Thursday's 332-94 House vote on a compromise federal budget plan to avert another government shutdown produced a rare bipartisan convergence on both sides of the question.

Two Minnesota Republicans, Reps. John Kline and Erik Paulsen, voted yes along with DFL Reps. Collin Peterson, Tim Walz, Betty McCollum and Rick Nolan.

Voting no were liberal Democrat Keith Ellison and conservative Republican Michele Bachmann.

Naturally, the misgivings among the naysayers reflected opposing priorities. Ellison said the compromise "compromises the financial security of federal employees, the long-term unemployed and working families."

Bachmann said the deal "is too far removed from the balanced budget that the American people deserve."
