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.
“Stragegically, this is probably a good thing for our side at this point.”
Yea like breaking someone’s hand with your face. At least
we will have nice bike paths and sidewalks to walk to work
on because, thanks to the strategic brilliance of the Republicans, we won’t be able to afford the gas and electricity
to charge/fuel our cars.
Great strategy, great strategy.
