    Wait - - - why aren't you upset with Republicans for tying up the Payroll Tax Cut?

    Isn't the Republican Ideology one that says ...

    "TAX CUTS ALWAYS PAY FOR THEMSELVES."

    But NOW .... they change their tune .... NOW .... it's .....

    "TAX CUTS MUST BE FUNDED!"

    LOL ....

    The Morals of the Republican Party are built upon shifting sands.

    They are the Morally Vacant Party.

    ..

    Thanks for helping me prove this.

    Probably. The pipeline would create real jobs instead of make-work jobs paid for with our tax dollars. The liberals don't understand that kind of economics.

    You could say the same thing about the repubs. We don't need to raise taxes period (yes I understand the payroll tax would give the "non-rich" a whopping $78 a month on average but will also raise taxes to pay for it). I don't understand the "fix" to everything for libs is to raise taxes. Do they not understand trickle-down? We end up paying for it anyway. Just like when gas prices went up so did the cost of everything else.

    Stop with the taxes and just give companies and people the ability to plan long term. It is not that damn hard.

    And start freaking cutting the immense waste of spending.

    No, they will kill the pipeline instead of killing millions of Americans.

    First of all you must have not looked at all the crap they added. If it gets to the president he better veto it and have a White Christmas with Congress. I want that.

    Second the Koch brothers Keystone is a separate issue and has nothing to do with or should be combined. The Jobs bill creates more jobs and adds growth to our country instead of a few jobs and big money for the Oil Companies and Koch.

    Roads, bridges, infrastructure is more important and the Keystone should remain on the table as well. But only what Grover, Murdoch, or the Koch brothers want because it is not Obama is important. How about getting actual facts and look at what else was attached.

    When hate is more important than your country and reality there is a fundamental problem with ones priorities.

    You are waking up a sleeping Giant of people who do not let hate rule their lives.

    Yes, Obama is willing to shut down the government and veto the Omnibus Spending Bill along with the Pipeline project and hold America hostage.

    20,000 could have been created from the pipeline, imagine how many more could have been created from the people that started businesses from the pipeline? It's a chain reaction and the left doesn't get it.

    People here in the USA will NOT benefit from the oil that flows through the pipe line but the oil Corps will.

    It would Create a few jobs that will not last .

    From a macro-economic perspective, the pipeline is more important.
