The Republican-backed stopgap bill was considered palatable by many Democrats because it drew on suggestions made by President Barack Obama in his budget for this year…

Some GOP House members opposed the bill because it did not include more controversial measures to defund Planned Parenthood and the implementation of the Obama-backed health care plan.

The six Republicans voting no: Amash, Bachmann, Gohmert, Jones, Steve King, and of course Ron Paul.

Maybe that Bachmann isn't all bad. Just half bad. :>

The rest of them gotta go.

Ughhhh. I knew it would happen but it still sucks to see. I want a roll call.

Not really. Some of the good reps like Broun and McClintock voted "yes." They may feel that small spending cuts are better than no spending cuts at all.
