Reublican presidential candidates are blasting President Obama for rejecting the application to build the Keystone XL Pipeline.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) vowed to approve the project to transport oil sands in Canada to the Gulf Coast if he is elected president.

“President Obama’s rejection of the Keystone XL Pipeline is a huge mistake, and is the latest reminder that this administration continues to prioritize the demands of radical environmentalists over America’s energy security,” Rubio said in a statement on Friday. “When I’m president, Keystone will be approved, and President Obama’s backward energy policies will come to an end.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said in a tweet he would allow the pipeline to be built if he wins the 2016 race.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush called the president’s decision “politically motivated” and said in a tweet on Friday that it will be “a self-inflicted attack on the U.S. economy and jobs.”

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said the president is “once again stopping progress and blocking job creation” with the decision, adding in a Friday tweet that the pipeline “should be approved.”

1. Do they know about the pipeline?

Or are they just for it because the president is against it? I guess I know the answer to that one.

3. Our government just negotiated a multi-year treaty...

...with the most powerful productive nations in the eastern hemisphere without so much as a single nod in the vague, general direction of climate change. Either it's because it doesn't exist, it's not bad enough for them to REALLY worry about, or they've decided to say 'Screw You' and let us all die. I'm willing to bet it likely isn't the first two, either.

Now, which of those three options seems most likely to engender a vote from me? If you answered "None", you get a +1!
