Claire McCaskill: Missouri Voters Too Stupid to Realize What’s Good For Them

Okay, the Missouri Senator didn’t phrase it exactly that way, but that’s what she said.



On Tuesday, Missouri voters overwhelmingly rejected a federal mandate to purchase health insurance.



Naturally, that’s just because most voters didn’t understand the product and are incapable of wrapping their heads around the totally awesome creamy goodness that is Obamacare:



McCaskill said she understood what Missouri voters had been trying to say about the healthcare reform law for which she had voted in the Senate. But the centrist senator downplayed the vote as a result of heavy Republican primary turnout and a lack of education about the effects of the law.



“I certainly noticed the vote on Prop C, the healthcare law, and: message received,” she said Wednesday in a conference call with state reporters.



“I think there has been … a lot of noise about the mandate that people have gotten so focused on that they don’t realize that there’s going to be more access and affordability and more choices,” she said.

It’s too bad for the Senator doesn’t understand that even us rubes, hicks, hayseeds, simpletons and peasants have asked ourselves a very simple question that answers itself: If everybody’s going to like it so much, why does it have to be mandated?
