uh... ok robert draper is putting out a book that is called do not ask what good
we do inside the u_s_ house of representatives and in this he talks
about this four-hour invitation only meeting that took place with a bunch of
republican if elected officials and the g_o_p_'s propaganda minister frank luntz
the good doctor frank once you're familiar with him louis yes
basically what happened here
sabotage or as um... uh...
what's his name
uh... shatner as lewis at it like to say seven package
people twenty-seventh has to be american economy and now who was on the guest
list will
newt gingrich was their but also we had called ryan their eric cantor pete
sessions jim demand jon kyl tom coburn john ensign bob corker a lot of these
relatively prominent republican elected officials okay and the plan here was to
discuss
bringing congress to a complete standstill regardless of how much it
would hurt the american economy uh... regardless of how much it would hurt
the middle class
regardless of how much it would hurt
boaters
simply to obstruct and block president obama on all legislation that they can
we didn't really need more evidence that this was what was being discussed among
republicans
but a free have it might as well discuss that i'm not surprised at all
okay now
is is their anyway
is there anyway to be doing this for the due to the country now im i'm really
china grasping something here
but what let's say that
the idea behind this was that we have to make sure obama fails
so that we can actually do some good and have a republican in office next timex
election right but the problem is it's a self-fulfilling prophecy because they
are causing him to quote fail
by simply obstructing all of the different bills that would help the
american economy
so make sure he fails by
literally making the country fail
no question about and then we thought few months after this covert meeting
where there was this planet sabotage
in march of two thousand nine dot congressman pete sessions so that that
republicans should be following the model
of the taliban
in its battles against president obama this is incredible
he said in an interview with the national journal
calleb 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 process
and these taliban is an example of how you go about the change a person book
strange strange grammar
but the change of person from their message into their operations their
front-line message we need to understand
that the insurgency may be required when dealing with the other side if they
referring to democrats do not give us those options are opportunities we will
become the insurgency i think an insurgency mindset and attitude is one
we're going to have to search for and find ways to get our message out
incredible republican suggesting
taliban mechanisms yes to fight against president a-bomb of course socially at
the the taliban references already been made
with the people we're talking about of course not by themselves by right by
their opponents but uh...
apparently they're all about it incredible so if you needed it yet more
evidence that republicans want to see the economy fails then pick up unseat
president obama
we have it here uh... in this new book
and it is is disturbing but i'm glad robert draper is writing about this
for a few more days the networks nation membership specialist going on state
