Excellent!

Several years ago I purchased a brand new television set, took it home and within a couple of days found myself sorely disappointed in its performance. Everything looked great at first, but then I noticed there was no sound coming from the speakers, which probably had something to do with the fact that there was no picture on the screen. Repeated attempts to get a response to the remote control failed, as did pressing the buttons on the front. What it boiled down to is that I had a very expensive device taking up space in my living room that failed to deliver on its basic function in life. Needless to say, I immediately returned said television set to the store and demanded a refund, cancelling out a business transaction that had resulted in failure. I think most Americans would agree that we have reached that point with Obamacare.

By now so many videos (four at last count) of Jonathan Gruber calling voters stupid and bragging about the fraud he and others perpetrated on the American people in order to get Obamacare passed have surfaced that even CBS News was forced to report on it. The surprising thing about the videos is not that Liberals think voters are stupid, or that they would engage in lies and outright fraud to push their agenda, it is that anyone is surprised by this. Nancy Pelosi, working with the same attitude as Gruber, denied knowing who he was (even though she has cited him in the past) and insisted we “put him aside”. I guess this is why she said we had to pass the bill to find out what’s in it.

Mrs. Pelosi’s denials aside, it is clear that not only has Obamacare failed to deliver on its basic function in life, it was presented to the American people through deliberate fraud (as is the case with most Democrat proposals). I suppose it would be possible for defenders of the Abominable Care Act to dismiss the fraud by saying that most Americans didn’t believe the lies anyway, but I opposition to the law would certainly have been even greater if the most gullible among us had at least been told the truth. In either case the ACA has failed to solve a single one of the problems it was supposed to fix, and in fact has made most of them even worse. Why would we not repeal this insanely bad law?

It says a lot about Barack Obama as well as the Democrat Party that the crowning achievement of their eight years in control of the White House is a failed program perpetrated on the American people through fraud by people that hold them in utter contempt. One of the things it says is that we should expect the same fraud and contempt to be a part of everything they say or do, and that nothing they try to sell us can be trusted. For instance, when the President tells us about his plans for executive amnesty and how it will make America safer and more prosperous, think Jonathan Gruber.
