For some reason, he strikes me as the kind of person who enjoys a little pain now and then.
Why did they use this story to cover up the Jonathan Gruber testimony?
In any case, I see this entire topic as a non issue.
If there's not a little pain every now and then, you're not doing it right. :)
They didn’t
To be perfectly honest, Gruber’s testimony as well as the entire hearing are both utterly without consequence.
What is the practical result of a bunch of blowhard government employees asking Gruber a bunch of angry questions?
Answer- Those same government employees will fund entirely Gruber’s beast, and no one at all will be held acocuntable for anything whatsoever.
Pointless waste of time.
It's worse than that for Dems - Americans WANT to win wars and punish terrorists. The only hand wringing is from the Leftists, like Norah O'Donnell clenching her teeth this morning interviewing the past cia chief.
See what happens when he drinks? He becomes rational.
Chrissy must have got the memo that muzzies kill homos.
Torture has always been a part of Islam and ubtil the West understands and accepts that, the enemy has the advantage1
Wouldn’t it be fair if ISIS and Al Qaida water boarded prisoners rather than beheading them? We should ask them diplomatically. In a way not to show disrespect. (I used to be proud to be an American).
You got that right. Seems all of this had been gone thru in '06 and '07. I don't understand the reason for this now.
concur.
why did Americans historically sweep Republicans into office? they are just going to give the democrats all of the money they want anyway, fulfill the democrat agendas.
sigh.
Because there is no other option outside of an Article V convention or something much worse.
Sadly I think we are at the point of something much worse.
They used this non-story to cover up the Gruber testimony7 because the left would wet their pants if the Gruber story were to get any more publicity.
Gruber gave evidence that Obamacare is a big fat lie and that most if not all top officials in the democrat party were fully aware and complicit.
No, they would not.
You know what I would have said to the endlessly blustering republican’ts asking me if I’m stupid or what did I mean when I called the voters stupid?
I would have said No, no you’re stupid because despite the obvious and admitted fraud used in passing this law, YOU ARE GOING TO VOTE TO FUND IT, EVERY LAST BIT OF IT, DESPITE THE FACT THAT YOU TOLD THE PEOPLE THAT ELECTED YOU OTHERWISE.
FURTHERMORE, YOU ARE GOING TO VOTE TO ELECT THE PERSON PUTTING TOGETHER THE BILL THAT WILL FUND IT SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, AND THERE AIN”T A DAMN THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT, BECAUSE YOU ARE A LIAR, AND IN TRUTH YOU AGREE WITH ME AND WHAT I’VE DONE.
Isn’t that the truth, Mr. Gowdy and Mr. Issa? Yes, yes it is, now please remind me which among us is stupid.
I would love to see the look on their damned lying faces if the man had had the balls to say that.
I have a lib brother who was all upset about the U.S. using “torture” against the subhumans. First, I told him only three terrorists had actually been waterboarded. And then I asked him what was worse...being waterboarded or having someone put a bullet in your skull or blown to pieces by a drone? Because if we didn’t keep them around for interrogation, we should just put a bullet through their skulls. They do the same to us.
Why did they use this story?
To cover up the Jonathan Gruber testimony.
Republican politicians are not stupid so much as they’re corrupt. Smart enough to know conservative principles work, but disloyal to those principles because they’re slaves to whoever’s double dealing with them, or blackmailing them. And in the larger picture they’re also slaves to their sin.
Don’t get me wrong—the democrat leaders are at least as corrupt as the republicans. But they’re also stupid—right on up to Gruber himself—because their intellectual and moral conclusion is that socialism is more viable than American conservatism.
