Of course, he MAY NOT also. Aliens MAY come down from outer space and destroy humanity. You MAY be imaging this. How about saving the partisan whining until it's actually relevant.

That MAY make you actually make sense and not seem like an emotional partisan who just whines about anything.

We need energy independence as a matter of national security and that requires every source we can utilize.
Really? Was it the right that increased CAFE standards? For someone who is so concerned about energy independence, you seem to only tote the line of those who want to focus on production.

It's almost as if you're a partisan who just repeats what right wing radio tells you.

Many more jobs too. Right up my alley.

If you ever got hungry enough - you'd eat an endangered owl.


A lot of folks are getting hungry right now. Also, this pipeline won't cause cancer or death or misery.

Ya know,

People need jobs .... and all you want, is for the people in these states to die, because a portion of them might not vote for Obama.

You know what? I like the way you think. Not because I wish death on conservatives...but because you seem to hold the same contempt for conservatism as I do liberalism. I'm sure we'll clash at some point, but that's OK...I enjoy it!

Regarding the OP, can we expect you to forego any of the gas that is produced from the oil transported?

I thought it was for safety reasons. Jobs are good, but leaking chemicals around people is not.

Au contraire, I won't vote for Obama either. Too conservative.

People do need jobs though. Maybe we can employ them to just dump oil into our drinking water, sounds about as useful and safe as this pipeline.

OK Interlude, you're not a flaming liberal. Good.

Here is a map of pipelines criss-crossing the United States. NOT pouring oil into your tap water.

GREEN is oil. RED is gas.

The poster commented that he'd support the line because it might kill off conservatives in Red States. Other than that, I don't really hear any support for the pipeline. So my question to him was...will he forego any of the gas that comes from the pipeline since he has no other reason to support it?

You don't say yes to jobs until the work being done is proven safe. This pipeline puts our water supply in danger and is environmentally destructive in every mile of its path. If you are willing to forgo safety to people and the environment just so you can have a job, then you are insane. Let's all club baby seals! Let's all slash-and-burn the forests! Why? Because there's jobs, I tell ya, J-O-B-S! I'm goin' to Californy for gold!

We should be fixing roads, building and repairing bridges, restoring neighborhoods, fixing schools, teaching children, ALL the things that we need before we focus one dime on an ill-conceived and destructive for-profit pipeline that will ultimately only benefit corporations that don't pay taxes. Another fine example of government and corporations colluding to privatize the profits and socialize both the real and potential losses.
