Reader Opinion: Against energy independence

The Keystone Pipeline bill passed in the Senate (Thursday), 62 to 36.

Our illustrious senators, Franken and Klobuchar, voted against. Not too surprising. Our commissar, Obama, won't support the pipeline. Seems his buddy, Buffett, a major campaign contributor, owns the railroad which carries most of the oil.

Never mind that the pipeline would create thousands of constructions jobs.

Never mind that the pipeline would reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

Never mind that the pipeline would create hundreds of jobs once completed.

Politics before reality.

Thanks to you who voted for these fools.
