Gowdy is smart enough to know that any attempt to repeal the law outright will be vetoed. I think that there are two rational tacks: 1) let the Supreme Court demolish the law by identifying the subsidies at the Federal Exchange as illegal (the law is explicit and Gruber noted that it was deliberately written that way to "squeeze the states"), and 2) denude it piece by piece.

Unfortunately, until a new, more rational President takes office this will be the best we can get. (...and that's "pudding", not "putting" although perhaps your version makes more sense)

Mr. Gowdy can say anything he wants, but can he say we the members of the congress are going to REPEAL this damn law?
I am hearing a lot of lip service but the proof is still in the putting.

Fox recently reported that the number is more like 60% now.

The real irony is that Gruber was most explicitly correct about the Democrat congress members that voted for the bill without reading it; they are the essence of stupidity. It had no Republican supporters and had to be slipped through on-the-sly by Reed and Pelosi. Be careful who you send to Congress!

After the Obama (re)election, I told Democrat friends, "Well you got what you wanted. Let's see in a couple of years if you really want what you got!"

In some way, I think he is referring to some of the people in Congress. As Pelosi famously said "We have to pass the bill to see what's in it". And the majority of the Democrats admitted to NOT reading the bill but voted for it anyway... so I say the stupidity of the American people honestly lies with the Democrats and the MSM.

I actually thought Romney was right to state what he said about the 47%. It was correct and there was no real evidence to the contrary. In fact there was evidence to back him up! Shame he got blasted for stating something true.

You make me think of a Rush song from Test for Echos.. Lyrics go:
Half the world hates, what half the world does every day
Half the world tries to be the other half.

not necessarily in that order! Great song though!

I love Trey Gowdy!

Gowdy is an amazingly courageous and grounded man. If I wasn't such an old codger, I'd beg to go to work for/with him. I'm still amazed at the lack of coverage given to Gruber by the lame-stream media. The lack of journalistic integrity is even deeper than I ever imagined it could get.

Comrade citizens, I come with a memo from superior authority.
You instructed from this date on to appreciate how mouse coward is the Edward Snowden of the Gulch just as Jonathan Gruber is a blathering god to foot-in-mouth Joe Biden.
Now before anyone gets all uppity over Snowden's shrug, keep in mind that superior authority hates a snitch just as much as an el corrupto Banana Republico, which it is.
Adios! And say buenos dias to the soon new and improved way, way huger (than the GOP) Democratico People's Party..
Psst! And we'll still cheat at the polls.

better message control

The sad part about gruber is that beyond his arrogance, he is RIGHT. Most of the US voters ARE idiots when it comes to understanding what they are voting for, and the hidden agendas behind their voting choices. Romney got blasted for his 47% comment about the populace, but I think he was ALSO right. Half want the goodies, and the other half make the goodies. No wonder there is gridlock, and its a good thing that we have it !!

Jonathan Gruber is the poster boy for the true goal of the liberal-progressive agenda, the formation of a new aristocracy run by a self appointed "intellectual elite".

Even the AS villains did not spout arrogant--and arrant--nonsense like what we hear from Gruber--and his bosses.

Snort... Why is mouse coward so damned funny??? I bust out laughing every time.

Lol.. maybe you need to tighten up your mouse coward... to avoid slippage. Rich swears by it.

$5Au will pass on your kind words next time he sees Trey.

I have to admit that the Magic Fingers do occasionally slip leaving the keyboard a Freudian mess.

Thanks, I didn't notice until you pointed it out. We need more mouse cowards.

1001

Congrats on a 1000 pts, IdianaGary!

+1 ;-S

The count at this moment is:
1 Gowdy
1 Howdy
and 1 Goudy

Howdy can do some zingers. I enjoy watching him question witnesses on committees.

Too bad we don't have enough representatives with the courage to do what should be done. We need more Trey Goudy's.

That's about when I headed for the computer. I just had to post it. :-P

I loved that quote when I heard it.
