#1 vote to override. Make the Dems vote on each and every contentious issue. Hairy Reid, accused pederast, is no longer there to provide cover, bitches

#5 What a petulant a**hole. The reality is that transporting the oil via rail, as it is currently done, is not only more expensive-- keeping energy costs artificially high which hurts the middle and lower class hardest-- but it's far more dangerous and risky for the environment than transporting via pipeline. It's politics and ideology at its worst.

#6 Currently North America is oversupplied with crude, compared with much of the world, especially Asia. Right now the economics of a pipeline would take the Canadian crude to a West Coast port for export to China. But it would be a rocky, foggy port. And a pipeline through mountains and across numerous active faults instead of benign, flat plains.
Buffet may not be the only connected party interested in blocking Keystone - China also benefits.

#7 Transporting by oil helps Dem donors like Warren Buffet, who has become quite the asshole.

#8 Unlike amnesty, net neutrality, obamacare, etc. Republicans are "not even close" to backing down on Keystone? Whatever.

#9 How's that 'laser like focus' on creating jobs and getting the economy back on line going?
