Elijah Cummings Savages Gruber: ‘Absolutely Stupid,’ ‘Incredibly Disrespectful’
National Review Online ^ | 9 Dec 2014 | Brendan Bordelon

Posted on 12/09/2014 8:47:40 AM PST by W.

Democratic congressman Elijah Cummings tore into MIT professor and Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber on Tuesday for his remarks on American voters and the passage of the Affordable Care Act.

The ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee made GOP chairman Darrell Issa’s opening statement sound tame by comparison.

“As far as I can tell, we are here today to beat up on Jonathan Gruber for stupid — I mean absolutely stupid — comments he made over the last few years,” he began, staring angrily at the hapless professor.

You nailed it. Cummings horsewhipped Gruber for spilling the beans, that’s all.

It’s like a slow motion train wreck. As more facts are slowly revealed, it’s beginning to suggest there were deliberate crimes committed, not inadvertent mistakes made, by top Obama administration officials. The first key democrat to blow the whistle on the rest will hopefully start a political landslide that may end with many of them, including some RINOs, being tried for perjury, and a few worse crimes.

Regardless, the corruption is so deep and wide, they will not be able to contain it much longer. At that point the wall of lies and deception is going to collapse into anarchy, martial law, and a new dictatorial form of government which in turn will lead to secession and civil war between the red and blue states.

What happens in the next session will determine if we can restore our nation and it’s Constitution through the ballot box and legislative means, otherwise be prepared for whatever comes if that fails. It is better to be prepared for that which never comes than to be unprepared when it comes.

Cover fire. Cummings knows they are exposed big time here. He has to put on a show to quiet those stupid voters who might have accidentally been paying attention.

The depth and breadth of their fraud, deceit, and treachery is completely beyond comprehension. Exceeding even the most radical predictions by orders of magnitude.

And they ain’t done yet.

I agree and add there were very few errors per se, compared to the number of deliberate lies and crimes committed against the American people as a whole, and we are all fed up with seeing the guilty skate away while laughing up their sleeves at the stupid American citizens who end up paying to fix every one of government's mistakes. We need to identify, target and go after the people responsible for foisting this illegal abomination upon the American people. They must be made to realize their days of running roughshod over America are about to come to a screeching halt. If this isn't the breaking point, I don't know where it is.

Cummings isn't taking issue with his view of Congress, just his exposing the truth that those who voted for this are stupid. ,,,<<<<

understanding that stops a “pyramids Scheme” instantly..the problem is...Once u bought in...You're rooting for the wrong results! In other words....Sometime it's better to buy them a new shovel rather then tell them to stop digging!
