Hillary Clinton: Pipeline, What Pipeline?

by Dan Riehl18 Nov 2014
With Senate Democrats defeating approval for the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline by one vote, the issue may flow all the way over into the 2016 presidential election, with one’s position on it being at least noteworthy, if not significant.
Unfortunately for Democrats, the woman setting herself up to be their standard bearer in 2016, Hillary Clinton, either isn’t even aware of the issue, or is already demonstrating an unwillingness to take positions on issues that may matter to a large swath of voters.
As the Washington Post points out, One Democrat with no position on the Keystone XL pipeline: Hillary Clinton. How’s that for leadership? It would appear Hillary is afraid to take a stand.
For Clinton, there is no upside to taking a stance. If she came out in favor of the pipeline, she would anger environmental and climate activists, including super PAC founder Tom Steyer and many other major Democratic donors. If she opposed it, she would be at odds with the business community.
That’s causing critics to pounce. America Rising PAC wonders if it isn’t “disqualifying.”
In recent months, Clinton has twisted into knots to avoid providing an answer to the question:
BOOK: Clinton did not mention the Keystone XL pipeline in her book ironically titled Hard Choices.
VIDEO: Clinton dodges a Keystone question on October 6, 2014 at the progressive think tank Canada 2020
AUDIO: Clinton dodges a Keystone question on June 18, 2014 at the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce
VIDEO: June 16, 2014 at the Toronto Region Board of Trade, a friendly questioner says she won’t talk directly about Keystone
VIDEO: Canadian TV anchor calls out Clinton for not giving a straight Keystone answer on June 16, 2014
INTERVIEW: Clinton tells the The Globe and Mail she can’t respond to Keystone question on June 15, 2014.
INTERVIEW: On March 5, 2014 at the Vancouver Board of Trade, Clinton is a “no comment” on Keystone
Just yesterday, possible Clinton primary foe Martin O’Malley came out against the pipeline.

A politician, who will most likely run for President, dancing around an issue so as not to offend anyone? what a surprise.
What's her position on renewable energy?
Critical thinking would allow you to come to the conclusion that a person's stance on energy encompasses more than the proposed Keystone pipeline that will not bring energy to the United States.
Mule there are many good websites that will teach you how to critically think. Would you like links?
The most astonishing thing to me is that the Republicans seem to not want Christie, yet he's the only one who has a shot at winning. Hilarious.

Romney had the same problem last election. His own party seemed to hate him but he ended up with the nomination as he was the least crazy of the group of candidates so I would not rule Christie out although with his temper I think he would get torn to shreds by the Democrats.

Hillary has no position on anything.
Liberals never make a policy statement in fear that it will be used against them before an election.
That is why obama's most common vote in the state legislature and in the senate was "present".
Of course not one of the liberals here can state any public or private sector Hillary accomplishment and there iis the perfect democratic candidate. Nothing there.

Or it's that's you are not interesting, and your questions are boring and pointless, and answering them is just a waste of time. Are you aware that you come off as very uneducated compared to the rest of the people here?

Tell us about your "executive" job that is involved with Ebola. Then tell us about your 7 years in the Marines. 😛
Then tell us who is a registered idiot and liar.

And the fool speaks again.
Pops is the idiot who didn’t know the new congress isn’t sworn in until January and it was the democrats that killed the Keystone Pipeline bill.
Same idiot that can’t list one Hillary accomplishment nor has any idea why the liberals got their a$$s kicked in the election.
While the liberals here love to bash me, not one of them can support any obama policy without copying someone else’s work and pasting it here.
It is easy to understand for the majority of Americans to understand why the liberals are rejected at every level of government: the liberals simply refuse to do The Peoples work in preference for big government. Liberals need someone to tell them how to think.
BTW - on the Ebola issue, can any liberal state the obama administrations policy?
Don't think about it too hard, it doesn't exist.

A quick google search will list her accomplishments. Why is this relevant and important to you?

I support Obamacare, because, despite its flaws, I believe its worth it for the millions of people who now have health insurance. I also support his withdraw of troops from Iraq when he did it. We should focus our efforts on our own problems, and let the dysfunctional Middle East solve their own problems. I believe we can prevent ISIS from ever attacking the US. Other countries in the Middle East should fight ISIS now....not the US. These are all my own words.

Don't think about it too hard, it doesn't exist.
A quick google search will reveal his policy, but why is it relevant and important to you?
And I am fully aware that you are a troll and get your kicks out of angering liberals, but sometimes I enjoy it. Carry on. It's hilarious how all the conservatives ignore and distance themselves from you. Why is that?
BTW - on the Ebola issue, can any liberal state the obama administrations policy?
Don't think about it too hard, it doesn't exist.
Seeing how there is not a single case of ebola in the USA right now, and seeing how not a single person has died from contracting ebola in the USA, I'm really not sure why people are even discussing ebola as a health concern in the USA anymore. It was nothing more than an election scare tactic. The election is over, and suddenly (rightly so) it is no longer an issue.
But if you want to talk about diseases that don't exist in the USA right now, maybe we can expand the list and contact Fox News.

There are over 4,000 Americans working/living in West Africa now and, at some point, will be returning to The U.S.
The obama administration and the CDC so far have proven themselves incapable of handing Ebola.
If you don't think thats a problem why don't you volunteer to, say, house the returning people at your house?
Fox News reports all the news, not just the obama administrations spin.
The press's first responsibility is to inform the public and hold the government accountable.
That is why Fox News is the most watched and most trusted news outlet.
Remember the liberals actually believed obama when he repeated his lie "If you like your plan, you can keep it".
You keep on believing the lies. Ignorance is bliss.
Ignorance is bliss.
There are over 4,000 Americans working/living in West Africa now and, at some point, will be returning to The U.S.
How did you get that number? Can you share the link? Of the 4,000, how many are workers and how many are living there? How can you determine that the ones living there will be returning to the US?
The obama administration and the CDC so far have proven themselves incapable of handing Ebola.

Anyone returning from West Africa is tested for the illness upon leaving and arriving - that much is certain. As for what happens when they arrive, it seems evident that his policy is to leave it up the states to decide....isn't that what conservatives usually prefer?

2 people contracted Ebola in this ciuntry and both were cured. Yeah, total failure.
Exactly what does the company that you are an executive for do for Ebola? 😛 Please, share your expertise with us.
Ms. Clinton's numbers are trending in the wrong direction...

Who is she running against? Wouldn't that have something to do with her chances?
Like I said, I won't vote for her. I don't understand your infatuation Alloak. You are like a school boy with a crush.
No one has declared yet so polls are meaningless yes? 😉
You would think, right?
Heck, the Republicans might run Charlie Manson. How would Hillary do against him?
When polled against an unnamed Republican candidate, she lost 40% to 34%. Of course, we'll find a way to spin that into a great development for Hillary.
I didn't spin it as anything. I just think it is a little premature.
Quite frankly I think the endless Presidential election is one of the biggest problems with American politics. The main stream media love the revenue but the American People get tired of the hype.
It is the clearest sign of how money impacts and waters down democracy.
This is one of many reasons I'm not a member of either political party. They both have way too much money and power. In my opinion the two parties exist only to fragment the American People while nickel and diming the electorate they bamboozle.
But carry on Alloak. It's cloudy out today and I'm a bit bored.
If Hillary doesn't run, doesn't get the nom, or loses the election, I will bet the liberals here on this site will gladly admit they were wrong. That's the difference between liberals and conservatives. I have yet to hear any conservative on this site or in the media admit they were wrong about something. Humility is a sign of great leadership.

Having an unnamed candidate is probably about as good as it's gonna get for the Republicans.... 😛
I don't even care all that much, but that was just waaaaay too easy.

1. That's not true. I for one admitted I was wrong in my prediction regarding the last election. I was also wrong to vote for Obama in 2008 but that's another issue.
2. I have never heard anyone ont he left here admit they were wrong about anything.
3. I agree that humility is a great trait in a leader. I have NEVER encountered or read about an American leader who is less humble than the current president.
Lately, yes, he has not been humble.
If Hillary doesn't run, doesn't get the nom, or loses the election, I will bet the liberals here on this site will gladly admit they were wrong. That's the difference between liberals and conservatives.
Now we've seen it all.

I remember a time when you used to add interesting rebuttals.

Since you stated she won't run, does it matter?
Potential challenger seems to be picking up steam...
