"Cain(damn reruns) had sex/ coerced/ power sex with many women"
Unless you were there, you are a liar.

What is even sillier is Cain's alleged harassment occurred 14 years ago and the lame stream media are apoplectic about it, yet the majority of these reporters/anchors/editors couldn't have cared less about William Jefferson's indiscretions and voted for him, twice .
Obama wasted stimulus money, this is not new news. Let's move on.
I believe it's been shown in the bright light of history that Anita was a little nutty and slutty. And Nancy is no princess, more a queen of darkness.
Oil is messy, no matter where it comes from. Oil sands is fine by me if Canada is ok with it.
mchaun, talk about disconnected from reality. Like it or not "Occupies" best days are behind it, they had everyone's attention and blew it big time. Clearly anyone who matters now considers this failed movement as a nuisance.

Steve: You have a short memory. Bill Clinton exposed himself to Paula Jones. He raped that lady with the maiden name of Hickey at the Double Tree Hotel in Little Rock when he was governor.
There were a number of threats against women that wanted to speak up when Clinton was being investigated.
A classic example of conservative table-turning here, with Reid Wilson’s assertion that Mitch McConnell was justified in claiming that Obama didn’t want the Supercommittee to produce anything substantive so that he might use Republican obstructionism as a talking point in his re-election campaign. Notice the not-so-clever tactic of redirecting public criticism? In this case, of inaction by a politically motivated Republican Congress to one of a secret desire for inaction by politically motivated Democratic White House.
Here's Trillions of dollars in revenue:
#1) Right now it costs $30k to become a citizen. Charge the 20 million illegals $50k to become a citizen. They are good family people and we should include them into our society. I'm not saying open the flood gates , but for those that are here we need to stop breaking up their families and sending them home. We need to integrate them into our society and they need to learn English as a requirement which is for their own best interest. Obama can try out his health care program with them. If he can get it to work for them for 5+ years then we could consider it. This way they are no longer a burden on our health care system and will pay 100% of their own health care.
#2) More Trillions: To do deal #1, Mexico must agree to supply us all of our oil at $50 a barrel... this was the price before G. W. Bush... price would be set for 10yrs.. this will help stabilize the economy,,, lower the prices of all goods... lower manufacturing costs and the US citizens could afford gas again.
#3) Here's a real Jobs Bill that would quickly lower unemployment: $0 corporate Tax for all corporations that do 100% of their manufacturing within USA. The only products that can be bought from another country would be raw materials to make products but absolutely no manufactured products... No out sourcing of any jobs. Corporations that don't follow the strict guidelines will pay the high corporate tax they are paying now. Corporations aren't allowed to split their Company into smaller corps to avoid paying taxes on parts of their manufacturing. Money invested in foreign countries will be taxed at corporate rates, as this would stop the loop holes. Republicans should love the $0 tax and the Democrats that actually care about the people will love that we are bring home our jobs. I personally wouldn't mind paying a little higher personal taxes to make this happen.
#4) We need a highly educated workforce right now to be able to do our own manufacturing again. We need to set high standards. We should offer Citizenship to the people graduating with the skills we need now to bring back our manufacturing. Right now we do not have the people to fulfill these jobs so Corporations are having to move their companies overseas. Its a small price to keep the manufacturing here.
