Well . . . wondering why the GOP keeps harping on it elicits the flip side--why do the Dems keep opposing it? So, inadvertently, it becomes a Dem, Liberal thing as well.
And the pipeline issue can't simply be put on some back shelf since the oil is at the moment being extracted, and has been for some time, and needs to be shipped somewhere, and another country, WHICH IS WILLING TO PAY FOR THE PIPELINE, is involved.
And Congress is not harping on it. It has done its job. It has approved it. And the House has been approving it over and over for some time. It is the President who refuses to sign on to the work that Congress has already done. It is not harping--the legislation is done. The President is doing the obstructing and harping.
And as for this "Don't we have other problems more pressing," if the politicians are so inept, as they well may be, that they can't do the job they are mandated to do, they should resign and let more competent people who are able to walk and chew gum at the same time handle the job.
