Its important to remember that there are actors among those NO.

Case in point is my congressman (Scott Perry-PA).

Perry voted for Boehner for Speaker last time after Boehner cut his deal with Obama to increase the national debt.

His excuse in public appearances is that the alternative was Pelosi. If he had stood up before the vote and opposed Boehner, Boehner would have known he was losing and bowed out.

Congressman Perry had Boehner speak in the district in the summer of 2013 at a fundraiser.

I think his conservatism is as phony as a three dollar bill.

Here are the 24 Republicans who voted for the $1.1 trillion spending bill
Dec. 13, 2014 10:21pm Pete Kasperowicz

Twenty-four Republicans voted late Saturday night to pass a $1.1 trillion spending bill that will fund most of the government through the end of fiscal year 2015, ending a full week of drama over whether the government might shut down.

The Senate approved the spending bill in a 56-40 vote that split both parties. While many Republicans supported the bill, many others were angry at the idea of approving a spending bill that doesn’t defund President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration.

Still, most Republicans voted for the measure — GOP members supported it 24-18 in the final vote. Republicans voting for the bill were Sens. Alexander, Ayotte, Barrasso, Blunt, Boozman, Burr, Coats, Cochran, Collins, Cornyn, Enzi, Fischer, Graham, Hatch, Hoeven, Isakson, Johanns, Kirk, McConnell, Murkowski, Roberts, Thune, Toomey and Wicke
