I wonder why this wasn't released before the mid-term elections? [guffaw] $400,000? Isn't that what Chelsea Clinton makes for a 20 minute, off-the-cuff speech?

"At the foundation of our civil liberties lies
the principle that denies to government officials
an exceptional position before the law and which
subjects them to the same rules of conduct
that are commands to the citizen."
Justice Louis D. Brandeis

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

6 Grubergate videos so far make Nixon’s little missing tape minutes look like a sniffle in preschool.

First You Tube link to Gruber bragging about lying to stupid American Voters about ObozoCare.

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

Fourth Grubergate video from Herr Gruber re stupid Americans.

Remember zero Republicans in Congress voted for ObozoCare. Every stupid rat in Congress voted for it without reading the bill or caring what was in it.

I believe this is the first thing to come out of ABC about Gruber. Now they are in the one story club with CNN and CBS. Where is Comcrap/NBC?

[TigersEye]

Most of these videos have been out there for quite a while.

"He sparked a furor this week after video surfaced of his talking about the “stupidity” of the American people,"

It's hard to argue with him when they elect his boss twice. Of course, they can try to prove otherwise by correcting that mistake.

Can you provide a link to that? I did a lot of searching last night and couldn’t find any connection between Gruber and HillaryCare.

Thanks anything re marriage and if so, who/what he might be married to?

Pretty sad when, as a democrat, all that is required to shake up Washington is to tell the truth. That’s all he did.

[blackdog]

The guy is a mystery. He never even existed until his graduate work. He appears from nowhere. No home town. No high school. No parents. No spouse.

Nothing, nadda, zip. He's like the New England version of Barry Soeretto.

[marktwain]

Those are only the ones he was willing to be public about.

One wonders what he said when he believed he was in confidence.
