That's the rub, it wouldn't be for us. It would be coming through us, to a port in the Gulf, to get loaded on a ship, and taken overseas. That's where the republican lie comes into play. This is strictly a political stunt by the right. This oil does not help the US.

I don't accept that line of anti-logic. All these reasons why the pipeline would not benefit the US are just inventions meant to give cover to administration ideologues, and are put in place to divert attention away from the real underlying issue. Liberals don't like fossil fuels. That's why they want the price to go up to at least 5 dollars a gallon. Many people will not be able to afford it at that point and usage will go down along with the fictitious 'carbon footprint.' End of story.

They're a bunch of earth worshippers who think they're saving mother earth. It's bull from the get go and it's hard for me to believe you can line up with all the fairies given your line of work. Thankfully, the influence liberals have only goes so far as frackers have thumbed their noses at being controlled by the government, and developed a new technology that single handedly delivered the US economy from the doldrums of global recession. A technology BTW, that is centered in the fossil fuels industry, which despite all the renewable energy blather, still remains the only source of energy we have to exploit, and likely will ever be.

BTW, look back at post number 2 in this thread. Which one of us had the best handle on the potential for construction of the pipeline? Your boy is a hopelessly deluded ideologue, and he's predictable to a fault.
