some were stupid to truly believe them.
others were such newbies they were just naive/ignorant and believed them.
others were simply misled by diect lies, and believed them.
others wanted to believe what they suspected/knew were lies, hoping they would somehow work out.
then there was the rest of us who knew it as soon as it cameout of their mouths.
Well said.
.... Even the average Democrat voter is not stupid .....
I beg to differ. There isn’t a single stance taken by the democrat party that can stand even a whiff of scrutiny. Have you debated a liberal lately?
Thanks.
I agree that one cannot carry on a rational discourse with liberals, but if I want to use language correctly, it is not (in most cases) because they are stupid. Rather, it is because they are ignorant and depraved.

I admit I’m taking a very narrow view, but I judge liberals based on one of my sisters. It is impossible to even engage in the most simple debate with her because she either defaults to a bizarre Koch Brothers rant or denies that facts are facts. Democrats have been so throughly gruberized that facts, logic, and common sense do not matter.
Think about it. Harry Reid stood on the Senate floor (immunity) and said a little fairy told him Mitt Romney did not pay taxes for 10 years. No proof. Nothing. Democrats, including my sister, believed that as if gospel. Not even a whiff of scrutiny.
I’m not saying you have to be stupid to be a liberal, but it sure helps. This is only directed at rank and file gruberized liberals. The professional liberals are evil not stupid.
Your #9: Agreed.
Our constitution is almost done absorbing and passing the Baby Boomer phenomenon, which has ruled every major action the US grubermint has undertaken since 1940.
You can gaze upon the high-water marks the Boomer generation has had on every American industry... now it’s medicine’s turn.

I think you might mean 1945.

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.
“what they really exploited was the dishonesty of the monolithic leftist press”.
Monolithic leftist press describes it aptly but I like to call it the Obama Lapdog Media.
Exactly right. And anyone paying attention at the time KNEW that Obamacare was a con job. We knew it. Said so. Documented our concerns. And nobody listened. The advocate media failed.
Gruber changes the calculus. The informed were right. The “stupid” got conned. What happens next will determine if our republic is sustainable.
It's a more colorful label, but still accurate.
The very first Baby Boomer did not turn 21 until 1967 (1946 + 21). The voting age was lowered from 21 to 18 in 1971.
Liberals want to believe the lies. And the DNC is only too happy to keep providing them.
We keep talking about the stupidity of the American people... The American People knew. They elected a Republican Senator in Massachusetts for crying out loud. This thing was passed by dishonest politicians making bribes, breaking rules. This thing can be clearly laid at the Democrat’s feet.
and there are the ones who wanted their FREE healthcare.
