfather lecturing his son or grandson once in a while.

Yeah, I'd prefer if both of them kept an eye on Kerry since he's such a noob. Kerry has repeatedly stated how dedicated to the grassroots he is, so we'll see if he mans up. And yes, Kerry has been B's smoking buddy in recent times or at least he's mentioned that in front of other conservatives.
