The only two Republicans who didn't vote for the bill were Rand Paul and Johnny Isakson. Pretty sad. edit: Rand Paul is listed as a cosponsor on the bill.

  Also a problem with this political setup: they chose not to vote rather than voting against. To avoid being wood-shedded by their party I assume?

    Yep. I'm betting that they didn't speak out on it, either.

    They didn't vote because they are probably up for re-election soon and its expected to be a close race.

  Not present is not a 'no' vote. Its a petty attempt to not be associated this bill once Paul knew the GOP had enough votes to pass it without him. He could have voted no and stopped this bill if he chose.
