The EPA is taking exactly the position the White House wants which will be their excuse for not building the pipeline. As of now, there aren’t enough votes to override a Veto as enough Democrats are lining up behind the President.

The EPA and all their advisory boards which are loaded with liberals, academia and other wackos should be tarred, feathered and rode out of town on a rail.

I’d like to see some “terrorists” marching on the Canadian side of the border holding big printed signs that say:

“Keep Iran Rich!”

“Keep America Poor!”

“Paid for by PUTIN!”

Probably won’t at least in the near future. The current oil glut and price drop has probably killed it from the company point of view as well so for now it is a non issue. A different POTUS in a couple of years though might change things.

This is why no matter what we have to eliminate the communists Democrats from our system. The communists want to set up a dictatorship and to do that they have to destroy America first.

True enough. But with the GOP in control of the Senate and the House we still accomplish 2 main goals:

1. Force Dems to take positions that will hurt them in the next election. They will either vote for the pipeline or go on record as opposing it.

2. Force Obama to veto popular initiatives like Keystone. This will hurt all Dems in the next election.

We should see this cycle repeated many, mnay times in the next two years. If not, then the GOP is not doing it's job.

indeed, it is “imperative” (to use a communist murder action term) that they kill whoever is educated enough to remember better elders than them.

Communists are obsessed with creating a false history, with “de-educating” and completely washing out their mass to manipulate.

As the operator of a public water supply system for 30 years, I had to deal with the epa all the time. Although 95% of them are greenies, there were some I met who were there to get a couple years experience with the epa as a resume’ enhancer. “I was there. I know the ins and outs. I know how to deal with them.”

"This is private capital. This is private investment. Let it follow the market and let the market determine what should or should not be built."

This fact is lost on socialist Obama. Obama is pouring billions in tax money into "green" energy projects that go bankrupt, produce no jobs, have far more detrimental effects on the environment like the ethanol boondoggle and could never exist in a market without massive government subsidy. Do the greenies ever consider the thousands of birds chopped up by the forests of windmills or fried in solar plants or the over farming of marginal land and millions of gallons of water wasted as a result of the corn ethanol boondoggle?

Actually I expect lots of vetoed bills over the next two years.

Now about that bridge. What is the asking price? I’ve always wanted a bridge and the one in Brooklyn is just too far away and probably more than I can afford.

EPA is a thoroughly evil, anti-American, Marxist outpost and should be summarily shut down. NOW.
