Me thinks congress prefers to focus on fake problems so they don't have to focus on the real problems? At the end of the day, this is not that big of a deal...for either party.

Both sides are total hacks on the Keystone issue. Yes it will create some jobs and lower gas prices - but not a lot and not by much. Yes it is ultimately bad for the environment to burn more fossil fuel - but not building keystone really only slightly delays the inevitable if nothing else is done.


Lanrdieu is being voted against by R's because of ObamaCare - an issue that voting her out of office will have absolutely not effect on going forward, as a repeal by Congress simply will not happen. She is being voted against by D's because of Keystone, as issue that, in the grand scheme of things, really matters a whole lot less than a lot of other Democratic concerns.
