Congressional Republicans seized Wednesday on controversial comments made by a former health-care consultant to the Obama administration, with one leading House conservative suggesting that hearings could be called in response as part of the GOP effort to dismantle the law in the next Congress and turn public opinion ahead of the 2016 election.
"We may want to have hearings on this," said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), an influential voice among GOP hardliners and a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, in an interview at the Capitol. "We shouldn't be surprised they were misleading us."

And my Tenneessee Titans are so bad this year they should just forfeit the rest of the season.
FU Coburn. Just do your damn job.
It’s also no surprise these comments came at an “academic conference.” You wouldn’t believe some of the stuff I’ve heard. A lot of the ivory tower academics are so insulated from reality and so used to being surrounded by those who share their extreme ideology that they have no compunction about spouting the unvarnished truth and some incredibly intolerant speech. But, because they’re “enlightened” and surrounded by like minds, nobody calls them on it.
My thoughts, exactly!
Why is everyone so defeatist - ergo, no need to do anything because he’ll just veto it?
Th e power of the veto is limited, else there’d be no use for the congress or Senate in the first place.
Work to get a veto-proof vote. After all, there’s many demRats who were safe this election round but will be up for reelection in 2016. O’bummer will be a non-entity. They won’t want to go the way of last weeks vote. There just may be enough to get us a veto-proof vote. What would that be? 68?
At least we should entertain the possibility, not just lay down and play rug. - geeeze.
Put Darryl Issa on it. /sarc

Second Video link to Gruber bragging about how stupid American voters are/were to pass ObozoCare.

I bet that Gruber gets on his knees every night and prays to Allah and the Supreme Court to save his lying ass and rescue him from this nightmare.
He is the ultimate stupido.
Unless the spineless wonders on the Right side of the aisle actually DO something with it, like rip Obamacare into little bitty pieces, Gruber’s statements will fade away. We’ll see what happens.
But for now, yeah, he’s probably a very unhappy fella wishing this would disappear RIGHT NOW. LOL! Bet he’s gotten some nasty phone calls from his cronies.
He is getting a fine tooth comb treatment from FNC.
3 videos now.
Yes, I’ve heard about the third one. They keep digging, they’ll find more. He’s run his mouth many times, he’s so proud of it all.
I wish I could feel some confidence the GOP would do something but I can’t seem to drum any up.
"RAT hardliners"...yeah, I'd like to see that.

We already knew that Gruber testified before Congress, shilling for Obama, without thinking he needed to mention he'd received almost $400,000 from Obama (via the HHS), and was speaking with his de facto paymaster, Peter Orszag, all through this process. While Orszag was pimping his "independent analyses" to the sleepy-headed media.
That we knew.
What we didn't know is that Congress asked HHS to disclose all of its consultants. And the HHS refused to do so.

Herr Gruber's comments and actions makes one wonder if his ancestors came over to Mass. in a U Boat at the end of WWII.
Not a single Republican senator or Congressman voted in favor of that monstrosity called Obamacare. It must be make perfectly clear that democrat Phd com man Gruber, called stupid not all the American voters, but just the democrat voters that put the Liar in Chief in the White House, in spite of his Marxist anti-American back ground, and all the Democrats legislators co-conspirators with the president and the MSM in the greatest deception against the American people in the history of the United States.
According to Obama, the MTI professor, a frequent visitor to the White House, was just an adviser. For his invaluable advise and services to the Obama administration professor Gruber received over 5.9 million dollars... Stupidity to the to nth power.
