I can think of another scam they were conned twice on.

I was just curious to see the lapdog lackey media spin on it. I knew it would be a wild spin.

For real! That’s why Gruber may have a point, as regards app half the country-the half which voted for the pack of liars.

The most vehement supporters of Obamacare don’t really care about how it was passed, what was in it, or if it works.

All they care about is the good feeling they get from “wanting to provide affordable healthcare to the poor”.

Now, given that motivation, do you think they’ll “be conned twice”? How about “every time”?

I’ve lurked there a bit recently. They are doing their usual about their losing candidates not being far enough to the left. Right, Bernie Sanders would sweep Louisiana /s

I am watching the Gruber hearings on C-SPAN. The Democrats are totally throwing in with Gruber. I did not expect that.

What were you expecting? For them to lambaste him and admit wrong? They’ll lie to to the nth, before admitting wrong and accepting any blame.

I was considering watching it, but at the time thought that it would be a mud-slinging fest, with Dems joining in on it to try and create even more distance between them and Gruber.

If what you are saying is true, then I am actually suprised.

His lies were aimed at Democrats in the House and Senate.

They were the only ones who had to be taken in and vote for the trash.

The consequence is most of those who voted for this are gone from the next session of Congress.

They sacrificed their careers for the Party.

His view of them being stupid is accurate.

Considering the number of links to conservative sites at this article (those conservatives who at one time praised Gruber as being the cat's meow), I would not concur with you, at least not with the Vox article.

Other articles on the web will undoubtedly try to spin this, but tis Vox via Yahoo News article doesn’t do this at all.
