Who is the Stupid One

Letter to the Editor by Ed Huber:November 14, 2014

General George S. Patton said:“Politicians are the lowest form of life on earth. Liberal Democrats are the lowest form of politicians.”

So did he get it right? What did he mean with such a bold statement?

Before I answer let me send my condolences to ex mayor James Talley of Ducktown. Mayor Talley your going to be missed. About as much as the sore throat I had a few weeks back.

To anyone surfing the internet and Youtube or watching Fox news you know the man largely responsible for crafting ObamaCare admitted publicly, on at least three occasions, that a “lack of transparency” was necessary for the passage of the healthcare reform bill, because if the American people were told the truth, ObamaCare would not pass. In an obscure interview that is now getting a lot of attention, Jonathan Gruber, an MIT professor, and leading architect of ObamaCare, shamelessly cited “the stupidity of the American voter” for the bill’s passage.

Gruber’s austere admission validates Queen Nancy’s infamous obfuscation, “But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.” Obamacare is the most egregious violation of public trust and blatant misrepresentation of a bill ever passed into law. It turns out that the architects of this dreadful law and the Obama/Reid/Pelosi machine rammed the bill through Congress, hid the facts from scrutiny, and intentionally misled the American people. Liberal Democrats used legislative obfuscation, manipulation, and shadowy backroom deals to get the bill passed. But now, Professor Gruber, an ObamaCare insider, has admitted that the administration’s goal was to completely fool the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), legislators, and the American people in order to pass ObamaCare.

During a speaking engagement at the University of Pennsylvania Gruber told the audience: “This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. Okay, so it’s written to do that. In terms of risk-rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in – you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed. … Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really critical for the thing to pass … but I’d rather have this law than not.”

In classic liberal fashion, Gruber believed he knew better than the American people, and lied and manipulated to get his way! Obama’s promises were that we could keep our doctor and healthcare plan, and no monies would be used for abortions. The Supreme Court ruled that the individual mandates were a “tax,” contrary to the way in which the Obama administration originally sold the bill to the American people and the CBO.

Informed citizens were never so “stupid” not to see through ObamaCare’s abortion mandates, higher premiums, hidden taxes, program deceptions, death panels, and assaults on our religious liberties.

Barack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi have all deceived the American people, violated the legislative process, and rammed an unconstitutional law down the collective throats of every American.

The truth of ObamaCare’s lies, deceptions, and inadequacies is being systematically exposed as are its disastrous impacts on our economy, our workforce, and our national healthcare systems! ObamaCare is a law built on lies, manipulation, and unconstitutional and immoral mandates.
The folks Gruber was referring to and the real stupidity is among the members of congress who voted for this bill and the voters who voted them into office. They were “too stupid” to understand the impact of ObamaCare.
