“If we don’t win this battle today, we’ll attach [the legislation] to another bill and win the war.” — North Dakota GOP Sen. John Hoeven
This quote is in regards to a vote on a bill to approve the Keystone pipeline. Why don’t I believe him? Because Republicans just finished a “battle” to stop Obama’s immigration actions and not only did they lose, but they gave up. The language was tied to a Homeland Security funding bill and they gave up. The immigration actions relate directly to homeland security AND the department would have continued to operate without approved funding, but they still decided to give up. That is why I have absolutely no faith I the Republicans to pass the Keystone bill.
