It used to be about our dependence on “foreign” oil. Right.

Yesterday, via Twitter:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler ‏@RepHartzler

Passed the Keystone Pipeline today-again. The Senate now seems interested in passing this pro-jobs bill now that a senator is in a run off. 10:58 AM – 14 Nov 2014

Was that last part a subtle (or not) political dig? Just asking.

A couple of the replies:

patrick ‏@patrick102977

@RepHartzler KPL is a ” pro jobs” bill?? isnt that like calling a armed robbery suspect ” pro law enforcement supporter” 11:35 AM – 14 Nov 2014

Good question.

Bob Yates ‏@OldDrum

@RepHartzler With the price of gas in my part of Missouri under $2.60, don’t we already have the Keystone Pipeline? 3:02 PM – 14 Nov 2014

Heh.

The tar sands have shifted – almost three years ago:

A few days ago, via Twitter:

@RepHartzler Rep. Vicky Hartzler

Outrageous! Pres. Obama has killed the 20,000 jobs Keystone Pipeline project increasing our dependence on foreign oil. 18 Jan

And this reply:

@racb33 Raymond cattaneo

@RepHartzler u do realize that the keystone was transporting FOREIGN oil, right? 20 Jan

Evidently Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) thinks her constituents don’t pay attention. She’s probably right.
