SCHIP's Final Passage

This afternoon the House had to reconcile its version of the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (SCHIP) with the one the Senate passed. So at 1:10pm they voted again. Knowing full well it would pass again, 133 Republican obstructionists and two ultra-reactionary "Democrats," Bobby Bright (AL) and Jim Marshall (GA), who hate the idea of poor African American children getting health care, voted against it. The bill, H. R. 2 passed by a lopsided margin- 290-135 and President Obama signed it. Some of the Republicans voting no included the very worst of the GOP reactionaries, vulnerable slime who should be targeted and beaten in 2010, like these creeps (each of whom has the winning margin from 2008 next to his or her name):

Michele Bachmann (R-MN- 46%)
Judy Biggert (R-IL- 53%)
Brian Bilbray (R-CA- 50% )
Henry Brown (R-SC- 52%)
Ken Calvert (R-CA- 52%)
Michael Coffman (R-CO- 60%)
John Culberson (R-TX- 56%)
David Dreier (R-CA- 53%)
Scott Garrett (R-NJ- 56%)
Darrell Issa (R-CA- 59%)
Steve King (R-IA- 60%)
John Kline (R-MN- 57%)
Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO- 50%)
Dan Lungren (R-CA- 50%)
Michael McCaul (R-TX- 54%)
Patrick McHenry (R-NC- 58%)

John Shadegg (R-AZ- 54%)
Lee Terry (R-NE- 52%)
Joe Wilson (R-SC- 54%)
