Call all 15 names.

1. agree

the American people are unaware of the truth. I think if they understood the truth, there would be no question on who would be winning.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. Names excerpted from article (and book)

the guest list that night (which was just over 15 people in total) included Republican Reps. Eric Cantor (Va.), Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), Paul Ryan (Wis.), Pete Sessions (Texas), Jeb Hensarling (Texas), Pete Hoekstra (Mich.) and Dan Lungren (Calif.), along with Republican Sens. Jim DeMint (S.C.), Jon Kyl (Ariz.), Tom Coburn (Okla.), John Ensign (Nev.) and Bob Corker (Tenn.). The non-lawmakers present included Newt Gingrich, several years removed from his presidential campaign, and Frank Luntz, the long-time Republican wordsmith.

7. Is there a link to the source or the 15 other names?

<snip>
In his book, Draper opens with the heady atmosphere in Washington on the days running up to the inauguration and the day itself, which attracted 1.8 million to the mall to witness Obama being sworn in as America's first black president.

Those numbers contributed to a growing sense of unease among Republicans as much the defeat in the White House race the previous November. The 15 Republicans were in a sombre mood as they gathered at the Caucus Room in Washington, an upscale restaurant where a New York strip steak costs $51.

Attending the dinner were House members Eric Cantor, Jeb Hensarling, Pete Hoekstra, Dan Lungren, Kevin McCarthy, Paul Ryan and Pete Sessions. From the Senate were Tom Coburn, Bob Corker, Jim DeMint, John Ensign and Jon Kyl. Others present were former House Speaker and future – and failed – presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and the Republican strategist Frank Luntz, who organised the dinner and sent out the invitations.

8. Yep. These 15 Would Sacrifice America For Their Own Agenda.

[RC]

9. I just love these low/no information Opening Posts.

What is the source? Who are these 15 others. How do we know this is true? How do you know this. Lots of people were busy on inauguration night.
Repeating this without any kind of source or proof make us no better a reality challenged Tea-bagger making up shit.

We are not the Borg. Most of the rest of us can't read the mind of the collective.

Who, what, when, where... What?

[Arkana]

12. It's not an invention of DU fanatics:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/25/robert-draper-anti-obama-campaign_n_1452899.html

Ryan, Eric Cantor, John Boehner, Tom Coburn, and Newt Gingrich were all members of the Felonious Fifteen.

[EC]

15. Where have you been?

This has been known for quite a while now. Do we have to source old information forever or what?

[malaise]

28. Well said

We've been all over this for months - and so was Sharpton

[heaven05]

16. It's fact!!!!!!!!

do your own research you don't believe it? where are your facts that it didn't. How can you miss the facts of the Repiglican obstructionism of the last four years to EVERYTHING promised by our President

[RC]

20. The OP should have enough information so that most people reading it know what is being talked about

Also DU is big on links and sources. It's just expected. Both are missing. So is the list of 15 needed to nail down the subject of the OP. There are so many list of idiots, Blue Dogs, Tea-baggers, 3rd way, whatever, it is hard to keep track of who is on anybody's particular list du jour.

[xtraxritical]

17. I think RC is right. Who, what, when, where, why - is that too much to ask?

[malaise]

23. We've been posting about this for months n/t

[eShirl]

33. then a link in the OP to one or more of the previous posts is in order

[RC]

35. How could the average DU'er tell from your OP?

You may know, your group, friends, etc. may know, but not all members are interested in or pay attention to the same things.

Ever read a newspaper? The first paragraph or so, always has what the article is about. That is what was missing from your OP.

[riderinthestorm]

26. +1. Couldn't have said it better. Its even worse when the OP's referencing a teevee bit

that they're assuming everyone else must be watching and its like "oh my gawd! Did you just SEE the expression on her face??" without any context or link.

Grrrr.

[Son of Gob]

32. I love it when people don't read past the first post

and want answers that have already been posted a few posts below the OP. Too lazy to read the thread but have time to type a mouth frothing rant asking for info that's already been supplied. No better than a reality challenged Tea-bagger indeed.

34. Other poster should not have to fill in the basic information the OP neglected!

10. RNC Bizzaro World

Ryan Hood swings onto a branch, "Welcome to Kochwood Forrest!"

Ryan Hood teams with the Sheriff of Romneyham to steal and plunder from the poor and aged and give to the rich.

11. ...

[RC]

21. Thank you

That is the information missing from the OP.
A couple of sentences and copy and paste of the list, would have done wonders for the OP.

[malaise]

24. That's fabulous

Thanks

[progressivebydesign]

13. But Mitt said that Americans "come together" after an election? Did he mean like that?

Did he mean the republicans come together after a Democrat is elected, to figure out ways to undermine him and make America fail? I think that's what he meant.

[malaise]

29. Yah think?

[DippyDem]

14. Yup..who can forget the GOP that devolved into the stupid party of NO

fuck the GOP the FAIL party

[Festivito]

18. "the middle of an economic crisis" ... THEY CREATED! /nt

[renie408]

19. Can I get a link?? n/t

[malaise]

25. Sure

[MatthewStLouis]

27. Is Mitch McConnell one of those?

There is video of Mr. Turtle clearly stating that his number one priority was to "make Obama a one term president". Not to help create jobs or turn around the economy. Just to simply Obstruct.

What SOBs!

[malaise]

30. True but he wasn't at the original plotting meeting

They are all treasonous scumbags

[Hamlette]

31. Almost exactly what happened to Clinton

in The Hunting of the President Lyons and Conason talk about the "elves" A group of republicans, including Ted Olson, who met "within a few weeks of the election", they didn't even wait until the inauguration, and decided to figure out a way to impeach Clinton. Before he was even sworn in. I guess in 2008 they figured they might wear out the impeachment tactic so found another one.

These people really are destructive to our way of life and I bet they think the same of us. We all need counseling. Know of a good shrink?
