Missouri Voters Reject Obamacare

[red states rule]

I guess people read the bill and did not like it





WOW! The Show Me State showed Obamacare the door tonight.
Over 70% of Missouri voters rejected Obamacare by passing Prop c.
It’s too bad local KMOV St. Louis Channel 4 could not find any one who voted for the proposition.

Federal law usually pre-empts state law, of course... but only where the Federal law is authorized by the U.S. Constitution.

Unfortunately for the socialist Democrats, there is nothing in the Constitution that authorizes the Fed government to impose Universal Helath Care on the American people

What's bad for the Fed govt, is good for the people, though (a rule that has shown up with increasing frequency as the Obama admin passes more and more leftist legislation). The Constitution was written to ensure that the states and the people are free to make their own decisions and take the consequences, instead of having those decisions imposed upon them by a dictatorial central government, except for matters agreed by large majorities of the states and people.

Clearly, Obamacare is not one of those widely-agreed-on matters, as Missouri is now the first to prove.

Unfortunately the will of the voter isn't a concern with this administration.

Neither did the network news shows. They ignored Obama's defeat in MO





Networks Ignore Missouri Voters' Rejection of ObamaCare, Instead Celebrate Obama's Birthday


In the first voter referendum on ObamaCare, Missourians on Tuesday overwhelmingly (by 71 to 29 percent) backed Proposition C which called upon the state to enact a statute to “deny the government authority to penalize citizens for refusing to purchase private health insurance,” an outcome the St. Louis Post-Dispatch described as “rebuking President Barack Obama's administration.” On Wednesday night, however, the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts skipped the bad news for President Obama – yet all found time to celebrate his 49th birthday.

(The Missouri repudiation of a central tenet of ObamaCare came a day after another setback for ObamaCare which the newscasts also ignored: A federal district judge in Richmond rejected the Obama administration’s quest to block Virginia’s lawsuit challenging Congress’ jurisdiction to mandate individuals buy health insurance.)

“At the White House today, they sang to the President,” ABC anchor Diane Sawyer touted over a graphic which declared it Obama’s “Big Day.” Viewers were treated to one stanza of “Happy birthday to you!” before Sawyer related: “He says we've watched him go gray, and the photographs since the campaign do show a little speckle in that hair.”

Speaking of McCaskill,,,,,,





Claire McCaskill: Hey, maybe we “overpromised” on ObamaCare

Tens of thousands fewer medical bankruptcies, hundreds of thousands of lives saved, billions of dollars in wasteful medical spending cut. A new golden age of American health care. That’s what we were promised — and it’s still coming, according to McCaskill (I think). It’s just not going to happen as fast as the Democrats have been suggesting. This is the very first wiggle in the endless goalpost-moving that will characterize our new bouncing baby boondoggle in the decades to come, so enjoy it. As for her claim that the GOP is running around screaming that the sky is falling, well, yes: “The sky is falling” means that we’re now en route to single-payer health care, with a detour to a public option that’ll be passed once enough insurance companies have gone bust because they can’t cope financially with O-Care. Each step is a new threshold of crowding out private industry on the way to full-blown socialized medicine; if the left thought they could get away with it politically right now, they’d have done it already — as they’ve admitted many, many times. So yes indeed, the sky has begun to fall. If McCaskill disagrees, she’s welcome to follow that last link and ask Barney Frank and Rahm Emanuel and Jan Schakowsky etc etc whether I’m right.

Meanwhile, Jon Kyl says not to fret, that the GOP has the stomach to repeal this thing if given the numbers to do so. I’m skeptical, only because that’s not what history suggests about entitlements. Once they’re here, they’re here to stay. Which is to say, the sky is falling. Fast.

The reaction from the administration on the vote is not surprising




Gibbs dismisses Missouri vote against federal health insurance mandate
By Sam Youngman - 08/04/10 03:39 PM ET

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs flatly dismissed Missouri's vote Tuesday rejecting a key part of the healthcare law.

Gibbs said Missouri’s vote approving a ballot initiative to exempt residents from the new law requiring individuals to buy health insurance was “of no legal significance.”

Asked what it means that voters in Missouri would vote against the federal mandate, Gibbs said: “Nothing.”

Gibbs is correct that the Missouri vote doesn’t trump federal law, but it has given a boost to those calling on Congress to repeal the healthcare law.

Republicans spent much of Wednesday trumpeting the vote as a victory that sent a message of voter disapproval to the White House.

A number of states including Virginia are suing the federal government over the new law. They question the constitutionality of imposing a mandate that individuals buy insurance.

Of course, nothing in the text of Prop C (http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Missouri_Proposition_C_%282010%29,_full_text) makes any mention of Federal law, so the only effect is on what the state can or can't do. Looks fairly symbolic to me.

This symbolism is going to end with the higher federal courts slugging it out. I'm sure the No-on-C crowd will file an appeal any day, if they haven't already.

Another "symbolic" vote takes place on Nov 2

What happened in MO should tell you people do not want Obamcare and polls show about 60% want it repealed

Williams is like Obama, he JUANS all of our money. :laugh2:

Williams is like Obama, he JUANS all of our money. :laugh2:

The only problem is, with Obama's economic policies more and more people are not working and thus not paying as much in taxes as the workers are

It is the typcial result of liberalism. An ever shrinking minority pays an ever growing majority of the taxes

Things are fine until the liberals run out of other peoples money to spend
