Wouldn’t it just be easier to build a refinery closer and ship the finished product?

They came to annoy vacationing folks...that's what it's all about these days.

This pipeline has to go in. Better yet, build refineries right over the border in the U.S.

Your tax dollars at work. Anyone still want to argue we cannot balance the budget without tax hikes?

65 doesn’t sound that big after all the Tea Party events. Most of them look like union bosses. Likely paid time and a half.

Pray for America

No, you would still need a pipeline to ship the finished products.

The US has not built a refinery in decades. They are more economical if located close to:

1) Supply source, as in near the wells or at the end of a pipeline.

2) Near the destination market or near a pipeline that serves the destination market.

3) Close to industry and service companies that sell to and service the refinery industry.

Ship them all up to Martha’s Vineyard in Obama’s new bus’s,

They can protest up there.
I am sure they might get a real close encounter with him at the ice cream stand.

Honestly, if I was President I wouldn’t approve this either......

The reason for all the excess capacity in Texas Refiners is because the big dolt in the Whitehouse right now won’t let us drill for oil in the gulf!

In other works, the dolt created the problem in the first place.

only 65 arrested? I was hoping for 650. Maybe only 66 showed up.I hope they clean up after themselves.
Does barry soetoro know about this protest? why isn’t he cancelling his vacation? doesn’t he care? doesn’t he know this is extremely important stuff?

PS: why does that logo have shark fins?

It will be REALLY COOL if Obama is so desperate, as well he should be, to shore up his left flank that he must place EPA/ESA hurdles in the way of this pipeline.

I only say this because of the ENORMOUS political benefit to the GOP and because I know it would not stand for more than 17 months.

Wow, what a great campaign issue it would be.

How many dem 'protesters' in are getting 'community service credit' for traffic violations?

It's the new dem 'rent a crowd' technique...
