Washington (CNN) -- Ensuring a pre-holiday collision course with the Senate, House Republicans Friday ignored criticism from President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats and formally unveiled a bill that extends the payroll tax cut and benefits for jobless Americans, but ties those items to a provision that clears a path toward approving the Keystone XL pipeline

while the neocons are at it why dont they throw in a addition to stop online gambling all over the world.
Seriously, how could anyone in America call themselves a Repub when this is the shit they come up with to solve problems in America.
Notice how the GOP insist that any tax cut for the middle class "be fully paid for" but any tax cut to the wealthy gets put on the trickle down charge card without a peep from them.
pity really

Cain's voice is no stranger to the world of punditry. Prior to launching his bid for president, Cain worked as a conservative radio talk show host out of Atlanta and wrote a syndicated column.
While he said there's no chance he'll reemerge as a candidate, he said he still plans on maintaining a ?vocal? presence.
"What I'm doing the next several days is considering all of these options because I want to create the biggest platform for me to continue to talk about the ?trifecta?," he said, referring to his ideas to change the tax system, energy policy, and national security.
"Those are the first three I am going to be very vocal about all the way through this election and beyond," Cain added.
But Cain said he'll take his time to make an endorsement in the GOP race.
The Georgia businessman often faced criticism on the campaign trail over whether he was a serious candidate or simply seeking to amplify his name recognition and boost his media career.
He repeatedly sought to put those rumors to rest.
"I'm not doing it to get a TV show," Cain said in October at a campaign stop in Georgia. "I don't want a TV show. I don't want another book deal. I want to help save this nation.":142smilie
.................................................................
the atlanta accuser said that while having sex with Cain she was thinking about what she would buy at the grocery store.
thats deep
pity really
Cain in it for the cash, nothing more nothing less.
I outed him in the first 30 days
I am sure we will see him on Fox news soon as a announcer

Rousing Russia With a Phrase
MOSCOW ? The man most responsible for the extraordinary burst of antigovernment activism here over the past week will not speak at a rally planned for Saturday, or even attend it, because he is in prison.
An activist wearing a Vladimir Putin mask showed a magazine with an image of Alexei Navalny, the Russian blogger, during an opposition protest in St. Petersburg on Thursday.
Alexei Navaly, a Russian activist, spoke during an opposition protest in central Moscow on Monday.
Cut off from the Internet, Russia?s best-known blogger will have to wait until the next morning, when his lawyer will take him a stack of printouts telling him what happened ? whether the protest fizzled, exploded into violence or made history. At a final coordinating meeting for the protest on Friday evening, where a roomful of veteran organizers were shouting to make themselves heard, a young environmental activist turned toward the crowd, suddenly grave.
?I?d like to thank Aleksei Navalny,? she said. ?Thanks to him, specifically because of the efforts of this concrete person, tomorrow thousands of people will come out to the square. It was he who united us with the idea: all against ?the Party of Swindlers and Thieves,? ? the name Mr. Navalny coined to refer to Vladimir V. Putin?s political party, United Russia. :scared
A week ago, Mr. Navalny, 35, was famous mainly within the narrow context of Russia?s blogosphere. But after last Sunday?s parliamentary elections, he channeled accumulated anger over reported violations into street politics, calling out to ?nationalists, liberals, leftists, greens, vegetarians, Martians? via his Twitter feed (135,750 followers) and his blog (61,184) to protest.
If Saturday?s protest is as large as its organizers expect ? the city has granted a permit for 30,000 ? Mr. Navalny will be credited for mobilizing a generation of young Russians through social media, a leap much like the one that spawned Occupy Wall Street and youth uprisings across Europe this year.
The full measure of Mr. Navalny?s charisma became clear after protests on Monday night; an estimated 5,000 people materialized, making it the largest anti-Kremlin demonstration in recent memory, and Mr. Navalny was arrested on charges of resisting the police and sentenced to 15 days in prison.
...........................................................
Swindlers and thieves - sounds like why the Occupy folks are in the US massing around. We are sick of this shit. The rich fawks screwing us around for so long.
of all the arab spring uprising the most dangerous to the world is Russia
Putin cannot believe the people dont love him
Russia is the most heavy handed goverment in the world. They will shoot woman and children in the streets like dogs to maintain control.
If the young ppl in Russia are sick of it and they start protesting
watch the fawk out...........
This is going to get very ugly
They better shut down the internet and tweets immediately

The statement: The Social Security payroll tax cut that President Barack Obama is seeking to extend "will cost the Social Security trust fund another $112 billion, and we don't have enough money this year in the Social Security trust fund to put out those checks -- which means we have to go to the general Treasury to get the money." -- Republican presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann, at Saturday night's ABC News debate in Iowa. She added that the tax cut "blew a hole" in the trust fund.
The facts: The Obama administration says the Social Security payroll tax cut is projected to cost about $112 billion in the coming year. The administration says the money that would have gone to the trust fund would be made up from general revenues, with "no effect on individuals' current or future Social Security benefits."
Social Security paid out $712 billion in benefits and took in $663 billion in taxes in 2010, leaving it with a revenue shortfall of $49 billion. That's according to figures released in August by the system's trustees. But interest on its trust fund added another $117 billion, bringing the trust fund's total balance to $2.6 trillion.
Under current projections, the trust fund -- created in the 1980s to prepare for the retirement of the Baby Boom generation -- will run out in 2036, the trustees reported in May. At that point, the remaining income will pay about 77% of scheduled benefits.
The verdict: Misleading. Bachmann is correct in saying the payroll tax cut will require a transfer from the Treasury to replace the money that would have otherwise gone to the Social Security trust fund. But she's mistaken when she says there's not enough money in the trust fund to cover current benefits.
..........................................................................
How can they keep parading Bachmann out there when she is really clueless about the truth
she constantly miscommunicates which borders on out and out lies.
Is she just stupid or desperate ?
Its time for her to go.
Didnt miss Herman X at all.

Newt Gingrich is GOP?s Frankenewt
stein monster come to life
The panic of the GOP?s Washington establishment has become, well, entertaining. The conservative movement that they have designed and programmed so carefully is in the process of going rogue on them, and that rogue has a name: Newt Gingrich.
But they have brought this on themselves. He is their creation.
If you indoctrinate your members to believe that compromise equates to defeat ? if that becomes a core principle in your movement?s identity ? how can you demand they compromise by accepting Mitt Romney as their nominee? Is that not defeat on the most important decision the party can make?
If you tell them that being Republican requires obedience to every single tenet of Republican doctrine ? George Will this week noted that the party is ?more ideologically homogenous than ever in 156 years of competing for the presidency? ? how can you sell them on a candidate who is so transparently insincere in embracing that doctrine? Isn?t that a betrayal? (Gingrich is equally insincere; he?s just better at hiding it.)
And if you have nurtured your base on the red meat of anger and resentment, building an elaborate media infrastructure to generate fresh outrage to feed upon, you have prepared the way for a demagogic leader with a genius for that style of politics. With his intellectual veneer and flair for the outrageous, Gingrich doesn?t merely throw the crowd red meat, he throws them Kobe beef, broiled to perfection.
Meanwhile, Romney offers soy burgers. Go ahead, eat it. It?s good for you.
And this is the tough part: For years, you have imbued your voter base with a deep distrust of the media, the establishment and the elites, to the point that distrust is now programmed into the movement?s DNA. The harsher the media attack, the more enthusiastically the party faithful now rallies behind its target.
That trait has proved useful, producing a party base that to a large degree is immune to outside influence. But in these circumstances, what mechanisms do you use to convince the base that Gingrich would be a disaster to the party and to the country? How do you reach them? You can?t use the mainstream media, and moderate voices preaching caution from Washington simply have no impact. In fact, they confirm the false image of Gingrich as a fellow outsider.
Newt understands that dynamic very well, having helped to create it. He has made an ostentatious point of refusing to attack his fellow Republicans, saying he will not participate in a media conspiracy to divide the party. It is a wise response, perfectly attuned to the mindset of the base, and you can expect to see him offer it repeatedly in tonight?s GOP debate from Iowa.
In fact, tonight?s debate (broadcast at 9 p.m. on ABC) is likely to be the most important of the party?s two dozen or so forums, because it comes at a critical time. Unless Gingrich self-destructs, and soon, the party establishment and intelligentsia will have to spend the next few months trying to discredit him while shoving Romney down the throat of a GOP base that gags at the thought. And maybe it?s what?s left of my naivete, but I have to think that patriotism is also playing a role in that desperation. The party elite know Gingrich; they understand that proposing to put Newt in position to be president of the United States would, in its own way, be as grossly irresponsible as putting someone like Sarah Palin in that role.
They just don?t know how to convince the rest of the party of that fact, because it requires unlearning so much of what they?ve been told to believe.
