What democrats are against, Republicans will always support

Democrats block keystone pipeline
What Keystone creates for Republicans

Vocabulary :

• Caucus- a meeting of the members of a legislative body who are members of a particular political party, to select candidates or decide policy.
• Senatorial limbo - a senate being stuck between two things
• Energy-minded voters - voters,who care about where and how we get our energy
• Infrastructure-the basic physical and organizational structures and facilities
• Emissions- the production and discharge of something, specifically gas or radiation 
• Prolong- extend the duration 

Key Players:

• Senator Mary Landrieu (D)- supports the pipeline 
• President Obama (D)- has approved nearly 1,700 - mile  
• Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R) - all for it 
• Senate Kay Hagan (D)- stands to Mary  
• House Speaker John A. Boehner (R)- supports it 
• Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D)- agreed to hold a vote for the bill

Questions:

1. Will McConnell be ready to fight for this issue and will he win?

2. Are Republicans only supporting the pipeline to look good for the public? 

3. Will any Democrats end up supporting the pipeline ?

Takeaways:

• The fact that the Democrats leaders all agreed to hold the vote just to impress the energy- minded voters, which we suppose to allow the Republicans to party about the inflated claims about the pipeline before the country.
• This particular topic is not going to just die off so easily. In January, this pipeline will be voted for McConnell is not giving up without a fight or in this case a debate. I just hope the Democrats are prepared fro this fight. Unless, Obama is going to be like "we will support you on this issue if you help us out with one of ours."
• As for Mary Landrieu, the one who got noticed supporting the pipeline as a democrat. Truth is, Washington Post says she took the Keystone as her last gasp attempt to show the voters back in her home state that she still has an influence on topics in Washington D.C. Landrieu just wanted to show her voters that she still has good leadership within her, is what I think.

In my opinion, honestly this is a trending issue I can't wait to see how far McConnell will go for this pipeline. I am also looking forward to see whether or not Obama will try to exchange something to allow the pipeline happen. Hurry up January !
