"If you are reading that I am saying that "an individual Senator is more important than the environment," you are seriously not reading. You are not making a winning argument in this case. I am simply stating the elementary and obvious fact that we need to pick our battles. In fact, our Dems have done a great job in doing just that, and I see the corner turning on the environment. "

...I understood you perfectly. You need to re-read your initial comment, in which you stated:

"It's a choice between having the pipeline and a Dem Senator or having the pipeline and a Republican Senator."

"I'm against the pipeline. I just try to look at it with an eye to priority. It looks to me like it is not even close to important enough to justify undermining trust in our elected Dems by gigging them for their decisions on it. That strikes me as foolhardy."

You could have just said.
