Says you. The Tea Party would beg to differ.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The GOP-led House voted Tuesday to extend a special committee's investigation into the deadly 2012 attacks on an American diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including a U.S. ambassador.
The GOP are people people.
Only those four though... apparently.
The GOP have announced that their first action will be a vote to pass the Keystone measure.
The White House has said Obama will veto such a measure.
So, even though they know that their vote will be vetoed, they are going to go ahead with this. It's Quixotic at best, and yet they persist.
Just who's interests are the GOP politicians serving? Seriously?
After Benghazi, IRSgate, Fast and Furious, Obamaphones, and every other nothing event that they concocted, what is causing people to still vote for them? It's not Obama has killed anybody's sister or taken their guns, so what is the root cause of this,.... hatred?
Am I alone in thinking it can only be his race? Because, seriously, what the fuck?
He's a Democrat, they're republicans. He is (or was) popular with the people, and he makes them look bad, so they hate him. It's quite simple really.
Anyway, to answer your question, with regard to the pipeline, they're basically serving no one's interests at this point... Like literally, no one. No one in the oil industry cares about it much anymore.

The problem isn't that more people are voting for the GOP...the problem is less people are voting period and all of those old retired people with nothing better to do on a Tuesday in November will typically vote GOP. The young "motivated" voters that come out for the presidential elections don't seem to care about mid-terms.
Surely some people hate him because he's black. But those same people probably hated JFK because he was Catholic. There are always -ists out there. But SLM is right - the "big anti-Obama sentiment" is just the same old party line GOP vs. Dems. There is no rhyme or reason or sense about it - it's just a game of discrediting the other side through any means available.
Also, what MR2 said - sadly the people most motivated to vote are the fucking nut jobs. We have abortion and a black president and a separation of church and state and all sorts of other things that most of us are a-ok with. It's the fucking nut jobs that want baby Jesus hand-delivering every baby in school that get out there and vote hoping to get what they want. The sane ones who realize we're not ever going to kill campaign contributions or nail the coffin shut on religion are the ones not voting because getting up and going somewhere to push a button that doesn't actually do anything is crazy. And we're not crazy.
