Ask and ye shall receive! Here's the House Vote, sorted by vote. There were 30 Nays. On the other hand, there were 7 nays in the Senate Vote. The 7 Nays were Barrasso (R-WY), Coburn (R-OK), DeMint (R-SC), Enzi (R-WY), Feingold (D-WI), Graham (R-SC), and McCain (R-AZ). My, my, aren't those familiar names?

I support the military 100% but there is so much shady and wasteful spending associated with the money spent on research and purchasing that it isn't funny.
