Ricky, Ricky, Ricky. Apparently you've forgotten that the lyin' king once said "Sooner or later, you've made enough money." Sounds like grubby gruber hasn't gotten there yet. Now, if he were a wall street tycoon and managed to swindle that kinda money, then we might be lookin' at some jail time. Guess the video tapes are a way for him to CYA. Otherwise, a side trip to Ft. Marcy Park might be in the "offing".

Because he’s a left-wing, anti-American, ivory tower elitist, just like the rest of the faculty.

He’s transfering from the Economics Department to “Climate Science” where the real grubers reside.

“Why does Jonathan Gruber still have a job at MIT?”
1. Because they agree with him
2. Because they know that he wasn’t referring to them as part of the stupid populous because the MIT elitists are superior
3. The ends justify the means and Billy Bob and Joe the plumber are not intelligent enough to make an informed decision so it is ok to trick them.

Frankly I’m a lot less concerned about Gruber than I am the democrats who brought him in as a consultant on how to conspire against the American people.

Gruber himself is no different than 99% of college professors.

We aren’t getting the money back.

Gruber is probably a significant source of beaucoup Federal Dollar$ to help cover MIT’s overhead.

Yup! Pity us poor “not super-sophisticated” rubes eh? Have you heard him speak on any of the tapes? We caught a little of some of his spiel yesterday and he sounds like an effete little punk. But hey, they’re SOOOOOO much smarter than us. Then again, the ignorant will fall for the BS time after time. Apparently 247 thousand in Nevada fell for the “Just to make you safer” intergalactic background check petition that just got turned in. Idiots.

He has admitted to fraud, lying, and deciet.(sic)

From what I understand, he only advised the president to commit fraud, lie, and deceive. He was correct that the average voter is stupid. He merely told the president to rely on that stupidity if he wanted to get that garbage bill passed. The president is the one who committed the fraud, lying, and deceit.

Dhimmiokkrats that brought him in? I thought none of them had ever heard of him. LOL! Just some guy in the neighborhood syndrome again.

Excellent credentials for a leftist.

Exactly my point.

People shouldn’t get to fixated on the idea of punishing Gruber, he didn’t do anything illegal. The real question is why should the democrats who actively conspired to perpetrate this fraud against the American people get away with it.

He was only correct that DEMOCRAT voters were stupid; they were the ones whose deception led to the passage of the bill. The ACA received zero Republican votes, who apparently weren’t deceived. So when Gruber said “call it the stupidity of the American voter” he was talking about Democrat voters.

Yep, yep and yep.

Perhaps the most disturbing thing is that his comments happened some time ago and yet nobody at any of those meetings/panels thought he said anything worth raising their hand about. If it wasn't for their vanity of putting every utterance on video and posting it online we'd never even know.

They simply agreed with him and probably just nodded their heads when he said them at the time.

There was a little number Mitt Romney threw out there: 47%. 47% will follow the socialists no matter what. I'd add a few more percentage points on top of that for other stupid voters. In general, I believe that the "stupid" voter amounts to very close to or a slight majority of the voting public.

Gruber's assumptions were correct at least for the majority of the voting public. And all of this is by design. They've been dumbing us down for years.

Cause MIT is nothing but a bunch of Grubers itself.
