Then they shouldn’t complain in a few years when the price goes back up. East Asia will take it then.
You union suckers who voted Democrat now ought to understand that union jobs take a back seat to environmentalist extremism.
Lemme get this straight - they are saying they will use the same tactics to pass Keystone that they used to block DHS funding/amnesty? And then cave and give obola exactly what he wants? Holy shmokes! Anyone who insists on continuing to vote GOP is clearly, painfully just as anti-American as the left is. This is beyond ridiculous.
Do like the Beatles. Send him a new bill “eight days a week” until he signs it.
I think this will be the pattern the next two years.
Any reasonable bill the Republicans put to Obama’s desk, whether it is repealing Obamacare, or Tax Reform or anything else will be vetoed.
Any attempt to override the veto will die the same death as Keystone XL.
I can’t blame Republicans for Keystone XL. They’ve done what they could do under the constraints the Constitution places on them.
What else can be done?
They can continue putting this bill to the White House and Obama can veto it till his pen runs out of ink but the results will be the same.
“Republicans have said that if they couldn’t override Obama’s veto, they plan to wrap legislation green-lighting the 1,700-mile pipeline into a spending measure or broader bill, such as the federal highway bill.”
Sure they will. If they attach Keystone to a highway bill (or any funding bill), Barry will say he will veto it and then either Dingy Harry will block it, or Barry will in fact veto it. In either case, McConnell and Boehner will fold since they do not want to be responsible for “shutting down” the highway fund.
I’m sure Barry wishes McConnell/Boehner would occasionally fight, just to make it interesting. It’s just too easy for him now.
All it takes is one call from the head of the DNC, “Unless you vote with Obama, we will pull all the funding for your re-election”.
BOOM ..!!!! DONE ..!!!!
Disguise the bill in an abreviated form that looks like a golf scorecard. He’s bound to sign it.
First off, they can arrest the POS imposter in the White House. Until that happens, they are spineless, worthless worms.
So, the choices are:
* Send a bill Obama will sign
* Force a government shutdown.
I can’t think of any other option under the circumstances.
The GOPEE coulda st the gov’t down for two years but are wimps destined to be kicked to the curb in 2016.
The railroads are getting hammered now about railroad tanker cars...not being safe enough.
Personally...I think pipelines are safer.
Or they’re wrap it with an amnesty bill.
Disolve Congress they are no longer needed.
The house and senate, especially the Republican side ought to just go home, kick back with a shot and a beer and watch a little TV. They are hopelessly out classed in the governing department. Any time they spend trying to justify themselves is adding to the now overwhelming evidence that they are a disaster of the highest order. It looks like a Kindergarten game of “Mother May I?”
Congress voted not to stop imam Obama’s amnesty, not to build the pipeline, and SCOTUS will uphold obamacare. The people are no longer part of the equation..
