No, most Americans don't want the pipeline. A handful of Republicans do.

Ask the people in Nebraska who are losing their land by eminent domain so a Canadian company can build the pipeline.

the Republicans did the same shit!

Most Americans are stupid, I mean they did elect Bush twice.

Congrats to the democrats. That old bastard Mitch McConnell can go fuck himself. Nobody needs that pipeline.
On a different note, last night on Vice they explored the aftermath of the BP Gulf oil spill. What a fucking tragedy it is. If you haven't seen it yet, watch it. Very sad. |

I watched that doc a long time ago, crude awakening. it's more about the damage from the dispersant corexit and the damage it did. You've never been to the gulf of mexico, I was raised there and it has been and always will be a shithole. we used to collect tarballs and squids on the beach |

There's already many major oil pipelines...what's so important about this one, which will only create a handful of permanent jobs? You have to ask yourself why Republicans in congress want it so badly ---- Is it because they give a shit about anyone who needs a job? Or is it because they stand to line their own pockets with money paid to them on the sly by oil companies? I'd say it's more likely they got paid. |

When Republicans try to block something, there's always a reason like not wanting underprivileged people to have healthcare, or not wanting women to have control over their own bodies, or wanting to make sure Wall Street has no regulation so they can run wild, or not wanting black people to be able to vote against them. Everything they stand for seems to make them look like a bunch of jerk-offs. |

Here's what I don't get, a good economy would put more money in the hands of the folks? I think everyone can agree with that.
American Business has moved a lot of their business overseas, Why? It's cheaper! I think everyone can agree to that. Right now America has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world, Means less profit for companies, more for taxes that the government collects. Seems to me that if the government wants more taxes, it would want more companies to collect from, if that's the case, why is Obama rallying to raise the taxes on business? That's what stated the Revolutionary War!~ That just shows the comparison with the Pipeline, he's playing to his agenda, not what the people want. More oil production getting refined means less dependency , what is wrong with that? That's why gas prices have dropped, We are producing more on PRIVATE lands and that has lowered prices, if not for that, because of Obama denying so many permits to drill on public and federal lands, the prices would be doomed to keep rising. Shipping cost wold rise even more raising the prices even more on everything... |

OPEC is why gas prices are so low! OPEC ramping up production and flooding the market with cheap oil is why American oil is going to be UNPROFITABLE until it's once again in the 100 dollar / barrel range.
Incidentally, under Obama there is more oil production in America than ever in history. Talk about him not signing permits all you want. It's like talking about Babe Ruth leading the strikeout record and ignoring the home run record from the same season. Politics. |

Don't you think that these issues should be addressed, properly? Quote:

My beef isn't just with the pipeline. The oil industry, in general, is irresponsible, dangerous, and doesn't give a fuck. Maybe if they were made to get their shit together they would deserve more business. Currently though, they should be very heavily regulated, heavily taxed, forced into a minimum 10 year spill-free record of perfection, and forced to pay for every single clean-up until every single area is pristine and spotless, where life can grow once again. |

oh humm.. see how that works? Also who are these "most" Americans.. No one I know wants it.. |

I have a feeling we are about see a game of "What comes around goes around." After an historic number of filibusters by the republicans, the democrats are now likely going to return the favor. Also, I saw a news story today where the headline was how Obama had already threatened to veto pretty much everything the republicans were working on.
And so it continues. One party obstructs then the other obstructs and nothing meaningful ever really happens. |
Quote:
2 Problems with that: First, Oil companies pay the least amount of taxes in the US. Next, why buy all that oil from Canada (creating Canadian Jobs in Canada and taking away jobs from Americans) when you get pump your own oil? The US is now the biggest exporter in the world, right? Why now the big push for the pipeline? It doesn't make any sense unless someone rich enough, has a huge amount to lose unless this gets done. See? |

no. nothing more should be done to clean the gulf.. nothing. we made it worse trying to clean it. we didn't learn from exxon valdez, the clean-up fucked that place up much worse too. the only option is to let nature sort it out. are you aware the mississippi river dumps as much toxins into the gulf as the bp spill did on a DAILY basis? don't get me wrong, the gulf is fucked up, but I am sayuing it's fucked up more than it already was. it's a toilet. I'm prolly got cancer already from all the gulf seafood i've eaten. bottom feeders too, shrimp, crab and crawfish |

No it wasn't.. that's what you are making it out to be to fit your narrative. Democrats from the beginning have NOT supported the pipeline.. Don't make stuff up.. |
