The infamous Keystone pipeline that got Romney and conservatives so upset about is now making conservatives upset, and Americans very happy. The delay in the pipeline has caused a glut of oil in the planes area, lower prices for oil across the board. It has also created an enormous problem for Mitt Romney. The company pushing this pipeline is not using our own legal system to take land that they need for this pipeline through "eminent domain". Farmers in Texas are seeing their land taken over by courts forcing them to take less money than they feel it is worth. Romney's problem is that he has already supported this pipeline, and isn't back tracking on that support. So the next time you go to the pump and pay less for gas, think about how great that Keystone pipeline will be for YOUR pocket book

I don't know. I think you can support the Detroit Lions without being a fan of Ndamukong Suh.

The problem with supporting this pipeline is that it won't do what supporters say it will. It will NOT lower prices on oil or gas, it will NOT decrease our dependency on foreign oil, it will NOT create jobs (besides the construction jobs, which we all know from the stimulus program doesn't count toward job creation). The only thing it does is allows a foreign company to use our land to transport very dangerous oil through our country so it can be either refined and exported to other countries, or just exported to other countries. Some consider this to be a positive, but what they don't understand is that the excess oil now is staying in the US driving down oil prices. Losing that supply will drive prices up higher, and what ever small amount of jobs that will be created full time will be off set many thousands of times over by the increase in oil prices. Remember that every cent oil goes up is more taxes on the average American. So if Romney is saying he won't raise taxes, and signed that pledge than he is LYING!!!

Not to mention the prices go up on everything else on anything that has to be shipped, which is pretty much everything. Another Reason not to elect Romney because he will not do much for alternative Energy unless its coal, woohoo.

We know, crossbones. Put the saddle down.
Romney hates children and don't want them to learn. He wants Americans to breathe clean air and drink dirty water. He wants everyone to be poor except those who are already rich -- he just wants them to become richer. He's also a racist and a sexist. Plus he's not very smart. And let's not forget he's a religious freak. Oh, and he fired people. That's inhumane.
We know. We just don't care. We're just like Romney. We hate kids. We hate poor people. We're EVIL! MUAHAHAHHAAAAHH!
So you can go relax now and bask in the everlasting glow of your intuition made reality.
