I see my completely worthless "D" John Barrow, voted for the Repubs [View all]

I swear it would be better to kick him out, wait a cycle, and get someone to run who represents the district better.

Who crossed over in the House?

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.).
