...sound any smarter.

I'm amazed that you don't think our reps in DC listen to their constituents. Is that how you use your vote? Go to the polls on Election Day, vote for all of the idiot Democrats, and then -- go home and knit socks and take no further interest in it. Really?

And Pikes drones on and on and on with HIS idiocy, and will never just tell us what Gruber actually MEANT when he said:

"If you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in – you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed. Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really really critical for the thing to pass."

He can't tell us what Gruber meant by that. Just pisses ineloquently about "what came before" and "what came after".

stfu or tell us what he ACTUALLY meant.

He can't.

No surprises there for me from EITHER of you.

They counted on your stupidity. And all you're doing is verifying that they knew exactly what they could count on.
