One of the architects of Obamacare said the law was written in a deliberately “tortured” way and relied on the “stupidity of the American voter” to ensure its passage. In a newly unearthed 2013 clip, Jonathan Gruber, the MIT health economist who helped craft parts of the Affordable Care Act, got fairly candid about the tactics used to get the Affordable Care Act passed during a panel at the Annual Health Economists’ Conference last year.

Apparently Traitor Roberts is smarter than the average American.....
Arrogance writ large.
I'm glad Hall lost here in Texas. We don't need more liberal republicans. We have plenty, thank you.

It's the damn liberals that hold their noses and vote for liberal republicans.
Vote conservative, even if the GOP is liberal.

That would be you.

Thanks go to Ray76 for sitting through 51 minutes of that crap to find more mendacious remarks about 0bamaCare.
Gruber begins his remarks at around 14:30. His comments regarding transparency and tortuousness are at about 20:30. He makes a comment about a “time bomb” of costs rising to 17% of income at 23:15. Snarky comment about putting prozac in the water at 28:06.
Video is still rolling. I’ll post the times if anything juicy comes along.
They expect it to cost 17% of your income.
Why wasn’t this video released last week? How long has it been held back? I am sure that Ed Gillespie could have used it. Maybe even that talking turd Franken could have been tossed out. It might have swayed enough “stupid voters” to realize they had been had.
By the way, is it a punishable offense for Congress critters such as Nancy Pelosi to knowingly LIE to other members of Congress by withholding the fact Obamacare is a TAX?
I hope somebody like Hannity or O’Reilly picks this up and plays it on their program every day for a month, then announces that they’ve given Gruber a chance to come and reply, which of course he won’t - hang it around the ‘rats neck.....
Gruber is actually saying that they had to lie because the stupid American voter would have passed up this wonderful bill because they are too stupid to know what their superiors like him, decide is best for us.
if those other members of Congress hadn’t figured it out themselves, they do not belong in Congress.
How is it that the American people are stupid when 60%+ were against it before it passed? In spite of the deliberate deceptions this asshat is admitting to.
That was his point, if they would have told the truth, that 60% are all too dumb to know what is good for them. So to save us all, they had to lie.
Remember, they are Marxists and leftists. I believe them to all be a cultish bunch that are actually a cabal of the mentally ill. They are all narcissists and as arrogant as it is possible to be.
Thing is, they are so mentally ill they actually do believe what they say.
Many have taken this that thery lied because we are all too dumb to know they are lying. The truth is they are saying they had to lie because we are all too stupid to know that they are superior to us and what they do is the best for us.
I hate them.
Stay on the Job.... ;-)
I won't give up my principles of conservatism.
Others can vote for pro-abortion, or pro-amnesty, or gun-grabbing socialized medicine big government liberals, but I won't, and I'll point out those that insisted that I give up my principles.
/johnny
I know that was his point. My point is that they did lie and the American people were still against it.
Hey txre... Isn’t it 36 states that don’t have state exchanges?
Help dis ole coots memory.
The normal people that knew they were lying. The gimmes and the indoctrinated thought it was great. And who wouldn’t if other people had to pay for you care? Thing is, they aren’t going to get much care.
Hahhahaha! jokes on them...the price on us.
This whole thing is unforgivable.
Peoole should just say “screw you” to Obama and his bill. Don’t give those crooks a damn dime.
The LIE is the weapon used most often by the criminal/progressive/socialist/totalitarian/anti-truth SCUMBAG. An ace-of-spades in one of the multiple decks of domestic enemies cards.
ESAD Gruber.
I tried.
