He was lying to provide cover for Obama and Democrat congressmen. And they were paying him to do it. Even Gruber is smart enough not to admit that.

Thus the subterfuge about “stupid voters”. The people were not in a position to voting Obamacare. There was no referendum on Obamacare. They knew the Republican congressmen were not voting for it.

Who are the “stupid voters”, then? Why, it was the Democrat congressmen who were on the fence and need to vote to pass the bill. They needed a nice story to explain why they voted for the monstrosity that is Obamacare.

"He was lying to provide cover for Obama and Democrat congressmen."

I couldn't agree more. It took a while for all this to finally come to light.

I left out Gruber in my analysis of who was lied to and who believed the lies. Gruber didn't believe he own lies, but he did believe he was successful in pulling the wool over the eyes of the "stupid American voters". The Low Information types only heard a few sound bites based on Gruber's work, but that could've been handled by any PR on the Obama staff. You didn't need Gruber for that.

Gruber was needed for the Democrat Members of Congress; House and Senate; and for the Media. ObamaCare was crafted to minimize opposition. They learned from the HillaryCare debacle and bought off the short-sighted Pharmaceutical and Insurance Industries. Both are doomed to destruction under any national healthcare scheme.
