But redirect it to the Rust Belt, more secure, cheaper (less to build), protects the environment (no going thru conservation lands as it does now) and it'll revitalize the area's economy. As an added bonus it'll be operational in about an 1/8 of the time.

Yeah lets go with that plan. Let the people that want it have it.:D

There is also a chance the economy will get to under 5%. That is another factor that would lock up the election.

Are you capable of saying ANYTHING that isn't retarded??? Look at a map - routing it further east would make it LONGER.:p

As opposed to meandering around conservation land (the only way this will get passed) on it's way across the continent to be put out of commission by the 1st major hurricane to pass thru Texas? Ya, real smart, this is all about Big Oil folks in Texas making money and has shit to do with the economy or national security or it would be directed to northern ports.

With the year coming to an end, would anyone care to make some predictions for 2012, especially politically? Doesn't have to be political though.

A few from me:
  • I think the general election will be very close and almost unpredictable really.
  • I expect for the Eurozone problems to continue and this to be the year when major structural reforms are really looked at.
  • The Mayans will be wrong.

Mayans are wrong

Much could change between now and election time. But I do not see any Republican having a better than 35% chance of defeating Mr. Obama.

I will take those odds.

He will never do either, but I believe Obama doing the following two things would dramatically increase his odds for victory.

1) Approve the pipeline.

2) Get rid of Mr. Biden and bring on Mrs. Clinton.

Neither will occur, but doing those two items would lock up 2012 and not even make it close.

WOW! Where do you get such bizarre conclusions - that people will be eager to re-elect a president who has been such a disastrous failure! :eek:

The polls have him at around 50% vs Romney, who polls the strongest against him. Unemployment has gone down two months in a row and if it continues to get better, he will undoubtedly be competitive. Not really a bizarre conclusion, especially given that Comet game some stipulations that would help Obama's electability. Oh and he has the Chicago political machine with over a billion dollars to spend on the election.

No - We want a Morman crusader ....

Would you prefer Newt?

Looks like White men are dying to get Obama out of office. Just accept, White man can not govern anymore. They have brought economies to its knees.

Do we want to start more wars with Repugs? That is their main agenda.

This has nothing to do with white men or black men. It has nothing to do with race. I don't know how political support works in your country, but that is not how things work here.

Maybe this year, we'll see a third-party win. We will most likely be facing two really bad choices for president, and a really good candidate could come in and steal it.

Perhaps if s/he started with a voter registration campaign to get people to switch to his/her party from the other two, s/he could show that they are strong enough to win, and then actually pull it off.

I'll tell ya, I don't think the world is going to end this year, but the Mayans were sure on to something. Everything is going screwy.

I don't see a third-party doing more than spoiling an election this year. They can change the winner, but not be the winner.

A third party move does exactly one thing - causes the major party candidate who otherwise wouldn't have won to win, in this case, obama. Happened in 1992, happened in 2000.

Not necessarily- it can help someone who is going to win, win by a greater percentage too (imagine if Hilary ran- that would largely cut into Obama's vote).

Either way, I have possible prediction concerning this- independents will matter more in this election than ever before and I think the number of independents will grow moving forward.

White man quickly starts showing ownership ....

'Your country' and 'my country' :
Remember, you were born with nothing and will die with nothing.
White man is hungry for power. That is all.
No body can do anything dramatic to turn around economy. Only global forces will determine where we end up. As human, one can only do so much. Repugs supported by rich will help the rich and destroy the economy further.

Crude, dimwitted, unschooled class warfare rhetoric. :p

You are a racist and you are wrong. Your use of blanket statements makes you seem very ignorant. For example, all of the Republican party is not white, Republicans do not inherently support the rich because they are rich, both parties sell out, most politicians in every country sell out, white people do not think in some collective unit and they are not collectively "hungry for power", etc.

The worst part is that you are not even willing to listen to logical arguments here- you just want to spout your nonsense. In doing so you appear very ignorant and ironically YOU are the one that appears to be HATEFUL, RACIST, and in a sense CORRUPT, not the Republicans, Americans or anyone else as a collective unit.

Yeah, and who isn't? Everybody wants a piece of what we've created for ourselves.

And I don't blame them. Just don't start thinking you're all superior and everything just because you've been oppressed in the past. If white people and black people had their roles reversed, I highly doubt that things would have ended up differently, vis a vis slavery in America. Remember, the institution of slavery was alive and well in Africa before the Brits ever got there.

I'm not saying that that justifies what happened, I'm saying it doesn't justify reversing the situation where you and your like can trash white men for being "power hungry."

Are you anti-semitic. Remember you do not want to mess with Netanyahooo... He owns your *sses :) He directs US which country to destroy next.
The term 'White' was invented by the European race who bestows this title on itself. Why squirm when this term is used?
It is used to identify race in all job applications in US. Europeans had this illusion that they are 'White'. In reality, no one is. You can call European beige, Redneck, freckled zebra skin etc. Chinese, Japanese, and Middle Eastern race have fairer skin than Europeans but they are labelled as orientals or .... by the 'Euros' who invented this race classifications.

I was just using this term as invented by 'Euros'.
I meant 'Euros' as synonymous with 'White'.
Do not play the race card on others. Ask your forefathers why they came up with this classification who annihilated the natives of Americas.
Using abusive language does not make you logical.
Just shut up.
