Almost everybody. Only three Republicans voted against the resolution, introduced by Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL) and Howard Berman (D-CA). One of them, of course, was Ron Paul. But there were 33 members of the Democratic caucus who voted against the resolution condemning the anti-Israel, UN report. Another 22 members voted 'present.' Of those votes, 20 were Democrats and just two were Republicans. All told 53 Democrats refused to condemn the report and they were joined by just five Republicans. In other words, more than 92 percent of the anti-Israel, pro-Goldstone vote came from Democrats.

The roll call available here.
