MSNBC Reporter: Gruber Comments Confirm ‘All The Worst Suspicion Republicans Had’ About Obamacare
Daily Caller ^ | 11/17/14 | Alex Griswold

Posted on 11/17/2014 7:08:36 PM PST by Nachum

The panel of MSNBC’s “The Cycle” agreed that the recent flurries of insulting and impolitic videos of Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber was horrible press for the law, with MSNBC reporter Alex Seitz-Wald saying it confirmed “all the worst suspicions that Republicans had” about Obamacare. Host Touré: I think that Grubergate is probably the dumbest self-inflicted wound to happen to Obamacare since the rollout of Obamacare. He calls voters dumb, and he contributes to this notion they had to be secretive in order to get this thing passed. Does this become a lasting stain on the way that people perceive this

They weren’t “suspicions” any more than knowing the sky is blue is a suspicion.

What seems so obvious to us, is a revelation to many people.

gee, normally the press is really excited and happy to break scandals in the govt. guess when over 90% of the media vote for the scandal-making guys, it kind of takes the shine off of that.

media, looks like they thought you were stupid. sad thing is they were right. the ones who were not stupid were the ones you railed against for pointing all this out years ago, even before it was voted on. ie the people who were right.

media drank the obama koolaid. then went back for more.

The best they can come up with is "it was bad press”?!!

How about that it was perpetration of a fraud by Obama to circumvent the Constitutional requirements for making law? That's an impeachable offense!

The arrogance of presstitutes continues to appall me!

But it does confirm all the worst suspicions that Republicans had, everything that they’ve been saying about Obamacare, that it was passed on a platform of lies, that Democrats were not transparent in passing this bill. His words, his own words, kind of confirm all of that, so they’ll point to that, and it’s just yet another hurdle in trying to get the numbers back above water for Obamacare.

Despite incontrovertible proof that ObamaCare was passed by a congress and president that intentionally lied about everything that the bill would do to the citizens’ lives this guy is still a cheerleader for the law.

Where can I find him? I want my dog to wiz on his leg.

“Horrible press” does not begin to address the substance of what happened here. Liberals produce ample kerfuffle merely on the basis of the “seriousness of the charges,” while scarce an ink spot spills upon manifest wrongdoing. It may work for a little while longer, libbies and lobbyists, but not forever.

Leigh Bureau still has the Jonathan Gruber narrative (architect) still up on the speaker-bio page. Wonder how much he has lowered his speaking fee? Leigh even kindly has the Jan 16, 2012 video of his speech at Noblis confirming all of his spiel and his tidbit at 2:35 stating that they couldn’t (politically) take away something from 250 million people that they were HAPPY WITH (their insurance) to help 50 million, the slams on small business, the rich, employer insurance, the elderly, we don’t know what is good for us....

Jonathan Gruber

Leading Health Economist, behind both Romney’s and Obama’s reforms
Professor of Economics, MIT

A deep understanding of healthcare reform from one of its principal architects.
Biography

Jonathan Gruber is the most sought-after analyst of the costs and benefits of healthcare reform. He was a principal architect of Massachusetts’ landmark reforms, and a key adviser to the Obama administration in its creation of the Affordable Care Act. His new book, Health Care Reform: What It Is, Why It’s Necessary, How It Works, is an innovative and accessible graphic treatment of the ACA and a powerful argument for the individual mandate....blah blah blah

I’ll bet we’re right about Benghazi, voter fraud, Fast and Furious, and the global warming lies...

Will Alex Seitz-Wald of MSNBC give us those scams too?

Lordy! Lordy!

MSNBC sees the light (of truth) and they don’t like it.

It shows up MSNBC for being hypocrites for their defending Obama over Obamacare for the last 4 years.

Pelosi’s ‘We have to pass it to see what was in it’ should go down in history as one of the most stupid comments any politician has ever made. Especially because now it is difficult for her to say she did not know what was in it. Obama also knew what was in it.

Hey MSNBC’s “The Cycle” ... we’re on to this lie too!!!!

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3228130/posts

1) Through Halloween of 2014- The Global Warming Pause has lasted 18 years and one month.

2) Antarctic Sea Ice is at record levels and the Arctic ice cap has seen record growth.

3) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant it’s what you exhale and it is what “feeds” plants.

4) There is not ONE climate computer model that has accurately connected CO2 to climate change.

5) Even with the relatively high levels there is very little CO2 in the atmosphere

6) The climate models pushed by the global warming enthusiasts haven’t been right.

7) You are more likely to see the tooth fairy or a unicorn than a 97% consensus of scientists believing that there is man-made global warming.

8) I changed my mind…this past February, Patrick Moore, a Canadian ecologist, and the co-founder of Greenpeace, the militant environmental group told members of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee “

9) Back to Ice Age– predictions. When I took Earth Science in college 38 years ago, the professor explained that the scientific consensus was we are heading toward an ice age.

10) Droughts have not increased.

It is misleading and just plain incorrect to claim that disasters associated with hurricanes, tornadoes, floods or droughts have increased on climate timescales either in the United States or globally,” Professor Roger Pielke Jr. said in his testimony before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.

11) Polar Bears are alive and well and not dying out. In the Fall 2014 issue of RANGE Magazine Dr. Susan Crockford wrote,

12) No Increase In Hurricanes: A study published in the July 2012 Journal of the American Meteorological Society concluded unequivocally there is no trend of stronger or more frequent storms

I called the office of my (D) Senator today during business hours. No human to answer the phone so I spoke to the answering machine. I told it that we all have been Grubered and I hope that the Senator was as mad as I was. I hoped the Senator would introduce a bill to repeal the fraudulent ACA. I told the Senator’s voicemail that had Walmart made an offer to perform general health care functions (like they have already done with optometry), and had evidence come out that Walmart’s program was fraudulent, that I would have expected to see the Senator in front of the cameras calling for the arrest of Walmart executives. As a result of the massive fraud (far bigger than Bernie’s ponzi scheme) I hope to see the Senator call for the arrest of the people who have Grubered the American public.

The machine promised to pass my thoughts on to the Senator.
