Obamacare Lack of Transparency, and the Stupidity of the Voters

By Douglas V. Gibbs

The liberal left Democrats can't win in the arena of ideas, or honesty.  If they were to tell you up front what they were up to, you would never vote for them.  This has been my message to Political Pistachio readers for years.

In the Unseen Hand by A. Ralph Epperson, the strategy is described clearly.

"Someone once described the deception as, 'One way they look, another way they steer.'  The strategy is to promise the American people and to deliver another.  Never make it appear that you, the candidate, are supporting socialism, or are a Socialist, even though the platforms you will support after your election are indeed socialist in nature.  And you must never deliver so much socialism that the American people will discover the exact nature of the game and remove you from office."

"The reason the socialists must deceive the unsuspecting citizen was made clear by the London, England, Sunday Times which stated that Socialism was defined as: 'competition without prizes, boredom without hope, war without victory, and statistics without end.'"

"In other words, most people don't want Socialism and they don't wish to live under the Socialist economy, so the Socialists must resort to trickery and deception, by a series of lies offered to the people by lying politicians."

A few pages later, on page 51 of The Unseen Hand by A. Ralph Epperson, it reads:

"The socialist machine slowly climbs the ladder to total control of the market place."

In the latest twist regarding the Affordable Care Act, dubbed "Obamacare" by its opposition, one of the architects of the socialist health care law admitted on camera that the law lacks transparency, and that it was the lack of transparency that helped the Obama administration and congressional Democrats pass the Affordable Care Act.

"Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage," said the MIT economist who helped write Obamacare." He then refers to the "stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.”

In other words, they lied on purpose, and knew they had to, or else the American Public would have never accepted the law.
