HELP!! Can anyone answer this question....what is the link to the list of names of those politicians who did and did not vote for boehner? I see comments about Bachmann and West, and yet there is no link to this info so that we may all view it. I tried Google for such a link, and no luck.

HELP! We must contact those Conservatives who voted and find out what happened....

Simple math tells me the majority of Pubbie Reps voted for Bonehead. Here's a list of updates that say who did NOT vote for him, or who voted for Pelousy:

UPDATE 1:
Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI), one of the four congressmen “purged” by Boehner, just voted for Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) as speaker.

UPDATE 2:
Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-OK) just voted for Cantor.

UPDATE 3:
Tea Party favorite Allen West, who lost his reelection to Congress, just got a vote for Speaker. (That's GA R Rep. Paul Broun)

UPDATE 4:
Rep. Jim Cooper (D-TN) votes for Colin Powell. That’s the second Democrat to defect from Pelosi.

UPDATE 5:
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) gives Allen West his second vote for speaker. Rep. Scott Garrett (R-N.J.) abstained.

UPDATE 6:
Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), another purged congressman, votes for Rep. Jim Jordan, the head of the Republican Study Committee.

UPDATE 7:
Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) votes for David Jones, the former GAO comptroller. Yes, that’s pretty random.

UPDATE 8:
Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) abstains. That’s four Republican abstentions and six defections from Boehner.

UPDATE 9:
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) votes Amash for Speaker. Both Massie and Amash are acolytes of retired Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX).

Rep. Mike McIntyre (D-NC) a Blue Dog Democrat, defected from Pelosi.

Hope this helps you for now.
