I am truly surprised no one in the media is reporting that on January 20, 2009 the possible future Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, along with 12 other Republican Leaders in Congress, GOP Hate-Propaganda Minister Frank Luntz, and failed presidential candidate Newt Gingrich - literally plotted to sabotage and undermine U.S. Economy during President Obama's Inauguration in hopes of making him a one-term President.
Recall, According to Bureau of Labor, in January 2009, when President Obama was sworn in, the country lost 818,000 jobs. And, in the months leading up to January 2009, the United States was consistently losing over 700,000 jobs per month, yet these GOP assholes still plotted to do further damage to America and plotted to sabotage our economy.
Here are the Facts:
FACT 1. In Robert Draper's book, "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives" Draper wrote that on inauguration night, 2009, during a four hour, "invitation only" meeting, the below listed Senior GOP Law Writers literally plotted to sabotage, undermine and destroy America's Economy.
The Guest List:
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 - Failed GOP candidate for President
Fact 2: Three days ago, ABC news
reported that: Kevin McCarthy, Paul Ryan and Jeb Hensarling are on the "short list" to become next Speaker of the House.
As Republicans start to jockey for position, several senior members of the conference jump out as immediate contenders, but none more so than Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy.
...
[Paul] Ryan, of Wisconsin, would also make a strong contender for speaker, although after Boehner announced his intent to retire at the end of next month, he quickly made clear that he doesn’t intend to wade into the leadership battle.
...
Another lawmaker with an outside possibility to ascend to the speaker’s chair is Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas, the chairman of the House Financial Services committee.
Notice the only three guys on ABC's "short list" are three men who literally plotted to sabotage the US Economy for political gain - Disgusting.
And I have not seen one single media outlet remind The People of that fact- negligent, media malpractice.
So I'd like to know:
1) Why are media outlets continuing to prop-up these vile men when they literally plotted, in secret, to undermine American families solely for political gain?
2) Why are no media outlets demanding each one of these GOP leaders explain their involvement of plotting to undermine the US Economy?
3) Why the hell would anyone want either McCarthy, Ryan or Hensarling to be Speaker of the House when they literally plotted to sabotage the US economy at a time when America was losing over 700,000 jobs per month?
FACT 3: Newt Gingrich confirms meeting took place in an interview with Al Sharpton's Politics Nation on June 12, 2012
SHARPTON: In fact, let`s go to a book that Mr. Draper wrote about the night of the inauguration. There was a meeting at a hotel near the inaugural ball, about a mile away ... He writes about that night the plan was to show united and unyielding
opposition to the president`s economic policies ... And Draper writes that you told the group -- you, Newt Gingrich, "You will remember this day...you will remember this day the seeds of 2012 were sown."
If there was a commitment from day one, before he ever took a seat
behind the desk of the Oval Office, that everyone was going to obstruct
him, then what he`s done has been almost unbelievable, against those kind
of odds, Speaker Gingrich.
NEWT: The first is, it was an important meeting and I was glad and honored to be part of it ... I said to Callista when we left the wall -- because we were at the Capitol for the inaugural. As we left, I said, you know, if he sticks to the kind of moderation and bipartisanship he`s been describing, he will split the Republican Party. He`ll govern like Eisenhower and he`ll get reelected. Now this is -- this is the inaugural day.
SHARPTON: I`m glad you admit you had it.
FACT 4: Two months after a future Speaker of the House plotted to sabotage the US Economy, March 2009, Rep. Pete Sessions said Republicans should follow the model of the Taliban in its battles against President Obama.
In the March 2009 interview with National Journal Rep Sessions said:
PETE SESSIONS: "Taliban Insurgency, we understand perhaps a little bit more because of the Taliban. Insurgency is the way they went about systematically understanding how to disrupt and change a person's entire processes. And these Taliban -- is an example of how you go about to change a person from their messaging to their operations to their frontline message. And we need to understand that Insurgency may be required when [dealing with] the other side"
~Rep Pete Sessions, March 2009 to National Journal
Rep Pete Sessions went on to say:
PETE SESSIONS: "If they [democrats] do not give us those options or opportunities then we will then become Insurgency ... I think Insurgency is a mindset and an attitude that we're going to have to search for and find ways to get our message out and to be prepared to see things for what they are, rather than trying to do something about them"
FACT 5: Also, at the January 20, 2009 meeting they plotted to
suddenly stop supporting any Stimulus Legislation, even though, they
all supported Bush/Cheney Stimulus legislation. At the meeting,
Rep Kevin McCarthy said
KEVIN McCARTHY: "We've gotta challenge them on every single bill. Show united and unyielding opposition to the president’s economic policies."
~Kevin McCarthy January 20, 2009 in Secret Meeting
FACT 6: Remember, these same Republican members of Congress supported the very Bush/Cheney policies that caused America to teeter on the brink of the 2nd Great Depression and caused the 2007 US Economic Meltdown.
Here's how they all voted:
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney January 2008 Stimulus
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney bailing out Bear Stern
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney bailing out AIG
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney TARP (sept 2008)
-- "Yes" to Bush/Cheney TARP (oct 2008)
And these same Republican members of Congress:
Supported Bush/Cheney keeping cost of two wars out of the Budget.
Supported Bush/Cheney spending $4Trillion while giving Top 1% Tax Cuts; ignoring the fact that taxes pay for wars.
Not only did these Senior members of Congress plot to destroy the American Economy more than it already was destroyed? They actually carried out their mission:
Every one of these Senior members of Congress have threatened Government Shutdown over things like:
- Funding planned parenthood,
- Raising the Debt Ceiling which, in-and-of-itself, would cause US Economic turmoil.
FACT 7: During the Debt Ceiling negotiations, Eric Cantor and Sen. Jon Kyl abruptly walked out of negotiations and refused to renew discussions with Democrats.
As a result, America's credit rating was lowered which put a smile on Republican's faces.
FACT 8: Meanwhile, the 2009 Sabotage the U.S. Economy covert meeting members, Senator Bob Corker, and then-Senators: Jim DeMint, Jon Kyl, Tom Coburn, John Ensign:
- Filibustered more Bills (over 300) than any Congress combined in US History.
- Voted NO on every single piece of Legislation brought to the Floor including:
NO on Al Franken's Anti-Rape Amendment,
NO on Lilly Ledbetter,
NO on Fair Pay Act,
NO on Anti-Outsourcing Bill (2010)
FACT 9: The House members who attended the 2009 Sabotage America meeting have been busy rejecting legislation that helps victims of natural disaster.
Representatives: Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, Jeb Hensarling, as well as other House members who attended the cover meeting voted NO on every single piece of Legislation including:
NO on increasing FEMA during natural disasters.
FACT 10: Kevin McCarthy, Paul Ryan, Hensarling, and these other same failed Congressmen have been on tv constantly chanting the lie that they were guilty of ... the lie that "President Obama's policies undermine the US Economy."
FACT 11: Other Legislation used to sabotage US Economy
Kevin McCarthy and the Republicans in Congress refused to negotiate or even discuss passing President Obama's American Jobs Act that independent economists claim would create 1.3 million new jobs.
Gawd forbid Kevin McCarthy, Paul Ryan or Hensarling support an actual Bill that would put people to work building needed infrastructure and provide funds to pay to rehire hundreds of thousands of teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public service workers that have been laid off in droves by cash-starved states.
FACT 12: A future Speaker of the House: McCarthy, Ryan, Hensarling, and all other Republicans blocked President Obama's 2012 Anti-Outsourcing Bill - which is a Bill to discourage the outsourcing of American jobs. Naturally, journalists in India celebrated GOP efforts to undermine American Workers.
FACT 13: The Washington Post reported that Republicans have made it clear that the Federal Reserve would face fierce Republican criticism if it takes further actions to stimulate the economy before the election. The Washington Post wrote that,
Republicans... have expressed deep concern about measures taken by the Fed to support the economy -- and could be doubly upset if new efforts goose the stock market and are perceived to work in favor of President Obama's re-election.
Bottom Line: The media has failed ... completely failed ... to acknowledge and report that on January 20, 2009, before President Obama ever took a seat behind the desk of the Oval Office, a future Speaker of the House, (2 heartbeats away from the President) Kevin McCarthy, Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor & other GOP Leaders literally plotted to sabotage the U.S Economy by obstructing 'the People's' work.
The People should be told the facts about that 4 hour covert meeting so the next time they know the GOP motives when they hear the GOP leaders bitch & moan & spew their BS propaganda -- talking points.
On January 20, 2009, House GOP Leaders & GOP Senators showed they have contempt for American families when they plotted against those American families. It will truly be a god-damn shame if voters are not told of what GOP Leaders did at that 4 hour covert meeting on January 20, 2009. All voters should see the depth the GOP will go in order to screw the American workers and f'ck over America in general.
