#AndyBarr vs #ThomasMassie vote analysis for 2013 Complete!

So I have taken the painstaking process of thumbing through 238 votes taken in the US House of Representatives in 2013 between KY-6 Rep Andy Barr and KY-4 Rep Thomas Massie.  I chose the comparison with Massie because he is considered a trusted Tea Party Republican and I wanted to see how Barr's Votes stacked up against each other.  The results were not surprising in the least.  22.69% of the time, Barr voted the opposite of Massie.  That was a total of 54 times that Barr differed with Massie.  This means about 77.31% of the time they voted the same.  This also means that 22.69% of the time, Barr voted against the tea party.  During this vote analysis, it became apparent that when ever a bill would only receive 2-5 no votes, that Massie and Michigan Representative Justin Amash would be together voting no!  Also only a handful of votes came up where Massie voted the opposite of Amash.  If the voting comparison between Barr and Massie were placed on an academic grading scale of 100, Andy Barr would receive a C grade for voting with the Tea Party!  To me this is simply unacceptable of a fiscal constitutional conservative in congress.  This is why I am wanting to wage a challenge to Andy Barr in 2016 because the sixth district of Kentucky deserves to have someone that will keep their word like Thomas Massie has as a fiscal constitutional conservative!
