Her poll numbers sinking, desperate Hillary suddenly has a position on Keystone XL

No more "I'll tell you when I'm president."

Remember this? As the photo above will helpfully remind you, Hillary tried one of the more absurd dodges of her life back in July when she said she wouldn’t reveal her position on the Keystone XL pipeline until she became president. The faces of her purported fans furled in disgust and confusion as Hillary tried this one on for size: “I am not going to second guess (Obama) because I was in a position to set this in motion. I want to wait and see what he and Secretary Kerry decide.”

So because she “set this in motion” as Secretary of State, meaning the first four years of foot-dragging in the review process were under her watch, she felt she had a special responsibility to say nothing. I suppose that would include saying nothing about why, after four years, she couldn’t make a decision and handed it off to Kerry to do more foot-dragging.

We know the answer to all this, of course. The Democrats have no substantive justification for denying Keystone XL, but they know perfectly well that their environmentalist base will go insane if it’s approved. So they’ve spent seven years doing nothing, and Hillary hoped she could go through her entire campaign saying nothing.

When do the indictments start???

I know it is a bit of a party joke, with the present administration (focus: DOJ) but who knows?

She supported this when she was SecState. Bill ran around campaigning for it, and they have both taken contributions from Keystone companies.

Dick Morris just posted a video about this...

While you’ll have to ask u a what Hilary’s favorite position is, the democrat, former, front-runner can’t depend on any single issue to help her poll numbers. It takes a lot of “atta girls” to overcome one “oh $61+”

Servers can be wiped, but reputations can’t.

Hillary and Jeb, swirling down the toilet together. Flailing around for new positions as they do. At least there is some good news.

Maybe she could talk about real estate deals as well.

I was certain she had taken money Keystone lobby money. That she comes out against it now shows she is getting desperate. The Dem candidate in 2016 will be starting way to the left of most voters.

I thought her line was "You can read my position in my book."

Price reduced to 4.99 at most outlets.

Before they could even get the EPA to begin the required (and expensive) environmental impact studies they had to get the approval of the State Department because the project involved Canada. It was Hillary Clinton who gave them that approval.

Hopefully, Big Phama will return the favor if this old crone ever needs a life saving drug. “Sorry, Hillary...we stopped making that drug when we couldn’t make money on it.”

She had to wait to make a politically expedient decision, raising the moist finger to the wind.
