Fox News ^

Posted on 11/11/2014 2:37:42 PM PST by Mier

ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber said that lack of transparency was a major part of getting ObamaCare passed, and that it was written in such a way as to take advantage of "the stupidity of the American voter."

When it came to obamacare passing it wasn't about any voter. We were ignored by the dems, there were enough of us screaming and shouting. We were smeared (see Tea Party)the dems and the lame stream media attempted to silence our voice and in the end pass it regardless of what any voter said! So I think the stupid voters were those dems in the House and Senate that voted for it!! Is that who Gruber is talking about?

But the smart voters came through in the midterms didn't they!

The commie lib DemocRATS call people who vote for them “STUPID”. We call them “low information voters”. I guess we’re both right.

Voters ultimately have to take responsibility for their decisions. But it doesn’t help matters when Democrats and RINOs deliberately deceive voters.

Plus it is indicative of the contempt the Left holds for the people they claim to serve. PETA’s killing of the very animals it purports to ‘save’ isn’t an anomaly.

Stupidity of the politicians thinking the people were not going to throw their sorry asses out of office.

The stupidity of anybody believing a DEMOCRAT’S promise, that is.

What bothers me the most is that the media by and large --- which have historically been protectors of the common man since before Benjamin Franklin signed the Declaration of Independence --- completely and utterly turned their backs on the People and declared fealty to liberal government. American media stabbed American people in the back, repeatedly, and with a vengeance. Franklin weeps for the nation he fought to create. We the People do too.

OBAMA’S ULTER UBRIS: “I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policy than my policy directors. I think I’m a better political director than my political director.”

“As an American I am not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name, because America gave him the White House based on the same credentials.” ~Newt Gingrich

Perfect Quote

Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a
way that you can quickly understand them. This quote
came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has
it figured out. It was translated into English from an
article in the Prague newspaper Prager Zeitungon:

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a
citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the
Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the
follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the
necessary common sense and good judgment to a
depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their
president. The problem is much deeper and far more
serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what
ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not
blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made
him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack
Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely
to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made
him their president.”

Some thoughts:

1. In a way, I feel sorry for MIT professor Gruber, because he will be sweating and losing a lot of sleep over the next 6 plus months as he waits to find out if the Supreme Court will save his arrogant ass or cook it, as it decides for or against Obama's government claim that it was an honest "typo" mistake.

2. Think about this: Do you realize that hundreds of federal bureaucrats studied every word, every comma over and over to make sure that the law said exactly what Gruber and Obama people wanted it to say?

3. "Typo" error: But now Gtuber and other Obama people are crying all over the place----like at the Supreme Court--- because they want people to believe their excuse that their "Typo" error and draft error was simply an honest mistake: They really meant to use the word "federal" where only the word "state" is written. Honest mistake my ass. They knew exactly what they were writing.

4. Imagine this about MIT Professor Gruber:

5. A Gruber student at MIT is called into his office to discuss his term paper.

6. Professor Gruber says he has some troubling questions about the paper.

7. The student tries to defend himself by saying that the "mistakes" were "typo" errors and it was a poor draft done by one of his friends who tried to help him.

8. What do you think Professor Gruber's reaction will be after he listens to all the student's excuses?

9. I tell you what arrogant Gruber will say: "Sorry son, but I don't believe you. You had plenty of time to work on you paper and correct mistakes."

10."So your grade is a big 'F'. I hope this is a lesson to you to be more careful the next time you write a paper here at prestigious MIT."
