It's discouraging. The whole oil sands project is a disaster; it's going to contaminate the water table, and will be the final straw on the back of global warming. It's the wrong project at the wrong time.

And made that iran-contra business go away. Why am I not surprised he's for the pipeline? Wow, all of those jobs we're going to be getting-NOT, while taking people's property for it and exposing our water supply and land.

to go down that road are either ignorant or too blinded by greed to realize that you can not eat or breath money.

It's not rape if you lay back and enjoy it, right?

For chrissakes, the guy is SMARTER when he thinks with his dick.

This is an environmental nightmare from start to finish. Any thinking person with half a brain knows it.

Oh, yeah, that's right, from nowhere near where the pipeline is going to run.

result from exploiting the tar sands.

We can create more jobs putting solar panels on houses and buildings in the Southwest and finding ways to store that energy.

We have solved worse problems that storing solar energy. We can do this.

The tar sands should stay as they are, where they are.

The Clintons -- sold out again.

I can't embrace any more neoliberal, environmental exploitation that serves no economic purpose other than enriching a select few. Nice try.

"Embrace it"?

Fuck you, man. One of the reasons I vote for Democrats is the presumption that they'll protect the environment, not fucking grease shit like this along.

3rd Way, Neo-Libs, are always open to a proposal that involves money.

That makes me very, very glad I did not vote for your wife in 2008. As much as Obama has disappointed me, I knew giving Bill a 3rd time would be terrible.

when all the oil produced in the Canadian oil sands has already been glommed onto by China?

Like you I suspect they are trying to arrange a deal with the oil companies to give this thing the green light in return for a lid on gas prices until after the election.

the american people are always taking the risk for these corporations-it's getting pretty obscene.

are we guaranteed the Canadian oil will be sold to American markets?

That oil will immediately flow onto foreign markets. Oil companies have no loyalty to any country, but only to their own profits.

Once a DLCer, always a DLCer.

Any electable President will have the moral and ethical desire to build the thing.
