71% of the voters in Missouri recently cast their votes in opposition to the main component of Obamacare. 29 out of every hundred voters don't mind if the government uses its force to coerce the purchase of personal health insurance. The remaining 71 people still value their freedom and reject the concept that Barack Obama and his henchmen and henchwomen can order you under the threat of financial penalty to purchase a product that you may not want and may not even need. Of course the members of the Democrat party and the supporters of this overreaching administration understand why 79 out of every 100 voters in Missouri said "no". They are stupid, that's all. Just listen to the proponents of forced health care insurance describe the reason for this outcome.
Missouri Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, who backed the health care law, said the results reflect the fact that voters have been bombarded with anti-government criticism of the new law and aren't fully aware of its positive aspects.
"'Big government, bad government, don't trust 'em' is a pretty simple message," said McCaskill.
When Democrat Senator McCaskill says it's a pretty simple message what she is saying is that the people who equate big government with bad government are simple people and all they can understand is a simple message. This leaves me wondering whether the folks who have voted for the likes of Senator McCaskill and President Obama realize how little respect they have for the American public. If the majority of American voters don't realize now that these Big Government folks are telling them that they are smarter than you and they know what's good for you, in spite of your beliefs and misgivings, we are in a sorry state.
I am certain that a small portion of the electorate does in fact feel that they need the government to be a parent and are willing to give up their independence in order to have the security of someone else making their decisions and promising to take care of them. I am also certain that this does not represent the majority of the American electorate. It does not represent the people who have made this country one of the great historic nations. It does not represent the people who have sacrificed for their families to provide a better life for their children and sacrificed their treasure and lives to make this a better and freer world for people from all four corners of the Globe.
Now we no longer sacrifice for the next generation. We spend their money and expect the next generation to pay the bill. What a slight of hand. From a nation of people who sacrificed for the generations to follow we now create a system which will require generations to come, even those not yet born, to sacrifice for us.
The self proclaimed Progressives, and those who support them, have perpetrated a scam on the American public. They have made promises that cannot be kept and incurred expenses that they cannot pay for. But I would suggest that the people of this nation are not as stupid as Claire McCaskill believes them to be nor as stupid as the President of the United States believes them to be. They may have been fooled by this reckless cadre of liberals who promised themselves into power but the game is up. Come November leaders who trust and believe in the people will come rolling into Washington in a huge tidal wave. The House will be controlled by fiscal conservatives and the progressives will lose their overwhelming majority in the Senate. The President will have to put down his whip and deal with legislatures who will stand for the majority and not the elite. In 2012 a new President will be elected. The only question is how much damage this President and his followers can do in the meantime. The only thing that could possibly prevent this change would be if the electorate were as stupid as Claire McCaskill and Barack Obama think they are. McCaskill and Obama are wrong about a lot of things - and one of the things that they are wrong about is the intelligence of the American voting public. It is truly the time to "throw the bums out"
