Hearings floated as Hill Republicans seize on Gruber Obamacare comments
WaPo ^ | Robert Costa and Jose A. DelReal

Posted on 11/12/2014 12:42:15 PM PST by RoosterRedux

Congressional Republicans seized Wednesday on controversial comments made by a former health-care consultant to the Obama administration, with one leading House conservative suggesting that hearings could be called in response as part of the GOP effort to dismantle the law in the next Congress and turn public opinion ahead of the 2016 election.

"We may want to have hearings on this," said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), an influential voice among GOP hardliners and a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, in an interview at the Capitol. "We shouldn't be surprised they were misleading us."

I want to know if Ezekiel Emanuel was at that same conference and what he had to say. Emanuel works for the U of P hospital. He is head of patient health services. He should have been there.

A hardliner to the WaPo is anybody with common sense.

Well, and do something stronger than hearings. If it never goes any farther than hearings, it’s just for pandering to the conservative base while carefully making sure not to impede the march of fascism in the least. Put some people in jail, run a nationwide 24/7 media campaign so the LI’s know what the Dems think of them. DO something meaningful.

what a gift to conservatives that big mouth Gruber has been. I wonder if someone with that arrogance can feel shame though.

Shame is a foreign concept to liberals.

“I have never heard the Washington Post ever call a democrat politician as a “hardliner”.”

Me either. They also like to call Conservative legislation “controversial”. These terms are never applied to liberal dimoKKKRATS.

Gruber apologized for his incendiary remarks

Headline?

Republican soon-to-be majority approved a stern measure against Gruber
Letter Warns "Don't let it happen again."

(Sarcasm due to my shear frustration with those Republican members of Congress.)

Maybe --

If the problem is shear greed and the desire to be part of the ruling class than eventually it is going to take some drastic actions.

Does the Washington Post ever call any Dems “hardliners”?

Or far-left, extremists, mavericks, etc.

Nothing is going to happen to this guy ... not even hearings in Washington. You can bank on it.

The reason for it is simple: The same guy was the architect of RomneyCare in Massachusetts.

WaPo also refers to the major designer of obamacare as, “former health-care consultant”.
