I have been very concerned that the dissatisfaction with President Obama has been distorted in that the far left has been disappointed and polls were not reflecting a more conservative nation worried about expansion of the federal government. Last night, Missouri lifted my spirits. Over 70% of Missouri voters approved of a provision to ban the mandatory purchase of health insurance policies in the state. While a number of state legislatures passed similar laws which are the source of the state suits against the federal government, Missouri is the first state to put the matter to a public vote. Is this overwhelming defeat a litmus test for the November elections? Probably not, as Missouri is a more conservative state than many. The huge majority vote, however, does indicate that this is a revolution from the right and that the national mood may be leaning more conservative. Now if we could just make sure Republicans read the Constitution as well...
