    ok... so if the pipelines are clean as a pin for hundreds of miles, why block the pipeline for enviromental reasons? Especially in a day an age when we could use every job we can get. And a small break at the pump will keep the price of living down, helping the poorest among us.

    Because ARAMCO builds good pipelines.. They don't have leaks.

    None of this oil will be sold in the US.

    Good, cuz I was worried about Bambi.

    Maybe not. Why care? We still benifit from having the pipeline. And improving the over all supply of oil helps keep pricing stable. When the price of energy goes up, the basic price of living goes up. That hurts the poorest people first and hardest. Plus, we could use any job it creates.

    We have 2.5 million miles of pipelines that aren't currently operating at capacity.

    The price of oil will likely go down about 12% unless we have a war with Iran or some natural disaster.

    So TranCanada just has a few zillion dollars laying around to blow on a pipeline they dont need. You know, cause America has enough pipelines already. Now thats a JOKE. propaganda at it's finest..

    Oh... so we don't need the pipeline because the price of oil is about to go down "12%" LOL propaganda... And I thought the statement above was top rate. This one sets a new record in the whole realm of "propaganda"

    You should know nobody has anything to gain. Obama felt pressured to vote and he just didnt have enough time. You know 3 years is just not enough time for Obama

    His words not mine

    The decision to block this pipeline is beyond me. Why would we choose to continue our addiction to foreign oil when we have the chance to use our own resources? That's jsut dumb. In addition think of all of the interstate jobs and national production levels it would have required to make this a reality. Losing this plan is a loss for America. Obama probably blocked it only because the GOP brought it to the floor. I hope in November that Obama's replacement will have enough sense to restore and expand on the Keystone Oil Pipeline plan.

    I thought The Obama was focused on jobs like a "laser"? Guess The pipeline got past his laser vision.

    A laser? Hell no. He tried to derail and cancel the budget for the Navy's Rail Gun. You know that vastly destructive super weapon that's currently being tested? He tried to cancel it. Somebody must have said something because that was months ago and I saw an article yesterday about the project still running. :hmm:

    I believe that your choices do not address the problem but rather distract from it. It defintely hurts Americans, it hurts our economy, it will affect everything about the country even our security.

    Now who is doing it? It is Obama, the democrats and their allies and supporters. WHY are they doing that? WHY block it? HOW does it benefit them. Or is that not the right question? What do they hope to gain by blocking the pipeline and telling Canada to deal with the chinese?

    I think figuring out who has the most to gain from blocking is important.

    Which the left openly hates

    That the left thinks needs hurting because we stole everything and raped mother earth with our SUVs

    The left thinks Americans deserve to be attacked, ask Rev Wright.

    The Obama

    Yup

    Because America deserves it

    It's the right question. Is it payoff for campain contributions?

    Campain contributions. Staying in power is there motive

    How does a multi-billion dollar project not create thousands of jobs. Oh yes, the Canadians are lying because they're in league with GWB in retirement in his Crawford TX ranch. Is that it?

    Whether or not you believe Oil is Good or bad, for now oil is a needed commodity and it needs the proper transportation for it.

    Transporting the oil seems to be a "key-stone" in the pipeline question. Seems currently the oil travels to Texas by trains, owned by The Obama's political buddie, Warren Buffet. Also, on page 5-6 you'll see every arguement the drones make against Keystone shot down

    The Obama's veto of Keystone seems to be popular among America's enemys. Seems The Obama cares more about Russia/China/Middle East then he does us. Plus, his buddie, donner Warren Buffet and his railroad that transports the oil now are safe,

    Being that the pipeline will get approved in the long run I would have to say this thread is nothing more than a fictional game. In the end the President will get what he wants in exchange and the Oil men will get what they want. As for America, we gain nothing other another lesson in how our government operates. Now back to your game.

    You must got future seein powers. "America.... I feel a pipeline in your future...."

    It's a question? Not a game. I try to make it a lil light hearted and funny. Give it a shot.... "Who benefits the most from blocking the Keystone Pipeline?"

    Mad enviromentalist. Being a flip flopper. Ya, sounds like somethin he's down for. LOL

    The oil men will give money to people who hate them, get them elected, go out of bussines, and retire. Good plan.

    Well, except a pipeline to a lot of oil. Why buy our oil from Canada when OPEC has plenty?

    And we get a lesson too. Sweet. Thats 2 things we'll get out of it.

    Your turn.

    My turn? This is your fantasy game, I just bothered you by pointing out that it is pure fantasy. When it passes, remember I told you so. Enjoy.
