The Usual Dem suspects are at it again. POTUS has shown that he is opposed to Keystone Pipeline. Nevertheless, DINO Dems are conspiring with Republicans to write this into law over the objections of POTUS. See if you can guess which ones?
Sen Bingaman, Sen McCaskill, Sen Manchin, Sen Conrad , Sen Baucus, Sen Landreiu, Sen Nelson . Sad that it is so predictable who would dothis and weaken the President on this environmental issue when its job numbers are unclear and potential damage to the environment is clear. Bingaman wrongly asserted that Keystone polls better the more the public knows about it. Actually, there is a 25 point swing in The other direction when the facts are known unlike hearing just ads from the gas and oil industry. At first, the public favors it by 14 points, then with more info they oppose it by 11. However, Bingaman says the votes are there to pass it despite the fact that this should fall within the purview of the Executive Branch and despite the President's opposition. This won't convince republican voters to vote for them over their republican opponents. Republicans vote for republicans.
