"specific evidence please. Not rhetoric like "selling out job creation for votes from the green movement."
Aside from common sense, what do you need? You think they made a document and posted it on the net? Is there a recording somewhere? Please. Sometimes, one has to connect the dots. However, if you do a google search for "Obama pipeline Green movement", you can find plenty of stuff about this (particularly on the Hill website). I will give you this tidbit from one of the articles. Take it however you want: Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune recently said that approval of the pipeline would hurt the groups ability to mobilize members on Obamas behalf. He also warned that it would have a big impact on his groups allocation of campaign resources between congressional races and the White House contest. "So Jerry the next time a Republican politician makes a deal that a portion of the republican electorate supports, are you going to call that corrupt?" Sure. I despise them all, regardless of party. As I have stated many times. Republicans suck. They just suck less than Democrats. While I am a registered Republican, I follow Friedman's philosophy. I am a Republican with a capital 'R,' and a libertarian with a small 'l.' I have a party membership as a Republican, not because they have any principles.

As to my comments, the only validity they have are the the same validity that *anyone* posting on some random internet group has: none. "For that matter why should anyone even respect those opinions if they are based on self-admitted ignorance" They shouldn't. And they should not respect the opinons of the so called "knowledgeable" without verification, especially sense so many of the "knowledgeable" are ignorant, even with the facts. "Moreover just because someone from the political opposition has done something similar in your perception (again opinion not fact so far), that does not mean that a false equivalence is a legitimate argument." But is sure does bring the hypocrisy of other posters out, which is very enjoyable.
