Common sense?! Common Sense is to use existing pipeline not wasting money building a new one! Common sense is expanding the pipeline through the purposed alternate route that doesnt go through an aquifer! Common sense is looking at all the studies that show higher taxes on the rich doesnt limit economic growth and lower taxes on the rich doesnt help growth! Common sense?!? Obviously you are using a different definition of "common sense"!

Raising taxes on millionaires doesn't bother me. Running a pipeline through an aquifer does.Why you wouldn't just pass the Payroll Tax Cut extension. Go along with the pipeline study since it is going to be built anyway and fund the government. It's just too easy but you and your Republican buddies are making a political football out everything. It's time for term limitations on the Senate and House. I'll vote for that and you would be out of there.

You just lost 6 votes from me, my friends and family and your opponent has gain them you violated your oath by voting for the indefinite detention of American citizen without Trial. What is wrong with you people in Washington doesn’t the bill of rights mean anything to you?

I'm sorry that many people can't get past their political following to see the facts. Most of the comments here are from people that obvously have NO first hand knowledge of the Oil & Gas business nor the appurtenances that go along with it.

@jjw00d60 I doubt we can tell Canada not to extract their oil. If we don't want it, they will just sell it to China and I assure you they will want it, lots of it and their refining will not be nearly as cautious as our processes are. The discussion is not about extracting and refining the oil, it is about where we would like to get the oil we use, Canada or Middle East.

@phuchue48 I doubt that the cost will go down but the supply will be more reliable. If you believe their is risk of leakage, I would rather it leak on land than in the ocean. We have a much better opportunity to clean up and leakage and the potential harm I believe is less.

[atexan1948]

@DefilerWyrm Exxon will probably get oil anyway, how would you prefer they transport it? A pipeline across a secure border over land or in tankers across the oceans and insecure routes? Please think for yourself. Which is better, not what your political party is.

[atexan1948]

@loulou2lou You actually prefer buying oil from the middle east over canada and transporting that oil half way around the earth in oil tankers and loading and unloading it in the ocean vs piping it overland? I recommend you think for yourself instead of repeating the nonsense you hear on TV

[loulou2lou]

I don"t

The pipeline may be the beginning of the end.The problems it farms may impact millions of Americans.Who cares what the senate thinks.Put oil only on salads not in peoples water.
