YouTube: GRUBER: "Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage."

Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber bragging about deceiving the American people, who he thinks are stupid.

quote:

“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” says the MIT economist who helped write Obamacare. “And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.”

He says if they had told the truth about what was in the bill, it would never have passed.

Those of us that follow politics know the Obama administration policies are based in lies. They continuly lie. It's what they do.

its a wonder that it even has to be stated, as if there are people who actually didn't know this, but his audience is the koolaid drinkers, so it probably has to be dumbed down

Their policies are based on the naivety and ignorance of their voters.

Gosh, what are they going to reveal next? Are we going to find out that Obama spoke out in favor of same-sex marriage in ,the 1990's, only to later pretend to be against it in an attempt to come across as more "mainstream" to the electorate in 2008?

I'm so disillusioned right now, because I'm starting to think there could've been multiple lies and deceptions. This might be the worst Monday ever.

Another reason why the left works so very hard to get more low information voters registered and to the polls. Easier to sell this crap to the uneducated.

I would love to see a state AG bring up a racketeering and fraud case against certain Dems for this.

It's one thing to deceive another to get your way. It's something worse to then tell you they fricked you over for your own good because in their highly developed worldview, you're better off just doing it their way.

A Democrat openly admitting that his argument cannot win on the merits, so he has to lie instead.

Color me shocked.

And the true believers do not care. Why? Because they won and that is all that matters.

Not going to happen bro. Arky going to get their first SEC win this week. And A&M found something special in their QB. Heading towards a 7-5 season and 6th in the SEC West (truly 7th, because we will have lost to the last place team - but numerically, 6th).

So if all goes as you say, and Tennessee wins out, we both finish 7-5 and go a Who Gives a shite Bowl.



Good news is, we are the 2 youngest teams in the SEC. Next year, all will be made right in the college football world.
