Republicans push Keystone pipeline, pinning decision to payroll-tax bill

The Keystone XL pipeline on Thursday became the key pawn in a holiday-season game of political brinkmanship between congressional Republicans and President Barack Obama, with the GOP linking construction of the oilsands project to approval of White House-backed legislation extending jobless benefits and tax cuts for middle-class Americans.

House Speaker John Boehner said he would introduce a bill that would force the Obama administration to make a final decision on Keystone XL within one month, instead of waiting until early 2013 to complete a new environmental review.

Against Obama’s wishes, Republicans will attach the Keystone XL provisions to a broader economic stimulus bill that would maintain a $1,000-a-year reduction in payroll tax reductions and provide continued aid for unemployed workers.

The GOP is a bunch of fucking ass hats. This whole bipartisan bullshit is tiring and I’m not sure just how agitated people are getting in this country because of it.

This is what I’m going home to.
