Impotence, thy name is Boehner
The Republicans, as always, sell out on principle and cave in to be “bi-partisan”, which is merely letting the Progressives/Socialists/Democrats have whatever they want. ALWAYS afraid of the State-Run-Mediap portraying them as “obstuctionist”, “racist”, “rich bastards against the Middle Class”, etc.
Boehner needs to be replaced by a MAN!
Another Republican el foldo.
Gutless Republicans screw America again. Who needs Democrats when you have “friends” like this?
Conservatives have but one remedy. Get involved in politics and vote the liberals out.
That is all.
What an asshat!
Stragegically, this is probably a good thing for our side at this point. The election’s four month’s away, and Keystone can be yet another club Romney can use to beat Obama over the head.
There are plenty Dems who see that oil from Canada, and the great jobs this pipeline will bring, should be a no brainer.
If Keystone went through, Obama would take credit the same way he has for the drilling increases that happened in spite of his actions, and he could just change his mind November 5 or get some environmental surrogate to stop it for years in the courts.
Can’t let energy security get in the way of highway pork.
Build a bunch of new highways that none of us will be able to afford to drive on. Sounds like something Boehner would do.
“Republicans had to drop their insistence that President Barack Obama approve the Keystone XL pipeline, and Democrats had to settle for allowing states to opt out of spending some funds on nonroad projects like bike and pedestrian paths. The GOP also rolled back its insistence on curtailing the EPA’s ability to regulate coal ash.”
The Republicans settled for bike and pedestrian paths over
cheap energy? The Republicans didn’t have to drop any
insistence on anything. Just spineless RINO cowards. They
deserve no respect.
