EVERY WONDER WHAT POLITICIANS AND POLICY MAKERS REALLY THINK OF US, THE VOTERS? MAYBE WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW ONE OF THE ARCHITECTS OF THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, M
IT ECONOMIST JONATHAN GRUBER, IS AT THE CENTER OF A FIRESTORM BECAUSE OF RECENT STATEMENTS HE MADE AT A UNIVERSITY CONFERENCE IN OCTOBER OF 2013 THAT'S WHEN HE TOLD AN AUDIENCE THAT SUPPORTERS OF OBAMACARE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE "STUPIDITY OF THE AMERICAN VOTER" TO CREATE A LAW THAT WOULD ULTIMATELY BE GOOD FOR THEM IN RESPONSE, REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE CHAIR REINCE PRIEBUS TWEETED, "ANY PERSON SHOULD BE INCENSED WHEN AN OBAMA ADVISOR SAYS VOTERS ARE STUPID
" BUT SOMETIMES IT SEEMS, REPUBLICANS DON'T HOLD VOTERS IN THE HIGHEST REGARD, EITHER TAKE, FOR EXAMPLE, THE COMMENTS OF PRIEBUS' RNC CO-CHAIR, SHARON DAY, DURING A CAMPAIGN APPEARANCE IN WISCONSIN LAST MONTH DAY SAID, AND I'M QUOTING, "I DON'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR WISCONSIN VOTERS, BUT SOME OF THEM MIGHT NOT BE AS SHARP AS A KNIFE" OR CONSIDER WHAT A GOP CONSULTANT HAD TO SAY IN LAST WEEK'S POLITICO PIECE ABOUT CONGRESSMAN PAUL RYAN'S AND HOW HE MIGHT FARE IN A PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY "PAUL RYAN APPEALS TO INTELLECTUAL VOTERS," THE CONSULTANT SAID
"I SAY THIS AS A LIFELONG REPUBLICAN THERE'S NO INTELLECT IN A REPUBLICAN PRIMARY VOTER" SO APPARENTLY SOME IN THE POLITICAL CLASS DON'T THINK MUCH OF WE THE PEOPLE THE VOTERS PERHAPS IT MIGHT STING MORE IF THE PUBLIC DIDN'T THINK SO LITTLE OF THEM
THANKS FOR BEING WITH US TODAY I'M MIKE GOUSHA I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN NEXT WEEK, ON "UPFRONT"
