Prop C passes overwhelmingly

Missouri voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly rejected a federal mandate to purchase health insurance, rebuking President Barack Obama's administration and giving Republicans their first political victory in a national campaign to overturn the controversial health care law passed by Congress in March.

Time for old jugears to rethink his position?

[ash-housewares]

Nah, he’ll just sue ‘em

[a real Sheila]

why isn’t this on the ballot in EVERY state this election?

Huge turnaround, since McCain only beat Obama in MO 50-49 during the 2008 election. Obvious buyer’s remorse.

[Dr. Ursus]

There’re five Supreme Court justices that should get their
own food tasters!

Someone had to be first, just to test the waters. It MUST be obvious to the demmies that we do NOT want this, and it will be interesting to see their reaction to this mandate.

Hey DIMs....hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Siena Dreaming]

Even DU hates the mandate...that's tells you how widespread the opposition to it is.

But without it, Obamacare cannot be funded. It will be very very interesting to say the least when the question of the mandate reaches the Supremes.

“Time for old jugears to rethink his position?”

I don’t think that Stroker got the message.

As late as yesterday he said that he “thinks” that he knows more than his critics.

The boy is either very slow on the uptake, or he is living in denial.

The sooner that we throw this narcissistic POS out of OUR White House, the better off we will all be.

[a real Sheila]

they KNOW we don’t want it, but they don’t CARE!

Wonder if we can get something on the ballots that will force our reps in the house and senate to use the same healthcare they have forced upon us.

When I read a headline in this morning’s paper: “Mo Against Obamacare!”, I thought MO was Michele Obama! I thought, “Gee, his base really has eroded!” Then I realized it was Proposition C in Missouri but was not disappointed since the plurality was greater than the number of people who voted for Obamacare’s mandated purchasing of a product.

Ike Skelton is toast....

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Remember Obama’s SecOfHealth has dismissed all of this as silly and will never work. < / sarcasm >

Dear Obama, America in a large percentage rejects your radical agendas.

[OCCASparky]

Hardly a surprise—O is polling in the low 30’s there of late.

[edpc]

Probably won’t be long until he’s there on a national level.

"The citizens of the Show-Me State don't want Washington involved in their health care decisions," said Sen. Jane Cunningham, R-Chesterfield, one of the sponsors of the legislation that put Proposition C on the August ballot. She credited a grass-roots campaign involving Tea Party and patriot groups with building support for the anti-Washington proposition.

With most of the vote counted, Proposition C was winning by a ratio of nearly 3 to 1. The measure, which seeks to exempt Missouri from the insurance mandate in the new health care law, includes a provision that would change how insurance companies that go out of business in Missouri liquidate their assets.

"I've never seen anything like it," Cunningham said at a campaign gathering at a private home in Town and Country. "Citizens wanted their voices to be heard."

About 30 Proposition C supporters whooped it up loudly at 9 p.m. when the returns flashed on the television showing the measure passing with more than 70 percent of the vote.

"It's the vote heard 'round the world," said Dwight Janson, 53, from Glendale, clad in an American flag-patterned shirt. Janson said he went to one of the first Tea Party gatherings last year and hopped on the Proposition C bandwagon because he wanted to make a difference.

Comrade Zero on Phone: "Admiral Mullen?" (JCOS)

Admiral Mullen: "Yes Mr. 'President'?

0bama: "I am declaring war on Missouri, draw up plans for an air strike."

Admiral Mullen: "MISSOURI?!?"

0bama: "That's right, and after that air strike, I want the bombers refueled in mid-air, and targets in Arizona taken out"

Admiral Mullen: "What targets in Arizona?!?"

0bama: "The Governor's Mansion for starters, and the campaign headquarters of J.D. Hayworth as a secondary strike, I need McCain re-elected, he might be a bozo, but I can depend on him."

Admiral Mullen: "Sir, you simply cannot declare war on the individual States..."

0bama: "Sure I can, 'stroke of the pen, law of the land', who said that, Leon Trotsky?"

Admiral Mullen: "At this point, anything is possible..."

It actually took about 10 days to discern McCain the winner. It was that close. Of course STL and KC were the only areas that voted for Soetoro, along with a could of river counties..

[OCCASparky]

The only reason, IMO, he’s polling in the low- to mid-40’s now is all of his “fluff girls” in the MSM like Chrissy Tingles, et al. If they covered Obama like they covered Bush, even his own mother wouldn’t like him (were she still alive).
