    I thought for sure there would be talk of this guy on here given what he said and the controversy that followed...

    No one would argue that it didn't take political contortion to pass the ACA, but the "stupidity" he claims was argued before the Supreme Court. Those stupid guys let it stand.

    Given the actions of his brothers Hans and Simon, it's not surprising that he'd be in on some nefarious plan to prey on Americans using misdirection.

    It was predictable. 40% of this country will follow the obama agenda into the grave, its the 11% of the population they have to manipulate to win their case.

    Its obvious obamacare is another steal to the rich to cradle the poor program, those who were duped deserve what they got ;)

    Well it's not just about Obama, a recent study proved that 76.2% of all percentages cited on the internet are made up on the spot.

    "Hey, business is business. You use a gun, I use a fountain pen what's the difference? Let's put it in my terms, you're in a hostile takeover, you snatch us up for some green mail, but you're not expecting some poison pill to be running around the building, am I right? Jonathan, *booby* I'm your white knight."

    You know my name but who are you? Just another American who saw too many movies as a child? Another orphan of a bankrupt culture who thinks he's John Wayne? Rambo? Marshal Dillon?

    Probably because it's another manufactured controversy designed to give Fox viewers their weekly rage fix. Next week, it will be something else.

    in what way is it made up? Gruber is the architect of Obamacare (he got paid 400k for writing it). HE did say those things.
