I write in the hopes of changing minds about politics.My entire professional career has been in education at the high school and higher education levels.Call my writings teachable moments. That being said, you can bet, as I speak, my many diehard liberal naysayers are having a meltdown without even hearing what I have to say.

Besides the issue of abortion there are umpteen other stand alone problems with Democrats to think about when voting such as socialism vs. capitalism, over spending, higher taxes, mediocre job creation, shredding our constitution, national insecurity, global warming scam, and many others.How can we forget the many scandals this administration has engaged in and that is the point of this writing.The scandals are endless, and just recently another whopper surfaces that most readers haven’t heard about.

Did you hear or read about MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber, a major architect of ObamaCare?Probably not because mainstream media treats it as a non story or media is late to the table with miniscule coverage on this whooper!It’s huge, and it proves, without a doubt of liberal mainstream media showing its bias as it tries, as usual, to protect the president.

Did you know that your tax money and mine made a multimillionaire out of con artist Gruber who admits on three or four different videos that, as one of the ObamaCare architects, it was his job to deceive the public about Obama’s signature healthcare law? The deception was mostly about how OC would be funded.To call the funding a tax would likely kill its passage, therefore, the architects vehemently denied it was a tax.The other thing that needed to be hidden was how younger and healthier people would pay the most to cover the older and less healthy people which wouldn’t fly either. The lies, the deception, were all over the place including you can keep your doctor, you can keep your same insurance, your premiums will go down by $2500, etc. Gruber’s videos show this man bragging about deceiving you and me and all of America.

Besides the $400,000 Gruber got up front his many speeches about OC in various states made him a multimillionaire – hold on to your seats – at American taxpayer expense!I’ve seen figures as high as six million the man made of taxpayer monies for lying!

Probably the biggest part of this story is that the government under Obama deliberately set out to lie to the public.Through Gruber the government admitted deliberate deception. The White House logs show Gruber visited there some 19 times and Gruber claims Obama was present at some meetings. Obama, as usual, as with most every scandal, denies knowing about Gruber as we have lie upon lie!

Adding salt to the wound, Gruber says we the public were too “stupid” to pick up on what was being proposed as legislation.The gall of this man is unconscionable.He also claims that “lack of transparency” was a real asset in getting this law passed.

Some people might have been stupid as Democrats passed this historic abomination without one single congressional Republican vote but many were not. I wrote about it a number of times.It was and still is an abomination.No matter what you hear from this administration and its allies, including mainstream media, ObamaCare to this day is a train wreck.Unfortunately, there isn’t space in this writing to spell out the damage OC has caused to our healthcare in this country.

House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi said it all back in 2010 – “let’s pass it Congress so we can see what’s in it.”Isn’t it stupid to say that and isn’t it stupid for all the Democrats to vote for it, not even knowing what’s in the 22,000 pages?” Yet Gruber calls you and me the stupid ones!

There are four things I would like for you to take away from this writing.One, is that there’s a whole lot more than abortion to vote against. This scandal alone is reason enough not to vote Democrat.Two, are we being deceived by mainstream media as it distorts the news and too often hides the Obama negatives?Third, the deception, the lies, the lack of transparency of our present government permeates every single thing it does!Last, but not least, some Americans need to wake up to the fact that liberals think the majority of us are stupid, and they, with big government, knows what is best for us. To heck with the liberty or freedom of making our own decisions!

Thank God for a new Congress and the awakening of a majority of Americans as shown in our recent election, nationally and statewide!
