49. I only accuse those that use conservative talking points.

The conservatives want the pipeline. Their arguments are that it's going to be built anyway so might as well cross thousands of miles of America. The pipeline will create jobs.

The few jobs are not worth the environmental risk. Even if rare, the damage to water supplies of a rupture could be disastrous. And the clean up most likely would be with taxpayer money. BP didnt want to lose billions of barrels of oil into the Gulf but they didnt take the least bit of precautions to avoid it.

Almost every day we hear about the pipeline pushing Americans off their property for the goodness of the corporation.
