If Democrats had described Obamacare honestly, no one would have voted for it. The Congressmen's constituents (including Democrats) would have bombarded them with demands that they vote NO, and very few could have resisted the pressure.
And it's not just about Obamacare.
If they had described Social Security honestly (that it would dispossess seniors of enough payments to make every one of them a millionaire, and then spend those payments in the General Fund and wait for later enrollees to pay for today's retirees), the same thing would have happened.
And if they admitted they were lying when they accused Republicans of poisoning the air, starving children, robbing Seniors, etc. etc., the same thing: Normal people would have rejected them in disgust.
And if they acknowledged that they were discouraging oil drilling just to pacify a relatively tiny (but strident) part of their base, the militant enviro-nuts, while remaining indifferent to the rising prices for oil (and for goods delivered by trucks or trains that use oil for fuel), normal people would again vote them ot of office.
And every other program the Democrats have pushed, would have met a similar fate if they described it openly and honestly.
The Democrats MUST lie about these things, and deceive people the way Gruber described.
Gruber was merely telling the truth about what the Democrats have been doing for decades.
But telling the truth is the one thing the Democrats cannot stand. Notice that not a single Democrat has addressed what Gruber said? Some call him names and denigrate his character, but most won't say anything. Those who do say anything about him, never touch what he actually said.
