by keepemhonest, from Daily Kos

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.

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),

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.
