That's very minimal...extremely so and NOT thousands by a long shot.

Look, my hometown went through this with the frackers and that's a whole lot more involved then a single pipeline.........once the cap is done there's no more work..it's a done deal....they have 'one' guy running around the area reading meters. I'm telling you this isn't about thousands of jobs...its’ temporary workers who will more than likely sign on with the bidders.

Then when it's done Canada ships the oil out to foreign countries who already have the contracts...the oil does not go here. So what is the purpose for us?

You have to resist the urge to listen to him. I read it and that was bad enough. If I had listened it would have rotted part of my soul.

Here’s the breakdown of bennies from TransCanada:

The $5.3-billion Keystone XL Pipeline Project is the largest infrastructure project currently proposed in the United States. Construction of the 1,179-mile pipeline will require 9,000 skilled American workers. The project will provide jobs for welders, mechanics, electricians, pipefitters, laborers, safety coordinators, heavy equipment operators and other workers who rely on large construction projects for their livelihoods.

In addition to construction jobs, an estimated 7,000 U.S. jobs are being supported in manufacturing the steel pipe and the thousands of fittings, valves, pumps and control devices required for a major oil pipeline.

TransCanada has contracts with more than 50 suppliers across the U.S., including companies in Texas, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Indiana, Georgia, Maryland, New York, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Ohio, Arkansas, Kansas, California and Pennsylvania.

TransCanada employed 4,844 Americans in Oklahoma and Texas on construction of the $2.3-billion Gulf Coast Pipeline Project, which is expected to be complete by the end of this year.

Construction and development of the Keystone XL and Gulf Coast Pipeline Projects is anticipated to generate $20 billion in economic impact in the United States, including $99 million in local government revenues and $486 million in state government revenues during construction.

The pipelines will also generate an estimated $5 billion in additional property taxes during their operational life.

The Canadian Energy Research Institute predicts that Keystone XL will add $172 billion to America’s gross domestic product by 2035 and will create an additional 1.8 million person-years of employment in the United States over the next 22 years.

Thanks for the update. Looking for a link to the replay, now.

I hope she stays strong in her conservative values and will work with Sens Cruz, Lee, Sessions and Sasse as a coalition/force (against Turtle).

Not directly.

Mentioned Sandy Hook, Newton and Tucson in passing though.

It was wall to wall lies.

I suppose it takes skill to string so many lies together for a semicohesive one hourish presentation though.

Meh.

Did you get that bit about child care costing more than the mortgage?

Shouldn’t one parent stay home?

Wait until his family from Gitmo becomes his foot soldiers here in America. The stupid voters who voted him in will see heads roll on our homeland and Obammer will go golfing.

CNN has a snap poll in which even they admitted was mostly Dem voters: 51% approved. Well, I will bet that Fox will have one different. MSNBC will have elected him KING. Joni was OK but 7 min. is not much time to have a real contrast. Ted and Rand were smoother and Ted was better on Fox.

Agree. Just listened to her speech. She needs to update her look - beautiful features to work with. I think her speaking will become more natural, as she gets more practice. She sounded a little too rehearsed (a little nervous?), to me.

Stay strong, Joni...you have Midge to contend with along with the Dims.

just had to say the best part was the stone cold dead stares of the generals hearing about Gitmo.
