Showing Original Post only (View all)Majority of Americans, Democrats even, support Keystone! Are they just making shit up now? [View all]
The polls, where the lying corporate media keeps telling us what we believe....what evidence do we have that they are not just making up their own polls with their own talking points in order to manufacture consent for their own issues?
These asshole republicans are up there telling us we all support them, because of the (freaking phony election) and their stupid ass corporate media whores keep repeating the same bullshit.
Who in American was demanding that this Keystone pipeline get built? That was what everyone was voting for?
Who wants these bullshit trade agreements,
or even the stupid ass immigration bill?
Show me one politician who is actually presenting legislation that the American people want, have asked for, and will actually help US?
How far have we fallen that we don't even expect them to do anything to help Americans anymore?
We have record homeless starving children while Congress just had to cut off 8 Billion if food stamps.
Meanwhile Congress feels so much compassion for Iraq we must spend $25 Billion per year to bomb them.
Can't let people out of prison because they are firefighters "During the past four decades, the U.S. prison population has quadrupled even as the crime rate has dropped. We have some 2.4 million people behind bars, far more than any other country, costing about $80 billion a year to maintain."
Seriously what the fuck is Congress doing?
Why do we accept this?

OP
I'd be shocked if more than 1 in 100 US citizens even know what the Keystone XL Pipeline is.

Most Americans are ignorant morons who think the pipeline will make gas cheaper.

Is the corporate media also lying when the polls support ideas and positions you like?

Judging from comments I've read in the NY Times' coverage of the vote . . .

Pew did a poll in May showing broad support for the pipeline even among Democrats.
