Sen. Perdue (R) just said there is an "education problem" w/healthcare bill (meaning we are stupid)

In translation: Americans are too stupid to understand why the Republican bill is the best medicine for them. Remember when the Repubs had an absolute fit when the "architect of Obamacare," Jonathan Gruber, made a statement about the "stupidity" of American voters? Then of course Repubs were the great patriots and protectors of the American people...now the people are just being stupid (?)

they are too busy running away from their constituents. They are trying to play the American people. Haven't they proved how much disdain they have for their own citizens?

the authors should take some time to explain it to the senators AND to We the People (and thereby convince everyone that it should be deep-sixed.)
