Stupidity of the American Voter?

This clown couldn't stop bragging about ****ing over The American People! :lamo

The hits keep coming: Gruber celebrates ?mislabeling? Obamacare in video #6 « Hot Air

Greetings, apdst. :2wave:

Wow! This just keeps getting better and better! I just never knew there were male Marie Antoinette types running around loose today, though. Since I'm part of the "stupid" crowd, I wonder if they will use a guillotine to cut off his tongue, or do they have something more exotic in mind for him? :lamo:
 
ObamaCare architect says lack of transparency helped law pass, cites 'stupidity of the American voter' | Fox News

Based upon the last election looks to me like the American voter is waking up. Wonder why he still has a 41% JAR

There's no waking up, this is just the teeter-totter of one-party politics. Democrats don't do right by the People, we get pissed and vote in the Republicans. Then the Republicans will sit there and not do right by the People, we get pissed and vote in the Democrats. And back and forth we go, ad nausem. The People never being served, the same people elected, and the same status quo promoted. Thanks Republocrats.
 
Even though he eas in the room, when Hans Gruber was devising the deception.

Nancy Pelosi stated that she didn't know him either, till she was reminded by photos that she did, and had to backpedal! I haven't heard a peep from Reid, so he probably didn't know him either. :lol: Is lying contagious in DC? If there was ever an administration that caused people to despise and distrust government, this one has got to be in the top three! :thumbdown:
 
Just a little option to have in mind. I'm in the process of purchasing a house there right now. Renting it out to some Canadians on 6 month leases and having a friend watch over it for another 6. Good investment in case **** in the US gets worse.
I've been in Costa Rica for quite a while and still believe it's a good investment, as well as a very good place to live if remembering the locationx3 rule. There is no real risk unless, like everywhere, you get silly.

That's the benefit of the two party system.
 
No outrage here...I've come to expect this crap from liberal progressives. Not an honest bone in any of you.
I've come to realize that you can be a Progressive or Honest but you cannot be both.
 
actually I have them at the top og
f that list by far!and that includes the Nixon admin!

True that. And I think these tapes represent the single most important moment in American politics in the last 30 years. This guy is the quintessential liberal: a snotty, arrogant, deceitful, despotic, self-absorbed pr*ck who is disdainful of the American public. Thank you Mr Gruber for shining the light of truth upon the ugly face of liberalism.
 
Get over this phony outrage. Every single right winger whines and bitches about how stupid the American voter is after any election where they lose ground. Every single time.

Get over your phony outrage over the real outrage.
 
LOL... the economy is rolling by comparison to where it was when Bush handed his flaming poo economy over. Osama is dead... something your boy Bush couldn't do... so your whole post is FoS.

Except that it was the mortgage market collapse caused by the democrats pushing sub prime loans through the auspices of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that caused the Bush era economy to go south.
 
The economy is better. Gas prices are dropping. Stock Market is going up. Yearly deficit down compared to the end of Bush term. Unemployment down to the lowest since end of Bush presidency. Yeah, things are better in America. The midterm was a fluke. Republicans will show their normal self of not being able to manage their own demons (lust for the war machine, homophobia, etc) and lose the Senate again in 2016 and the race for the Presidency. Its the economy stupid, we were so fond of once saying to the Democrats. Yes, it is.

You live in denial, sport.
 
The electorate that had the lowest turnout since WWII? :YAWN:

Failed gloat post... yet another dodge from the facts.



Apparently you are. Bask in the glory of this shallow victory. You guys will get nothing done but talk big for two years and fail to get the whitehouse yet again and lose ground in the house and senate because it's a general election and more than five people show up to the polls... no matter how hard the GOP tries to keep people from them. :peace

Hmmmmm.....I recall most lieberals on the forum as late as a couple months ago assuring us that the republicans were not only going to fail to take the Senate....they were going to lose the house as well. Go figure!
 
That's the benefit of the two party system.

No, that's the stagnation of a one-party system. Oligarchy is not a good thing.

Yes, I believe there were entire thread dedicated to the 'fact' that republicans would not gain control of the senate and might even lose the house. And even if those things didn't happen, they were going to be trounced in governors races. Now all you hear liberals saying is that this outcome was predictable from the start.

Funny, I don't recall "most" liberals claiming anything of the sort.
 
Its not politically feasible, especially while the IGM boomers are around.

The liberals are too dense to work out that if the system were privatized, they would retire with much bigger monthly checks.

As long as people put their party before the good of the country, or accept lies because these politicians share the same party affiliation, then that will continue to be one of the greatest dangers facing the Republic.
 
The saga continues with

Gruber Video #6

which he says among other things:


In those 2011 remarks, Gruber said that, despite the fact that most members of his profession agree employer-based health insurance tax breaks were bad policy, “it turns out politically it’s really hard to get rid of.”

He said that the Affordable Care Act helped to do away with this system in two ways. The first, “by mislabeling it, calling it a tax on insurance plans rather than a tax on people when we all know it’s a tax on people who hold those insurance plans.” And secondly, by delaying the implementation of this tax until 2018. “But by starting it late, we were able to tie the cap for Cadillac Tax to CPI, not medical inflation,” Gruber said.

“This was the only political way we were ever going to take on what is one of the worst public policies in America, and every economist should celebrate this,” Gruber insisted.

“It’s on the books now,” Gruber added of the 2018 implementation deadline at which point he anticipated employers and unions would seek to have this tax repealed. “At that point, if they want to get rid of it they’re going to have to fill a trillion dollar hole in the deficit.”​
 
I already told you-people who already have nest egg in this flawed system would never want to jeopardize it.

Actually the way Bush proposed it...it would not have affected anyone 55 or older at the time.
 
Jesus.... Six videos?

No wonder the media's ignoring it. :rofl
