You know, I'm rather sick of this pipeline balony.

The GOP would have us believe that this environmental time bomb called the Keystone Pipeline would have reduced gas prices and made us less dependent on foreign oil.

Both are misconceptions. We'd still be dependent on foreign oil. It would simply be coming from a foreign country other than Saudi Arabia.

And FYI, the pipeline's primary purpose was to export oil from the Gulf overseas, not to us. More than likely, China still would have gotten the lion's share.

The Republicans are keeping their hopes up that gas prices will skyrocket in a few months, and the blame will fall on Obama's lap. If you ask me, they're taking a two-part gamble that will irrevocably hurt them if either assumption doesn't occur.
