Dang, that's a long train ride from ND to Florida? WTF
"A 90-car train operated by a subsidiary of Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (NYSE: GWR) delivering crude oil from North Dakota to Florida continues to burn Saturday after 20 cars and 2 engines derailed in Alabama early Friday morning. No injuries have been reported and authorities plan to let the conflagration burn itself out."
If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2
Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.
The oil is going to move one way or another, rural pipelines tend to be safer than railroads that tend to run through the center of towns. Or interstate highways.

Isn't Keystone a talking point that has little to do with the US. Wasn't it a pipeline to get CAN oil to China? Why should the US care, maybe folks figured that out.
The real question is what happened to Syria (remember we were almost at war until the news cycle switched over) and what happened to Tebow, did he become a priest?

Well the choices for Canada was to build it over the Canadian Rockies and keep the jobs there or run the pipeline through the Midwest and the construction jobs stay here and the US could buy that crude before it winds up in tankers to head for China.

Are you telling me all this political back and forth were over some temporary, unsustainable union jobs, you have to be kidding me?
How on earth would they plow a path from Canada to the Gulf coast without going over private property. And of those 10,000's of private properties, not all of them would sell willingly. Thus eminent domain? Were people honestly willing to trade property rights for temporary jobs so that Canada could sell China more oil. This was a domestic US political issue?
What am I missing? There is no way a bunch of conservatives were willing to trade private property for a fleeting job. Are you sure that people didn't muddy the waters to make this seem like it had to do with our energy situation?
I think a better post would be "Who made keystone a domestic political issue wasting our time and distracting us from other things?"
Who made Keystone a domestic political issue? Enviro-whackos, especially Hollywood lefties.
And they don't need to sell the land, they can just lease right of ways.
