unmitigated disaster waiting to happen

If the Republicans in DC had any desire to get enough votes to override Keystone, it wouldn't have been difficult. US Senators would have a hard time not supporting Keystone if it had been put on them for allowing these horrific rail explosions to occur.

OF COURSE oil should be transported by pipeline instead of highways or rail....DUHHH!!!!

I would get people out to go door to door along the tracks where the trains roll through Detroit and every other large and small city along the route. I would show people photos from Lake Megantic and other oil train derailments. I would simply state that I am GOP and I want people to know that I was trying to build Keystone to prevent disaster before it happens.

"I just want to make sure that you know I'm not to blame when disaster happens".
