1. Why does our media not report these facts?

The likes of McConnell would be taken down in short order if our media would do its job.

6. Because billionaires control the media. nt

7. I know that's always the answer to that same question but is there no legal recourse? People can be

sued for slander and libel -- is there no law on the books to sue for outright lying when one is lying from a government position to line one's own pockets?

Maybe slander and libel can be expanded somehow to include lying with full knowledge that you're lying for personal gain?

Dunno. Just angry at all the blatent lying that goes unanswered in this country now.

Sigh...........

8. Billionaires own the government, too. nt

2. Don't most of them own stock in TransCanada?

3. Keystone XL benefits from taxpayer subsidies

snip

The refineries that are linked to the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline as committed shippers will receive between $1 billion and $1.8 billion in tax breaks. They are paid specifically for investing in equipment to process the heavy sour oil the pipeline promises to deliver.

The largest of these refineries, Motiva, is half owned by Saudi Refining Inc., and will receive between $680 million and $1.1 billion in U.S. taxpayer support.

Liar. The love of money drives this arrogant egomaniac because he is incapable of romantic passion. Bet he's dickless, too.

Some say he was discharged from the army because he got caught vigorously washing another GI's man parts in the shower.
