“..The statement issued by the State Department said this latest review would, examine environmental concerns, including climate change...”

For the Democrats, high-paying jobs and lower gas prices aren’t as important as those environmental group campaign donations and votes.

“Alternative routing”? If you can’t figure it out in 36 months, you’ll never figure it out. It all boils down to the fact that some feel we need to continue to pay the middle east for our oil. The other fact is the willful distruction of our country and the lack of will of our politicians to put a stop to it.

And we won’t be open for business until we tar and feather the libtard marshmallows currently infesting the top levels of our government.

Again, I humbly offer my services to operate the guillotine.

I promise to do my duties with decency - and with a big, big smile.

On all these threads I always note that I have the two leading Republican office holders in this state (Nebraska) opposing this pipeline. REPUBLICANS.

Translated, in the past 36 months of review, we haven't found a reason to deny it yet. We will keep looking.

My guess is the Canadian SandTar oil will just go to China. Hell we don't need to be energy independent. Our friends in OPEC will keep us supplied in petroleum for the next 100 or so years until Nobama’s renewable energy goes on line.
and by then, hens will be laying hard boiled eggs. We will have lemonade springs and cops will all have wooden legs on that rock Candy Mountain It will be a virtual Utopia.

Good news! They found a route that was acceptable.

From here it goes by tanker to Asia.

If Canada finally gets pissed off and says to the U.S., “Forget it, we’re going with another plan”, and we lose the thousands of jobs this would create...... Katy bar the door if Obama dares come to my “oil refinery area” of Texas to camapign in 2012. His campaign rally will turn into a melee at best, a riot at worst.

Business has STOPPED in the United States until Jan. 2013...
Which “by the way” was and “IS” the plan...

That is what the Cloward-Piven tactic is supposed to “DO” and does..
Funny.. you don’t hear much of Cloward-Piven anymore since Glen Beck exited stage right..

Its almost like there is “conspiracy” to hide the term from America..
O’Really doesnt mention it, not Hannity.. or Greta.. even Savage and Levin don’t mention it anymore..

Its like the grand plan of leftists (Cloward-Piven) ceased to exist...
Amazing how through has been the “deduction” from common parlance..
Meaning the very PLAN (thats on-going NOW) has been deducted from common thought...
It is amazing that it could have been done. but it was done..

Which leaves only one thought!!!!!...
America is being milked by some very smart dairy farmers...
YOU... Yes.. You!!.... have been reduced to a Milk Cow..
AND.. “YOU” are worried about which Bull will be trotted out for the republican primarys..
WELL.. DUUUUGH!.. “shut up and chew your cud”...

The narcissistic Marxist in the WH found the perfect way, in his opinion, to delay his decision until after the election.

This is costing workers, companies and the U.S. billions just so Obama may not lose the votes of the enviros or some unions.

Obama is one pathetic person.

I for the pipeline, but not its current route. I’m against running a pipe through one of the largest aquifers in the world that supplies a huge amount of irrigated water. 27% of the irrigated land in the U.S. overlies this aquifer which yields 30% of the nation’s groundwater used for irrigation. In addition, the aquifer supplies 82% of the drinking water for the people living within the boundaries of the aquifer.

(check the High Plains Regional Ground-Water Study: http://co.water.usgs.gov/nawqa/hpgw/factsheets/DENNEHYFS1.html )

Not to mention the fact that this is a state’s rights issues.

Do you understand we have been running petroleum across this aquifer for decades in many pipelines without the problems the environmentalist have dreamed up?
