You Want Names? I'll Give You Names!

Here are the names of the 12 House Democrats that voted against censuring Congressman Joe Wilson.

Michael Arcuri (NY), Bill Delahunt (MA), Gabrielle Giffords (AZ), Maurice Hinchey (NY), Paul Hodes (NH), Dennis Kucinich (OH), Dan Maffei (NY), Eric Massa (NY), Jim McDermott (WA), Gwen Moore (WI), Gene Taylor (MS), and Harry Teague (NM).

These 5 House members voted present.

Eliot Engel (NY), Bill Foster (IL), Barney Frank (MA), Carol Shea-Porter (NH), and Ike Skelton (MO).

Now maybe they think they had good reasons not to vote yes. I personally can't think of any. And although there are people on both lists who I like and admire, they all are going to have to answer for their votes at some point. Especially if there is another Republican outburst like that.

It is what it is.
