The GOP tax reform bill known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, came one important step closer to becoming law on Tuesday when the bill passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 227 to 203.
No Democrats voted for the bill, of course. The party of big, centralized government isnt for anyone keep more of their own money, other than perhaps illegal aliens and welfare recipients, and will never vote to cut anybodys taxes.
But not all Republicans voted for the bill either. Here are the 12 Republicans all from high tax states who joined Democrats in voting against passage:
Dana Rohrabacher of California Darrell Issa of California Walter B. Jones of North Carolina Frank A. LoBiondo of New Jersey Christopher H. Smith of New Jersey Leonard Lance of New Jersey Rodney Frelinghuysen of New Jersey Lee Zeldin of New York Peter King of New York Dan Donovan of New York John J. Faso of New York Elise Stefanik of New York

Walter Jones is an oddball
” Anyone here think RINO Ryan will punish or sanction these Renegade Repubs?”
Ryan allowed them to vote that way. They need to be able to say to their constituents that they voted against it.
LoBiondo is leaving after this term.
The swamp is draining itself.
These House members don’t represent the GOP. They represent their constituents, and should vote accordingly.
I swear my Rep. Rohrabacher, sent out colored mailers just a few days ago claiming credit for voting for this bill.
I should have kept it. It seems to me he is just another one, trying to have things both ways.
His seat is increasingly vulnerable, because even his historically safe seat has a changed constituency.
Lobiondo turned into a turd.
They all need to be primaried.
Lobiondo is not running for another term so he doesn’t give a crap about giving people tax cuts .
LoBiondo’s always been pretty much worthless - good thing he’s retiring next term, except that we’re likely to get a ‘rat replacement - VanDrew most probably - once he’s gone.......
King said all along this bill will raise taxes on working families who own homes in his District.
That would be because it does raise taxes on working families who own homes in his District
Fine, do not allow the tax cuts resulting from the bill affect th districts of these traitors and wait for their constituents to eat them alive when they dont get to benefit from the new tax plan.
Why the one from North Carolina?
It looks like this list is of Reps from states with high state taxes that are likely to see their residents taxes go up due to the cap on the state tax deductions.
Issa won re-election in 2014 with 61% of the vote. He won in 2016 with 51%. Don't think for a moment that he isn't sweating 2018 and what this tax plan is costing his constituents.
Deficit fanatic.
a former Democrat like his father. Judging by this vote and a few others this year, Jones seems to have returned to his blue roots and his district is becoming more and more red.
Their constituents, who just had their taxes raised, will likely do that for you.
Correct. they should Always vote in representation of their constituents. Not by the way that fag Ryan tells them to. If they did vote accordingly, Ryan wouldn’t be the speaker...a conservative would.
Probably a smaller percentage than opponents on this forum.
