Sen. Harry Reid To Missouri Voters: You Lack Understanding On Healthcare

[twyacht]

REID TO MISSOURIANS, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND HEALTH CARE: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) last week offered another example of how out of touch he is and why he is facing the stiffest re-election challenge of his career. On the day after Missouri voters resoundingly (71% to 29%) passed “Proposition C” to block the government from mandating that individuals buy health insurance (See “Politics,” Page 21), Reid told the Wall Street Journal: “It is very obvious that people have a lack of understanding of our healthcare reform bill. The more they learn about this bill, the more they like it.” According to a study of the vote by Fox News, if all 577,615 registered Republicans who showed up at the polls in Missouri last week are counted as among the 667,680 “yes” votes on Proposition C, that means that 90,065 “yes” votes came from non-Republicans. “The Liberal Party primary had 3,502 ballots cast,” reported Fox. “The Constitution Party had 1,883. And if all those folks also voted ‘yes’ (even though it seems unlikely) … and subtract that from the non-Republican ‘yes’ votes, that leaves 84,680 non-Republican, non-Liberal, non-Constitution ‘yeses.’” Dream on, Sen. Reid.

Isn't this the same thing big Nancy told everyone as it was getting rammed through?  With no time to read a bill the size of the Library of Congress she told them to just pass it they'll like it?  Jimmy Jones told a group that as he mixed the kool-aid too!

Missouri to Prince Harry...
No Harry....we understand it just fine.  
We just don't want it!

What part of the word NO! is so hard for You, Nancy and BHO to understand?

It was a real pleasure for me to Vote Yes on Prop C and is proving to be one of the most Memorable votes of my life...it rates right up there with the first time I ever voted, when at the age of 18....I helped Vote President Ronald Regan into office for his first term.

The problem rat, is that these arrogant, condescending, elitist assholes have never before been TOLD no.  Pretty much the same reason so many celebrities get in trouble with the law, or go into rehab.

That's why I sincerely hope there are a lot of sore political assholes around November 3rd.

I do too Peg, but I just have this really bad feeling. I am afraid of waking up on Nov. 3rd, and watching the talking heads wringing their hands and full of glee. Maybe 12-15 seats flipped, but the majority staying there. Same crew. Running for the microphones to announce that the extremist "teabaggers" are a bunch of racist that were unable to sway the voters. Over the next 2 years there will be allegations, and even proof of massive voter fraud, but as always they will be downplayed, and left un-investigated. Socialists rarely eat there own.

Hate to agree with you but......

They really don't want to do that, politicians will start turning up in trees and dumpsters since no one will retain any faith in the voting process.

I hope you're right Tom, but I think that they have become so completely detached, they think that people don't have the intestinal fortitude to go after them. Look at how they treated their constituents last summer at the town hall meetings over health care. They don't care. They think that they are above the law, and above the Constitution. I sadly believe they think we are too stupid, and too lazy to hold them accountable, and the worst part is that as far as about 45% of the country goes, THEY'RE RIGHT.

Actually that would be more like 52%  Wasn't that BHO's margin of victory?
