The 14 idiots who wanted the government to shut down tonight.

This proposition was passed by voice vote in the House, but 14 senators objected. It is only a stopgap measure until Saturday.

Barrasso (R-WY)
Coburn (R-OK)
Crapo (R-ID)
Cruz (R-TX)
Enzi (R-WY)
Heller (R-NV)
Inhofe (R-OK)
Lee (R-UT)
Paul (R-KY)
Risch (R-ID)
Roberts (R-KS)
Rubio (R-FL)
Scott (R-SC)
Vitter (R-LA)

In the meantime, 63 Republicans voted against the final appropriation bill in the House. I guess they also want to shutdown the government.

I hope the voters remember all the votes this idiot has cast against his constituents' best interests.

I would not be shocked. There are always some people who want to make a protest vote when the bill is assured to pass.

But Boehner lost 1/4 of its caucus, which gives us the size of the crazy caucus, ready to everything rather than voting to fund Obamacare.

Garrett, R-NJ Tea Party Capitol. Allegedly there's a chance he loses this year. Haven't heard who's running against him yet, if anyone.
