Meet the two Democrats who voted to defund Obamacare

Two Democratic members of the House voted with Republicans Friday to defund Obamacare and fund the government until the end of the year: Utah Rep. Jim Matheson and North Carolina Rep. Mike McIntyre.

Matheson is the sole Democratic member of the Utah delegation, a state that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney won with almost 73 percent of the vote. Matheson, on the other hand, eked out a win in 2012, beating former Saratoga Springs Mayor Mia Love in 2012 by fewer than 3,000 votes.

And these same idiots keep hammering about a 3rd party. The same thing will happen - we will lose good, conservative candidates by splitting the vote with RINOs. I wish more people understood that.

Fear not, she’s running again this year, and getting started a lot earlier.
