Political Quotes

On the recordNovember 13, 2014
``Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. Call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever.'' That was ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber speaking last year at the University of Pennsylvania. The broken ObamaCare promises are now legendary: ``If you like your health plan, you can keep it; if you like your doctor, you can keep them. The law will save American families money.'' Don't tell that to the 16th District business owners like Nelson Sensenig and Ron Fritz, who both recently contacted me to talk about their struggle to continue affording coverage for their employees. Both of them used to cover 100 percent of their employees' coverage. Now they can't afford to do so. Gruber, the MIT professor consultant, can jet around the country bragging about pulling one over on the American people--again, his quote: ``The stupidity of the American voters.'' What liberal arrogance. What he and the President did with ObamaCare has done tremendous harm to Americans struggling to provide for themselves and their families. That is why we must continue to fight for real health care reform. ____________________
