This isn't good for Landrieu.
Wind farm funding isn't hurting for cash. The wind industry only exists because of green welfare. How about we support an industry that can actually stand on it's own feet? What's wrong with that?
I would like to know the names of the 14 Democrats who support it. I would like to compare the names to see if the new incoming Republican Senators would change that Nay to Yea. Now I am sure it will pass next year, the question in my mind is the number 67 as I think the President will veto it. Now the public seems for it:
Continued Support for Keystone XL Pipeline | Pew Research Center for the People and the Press
We already subsidize the oil industry. My point was that it was dumb to nix the pipeline, as it could be used as a bargaining chip. Do you need for me to clarify further?
And therein lies the doublespeak problem .

It's not double speak, that's how you encourage some critical businesses. Do you remember when shell spent a $billion drilling in northern Alaska looking for oil, only to be denied later the rights to go to production?

Let's see how many of those 24 Republicans up for reelection in 2016 get targeted, especially those like Kirk from my state .
Passage wasn't going to make any difference. She just wanted to be on record as introducing the bill. She never gave a flying **** if it passed.

completely different issue--but you knew that already -

Too bad there isn't a loyal opposition on the other side willing to deal as you've mentioned.
Hasn't been since the night Obama was elected, as you well know .
what is the earned income tax credit?

Of course she did .
The Democrats have demonstrated some of the poorest politicking and messaging in recent memory. They have given the public no clear plan at a time when that is exactly what the voters want. This has only been trumped by the most histrionic hyperpartisanship that I have seen in my lifetime on the part of the Republicans. And that includes impeaching Clinton for a blow job. ****, the idiots on the left even made a snuff film about Bush. How do you top that?
Unreal.
Oh? If she cared so much, why did she wait 'til now, to introduce the bill?
This issue is dead until the next Congress in sworn in. Will Obama Veto the legislation or sign it?
WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats on Tuesday defeated a bill, 59 to 41, that would have approved the construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, rebuffing a Democratic colleague, Senator Mary L. Landrieu of Louisiana, who had hoped to muscle the legislation through in advance of her uphill runoff election fight back home.
Forty Democrats and Angus King, independent of Maine, voted against the bill, with just 14 Democrats joining all 45 Republicans in support of the oil pipeline.

Senate Narrowly Defeats Keystone XL Pipeline
Greetings, pbrauer. :2wave:
I had read the breaking news about this on Yahoo earlier, but they didn't give the vote tally. Thanks for the update - that was nail biting close, and probably very disappointing for Mary Landrieu. The unions seemed to be behind approving the Pipeline, so I don't know if the President will veto it if it comes back again in January.

What tax breaks does the oil industry get that other industries do not?Preferential tax breaks are still picking winners and losers.
Why did the GOP House of NO wait so long until now?
To preempt Landrieu's bill first and let the chump Cassidy get credit first ?
