Here is a little more comprehensive summary of the games they play- Here are the 12 House Republicans who voted with Democrats against the continuing resolution with a one-year delay on the individual mandate: Reps. Tom Massie (Ky.), Peter King (N.Y.), Steve King (Iowa), Mike Rogers (Ala.), Paul Broun (Ga.), Phil Gingrey (Ga.), Joe Barton (Texas), Louie Gohmert (Texas), Kay Granger (Texas), Charlie Dent (Pa.), Rick Crawford (Ark.) and Michele Bachmann (Minn.). All but Dent and Peter King come from the conservative wing of the party. And here are the nine Democrats who supported it: Reps. Mike McIntyre (N.C.), Dan Maffei (N.Y.), Sean Maloney (N.Y.), Jim Matheson (Utah), Steven Horsford (Nev.), Ron Barber (Ariz.), John Barrow (Ga.), Raul Ruiz (Calif.) and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.). Senate Democrats made it clear they would not consider any proposal that affects Obamacare, and followed through on that stance by shutting down the House-passed bill on Monday night. That left the next move up to Speaker John Boehner and his House Republican rank and file, with just hours remaining before the shutdown deadline of midnight EDT. As lawmakers squabbled, President Barack Obama spoke bluntly about House Republicans. “You don’t get to extract a ransom for doing your job, for doing what you’re supposed to be doing anyway, or just because there’s a law there that you don’t like,” he said. Speaking of the health care law that undergoes a major expansion on Tuesday, he said emphatically, “That funding is already in place. You can’t shut it down.” House Speaker John Boehner responded a few hours later on the House floor. “The American people don’t want a shutdown and neither do I,” he said. Yet, he added, the new health care law “is having a devastating impact. … Something has to be done.” Sen. Ted Cruz offered House Republicans a simple piece of advice Monday night: “#DontBlink,” he wrote on Twitter. Original story below. The Associated Press contributed to this report. – The House of Representatives voted in favor of a procedural hurdle to consider the latest effort by GOP leadership to fund the federal government completely, but delay Obamacare’s individual mandate. Just six Republicans voted against the rule — and some of the names may surprise you. Reps. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), Paul Broun (R-Ga.), Charlie Dent (R-Pa.), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Steve King (R-Iowa), and Peter King (R-N.Y.) all voted “no,” according to the Washington Post.-theblaze/.../just-six-house-republicans.../
