And now...the GOP will move to lose the Native American vote!

WATCH Native activists sing in Senate to celebrate Keystone XL bill 8217 s failure

Even if the GOP controlled Senate in 2015 approves the pipeline, law suits are being lined up to stop it. Good thing Native Americans are not increasing in population like the Hispanics. The GOP will lose another sector of America.

Yeah, they are losing big time. Good work, Jim.....

I think all 50 of them were voting Democrat anyway.

Let's make a deal !!

In exchange of allowing the pipeline to go forward (and it will) the U.S. government will agree to rename the line:

"The Redskin Peace Pipeline".

If this thing were such a good idea it would have happened already. Amazing how republicans want the federal government to run roughshod over all of the NIMBY (not in my back yard) groups opposing it.

Are Native Americans a significant enough voting block to even give a shit?

Yeah, apparently the money wasn't there to have it rammed through in the usual fashion. Like the SAFE Act in NY, or the federal reserve charter in 1913.

In the end, the pipeline will be built.

The oil is already hitting the market by pipeline and by train. Most of this is political. Warren Buffet is the major investor in the trains that carry the oil to market, that is why the Dems stonewall any attempt to make the line. Trains are far worse than this pipe line.

It's all political at the end of the day. IN the end, it's a case of, NOT IN MY BACK YARD.

None of the people who are in favor of this worthless boondoggle are directly affected by it so of course, they're in favor of it. If it was their backyard, they would feel differently.
