Can it be put back in with a reconciliation package with the Senate bill?

Yeah - but then it comes around for a vote again.

Major Garrett on Fox said yesterday that the GOP members that are against the drilling in ANWR said that if it is put back in...they won't vote for the spending cuts....

Besides...why should we drill for oil....when Congress will just haul the oil companies in front of a hearing and berate them for making any profits...

Just thinking that it may be a reverse of the Kerry thing,in this case "I voted against it before I voted for it".
I suppose these guys/ladies are reacting the way their constituents in the districts where they are from want them to.Perhaps this is the party leadership giving them some cover.
No I don`t believe in Santa Clause or the Easter bunny before anyone asks,just throwing something out as food for thought.
