Any MO FReepers out there...how did the polling places look today in comparison to other non presidential year primaries?
There hasn’t been a lot of organized opposition to Propostion C because it’s pretty much a given that the courts will shoot it down. To me that’s not the point though. The point is that conservatives can now prove, by popular vote, that it’s a lie to say, “The American people support the presidents health care reforms”.
And if enough actual Americans do happen to show up in Missouri, some Clinton/Carter/Hussein appointed judge will simply OVERTURN the people’s decision!!!
No where in the article does Time mention the flimsy pretext of using the Commerce Clause to legitimize the Federal overreach, which is more at the heart of the matter than Federal preemption of State laws. Time doesn't want to mention it, because neither Time nor the Dems can defend it.
St. Louis County here...went about 1pm and I was the youngest one there by about 20 years...I’m 48...
That question should be pretty darn easy -- self-evident even!
[Amendment X]Since the Constitution does not delegate to the US (i.e. Congress) any powers regarding requiring citizens to buy health insurance, nor does it prohibit the states from legislating in these areas, then the right to exempt citizens from such unauthorized legislation by Congress is CLEARLY reserved to the states or to the people.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Prop C was the only thing that motivated me to go to the polls today.
YES WE CAN!
Missouri Hospital Association was bought off in the ObamaCare bill just like the national hospital lobby.
Doesn’t matter. The clowns that run the MHA won’t be able to stop the steamroller that is Prop C.
Slightly heavier than usual turnout (for a Primary) in mostly conservative SW St. Louis county.
I was REALLY hoping for some “intimidating” Panther presence, as I had the shotgun on board. Racking a shell into the chamber within earshot of those ignorant savages, would have given me great satisfaction.
Shouldn’t the Federal Government mandate that each citizen buy at least one apple per day? After all, by keeping the doctor away the cost to tax payers will be less.
Thoughts anyone?
I also bit the bullet and voted for Chuck Purgason. I am not sure he has a chance but I figured it is not like, by my vote, I am giving the job to Carnahan.
Note to long time Freepers. This year’s Missouri Senate debates will not include our old friend Digger. He’s not running this year. The Green Party is running some strumpet from Code Stink. I was looking forward to the debates till I found that out. Last reference on the web I could find from Digger was a rambling nutbar letter to the editor from a year ago.
