Bob Schieffer also played this clip on CBS’ Face the Nation while declaring himself “dumbstruck” by Gruber’s string of insults and arrogance.

And Schieffer's a fool or a useful idiot... Democrats demean the people who work for them... even a nice old guy like Schieffer.

So, it follows directly that Kennedy was stealing from the American taxpayer . That's us.

Actually, so was Romney(RomneyCare).


Yeah, the reason RomneyCare “worked” was because about 60% of the astronomical costs of the RomneyCare system were paid for by nation wide federal taxpayer dollars from the Federal Government (ie Taxpayers from all 50 states were propping RomneyCare up.)

RomneyCare was a “success” because it shifted the costs of paying for the the Massachusetts uber generous Socialized medical system from the Massachusetts taxpayer to all taxpayers across the America

The Massholes were VERY generous with OUR money.

RomneyCare still went bankrupt due to cost over runs even with the Federal support propping it up.

The problem with ObamaCare is that there is no Galactic Space Federation to cover the cash shortfalls of the staggering costs of ObamaCare with cosmic moon cash like the Feds did for Massachusetts with American taxpayer money to pay for Massachusetts healthcare.

If Romney Care went bankrupt even with the Fed kicking in the a huge fraction of the unfunded portion of the RomneyCare healthcare mandate, how long will it take for ObamaCare to go bankrupt?

The way things are going - not long.

The reason Gruber may have been so cavalier in his comments on how America was scammed and defrauded by ObamaCare was because no matter haw badly Americans were conned by Democrats and Obama on ObamaCare, it all the ObamCare fraud pales in comparison to the ultimate fraud which Obama and the Democrats ARE keeping secret.

That secret is that ObamaCare was designed to fail from the start to create a manufactured crisis of the collapse of our health care system so the Democrats could impose full blown Single Payer Socialized Medical Care on the American people,

RE: Kennedy was stealing from the American taxpayer .

Should one speak so disrespectfully of the dead?... /s


Ted is active in government.

Just like all the rest of the members of Congress, now that Teddy is out of office and out of government and retired to a warmer climate way down South he is lobbying for the special interest organization whose interests he looking after so diligently while in office.

And he even currently resides in that special interest's unique congressional district, if you get my drift.

He received the Pope’s personal blessing in private correspondence.

Ted Kennedy was not American Catholic royalty for no reason, he had a deep, lifelong close relationship with his church and it’s Italian headquarters.

The Popes have always been there for Ted, from his first Communion by Pope Pius XII at age 7, to Pope Benedict XVI blessing him on his death bed in a letter in 2009, but he had to settle for a Cardinal to perform his first marriage and a Cardinal for his funeral.
