On Friday, the $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill sailed through the House by a vote of 316-113.

Ninety-five Republicans split with House GOP leadership to vote against the spending bill. Another 150 Republicans supported it, while just 18 Democrats opposed the legislation.

Here is the full list of the Republicans who voted against the spending bill (see the complete roll call vote here):

Abraham Amash Amodei Babin Barletta Black Blackburn Blum Brat Bridenstine Brooks (AL) Buck Byrne Clawson (FL) Crawford DeSantis DesJarlais Duncan (SC) Duncan (TN) Emmer (MN) Farenthold Fleming Forbes Fortenberry Franks (AZ) Garrett Gibbs Gohmert Goodlatte Gosar Gowdy Graves (LA) Griffith Guinta Hardy Harris Heck (NV) Hice, Jody B. Holding Hudson Huelskamp Hultgren Hunter Hurt (VA) Jenkins (KS) Johnson, Sam Jones Jordan Kelly (PA) King (IA) Labrador LaHood LaMalfa Lamborn Lance Latta Long Lummis Marino Massie McClintock McKinley Meadows Meehan Miller (FL) Mooney (WV) Mulvaney Palmer Perry Pompeo Posey Ratcliffe Roby Roe (TN) Rogers (AL) Rohrabacher Rothfus Salmon Sanford Schweikert Shuster Smith (MO) Smith (NE) Smith (TX) Stutzman Tipton Walker Webster (FL) Westerman Whitfield Williams Wittman Yoho Young (IA) Young (IN)

The spending and tax extenders package represented the combined efforts of House Speaker Paul Ryan and Democrat Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. After lengthy negotiations, the two hammered out the deal, and then whipped up bipartisan support for the package.

Before the vote, conservatives criticized provisions discovered in the bill and complained about policy riders left out of the legislation.

House Freedom Caucus Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told The Daily Signal he was disappointed the omnibus didn’t include language bolstering security protocol for Syrian refugees and curbing funding to the abortion provider Planned Parenthood.

“This product is disappointing, very disappointing. Everyone understood the Syrian refugee issue was so winnable,” he said. “When you had a veto proof majority, and to not include it, that makes no sense.”

Jordan was referring to refugee legislation passed in the House by a vote of 289-137 in November, with 47 Democrats voting for the legislation.

That legislation, however, was not bundled into the omnibus.

Jordan and other conservatives complained about inclusion of provisions that increase the number of foreign guest workers who can qualify for H-2B visas. They also balked at the inclusion of the Cybersecurity Act.

Earlier this week, House Democrats cited their ability to beat back 150 conservative policy riders as a major victory. Additional conservatives amendments submitted to the House Rules Committee were also rejected and kept from the bill.

Since picking up the gavel just six weeks ago, Ryan has instituted a number of changes to return the House to what lawmakers consider regular order—a reform effort applauded by some conservatives.

Lawmakers have been racing to reach a spending deal before the end of the year to fund the government and avoid a shutdown. During that process, Ryan actively sought input from rank-and-file members during listening sessions and policy conferences.

My so called conservative critter voted for it too. Most likely because of allowing oil exports, considering where I live.

We’re making the lists, checking them twice,
gonna find out who’s left or who’s right,
Conservative us are taking them down

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

OK, Rubio’s name is on neither list but that was expected because he was a no-show. However, I am sadly-disappointed because although Cruz verbally opposed the bill, his name is not on the “Nay” list.

Does anyone know what is happening with him and this vote?

[Perseverando]

This is the House vote. Haven’t seen the Senate vote.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) missed Friday’s Senate vote approving a massive $1.8 trillion end-of-the-year spending bill and tax package — a day after he suggested that he would try to slow the legislation down.

The Florida Republican, who is running for president, was the only 2016 contender to miss the vote, which is the Senate’s final vote of the year.

Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), all voted against the the legislation.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a fourth GOP presidential candidate from the Senate, backed the bill.

I don’t see Jason Chaffetz’s name on the list.

[tgusa]

My congresscritter,Randy Forbes (4th-VA) voted AGAINST this stab in the back. He would make a great pro-defense, Conservative Speaker. To hell with Ryan.

[HarleyLady27]

Yep in Draper...ugh!!!

[Mollypitcher1]

I have refused to answer all her emails and pleadings for money since she got in. I suspected her of being a RINO and was just proved correct. She needs to be kicked out by the Tea Party who put her in. Just like what happened with Rubio in Florida. The Tea Party put him in and look what we got. That’s why he can’t get any higher in Florida.

Senator Ted Cruz voted Nay

“Dana Rohrabacher and Tom McClintock stood tall. I have done campaign work for both of them. Unfortunately, my own Congressman, Ed Royce, was AWOL.”

So was Mimi Walters, another Orange County Congressman.

Thank you! Oops! I was looking at the house vote, not the senate vote! ;-)

[Perseverando]

Thanks, Bro! Been trying to find the Senate vote.

[Pappy Smear]

Interesting in West Virginia that the R-Capito voted yes, while the D-Manchin voted no.

Of course my jaded side says they counted noses, and knowing the mood of the electorate, they knew the R could get away with a yes, and gave Manchin the ok to vote no, to give him some cover.
