Just got a robocall asking me to take a pro-KXL survey
-Am I concerned that gas prices are still over $3.50 in many parts of the country?
-Am I concerned that Iran has sent their warships toward the US coast, and are threatening to cut off the world's oil supply? (Guess it's OK when we do it...)
-President Obama is considering approving the vital KXL pipeline and bringing thousands of jobs to America (OK- anyone who's been paying attention knows this last point is bullshit) but is being pressured by extremists not to approve this vital project. Can we pass on to him your support of this vital project?
News flash, robo-asshole: I am one of those extremists. Unfortunately, I could only answer 'yes' or 'no'. 'Go fuck yourself' was not an option. They probably counted me as a 'yes' anyway...
