It’s Time For Leftist Gruber Truthers To Give It A Rest

Jonathan Gruber was a key architect of Obamacare who was intimately involved in the drafting of the legislation.

That is a fact. It is not arguable. It is not assailable. It is backed up by overwhelming contemporaneous evidence long before Gruber became a controversial figure whose loose lips threatened to sink the Obamacare ship. And the people who pimped Gruber as the all-knowing health care savior who single-handedly built the model that guaranteed a future of health care glory were not Obamacare’s critics. They were its most ardent proponents.

Gruber’s numerous video-taped remarks have caused enormous problems for the pro-Obamacare left. Enormous. And the problems are directly related to the lawsuits challenging the validity of an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rule that says patients in states without state health care exchanges are eligible to receive federal subsidies to offset the obscene costs of their health insurance plans. The text of the Affordable Care Act repeatedly states that federal subsidies may only flow to those who purchase their plans from an exchange “established by the State” as opposed to one established by the federal government.

Unfortunately for the Obama administration, states weren’t all that keen on the whole state exchange idea. So most of them balked. And when it became clear that states would not do Obama’s dirty work in establishing their own exchanges, the IRS came to the rescue and promulgated a rule stating that federal subsidies would be available to everyone.

It’s Time For Leftist Gruber Truthers To Give It A Rest

Give it a rest?

I disagree. Let Gruber and the rest of these useful idiots keep on lying and denying. Its the best weapon we have had - just handed to us - against ObamaCare in a long time.

[Organic Panic]

Hang the Gruber albatross on every wingle thing that comes out of DC. Every one of those aholes, dem and rep, needs to declare what lies are in the bills they are bringing to the floor.

[DesertRhino]

Flak,, Target

[The Antiyuppie]

Oh, I think that they need to keep their evil lies on display and in the news for as long as possible. And, this goes far beyond ObamaCare.

[healy61]

Gruber-truther! I like the sound of it. Sounds better that Shicklegruber.

[HandyDandy]

Bunch ‘o gruberphobes.

[wastoute]

It was the libtards that supported Klown Care that Gruber lied to. We knew he was lying right along.

Not a single Republican senator or Congressman voted in favor of that monstrosity called Obamacare. It must be make perfectly clear that democrat Phd com man Gruber, called stupid not all the American voters, but just the democrat voters that put the “Liar in Chief” in the White House, in spite of his Marxist anti-American back ground, and all the Democrats legislators co-conspirators with the president and the MSM in the greatest deception against the American people in the history of the United States.

According to Obama, the MTI professor, a frequent visitor to the White House, was just an adviser. For his “invaluable advise and services” to the Obama administration professor Gruber received over 5.9 million dollars... Stupidity and corruption to the to nth power.
