Here are the 25 Senate Republicans who voted to allow Harry Reid (D-NV) and the Democrats to fund Obamacare today: Lamar Alexander (R-TN) John Cornyn (R-TX) Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) Lindsey Graham (R-SC) John Barrasso (R-WY) John Hoeven (R-ND) Roy Blunt (R-MO) Johnny Isakson (R-GA) John Boozman (R-AR) Mike Johanns (R-NE) Richard Burr (R-NC) Ron Johnson (R-WI) Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) Mark Kirk (R-IL) Jeff Chiesa (R-NJ) John McCain (R-AZ) Dan Coats (R-IN) Mitch McConnell (R-KY) Tom Coburn (R-OK) Lisa Murkowksi (R-AK) Thad Cochran (R-MS) John Thune (R-SD) Susan Collins (R-ME) Roger Wicker (R-MS) Bob Corker (R-TN) LEADING THE SURRENDER Mitch McConnell (R-KY)There were a lot of people who worked against us in this fight, but nobody worked harder to fund Obamacare in the Senate than Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the Republican Leader. Mitch McConnell pressured several Republicans to withdraw their names from the letter pledging to oppose Obamacare funding, he falsely accused conservatives of supporting a government shutdown, and he actively encouraged Republicans to support cloture this week so the Democrats could fund Obamacare. If Mitch McConnell had not opposed this effort, there is no question that we would have won the vote today. He showed that he has clout in Washington. Unfortunately, he used it to hurt millions of American families.
