Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan & Kevin McCarthy: Plot To Sabotage US Economy with Frank Luntz
by keepemhonest
On January 20, 2009 Republican Leaders in Congress literally plotted to sabotage and undermine U.S. Economy during President Obama's Inauguration.
In Robert Draper's book, "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives" Draper wrote that during a four hour, "invitation only" meeting with GOP Hate-Propaganda Minister, Frank Luntz, the below listed Senior GOP Law Writers literally plotted to sabotage, undermine and destroy America's Economy.
Frank Luntz - GOP Minister of Propaganda
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)
Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA)
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA),
Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX),
Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX),
Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-MI)
Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA),
Sen. Jim DeMint (SC-R),
Sen. Jon Kyl (AZ-R),
Sen. Tom Coburn (OK-R),
Sen. John Ensign (NV-R) and
Sen. Bob Corker (TN-R).
Non-lawmakers present Newt Gingrich
During the four hour meeting:
The senior GOP members plotted to bring Congress to a standstill regardless how much it would hurt the American Economy by pledging to obstruct and block President Obama on all legislation.
These Republican members of Congress were not simply airing their complaints regarding the other party's political platform for four long hours. No, these Republican Congressional Policymakers, who were elected to do 'the People's work' were literally plotting to sabotage, undermine and destroy the U.S. Economy.

They should be charged and tried. Oh yeah, Eric Holder is the Attorney General. I guess we'll have to plant some weed on them.
And they'll get away with it because media deregulation means the MSM will look the other way. IOKIYAR "It's OK If You're a Republican"
I'm so sick of this stuff. Something has got to give.

See how that works? Frank Luntz is one of the most dangerous Republicans in 21st century politics. Though I wrote the above myself, it shows how Luntz can convince typical Fox viewer Joe Moran that it would be bad for the president to reverse a failed Bush economy.

(92 posts)To those who want everything to be simple & easy, here's my response.
Do not spend any money in Republican business or with their supporters.
I have ostracized Republicans from my life.
It's nice to have that anger & hate out of my life.
Now that's change!
I'm sure there are those that can find excuses to not take these actions.

(1,005 posts)They are both smart people who know how to get things done in the political theater. Dean operates in an upfront, honorable way with noble intentions. Rove in a secretive, dishonest way with concern only for the 1%. And, if anyone has the best chance to defeat Rove's agenda, it would be Howard Dean. The great job he did with his 50 state strategy is the basis for my opinion. Whether or not he could succeed again will remain a mystery as he seems to be out of favor with the DNC.

The Corporate Megalomaniacs who've usurped our media, our politics, and our global economy are laughing all the way to their banks, because their divisive game is working wonderfully well to keep the Hoi Polloi bickering amongst ourselves.

(59 posts)Bush wrecked the country soooo bad, the US was willing to elect a black man with the middle name Hussian president.....
They knew if he was perceived to be doing a good job and cleaning up the GOP mess, who would ever want to vote for them again???
The only way to get back was to say "We know we messed up, but look at him"...
Which is exactly what they did...
Sabotage him and at the same time blame him for the mess they created....
People in this country are truly dumb....
