Missouri rejects the Pelosi-Obama Rationed Health Care Plan
All eyes were on Missouri today. The Show Me voters were voting for or against the new federal health care law.
Missouri showed Obamacare the door.
FOX KC reported:
Election officials are hoping the heat won’t keep people from getting out to vote. One of the hottest races in Missouri is Proposition C. It’s an issue that is getting a lot of attention across the country.
All eyes will be on Missouri’s Proposition C results because it’s the first time voters in the country vote for or against the new federal health care law. Basically Proposition C would create a state law against federal mandates requiring people to buy health insurance.
Missouri’s top U.S. Senate candidates are divided on the measure. If passed, it will will reject part of the new federal health care law. Republicans Roy Blunt and Chuck Purgason both support Proposition C. Democrat Robin Carnahan plans to vote against it.
Christie Herrara has more on Prop C at Big Government.
Republicans today were out in force to vote in the primaries. This likely helped Proposition C in Missouri.

Wow! What a rout!
As for your, "I will go to prison before I buy any health care insurance," proclamation. That's a sentiment that crosses party lines because me and Keith Olbermann could be your cellmates. (Scary thought!)
