RUSH: I must admit to you today that we have a new American dream. The new immediate American dream is no longer owning a house, can we admit that? I mean, that\u2019s a fantasy. The new American dream is repealing Obamacare. The overwhelming passage of Proposition C in Missouri, this is the first vote and maybe you can look at it almost as a poll. The first vote on the new American dream: Removing Obama from our lives and repealing Obamacare. Not just Obamacare but Obama and his entire unconstitutional prosperity?killing policies and agenda. The new American dream obviously is to retain the Constitution as written.<\/p>\n

It is amazing, 72% of the people in Missouri voted to repeal Obamacare, 79% in Cape Girardeau County, which is my county. This is stunning news to a lot of people. Cannot believe this happened. The political class, the ruling class inside the Beltway is in a state of denial about this as is the partisan political operative media, and this is the closest indication we\u2019ve had to a public poll on this. This is called a landslide, folks, 71, 72%.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019m noticing during the commercial breaks that State-Controlled Media, partisan political operatives, the left, the Democrat Party is trying to spin the Missouri results. Well, of course a bunch of Republicans, a bunch of Tea Party people showed up. What would you expect? This is nothing earth-shattering. Well, well, well. So they are already trying to spin this huge defeat for Obama as no big deal, it\u2019s just the extremists in the Tea Party. So we\u2019ll have to set that straight.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Now the regime has been given a huge wake-up call in Missouri, and they and their partisan political operatives in the media are trying to spin this. Of course, of course it\u2019s just a bunch of Republicans showing up. We know this is going to happen in November. The Republicans are far more energized. It\u2019s just these Tea Party extremists. No, no, no. More people showed up to vote yesterday than have showed up in Republican and Democrat primary elections. Missouri is a ‘Show-Me\u2019 state and they showed people. That\u2019s all you need to know about Missouri or Missourah, depending on your preference. Seventy-two percent voted to get rid of, repeal, to state their opposition. McCain only carried Missouri by 1 percentage point, 50-49%. It took ten days to finally count that. Don\u2019t tell me that this is just the Tea Party showing up to vote. This is Democrats showing up to vote. This is independents showing up to say ‘We don\u2019t want this. We don\u2019t want any part of Obamacare.\u2019 <\/p>\n

The New York Times, Monica Davey: ‘Missouri Voters Reject Health Law — Missouri voters on Tuesday easily approved a measure aimed at nullifying the new federal health care law, becoming the first state in the nation where ordinary people –‘ it actually says that ‘– made known their dismay over the issue at the ballot box.\u2019 Ordinary people. As opposed to who? The ruling class? The political class? ‘The measure was intended to invalidate a crucial element of President Obama\u2019s health care law — namely, that most people be required to get health insurance or pay a tax penalty. Supporters of the measure said it would send a firm signal to Washington about how this state, often a bellwether in presidential elections, felt about such a law.\u2019 You know, it\u2019s good to have this. It\u2019s great to have this vote on record, but we already know what most people in this country think of this. We\u2019ve had polling data on it for months now. Those people don\u2019t like it. They didn\u2019t like it before it was voted on. The Democrats have been governing against the will of the people for 18 months now. ”My constituents told me they felt like their voices had been ignored and they wanted Washington to hear them,\u2019 Jane Cunningham, a state senator and Republican who had pressed for a vote, said Tuesday night. ‘It looks to me like they just picked up a megaphone.”<\/p>\n

Later in the New York Times story it says: ‘For some, the outcome was not merely about health care, but about the role of states in setting policy. ‘This really wasn\u2019t an effort to poke the president in the eye,\u2019 said State Senator Jim Lembke, a Republican. ‘First and foremost, this was about defining the role of state government and the role of federal government. Whether it\u2019s here in Missouri with health care or in Arizona with illegal immigration, the states are going to get together on this now.” The states are the last line of defense against this encroaching federal agenda. Yeah, it was a poke in the eye, but what Senator Lembke is saying is that it wasn\u2019t an effort to poke. He\u2019s right. He\u2019s saying, ‘We didn\u2019t do this just to embarrass Obama. We did this because we mean it.\u2019 But it ends up being a poke in the eye. They didn\u2019t do it for spite. They did it because they genuinely don\u2019t like it.<\/p>\n

Ed Morrissey at HotAir.com, this is the full quote from his analysis: ‘Bear in mind that over 315,000 Democrats turned out to cast ballots in the primary that nominated Robin Carnahan, while over 577,000 Republicans hit the polls. That is about a 65\/35 split — which means that a significant amount of Democrats either supported the ballot measure repudiating Obamacare, or didn\u2019t bother to cast a vote to defend the program. Actually, Prop C got more votes than the combined voting in both Senate primaries — which tells us something even more about the passion in the electorate,\u2019 over this issue. And the Democrats and the media are trying to spin this as just a Tea Party vote, just a Republican vote. Remember, McCain barely eeked out a one percentage point win in the State of Missouri. So this is a big poke in the eye, whether it was intended to be or not. It\u2019s not just the health care reform. The message here: It\u2019s the socialism, stupid, and we don\u2019t want it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
