Keystone XL pipeline proposal rejected

The always vigilant folks over at DESMOGBLOG are keeping an eye on the oil shills and their propaganda campaign while debunking their claims.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Republican Congressional Committee want to make sure that no matter what your opinion of the decision, and no matter who you follow, that you won't be able to avoid their political spin.
