    Apocolypse: You have been called out before in this forum for totally misleading people with statements like the one I bolded.

    Go ahead. Back it up. show the vote with 60%...

    go ahead.

    Your statements are total lies, completely misleading. Its why I suggested you get a job with Rush Limbaugh.

    Seems like it's actually just 47 percent that opposed the pipeline ; 64 percent just wanted tougher environmental regulations :

    Search for the word percent and you'll have your answer .

    That is a great article Apocolypse.

    It shows how when grass roots citizens were exposed to the combination of a GOP state dominated legislature and big oil the people were revolted by the conspiracy Republicans and Democrats alike.

    I was intrigued by the

    Ultimately the legislature, 2/3 Republican voted Unanimously to prohibit the pipeline from running right through the heart of the Aquifier. Then they walked the bill to the Republican Governor. Then the Pipeline company after years of saying they would never move the pipeline immediately agree to relocate it.

    Really great article you cited: Did you read it. Excerpts from the article include:

    and this one seems to get birthright republicans shook up with the current extremist GOP powers and big business:

    Really great stuff about registered Republicans astounded by this conspiracy:

    Even more enlightening: The above person got more conservatives to agree with her to oppose the pipeline:

    The pipeline company and the issue pissed this republican off so much....well read what he has to say.....

    It appears all that heavy handed oil industry stuff backed by National GOP extremists created the exact opposit of what the GOP favors:
    Really great article.

    Hopefully you will turn up more like that. :D

    So much esteem , grassroots , unity and conspiracies .... yet 53% half the people don't give a fuck . That's the way the elections will turn out as well .

    This is a fantastic article, first sourced by Apocolypse.

    Read it in its entirety. It describes in great detail how a generally Republican population has become entirely disillusioned and unhappy with the tandem workings of a GOP dominated political force and a representative of big oil, in this case the Transcanadian Pipeline: http://www.thenation.com/article/165975/transpartisan-politics-plains

    People were misled. The pipeline company bullied and threatened landowners. It was stubborn for several years. It wouldn't relocate the pipeline. Over time as people were exposed to the project they rejected and resented it.

    Now Nebraskans, who generally vote Republican don't even trust their own representatives.

    Great story!!!!
