The panel of MSNBC’s “The Cycle” agreed that the recent flurries of insulting and impolitic videos of Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber was horrible press for the law, with MSNBC reporter Alex Seitz-Wald saying it confirmed “all the worst suspicions that Republicans had” about Obamacare. Host Touré: I think that Grubergate is probably the dumbest self-inflicted wound to happen to Obamacare since the rollout of Obamacare. He calls voters dumb, and he contributes to this notion they had to be secretive in order to get this thing passed. Does this become a lasting stain on the way that people perceive this

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
What a shocker!!
Repeal!
They weren’t “suspicions” any more than knowing the sky is blue is a suspicion.
If you lie to the fbi or IRS you go to prison for 5 yeers!! I want Gruber and barrack insane obame is maximum security NOW!!
Gurgle gurgle, flip flip flip.
D’OH !!
As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron. - The Baltimore Evening Sun, 26 July 1920.
Well, there you have it.
The TEA Party had these “suspicions” long before the Republicans did.
The Dems and the media thought they could shove Grubergate under the floor but now it’s too big a fiasco for them to cover up hence the lame attempts by top Dems to deny associations with Gruber. Even the media is starting to call out the administration on this, not out of any sense of being impartial, but the realization that more of this keeps damaging Hillary in 2016.
Sounds like HL Mencken.
Prophetic.
Prophets.
Yes, it’s a lasting stain! And it’s actually what happened, not merely a perception. This doublespeak BS is so, so old. Sick of it.
They definitely were not.
In fact, as far as I can tell, the GOP think we the voters are as stupid as gruber thinks we are.
They may not be on tape saying it, but they definitely think it.
Plus, no doubt a tape of Mitt Romney saying as much will float to the surface on of these days...
