The American Public Gets Smart

Michael Reagan / Nov 13, 2014

So Jonathan Gruber thinks the American people are stupid, does he?

Gruber is a complete nobody to most Americans, but his face should be on a Most Wanted poster in every Post Office.

He was one of the chief architects and cheerleaders for ObamaCare, aka the fraudulent Affordable Care Act that Republicans should be working overtime right now to repeal, not fix or reform.

Gruber exploded into the news cycle this week because of some things he said publicly last year about how Democrats were able to slip ObamaCare past the trusting citizenry.

In appearances in Philadelphia and St. Louis in 2013, Gruber was caught on video admitting ObamaCare passed because its architects deliberately made its funding mechanism confusing and took advantage of the "stupid" American public.

Gruber openly - and shamelessly - described the methods he and the administration's co-conspirators in Congress used.

"This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes," he admitted.

"Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the 'stupidity of the American voter' or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to getting the thing to pass."

Of course, this is exactly what conservatives have been charging for years - that ObamaCare was a liberal Big Government con game.

Gruber tried to get off the hook, claiming his comments were "off the cuff." But as he was appearing on MSNBC to apologize for his foolish honesty, a second video surfaced from 2013 in which he also called the public stupid.

Now on one point, I'll agree with Gruber.

The American public - or at least a majority of American voters - was real stupid in 2008 and especially in 2012 when it put Obama in charge of the world's most important country for eight years.

But the public can't be blamed for ObamaCare, which was all false promises and lies.

Thanks to the deceit of Democrats in Washington and the soft coverage of the Obama health plan by the friendly liberal media, ObamaCare became law before anyone knew what was really in it or what it would really cost.

But once the American public was presented with the bill for ObamaCare, they weren't so "stupid" anymore.

As they began to understand how awful Obama's healthcare reform was, and how badly they were lied to, they got pretty smart real fast.

They began throwing out the Democrat bums in the House and Senate who passed ObamaCare. Last Tuesday's election results were proof that Americans aren't as stupid as the liberals who lie to them think.

When they get the truth from their government and the media, Americans show they're a lot brighter than dishonest technocrats like Gruber.

Now it's up to Republicans to provide the kind of leadership the country needs to recover from the Obama Recession.

The GOP has less than two years to prove to the American people it's qualified and deserving of taking control of Washington.

It better get its internal act together, unclog the Reid law-jam in the Senate and rise to the challenge - starting yesterday.

If Republicans do it right, the American people will show how smart they really are by putting a conservative in the White House in 2016.

As I Read What This Jerk Had To Say, What Keep Running Through Mind, Even Skipping Once In a While... Why Am I Not Surprised, Don't You Remember Nancy (Whats-Her-Name) Pelosi or Something Saying; "I Don't Know What's In It, We'll Have To Pass It First To Find Out", WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT??? And The Reporter Never Said a Word... So What Other "Whoppers" Has Obamas "Slim-Balls" Told Us in His Name??? I Have a Terrible Feeling It'll Take Years To Find Out With a Republican and Honest Democrats (Yes There Are Some) Digging Into Obamaland Minds... Don D.

You want to repeal the ACA to find out how that is going to work out walk outside in a stiff wind, face into the wind and piss as high as you can. This will roughly approximate how successful the repeal will be.

Don,
I taught history and government for 43 years, and have been
aware of Demoncrats/Commucrats lying!! They lied to McCarthy and
McCarthy was right on target. They lied about the ACLU (the legal arm
of the Communist Party! We had Communism BEAT, but FDR sold us
down the river at Yalta, WE got shafted with the U N. and "None Dare Call IT Treason"!!! I call it treason. What the Commucrats have done
in the last 65 years is ONE BIG LIE. But, you are allowed to LIE to further the Cause of COMMUNISM!! Hence "Bat Ox's" LIES, and (IT)
(my name for that thing in OUR WHITE HOUSE)!!!

Thank you very much!!

I must agree. Repealing the ACA is a political death trap for the Republicans.

They can only repeal IF they have a viable solution of their own instead of sticking to this single minded strategy of just repealing the law based on its unpopularity alone.

I'm afraid simply repealing the law is not enough, not with this manipulative asshat of a president we have. The Republicans need to be smart if they want a chance to regain the executive branch in 2016. I won't hold my breath though seeing the party's debilitating record of ineptitude...

Well, it seems that the GOP leadership in the House has decide to take a page out of Pelosi's play book, since they now have a "must pass" bill of their own. Hey, if it works it works, no matter WHO thought of it first. :lol: :cry:

DON D.,
One thing I can tell from 43 years teaching history and government,
is that he is of the Red persuasion, fits right into the Progressive crowd whom I call Commucrats. Their way is the right way, and if you don't believe it just ask them. Their only intent is to DESTROY the country WE PATRIOTS FOUGHT FOR!!! I have studied their kind since my dad and I discussed them in 1950. IF they didn't have the RACE CARD to throw at
people they wouldn't have a party, and the CRACKER-BOX REVERENDS
JACKSON, SHARPTON, ET AL, would be selling shoes. I watched Sharpton
in that mess in Ferguson, and he was looking over his shoulder to make
sure his ugly mug would be in the picture. (And there I am front and center protecting your rights)!! I can't stand either one of them, and I know I am better at the Bible than they are! What a pair!!
