R.I.P. Republican credibility: Why their latest blatant lies show they've given up
We’ve long argued that the Republican Party is no longer a legitimate governing party. Never mind whether we agree with them on any particular policy issue, they are simply no longer a serious organization.
That fact was underscored again this week and over the weekend, in light of the release of two different official reports, one from the U.S. State Department on the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline project and another from the Congressional Budget Office on the economic outlook in light of the Affordable Care Act.
Never mind whether you agree with the Republican position on either of those two policies. The fact that the party feels it necessary to blatantly lie about what’s in each of those reports, specifically with regard to “job creation,” in order to advocate for their own policy positions, underscores yet again that these are simply not serious people are worth being taken seriously anymore …

so weve got the xl pipeline, unemployment aid being cut off, the farm bill cutting s800, 000 per year for next ten years for snap and billions in subsidies. all being lied about.
Dumbarses with zero comprehension abilities falling for them hook line and sinker, then screaming them loud and proud and whinging when called on it
its hysterical.
you would think they were part of the one percent, not working joes like everyone else.
KXL comments:
According to the Presidential Permit application, as reported in the State Dept's report, most of the oil transported through the Keystone XL would go to Gulf coast area refineries, not shipped overseas.
The increased amount of crude we would be refining received through the KXL wouldn't likely reduce our dependence on oil, but it would reduce our dependence on oil from less stable countries.
Obamacare job killing comments:
That there are people who believe any politician in the US anymore amazes me. The GOP "mischaracterized" the CBO report. That's a very nice way of saying they lied for political gain.
I seem to recall a Democrat placing a bill before the House of Representatives that all the oil going through said pipeline would be for America's consumption. This was after it was determined those refineries would transport the 'slurggy' product to foreign ports (i.e. non-USA ports). So that America picks up the grand majority of risks with no payoff. That was the Democrat's point. If America is to shoulder the risk, then America gets the profit. That bill was shot down by House Republicans.
How about we place a prison or nuclear waste plant in your backyard (as in the plot of land immediately next to yours) there DS? Same idea. The pipeline would generate a few thousand temporary jobs for a few months then be 'manned' by fifty to a hundred workers at best. But if there is any sort of accident, America pays for the clean up. I'm told that this particular oil being sent through the pipeline is a real headache to clean up.

What was really funny about the article was this line:

But when you’ve got to lie, repeatedly, about demonstrable, independently verifiable facts, then you are not a legitimate advocate that deserves to be taken seriously.
I guess the Democrat Party is no longer "a legitimate advocate that deserves to be taken seriously," either.
The Republicans want it because it serves a corporation's interests....NOT....America's. Is your first loyalty, DS to the USA or some corporation? That is one of the problems undermining the Republican/Tea Party credibility. That we Americans are not even sure where their loyalties lie. Saying your an American and BEING American are two different things. When American lives take a backseat to corporate profits, its fair to question Republicans.
