17 Senate Dems Cross Aisle to Support Keystone Pipeline
2013-03-25
The Senate, late Friday, gave important symbolic support for the construction of the Keystone Pipeline, delivering crude oil from Canada to US refineries. The vote on the amendment to the Senate budget draft won support from all Pubs and, importantly, 17 Dems. While the amendment is non-binding and generally meaningless, the 62 votes in support are enough to overcome any future filibuster on the issue.
No indication or timeline for approval by the Crown.
Meaningless vote to provide cover for vulnerable Dems. Champ and the EPA will find a way to kill it without leaving fingerprints on the body...

Sorry but once people are hooked on OPM they will never be productive.

To which their coming opponents should play this repeatedly during the election. Yeah, pay the royalties. It'll be worth it.

#2  They could revitalize Detroit by routing the pipelines from the Canadian tar sands and the Dakota tar sands to Detroit.

With all of the abandoned shipping facilities in Detroit, they could turn Detroit into a major distribution hub for domestic energy. Thus saving a Democratic paradise from further decay and get us the energy we need to reduce gas prices and get the economy going.

Of course the high gas prices are a scam to generate more tax revenues for the states and the feds.

#1  An "all of the above solution" using a pipeline [absolutely the least expensive, safest and cleanest method of moving any product]. "All of the above"; you knew it was a lie when the words spewed from his sorry lips.
