Which House Republicans changed their "Yes" votes to "No" (on the crazy budget to the right of Ryan)
that would be really useful info.

how do we get it?

of course, we can ask congressional Republicans if they voted that way and changed it...if they didn't they'd have to lie or obfuscate and it would be pretty obvious.

2. I'm not sure it's available
I think they might only record the final vote.

4. there is a way
call up the Rep that voted no and ask them if they had changed that vote from yes to no during voting on the bill.

they either have to not answer or lie to conceal it.

this is how Talking Points Memo got Republicans and Democrats to reveal their stance on Social Security privatization --people started calling their offices and asking for the position and reporting it back to TPM. Those that wouldn't answer got publicity for not taking a position and those who did admit to a position had it publicized what position that was.

5. Here are the four Republicans who voted no.
Reps. Denny Rehberg (Mont.), Walter Jones (NC), Ron Paul (Texas) and David McKinley (W.Va) joined 193 Democrats in opposing the blueprint.

Here's a link to the roll call vote: http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2011/roll277.xml

6. thank you but that's not the vote:
"Republican Study Committee's (RSC) alternative to Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) 2012 budget went down in a 119-136 vote.

It was gaveled shut only after Democratic leaders started pushing members to switch their "no" votes to "present," in order to force a face-off between conservatives and the Republican leadership. A total of 176 lawmakers voted "present." "

7. Switched Votes
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) switched her vote from yes to no at the last minute, as did Rep. David Dreier (R-Calif.), the chairman of the House Rules Committee.
