    Did Your Senator Just Vote to Fund Obamacare for Nothing in Return? Find Out Here!

    In a 81-18 vote to reopen the government and continue recklessly spending, Senate Republicans once again caved to President Obama. The bill includes nearly all measures of Obamacare, raising the debt ceiling, and ending the partial government shutdown.

    The bill now heads over to the house, where John Boehner has already conceded defeat by saying, “We fought the good fight. We just didn’t win.”

    The Senate bill funds the government through January 15th, and raises the debt cap to February 7th.

    Republicans couldn’t even manage to stop the medical devices tax in the bill, but did get legislation put into place to verify incomes of those getting subsidies for Obamacare.

    Here’s the voting record by state:


    Alabama: Sessions (R-AL), Nay Shelby (R-AL), Nay

    Who voted against the Senate bill to end the government shutdown?

    By Aaron Blake

    The Washington Post

    Here’s the breakdown of the ‘no’ votes (a full breakdown of the vote is at the bottom of this post):

    3 are considered potential 2016 presidential candidates:

    Sens. Ted Cruz (Tex.), Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Rand Paul (Ky.)

    4 more come from swing or Democratic-leaning states:

    Sens. Charles Grassley (Iowa), Dean Heller (Nev.), Ron Johnson (Wis.), and Pat Toomey (Pa.)

    2 face notable primary opposition in red states:

    Sens. Mike Enzi (Wyo.) (from Liz Cheney) and Pat Roberts (Kan.) (from President Obama’s second cousin, Milton Wolf)

    9 more come from reliably red states:

    Sens. Tom Coburn (Okla.), John Cornyn (Tex.), Mike Crapo (Idaho), Mike Lee (Utah), Jim Risch (Idaho), , Tim Scott (S.C.), Jeff Sessions (Ala.), Richard Shelby (Ala.), and David Vitter (La.).

    1 other red-state Senate Republican did not vote following heart surgery:

    Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.)

    Yes 81

    No 18

    Democrats 52 yes 0 no

    Republicans 27 yes 18 no

    Independents 2 yes

    Not voting: 1
