If you were the President?

[kentuck]

Would you swap a vote for the Keystone Pipeline for a vote on the Immigration bill?

Would you give the Repubs the Keystone XL if they gave you the Immigration bill?

Isn't that the way political compromise is supposed to work?

1. I would do that

It's imperative we help the millions of undocumented. So many families are imperiled by the threat of deportation.

[Prophet 451]

2. Nope, sorry

Something else, I might swap for the immigration bill. But Keystone XL would do too much environmental damage and that's something the whole world, including immigrants, would have to live with.

4. But they may be able to pass it anyway?

Once they become the majority in January. If they can get a few Democrats to go along?

[Prophet 451]

5. Hopefully, it would be vetoed.

That's assuming Obama was serious about not letting the Republicans destroy the planet like Lex Luthor.

[FSogol]

3. Yes. With the caveat that additional safety oversight/procedures be added to the

pipeline project.

[LiberalElite]

6. IOW

We'll alienate our base for a vote on _____________ if you'll alienate YOUR base for a vote on ________________.
