Just because some may support the Keystone pileline, it doesn't mean that they therefore support the construction of all pipelines any where. On a side note, since when did NJ become a stronghold for the GOP?
Are Republicans in support of building the Keystone pipeline in the backyards of Democrats?
They are free to build a pipeline through my back yard so long as I am properly compensated!
A couple things you might want to consider first:
Quote:
The Keystone XL pipeline has brought the issues of eminent domain and landowner rights in Texas into the spotlight. Some landowners have refused to sign agreements with the company, and in response the company behind the pipeline has filed claims of eminent domain. Over a hundred in Texas.
Gulf Coast refiners plan to refine the cheap Canadian crude supplied by the pipeline into diesel and other products for export to Europe and Latin America. Proceeds from these exports are earned tax-free.
Quote:
Keystone XL will increase gas prices for Americans—Especially Farmers
By draining Midwestern refineries of cheap Canadian crude into export-oriented refineries in the Gulf Coast, Keystone XL will increase the cost of gas for Americans.
Quote:
A rupture in the Keystone XL pipeline could cause a BP style oil spill in America’s heartland, over the source of fresh drinking water for 2 million people. Keystone XL will cross through America’s agricultural heartland, the Missouri and Niobrara Rivers, the Ogallala aquifer, sage grouse habitat, walleye fisheries and more.
Great.. promotion of a group of true crazies ... were you one of the activist's living in the trees trying to stop the Southern route a couple years ago, throwing human waste down on the worker's. Or chaining yourself to the equipment. Yea... that was real smart and accomplished a lot didn't it? There are actually organization's and people that have a right to be concerned and to take a stand against the pipeline.. But the tar sands action people are a bunch of crazed greenies who absolutely know nothing about the line. Begging for donations. I loved the fact that at one time their "want list" on their website wanted someone to donate diesel generator's and a helicopter so they could fight against big oil. LOLOLOLOLOL.

Doesn't bother me. Nor does the wind farm in southern Alberta. I think they're cool.
No, that's Republicans. They said their reason was cowardice, but I think it's just as likely they were lying for the sake of obstructionism. I believe the prison in question, the one Republicans didn't want to use to house terrorists becasue of their cowardice, was in Indiana.
Wah! It's unfair! How pathetic. So: do you think Republicans in Indiana are really the cowards they present themselves as, or do you think they were lying?
Full of crap as usual. The opposition to the transfer was to let the military tribunals handle the prosecution of the terrorists. Move them to US soil would then mean the civilian courts handle the prosecution. These rabid dogs should never be afforded the protections US citizens enjoy since those idiots were fighting to bring down the US.

This organization was telling little old women to chain themselves to heavy machinery. This organization had CHILDREN standing out on the side of a busy highway holding signs against the pipeline. This organization had people climbing inside pipe. This organization was too busy LYING on their website about the welds on the pipe when it was clear that the pictures being posted were not even of the pipe. (For your information... pipeline welds run VERTICALLY not horizontally). And then when these folks were finally arrested begging... and I do mean BEGGING for bail money. It is a wonder that someone didn't get killed! One lady chained herself to the bottom of a loaded stringing truck set to take off down the road. Thank heavens that someone noticed her before that truck driver got in and pulled away. They'd still be finding pieces of her on that highway.
And by the way.... your articles... are about XL.... NOT about the southern expansion project that is where this all occurred. If you want to discuss the pipeline pro's and cons.... you should first know just what your talking about.
Pipelines are fine, but they should ideally avoid populated areas.
