Washington, D.C. – Alabama House members voted along party lines in rebuking Republican South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson for shouting ``You lie'' at President Barack Obama during his speech to Congress about health care reform.

Democrats Bobby Bright, Artur Davis and Parker Griffith voted to rebuke Wilson, while Republicans Robert Aderholt, Spencer Bachus, Jo Bonner and Mike Rogers voted against the formal rebuke.
