Who Will Tell BO: Missouri's vote last night was a big Biden deal?
Missouri Secretary of State ^ | August 4 2010 | The people of Missouri

Posted on 08/04/2010 1:28:41 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Just a few short months ago, it was Joe Biden, as B.O. basked in the adulation of media and political class approval.

The American people didn't like it, of course: they said so in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Virginia.

The HEARTLAND of America spoke last night: Missouri REJECTED Obamacare by a vote of the people: 71% to 29%.

Who has the job this time of going tippy-toed into the Messiah's office this time, and telling him the truth? (Not that he cares about the truth.)

As Obama sinks, his followers may lash out. They haven’t gotten the goodies they were promised. They’re going to be told by the media that it’s because of racist white people. Obama will either let this stand without comment, or he will be an active participant.

The NYT is already trying to minimize it by saying that Republicans turned out in disproportionately large numbers because of more hotly contested primaries.

That begs the question: why didn't Democrats turn out in disproportionately large numbers to show their fervent support for Obamacare?

After some research, I see that SHANNON COUNTY (the poorest county in Missouri) voted 75% to 25% to reject ObamaCare.

The New York Slimes can suck it.

Even they have got to know how lame that sounds.

Grasping at straws.

I think the fact that there are more total votes (for and against = 938,782) on the Prop C issue than there are total votes (votes for all candidates = 898,784) for the “most important” statewide elected position (Senator) shows that the Prop C victory wasn’t just a fluke of a large turnout to vote for Senatorial candidates. This was the major issue in most peoples minds!

Does it really matter to the “I won” socialist and his gang of thugs who voted this into law? Our only hope may be the courts and I don’t think that will be an easy win with the likes of kagan sitting on the court.

71% to 29% Prop C passes.

A landslide against 0bamascare in a state that went for McCain by only 4,000 votes some 21 months ago.

0bama's failures just keep stacking up.

This is absolute perfection. I cannot wait to hear Rush, Laura Ingraham, et al. talking about it this morning. It'll be a grand day in talk radio land.

“After some research, I see that SHANNON COUNTY (the poorest county in Missouri) voted 75% to 25% to reject ObamaCare.”

Shannon County is a rural area in the Bible Belt. In 2000 population of Shannon County was 95% white, 0.17% African American, 1.83% Native American, .05% Asian. The demographic makeup of the county does not reflect the country at large, nor does it reflect the demographic makeup of poor urban districts on the east and west coast of the US where there are people who have lived in poverty on government subsistence for multiple generations. Likely those poor urban districts would vote overwhelmingly for Obamacare.

Far more votes were cast in the MO Republican primary than in the Demo primary too. Doesn’t always mean anything but it still is a good sign. Same thing with the Mich. governor primary too.

I visited an uncle-in-law a few weeks ago who I adore. But...

He’s more on the liberal side of moderate except on the health care issue. I was appalled to hear how little merit he puts in the popular feelings towards health care, and totally believes his definition of “doing the right thing” trumps the law. Public opinion be damned! Obamacare was the right thing to do, even if grossly imperfect.

It made my stomach turn...

This is interesting,now I am more confused why Republican candidates all across the Country are not out Beating this drum,Their strategy is to keep quiet and let the Democrats destroy themselves,fine, but there are some races that are close and this is a NO brainer,with this issue and immigration where there is proof now the Government has Blood on their hands in the Drunk Driver case where a Nun was Killed ,just read this from the memo and tell me the policy is not in effect and not just for information purposes,
“This memorandum offers administrative relief options to… reduce the threat of removal for certain individuals present in the United States without authorization,” it reads.

Also: “In the absence of Comprehensive Immigration Reform, USCIS can extend benefits and/or protections to many individuals and groups by issuing new guidance and regulations, exercising discretion with regard to parole-in-place, deferred action and the issuance of Notices to Appear (NTA), and adopting significant process improvements.
There it is In Black and White the Administration has BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS ON THIS ONE

I have never seen such a broad-scale expression of voter opinion. Of Missouri’s 114 counties, only 2 voted with Obama, and those were the inner counties of the Kansas City and St. Louis metro areas. Every other county voted to reject ObamaCare (tm). In one county in northern Missouri, the vote was 89.2% against.

This is an enormous reputation of the center piece of the left, not to mention of Obama. I noticed on an early CBS radio news program that this vote outcome was the last news item mentioned, and a very brief one at that. The Left is going to be in denial. That is the only way they will be able to nullify Missouri’s vote to nullify.

Let me also say that this shows there is a big difference between the BHO administration and that of Roosevelt. FDR intruded on the free enterprise economy on such a massive scale that business was prevented from recovering as long as he was alive. And FDR had the support for that intrusion for many of the early years of his terms in office.

When the only voters in a swing state who support the major plank of the party in power are the voters of the parasitic class, and when every other class repudiates that plank, the Dems have a MAJOR problem.

Maybe Senator Claire McCaskill was right: The reason the voters do not embrace the health care law is just because Dems have just not explained well enough. No, rather, the voters understand it all too well. I hope this Missouri vote is a good indicator of what we can expect to see in November.

An early example of liberal (er, “progressive”) denial of the meaning of the Prop C vote:
