I've got a pic I'll add to this OP once Photobucket is back up and running.
But 2 Democrats voted Yea on the final Continuing Resolution, the one that defunds the ACA.
Who were they and when do the primary challenges start?
ETA: I've got it.

"Two Democrats, North Carolina's Mike McIntyre and Jim Matheson of Utah voted for the measure."
Goodbye, Mike McIntyre and Jim Matheson. Write when you get a nice cushy lobbying job for the Heritage Foundation.

Seriously, Rep. McIntyre. Change the D to an R already.
Among many other crucial services, it is essential that we honor our senior citizens, veterans, and men and women in uniform by ensuring there is no delay in their monthly retirement checks, health care coverage, or military benefits. Keeping our government operational is vital and todays vote does that.
My record on the health care law has been crystal clear I voted against it when it was first considered, have voted to repeal it dozens of times, and today voted to defund it. The need for health care reform is clear, but this law is not the right approach for our citizens, communities, and businesses.

Every other Democrat (besides McIntyre) understood that voting against this CR wasn't voting to shut down the government, Rep. Matheson. The elevator, does it go to the top floor?
It is irresponsible to add unrelated provisions to legislation to keep our government running. I have always preferred straightforward legislating that avoids political games. However, I believe we should avoid shutting down the government, and I voted for a continuing resolution to keep the legislative process working toward that end today.
