Actually, I'm not that upset over this. Slipping it in the bill in question would be a back door way to get it thru, but the point that these 6 make is that it should be debated on the record. I would rather have a record that said Senators A, B and C voted against energy independence than some slick back door trick.

you are exactly right but appears the only one (other than myself) capable of actually reading what was said & written and understanding the implications of such, rather than just jumping off into hype & hyperbole.

The title is misleading. These six didn't "turn against Bush" they were against drilling all along. In addition, Sen. Specter is also on record as being opposed to drilling in ANWAR.
