Dems Need the Stupid Voters

Nothing illustrates the Democrats' reliance on uninformed voters quite like the new video clip of Jonathan Gruber, one of the architects of Obamacare, speaking on the subject.  His admission unequivocally states that they deliberately deceived Americans in order to pass the transformative bill. In fact, he admits that "the lack of transparency is a huge political advantage." He went on, "and basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass." These comments were caught on camera at an event from October 2013 and were posted on YouTube by conservative group American Commitment.

This stunning revelation reinforces Nancy Pelosi's comment that "we have to pass the bill in order to find out what's in it." The Democrat politicians obviously were aware that what they were about to foist onto the American public was problematic, and would be seen that way if the public were informed of its true content. Let's remember, that every Republican in Congress voted against this bill, and that it was passed with backroom deals and questionable tactics by the Democrats.

Ironically though, since the Republican/Conservative electorate had analyzed the various aspects of this bill over the course of a year and took up opposition to Obamacare, (and actively opposed, as the Tea Party was largely born from its rejection of this massive overhaul of our health care system and subsequent intrusion into our lives), it means that those voters were not too stupid to know. They were informed. Apparently, it was the Democrats' own voters they were fooling, and fool they did.

The arrogance of the progressive Left knows no bounds. And while we already know that this elitism exists by the very intrusive laws and regulations that are passed 'for our own good', it is vindicating to hear from their own lips what we always suspected: they rely on the uninformed voter to support their policies, and they believe the ends justify the means.
