Reply #9: Is it just me or are they getting more sneaky about this?

The GOP knows the American people don't want drilling in ANWR. Polls have shown this time after time. So instead of voting on it separately, the GOP will attach it to bills having nothing to do with ANWR drilling. For example, it was previously included in Bush's energy bill. ANWR dilling was defeated. Then the GOP tried to include it in this DOD appropriations bill, but instead of just attaching it like common pork, they snuck it in after the committee signed-off on it. Brazen cowardice!! If this latest attempt failed, I don't know what more they can do.

They'll just have to tell their sugardaddies in the oil/gas industry, "Not this time, dear. I have a headache!"
