Missouri Health Care Freedom, Proposition C

[TomCat84]

Correction: you're all for democracy as long as 1) it conforms to your interpretation of the Constitution, and 2) you like the result.

Imagine if there had been a referendum on the Iraq war: "Prop A: you can't send Missouri boys to die in Iraq." You would have creamed over that. It would have been the triumph of the people. Instead, the people are saying, "hey, socialist, we want our liberties back."

Ok, so in addition to tell the "socialist" they want their liberties back, they also want to tell him to keep his government hands off their Social Security check and Medicare plan...I'm sorry- I don't put too much stock into a meaningless referendum in Missouri. They're all missing the point. The threat to their liberties comes from rich old white businessmen on Wall Street, not the government forcing everyone to get healthcare.

It would be great if the government would quit raiding Social Security to pay for their rich friends to have nice things. I'd like to get something back on my investment.

Wall Street isn't taking away people liberties, they are responsive to what people need and want; ie, market forces. The liberals have shown that they don't care about being responsive (ie, how the voters think). I'd take my chances with Wall Street any day.

What the hell do YOU think is going to happen? As you said, it's going to be more than those that voted to ban gay marriage. That doesn't mean that Congress is going to go ahead and ban gay marriage.

gay marriage has never passed by voters in any state.

That's a dishonest answer.
Same sex marriage did pass by votes in the six states that now approve it. Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Washington, D.C. They passed through voters in the state's Congress. Now if you want to use the rhetoric that all laws should be voted on by the American people, keep in mind that even the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 wasn't voted on by the public.

You pretty much missed my point 100%....

It's amazing how brutal mean liberals get when you start telling them you don't want their "fix". I've been saying all along that liberals don't care if people live or die (see post above) this is about a socialist president trying to pass as much socialism as he can before he loses re-election; and the liberals want on the bandwagon so they can say, "You get _______ benefit, and I brought it to you. Helped you right out of your own shit. *pats own back*"

Don't defame others by grouping them with me, I'm hardly a liberal or a socialist.

Yeah, I prefer to think of myself as more of a Mugwump.
