Related: About this forumRepublicans Rebrand Keystone Pipeline As ‘Freedom Juice Highway’
Republicans in Congress have decided to rebrand the controversial Keystone XL oil pipeline as Freedom Juice Highway.
The pipeline would take oil from Canadian tar sands and deliver it to multiple locations in the United States. Environmentalists are deeply opposed the construction of such new pipelines and Obama has vowed to veto the bill when it reaches his desk.
With a new name like Freedom Juice Highway,, it will be hard to veto, Senate Leader Mitch McConnell told The New York Times. Could anyone be against freedom? If the president doesnt vote for freedom, hell be showing his true colors.
The pipeline bill is expected to pass the House next week and delivered to Obamas desk thereafter. House Leader John Boehner said the rebranding is, A better description of what the pipeline is: freedom from the Middle East.
Ask any American, do they want Freedom Juice and do they want it in Highway form? The answer is overwhelmingly yes.
The timing is also meant to add pressure to the President, We are adding some zing to the project. Sounds like something you want going through your backyard, said Boehner.

I think it should be called the shaft ramming Koch juice into America's Midwest.
