Claire McCaskill – Rubber Stamp

The Missouri GOP released a statement on Claire McCaskill’s vote to nationalize health care.

MOGOP statement on McCaskill’s vote for the health care bill

JEFFERSON CITY—Lloyd Smith, Executive Director of the Missouri Republican Party, issued the following statement regarding Claire McCaskill’s vote in favor of the Democrats’ health care bill:

“This morning, Missourians woke up to find that Sen. Claire McCaskill cast the deciding vote in favor of the Democrats’ trillion dollar health care bill—a bill that was written in secret and voted on in the dead of night.

“Hundreds of millions of dollars in earmarks used to bribe Senators in states like Nebraska, Vermont, and Louisiana are buried in the McCaskill-backed bill. But Missouri will receive no such benefits—instead, Missourians will face increased premiums, Medicare cuts, and tax increases.

“Once again, Claire McCaskill has proven that her claims of fiscal responsibility are nothing more than a mirage. She has made it obvious that her loyalty rests with Barack Obama instead of the Missourians who are overwhelmingly opposed to this legislation.”

More… Here is one Missourians letter to Obama’s lackey for voting to nationalize our nation’s health care:

Dear Sen. McCaskill,

I am beyond disappointment, I am thoroughly disgusted. You — who has NEVER asked for an earmark — condoned “payoff politics” by voting in favor of cloture on the Senate Healthcare bill. This makes absolutely NO SENSE to me.

Additionally, your state DOESN’T WANT this Healthcare disaster and you have voted to stop debate. How do you reconcile that with your constituents who in the majority don’t want this? You should have voted NO on cloture and asked that all payoffs to Sen’s. Nelson, Landrieu, Dodd, etc. be removed from the bill.

This bill that co-opts the Healthcare system, restricts pay for healthcare executives (that have TAKEN NO MONEY from the Federal Gov’t in BAILOUTS) and does none of the obvious things to contain healthcare costs like across state line competition, medical liability reform, small business pooling, etc. is an absolute
travesty.

Your one vote on cloture could have stopped it. Why would you let these other Senators be bought off with deals?

You failed us. There is NO other way to say it.

I can’t even bring myself to wish you a Merry Christmas because you darn sure aren’t making mine Merry.

Thank you for your time.
U.D.

And while our heads are turned the SCOTUS just sold anyone who is against the state to the wolves.

After hearing passionate arguments from the Obama Administration, the Supreme Court acquiesced to the president’s fervent request and, in a one-line ruling, let stand a lower court decision that declared torture an ordinary, expected consequence of military detention, while introducing a shocking new precedent for all future courts to follow: anyone who is arbitrarily declared a “suspected enemy combatant” by the president or his designated minions is no longer a “person.” They will simply cease to exist as a legal entity. They will have no inherent rights, no human rights, no legal standing whatsoever — save whatever modicum of process the government arbitrarily deigns to grant them from time to time, with its ever-shifting tribunals and show trials.

Lloyd Smith is right on with this assessment of McCaskill. She will go down in history as being part of the most corrupt Congress and the worst administration EVER. I can’t wait to help campaign against this political hack.

She can’t even sell her soul well. Heck, we should have gotten the same as Louisiana, or Nebraska or Vermont.

okay… clearly there are NO moderate or conservative Democratic Senators…. only moderate or conservative states.

How are we (Missouri) represented by such a vehemently pro-abortion senator?

Anybody else having a hard time talking about the congress? It seems like all of my sentences contain the F-bomb.

My wife and I are foregoing Christmas presents this year and have escrowed $2400 to use in her next election.

And the cowards still aren’t answering their phones or emails. McCaskill’s voicemails have been full for days. This is a complete outrage perpetrated by thugs in the dark of night.

She has been gushing on about this fool since before the Dem convention and will follow him like the lackey girl she is, beholding to him and forgetting her constituency that elected her. Now to convince the city mobs that she has to go in the next election before she can sell out the rest of the country.

Does anyone know the rules and our rights in recalling of this poor excuse for a senator?
She did not listen to her constituents and knowingly voted for a bill that is not only unconstitutional but criminal.
Allowing other senators to take bribes and make back room deals is also criminal in my mind.
All of Missouri should be disgusted by this behavior.
I will personally spend my time and money making sure she is never elected to public office again.
But I would really like to see her gone before that.
Are there any conservative patriotic constitutional lawyers out there that can help us rid the congress of this vermin?

Unfortunately we are stuck with this deceitful skank until the November 2012 election.
So in order to stop the further destruction of this country, many democrats must lose thier seats in 2010. These democrat traitors want Obamacare to pass in January in the hopes that by November 2010, the voters will have forgotten thier treachery. This tactic has worked many times for them. This time, however, they will be out of socialist luck. For too many people will still be without jobs. And the rest of America will still be clinging to God, guns and wallets and the economy will stick suck. VOTE THE SCUM OUT IN 2010.

Lytnup, #5…I would have been embarrassed if anyone other than my husband heard me talking today. EVERY OTHER WORD WAS THE F WORD. That is not me. But it was today.

This is beyond words. The F word is not even enough.

Amen….What a shame she isn’t up for re-election in 2010! She’s the biggest phony in the state of Missouri! She definitely doesn’t represent the majority of her constituency that was adamantly opposed to this sham bill they call healthcare reform. McCaskill should be recalled and removed from office. She’s a traitor to the republic and the United States Constitution!

Here’s a thought: let’s all play! Don’t buy health insurance; don’t pay the fine; we all go to jail and then they have to figure out how to house us, clothe us, feed us, and pay for our medical care. Heck we can all get our college degrees (undergrad, Master’s and PhD’s), they bring the professors to us, and when we get out we owe no student loans.
Let’s help them reap what they’ve sown.
I’ve worked since I was 9, paid my own way, helped out others whenever and wherever I can, put myself through college, paid off my student loans last year and that doesn’t seem to be enough.
Let’s see what they do when all of us hard working honest Americans decide to grab some of these damn benefits we keep paying for for all the lazy butts and criminals to better our own dang lives. The prisoners at Gitmo have it better than most of us and the Democrats want us to believe they are suffering. My wild Irish a$$ they are. Just a thought;-)
All together now: How do you spell relief? 2010 & R-E-P-E-A-L
It’s going to be fun watching Barry’s level of frustration grow for his last two years in office with a Republican majority in both the House and Senate. That chin might lower after all.

Just got back from my parish’s Reconciliation service. Explained to my pastor that I wasn’t sure Reconciliation was correct setting to try to come to terms with my feelings towards the monsters who are ramming this through. One is supposed to have a firm conviction to amend offending behavior. I asked whether the Resistance was wrong to do what they did during WWII? Who fights for the unborn who are being slaughtered every day? Who fights for those of us who find abortion to be a profound evil yet still be compelled to PAY for tax-payer funded abortions? My good priest gave me some relief, but I am still wrestling mightily with this. Anyone got anything to offer that might help?

This won’t be one of thoses “start the revolution without me” deals.

Back in June, at the McCaskill townhall (held because constituents at her office were locked out and flipped off), everyone I spoke with said the same thing. McCaskill did not respond to calls, emails or letters about HealthScare.

After a month or two, you got a stupid letter about moving our nation forward together.

We are locked out and flipped off again by McCaskill. Claire was the predictable lap dog for Obama, not even feigning doubt to get any goodies for her state. I predicted that if this bill mandated the death of every first born, she’d vote for it and say, “It’s better than doing nothing.”

I cannot wait for the day when she is doing nothing.
