Speaker John Boehner pushed his debt-ceiling bill through the House Friday night with the support of 218 Republicans. Here are the 22 no votes:

Justin Amash (Mich.) Michele Bachmann (Minn.) Chip Cravaack (Minn.)

Jason Chaffetz (Utah) Scott Desjarlais (Tenn.) Tom Graves (Ga.) Tim Huelskamp (Kans.) Steve King (Iowa) Tim Johnson (Ill.) Tom McClintock (Calif.) Mick Mulvaney (S.C.) Ron Paul (Texas) Connie Mack (Fla.) Jim Jordan (Ohio) Tim Scott (S.C.) Paul Broun (Ga.) Tom Latham (Iowa) Jeff Duncan (S.C.) Trey Gowdy (S.C.) Steve Southerland (Fla.) Joe Walsh (Ill.) Joe Wilson (S.C.)

CORRECTED: Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) voted YES on the Boehner bill. That was incorrect in the initial list. Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) has been added to the list.

Funny think is the fact that its meaningless. Hairy Roid will screw with it so badly that it will have no hope of passage when it goes back to the house.

when it goes back to the house

Whatever is coming back from the Senate is going to be extremely hard for the tea partiers to swallow. Either a huge sellout is coming or a zombie apocalypse.

GOP Presidential Candidate Bachmann just scored a few more points with me.

Agreed. If they think this vote was hard, wait ‘till they see what they'll be asked to support when it comes back. Then we'll separate the men from the boys.

I told my Rep to go ahead and vote for it and hope the Senate RINOs keep their side of the deal.

If the Senate RINOs don’t I truly believe it will be the end of the Republican Party.

Yes it will, because at that point the Dems will vote for it along with enough RINOs for it to pass. Even if all the Tea Party freshmen vote no at that point, it’s gone.

I called my congressman’s office when he announced that he would support the Boehner plan and got a decent explanation of it being a strategic vote.

When Reid kills this one it will be the second bill he’s killed and it becomes increasingly tough to portray the republicans as holding up the process.

I wish we could find out which of them voted before the 217.

Voting no after 217 is equally as despicable.

Guess we’re up to at least 218 primary challenges next go-around.

I wish it was that easy. The left has been able to portray the House as extremists while offering nothing in return. Now, Harry gets to try and play the reasoned negotiator and avert a crisis.

I just have no idea how the House can stomach anything worse than what has already been passed.
