1. Heitkamp up now

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

2. Heidi Heitkamp.

[cali]

3. awful, but Landrieu? Even worse.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

6. "We don't have to be dictated to by Russia and China."

And, "People in Mexico will stay in Mexico."

Yep. Worse.

[Nite Owl]

21. Doesn't

make any sense

[elleng]

4. Thanks. Landrieu up.

[cali]

5. My head is about to explode listening to that piece of shit, Landrieu

she's a liar and a crook. fuck her.

[Thinkingabout]

9. Her opponent is endorsed by Ted Cruz, bet she would be much better than Cassidy.

[cali]

10. yes, he's horrible, but I expect repubs to be just that. She's a democrat.

and she's a piece of shit.

[Thinkingabout]

13. He is also, she votes with Democrats much more than Cassidy ever would, chalk one more for the TP.

[pampango]

18. She is good on quite a few issues but her allegiance to Big Oil is hard to bear.

There are plenty of her negative positions at that site as well. We all know that the republican who will replace her will be much worse. I guess the question is: "Is the sacrifice worth it in the long run?

[cali]

7. Murky Mary is claiming that it will produce over 400,000 permanent jobs

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

11. With figures provided by the Chemical Industry. And she just loves the debate...

[TheCowsCameHome]

16. I think she is probably correct, cali,

if she's including all the new jobs KXL will create in the environmental/hazmat cleanup industry.

[procon]

8. Mary Landreieu is an embarrassment to any Democrat.

I've been yelling at the TV to no avail, but she's still talking/lying like a Republican. No one's job -- certainly not hers! -- is worth the consequences of passing Keystone.

[frazzled]

12. I used to listen to these kinds of debates in the Senate

And hang on to every word, keeping track of the arguments pro and con. But, alas, I too have gotten jaded over these past years. Just wake me when the vote is in. It really doesn't matter what anyone says: the outcome is always preordained before these in-front-of-camera, empty-hall speeches are made.

[Enrique]

25. same here

i wonder about C-span's ratings over the past few years.

[cali]

14. Patty Murray up

voting against it.

says we don't have all the facts and thus shouldn't be holding a vote now. stressing the environmental impact and climate change. good for her.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

15. Yay. My senator Patty Murray.

[cali]

17. Feinstein. Talking about the damage the process of extracting does

she's actually doing a good job.

[kentuck]

19. Giving the Repubs a little taste of their own medicine?

Have to get 60 votes to continue the debate and then schedule a vote.

[cali]

20. Hoeven up now. lying his fucking disgusting ass off.

[cali]

22. Landrieu: It's clean, clean clean and has nothing to do with climate change. fuck you Mary

enjoy your new lobbying career for big energy.

[steve2470]

23. Hoeven up again, with a pipeline chart nt

[cali]

24. and now for the vote.

Mary gushing over Hoeven. Mary's closing statement: To the opponents: This product will be produced and it will be moved. These heavy oils will not be exported. Oh, and she says LA does a great job on the environment. gad this woman is full of shit. "let us do more than send a message: Send hope to the middle class". The time is now to build the infrastructure to make this country energy independent.

shut the fuck up, Mary.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

26. McCaskill voted FOR KXL. Voted down with 41 Dem votes now. nt

[moriah]

27. If I read it right, they failed to pass it.

41 No votes.

[misterhighwasted]

28. Hoeven(R) & Heitcamp (D) were certain YES's. Owned by big oil in the NDakota Bakken Frack Field.

Puke

[cali]

[misterhighwasted]

32. thanks (correcting)

[misterhighwasted]

30. FAILED!!!!!!! Pres Obama can put his VETO PEN AWAY.

There's a glimmer of hope

[fadedrose]

31. We need another thread on the "aftermath"

I've been watching it and didn't want to hear the passage or non-passage alone...

[spanone]

33. if they pass this piece of shit legislation under a democratic senate, fuck politics.

[misterhighwasted]

34. COOL. Rosebud Tribe from SDakota saying Thank You!!!

Ha..yaaaaa

[moriah]
