You might want to go to Red State blog. They debunked this argument.

Let's see ~ you put something into an appropriations bill then the next time you lose control of the House the other side doesn't put it in there and you lose the show.

I think we've been doing that with the Hyde Amendment for decades.

There's some wisdom of sticking such things in other bills of a more permanent character ~ alas, Democrat Presidents, and Democrat controlled Senates are always willing to let that legislation die.

I think the answer is STICK IT IN BOTH appropriations bills and regular legislation ~ every single stinking little piece of it!

The legislative sweetener that'll get even Obama to go along with it is to send him an appropriations bill that cuts deeper than any Democrat could imagine ~ I'm thinking a $1.2 trillion cut ~ maybe more ~ and it eliminates EVERYTHING they've argued we need for the last 60 years.

Or, they can sign on to the other bills with our preferred legislation first.

That'll probably leave Louise Slaughter with her panties in a bunch ~ if she even wears panties.
