Reality disconnect

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/new-post-abc-news-poll-keystone-xl-project-overwhelmingly-favored-by-americans/2014/03/06/d74c58c6-a4a1-11e3-a5fa-55f0c77bf39c_story.html

"Americans support the idea of constructing the Keystone XL oil pipeline between Canada and the United States by a nearly 3 to 1 margin, with 65 percent saying it should be approved and 22 percent opposed, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

The findings also show that the public thinks the massive project, which aims to ship 830,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta and the northern Great Plains to refineries on the Gulf Coast, will produce significant economic benefits. Eighty-five percent say the pipeline would create a significant number of jobs, with 62 percent saying they “strongly” believed that to be the case.............A recent State Department assessment said the project would create 1,950 jobs for a two-year period, after which it would generate 50 permanent jobs.........."




Give me your money. Wait here. I'll be right back...................

Tell me again there isn't an organized campaign of disinformation being used on us.

When polls say what you want them to say and you agree with them... polls are the greatest thing since sliced bread.

When they don't... not so much.

The polls SAY that B.O. *****, but I personally don't believe them. I think he's awesome and has done an absolutely STELLAR, out of this WORLD, job while in office!

(facetious)

He ***** ballz;-)

Easy to slant polls by just the questions asked.

Are the 'jobs' it may provide those for repairing environmental disaster ?
And this oil is intended for export, not for domestic use !

BTW: I don't believe the poll. Certainly nobody asked me. It's easy to slant polls the way you want them to be by where you target the participants.

Think it will produce more jobs then the "shovel ready" jobs that Obama promised.

When it works in your favor and it's something you agree with, you're "all aboard!"

When it's something you disagree with, it's disinformation and a "reality disconnect".

Funny how that works...
