This attitude that government is better at making decisions than you are because you are too stupid to know what is good for you is a hallmark of patronizing, arrogant and condescending liberalism.

Gruber was paid $400,000 to spin his web of lies, and he even lied about being paid for his lies.

Also, he visited the White House a dozen times, which was more often than the head of the CIA, so President Obola will not be able to disconnect himself from the scandal.

The problem is too many voters tune in and read only those people who tend to reinforce views they already hold. It isn't that voters are "stupid."

Isn't that synonymous with "stupid"?

If Americans would have bee bright enough they would not have voted for all those socialist scoundrels including the anointed one, not only once but over and over. So it begs and invites the conclusion that there is an over abundance of fools which are easily deceived and lied to and will swallow hook line and sinker what ever is fed to them.

So if you happen to have an unethical leadership the temptation for them is just too great not to take this route of dceit and lies. And apparently it worked.

As most folks with triple-digit IQs have figured out, it is only those who voted for the Kenyan anti-Christ who Gruber is calling stupid, as they were the ones who were fooled by the lies of the anti-Christ and its minions, like Gruber. But we already knew that, too.

Just a bit of critique:

GOP needs to explain what a “CBO Score” means (AKA: How much the public pays to enact and perpetuate the law).

LIVs see/hear “CBO Score” and (by design) don’t realize that it means they give their money to the government.

Yet, this “brilliant genius” allows himself to be videotaped MULTIPLE times, insulting the American people and telling the truth about how his party rooked the Country, regarding his master’s signature legislation...

So... who’s stupid now???

Gruber was paid $400,000 tax dollars to spin his web of lies....pretending to be a disinterested, "objective" participant..... then lied about being paid for his lies.

Even more pertinent is the huge billion dollar slush fund Gruber hid from "stupid" Americans in Obamacare.

<><> Where is all that money going?

<><> Was cashing-in the incentive in getting the thing passed?

=========================================

The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, Democrats slavishly voted for Obamacare by an historic straignt-party line vote. But not one Democrat told Americans about Obamacare's Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation).

THE PAYOFF--WHO GETS THE MONEY? In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion, and, in 2015 and on, $2 billion

==================================================

Taxpayers demand to know ---- why Gruber/Obama/Pelosi didnt reveal that Obamacare contains a multi-billion dollar slush fund? Exactly who is cashing in?

As Travis posted: Gruber visited the White House a dozen times (more than the head of the CIA). President Obola cannot spin himself out of the scandal.

The sound of wire-transfers to offshore banks is almost palbable.

Democrats need to be constantly asked: "When you voted a straight
party line vote for Obamacare, did you know you were voting for:

(1) throwing Americans off affordable health plans,

(2) nationalizing 1/6 of the US economy,

3) installing IPAB's (healthcare rationing---death panels),

(4) decimating intergenerational transfers of wealth (grandma/pa's holdings go to the govt---not to Americans),

(5) pulling $750 billion out of Medicare,

(6) drug-rationing---death panels,

(8) abandoning seniors and the chronically ill,

(9) forcing healthy young Americans to subsidize healthcare for the elderly.

=====================================================

REMINDER When Dummycrats had the chance to help Americans hang onto affordable care, they voted AGAINST Sen Mike Enzi's 2010 bill which helped Americans keep their existing plans.

==============================================

Ooops, there goes another dozen Democrats down the drain.

I feel Dr. Gruber has slandered me in public and I plan to sue for damages in my local court here in backwoods Tennessee, with a non Obama appointed judge.

We call the “stupid” voters, low information voters. It is a difference of responsibility. The voters aren’t so much stupid as lazy.

Democrats like their voters both stupid and lazy. That’s why they are pushing the legalization of marijuana.
