"Our military deserved a stand-alone vote on funding."

ALL our bills deserve a stand-alone vote on funding. It would immediately get rid of the pork. But you'll only hear how awful this method is when it's the "other side" doing it. Not a peep when done by one's own team!

The article linked doesn't really contain any real info about the bill. How did this get upvoted?
