John Kerry Explains Dem Woes: Voters are Stupid
**Written by Doug Powers
John Kerry has a sinking feeling about the election in November, so he’s trying a new tactic to sway people to vote Democrat: Insulting their intelligence:
A testy U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry yesterday blamed clueless voters with short attention spans for the uphill battle beleaguered Democrats are facing against Republicans across the nation.
“We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening,” Kerry told reporters after touring the Boston Medical Center yesterday.
Every coffin needs a nail, so, as he’s done many times in the past, John Kerry has answered this call to service. Uninformed moronic serfs will supply the hammer on November 2nd.
If this doesn’t bump up Dem poll numbers, Kerry’s going to start riffing with the “voters mommas are so fat…” jokes to see if that helps.
Have Thurston & Lovey written Massachusetts a check yet for the Bay State luxury taxes they avoided on the SS Rhode Island? (Wait, I’m not supposed to remember that because of my short attention span and all, so nevermind)
Update: dutt80 via Twitter: Didn’t he say the same about soldiers?

Sadly, I think this accurately describes a large percentage of voters. However, I don’t think Kerry would like the results of an electorate which did pay more attention, so he shouldn’t be complaining.
“We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening,”
Yes we can! Hope not fear! Change you can believe in!
Are kerry’s forearms larger than his biceps in that picture?
What’s next Jawn (aka cowardly punk)? Want to take away our voting privilege?
Actually, I hope all these d’s keep up their talking trying to say the voters are stupid. It just shows how stupid they are thinking we are not informed. Many voters are not, but I think a vast majority know whats going on and will vote Nov. 2 to retake the house and hopefully the senate!
L
BTW, I should clarify a bit.
Kerry is annoyed, and the Dems are in trouble because voters are paying more attention.
Yeah, those slaves never appreciated having all of their needs care for either. Sleep, eat, work… No bills to pay, no worrying about crop prices, no politicians to pay off, just eat, sleep and work. Heaven on earth for ingrates.
Most colonists were indifferent and uninformed in 1776 too. In fact, more are informed and involved today. It’s not so much “how many” as it is “who”. Apparently, Kerry is not on the mailing list for those studies that consistently show that conservatives are better informed, more educated, and more involved than the liberal space cadet counterparts.
“An electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention”
“Are influenced by a simple slogan”
Pretty much sums up the world view of the Progressive/fascist/socialist and sadly all too much of the Republican Party leadership. Yes we are but mere children to be nudged, prodded and pushed for our own good. They will drag us kicking and screaming into the Brave New World so that we may do what be for born to do: Serve our betters.
But then I have had a hatred for Comrade Kerry ever since his perjured testimony before the HalfBrite Committee in 1971. Lets hope for some change.
===
Let your sidearm be like American Express:
Don’t Leave home without it.
You do have a point there. If the dumocrats who voted for Obama would wake up, they would NEVER vote for a liberal again. Kerry better hope they stay stupid.
By the way, I is so stoopid, I think I wil vote for those dumb conserbativz this election cuz they is stoopid too and we can all stupidly save our republic.
Not only do observe, but we have looooong memories.
Si! Se Puede!
I forgot what we can do, but, by golly, Yes We Can! Kinda sticks with ya, don’t it.
Arizona:
Kerry was on the first ballot I ever cast in 1972 as he had carpetbagged his way to run for Congress in my district. I used to pass his campaign office all the time. People knew very little about him at first except that he was reportedly a famous “war hero” and had big connections. He led big in the polls until the VFW and American Legion figured him out and exposed him for being the traitor that he is.
He got trounced in the election and it was assumed that his political career was over, until Dukakis made him Lieutenant Governor. This guy went from being an unelectable traitor to senator which is why he has so little respect for voters. That is why we have such a lousy government. Even when we know our guy sucks, we elect him anyway.
John Kerry? He’s already demonstrated to be a loser.
Be quite loser.
Dang, it stinks to goof up a snarky comment. Loser says, quite –> quiet.
Thank you very much MR KERRY for your insight… The real problem with voters, MR KERRY, is that they are finally getting their HEADS out of their HINEYS, and paying a lot of attention… Come November 2nd, MR KERRY, you will see just how STUPID we are… I can see NOVEMBER from my HOUSE!!!
Hey John, why the long face?
Frankly, he’s right; that’s why he’s been able to stay in office. But things have changed a bit, and his time my be limited. You see Mr. Kerry, the sleeping giant is now awake; and he’s not happy.
Hope and Change
Kerry does have a point. After all, we have a
PresidentTeleprompter of the United States that ran on these two words!It is sad to see just how far the “Cradle of Democracy” has sunk into socialism. John Kerry tells the voters that they are stupid, and they must be, they keep electing these traitors into office.
Yep…..Voters WERE stupid.
I was wondering who would say it! Might as well be you!
I often wonder: what happened to Massachusetts, the birth place of the Revolution-the place when when told “Damn rebels lay down your arms” they said “NO” forcefully you might put it.
Massachusetts and all America needs such people again and Kerry ain’t it.
===
An Armed Society is a polite society.
Swirling the bowl, Kerry latest in sport.
BTW in case anyone doesn’t know it, John Kerry served in Vietnam!
I was kinda hoping for a “voters mommas are so fat”… tangent.
My submission: Voters mommas are sooo fat that when they jump up in the air, they get stuck.
(that shouldn’t be tough to top)
Doug, you crack me up!
OMG!!! Kerry essentially described the “YES WE CAN!,” “HOPE & CHANGE” crowd who voted for Obama! If anyone isn’t paying attention, it’s the bunch who think that THE ONE has us on the “right path towards recovery.” If anyone’s political philosophy can be summed up on a bumper-sticker, it’s a DEMOCRAT.
Mr. Kerry, I’ll stick with the CONSTITUTION, DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, and our FOUNDING FATHERS. The only thing that you and your ilk have are meaningless slogans and catch-phrases.
Was he referring to “Hope ‘n Change ” maybe.
There was a time when riff-raff like Kerry either were tarred and feathered, shot, or hanged. Nowadays, they’re adored and respected. It just goes to show how far we’ve degraded. Personally, I think we are at a point of no-return. Our “government” (protection racket) cannot be fixed. It must be uprooted, destroyed, and we must start all over again.
Let’s go for three of three!
Yes indeed-dead trees should be up rooted and replaced.
He must wonder how that can be when 80-90% of all college professors are liberals along with the vast majority of demonstrators are left wing, Marxist indoctrinated, students.
We got it right the first time. But Lowell isn’t MA. Boston dominates MA. What happened in AZ with McCain? What’s the difference? MA Republicans always seemed to run bozos against Kerry too. See the problem? You need to kill the monster when you have a chance and worry about the replacement later.
Thank you John Kerry. I cheer every time I hear or read about liberals describing the average American as being stupid. It hammers one more nail in the coffin of liberalism each time. I see from the top to bottom. From the White House down to comments to the editor in my local paper. This is the how liberals think. Every single one of them. As they lose power they bleat it even more, accelerating their downfall. And they still do not understand why they are losing. They truly cannot grasp why they are not winning converts to their side when they insult them.
When Dems complained about Bush, I just told them it was their fault he was president. They are the ones who ran Gore and Kerry against them. Who is next, Ayers?
I really do no know; conventional wisdom (seldom correct) has it that his $21 million ad campaign smearing his opponent, every newspapaer and TV station was on his side and the brass hats wanted to protect Arizona’s senority in the Senate. But I am still befuddled how he could convince ANYONE he was for border enforcement after McCain-Kennedy, after years of whining about Big Money in politics he of McCain-Feingold spends more than anyone here ever has.
Sorry Pasadena Phil, but I do not have the answer. How so many everywhere can sell their birthright so cheaply stuns me to the core. But I am working on the Jan Brewer campaign in an administrative role: delivering yard signs to individuals and driving the people who put up signs on the street and just about anything else they may ask me.
One foot in front of the other good people, one foot in front of the other.
Fixed it for you there, John Kerry.
Now do you understand, simpleton?
John, did you read the bills for which you voted this session?
No?
I didn’t think you had.
How does it feel to have Scott Brown in the seat long held by Teddy Kennedy, knowing that you’re next?

Lucky thing for Kerry that the people don’t fully understand “what’s happening.” If they did, guillotines would be erected in public squares across America. The people’s revenge would be terrible and, everywhere, know-all blue bloods like himself would tremble. (I find myself staring dreamily off into the distance…a faint smile discernible at the corners of my mouth.)
Don’t worry, Mr. Kerry, we will remember that you called us idiots with short attention spans. Keep it up and your next two years in Washington are going to be quite lonely as more and more of your socialist friends are sent packing…
Kerry is a perfect example for what ails the GOP. He is widely mocked in MA and yet the GOP refuses to run a good candidate against him. It’s what Mark Levin keeps attacking about the GOP, the declaration that the country is permanently divided between “red” states and “blue” states.
This started in CA where we still don’t have a Republican party. Chuck Devore should be the GOP candidate running against Boxer right now but American conservatives would rather fight against the Delaware GOP elites than the CA GOP elites.
Just think where we would be today had AZ topples McPalin-endorsed McCain and McPalin-endorsed Fiorina. I can’t tell you how stupid those two endorsements were.
We didn’t let Orrin Hatch get away with his lame “right thing to do”, “personal loyalty” excuse for keeping now former Republican Sen Murky in her committee chair. Why did we let McPalin get away with it? We need to discard our blinders and be consistent.
Somewhere along the way, McPalin will have to tell us which side she is on and which of here endorsement reflect here true principles. Until she does, she is a compromised candidate who looks more like a stalking horse for the GOP establishment elite. Let’s hope she is OUR snake.
Kerry was barely smart enough to marry Republican money.
c-o-r-r-e-c-t-i-o-n (to my #41)
“blue blood by marriage“
Clueless voters? Ha, just you wait John, just you wait.
I enjoy goofing on Kerry as much as anyone, but recall that before Sarah Palin was John McCain’s running mate, McCain was almost John Kerry’s running mate. That tells you a lot about the state of American politicians. So how much have they changed in six years? What is also telling is that Bush should have stomped Kerry in 2004 but instead barely beat him. That was the clue-by-4 that there was going to be serious trouble ahead. Did the Republicans listen? Take a wild guess.
I could of swore he said all the stupid people in this country were sent to Iraq and Afghanistan? I guess a few of them made it back alive.
Kerry Belittles U.S. Troops
Jim Demint risked supporting conservatives in California. He’s my man. He fights for conservatives, not Republicans. Palin? The new Gingrich.
Since 1971 the punk. If not the guillotine than a scaffle, tree or light post would do.
I can hardly argue with Jon Cary. Can you say:
Rangel
Obama
Boxer
Kerry
McCan’t
Pelosi
…
Feel free to add.
I pray daily that the new trend is for the sleepers to awaken and kick some arse soon. Then, Rangel gets the nob. It would seem that the democraps DEPEND on stoopid voters.
So “Hope” and “Change” are out?
Duh-h-h…or if you are Cass Sunstein, “Doh!”
I think mainstream Americans are finally tired of ignoring those “Kick me!” signs the progressives (from both parties) have been sticking on their backs time and again.
Harry Calahan (Dirty Harry) had a great observation when he compared dirtbags to dogsh*t…
“Only three things happen to dogsh*t: You step in it, and wipe it off your shoes; you scoop it up and throw it in the trash; or, you can ignore it, and it’ll dry up and blow away.”
I prefer the more proactive course of action…scooping it up and trashing it as you find it.
Congressial droppings are unmistakeable…
it stinks,
it tries hiding amongst us,
it tries to convince us it’s something pleasant and aromatic,
it contaminates anything that comes in contact with it,
it attracts flies, and other vermin.
They not only love their own handiwork, but other dogs are attracted to it as well.
If not the guillotine than a scaffle, tree or light post would do.
How ’bout a little respect! Aristocrats deserve a proper sendoff. (Lampposts are for peasants like Il Duce.) ~grin~
To quote Ed Grimley,
“He got trounced in the election and it was assumed that his political career was over, until Dukakis made him Lieutenant Governor.”
Lt Gov is an elective office in Mass.
Kerry won on the Dukaksi-Kerry ticket in 1982.
Boy, Kerry sure leaves a mighty stain wherever he goes. Check out the water surrounding him in the above photo. He turned blue water into shades of septic green. I’ll bet he gets very few pool-party invites.
Well that makes sense, then; Lurch was obviously there to pick up his meds.
Tuh-RAY-zuh makes him squeeze every last drop of ketchup out of the bottle before she gives him a new one.
The most pathetic part of all this is that Kerry sincerely believes that HE and knee-jerk reactionary Democrat voter are the ones who get it, and those of us who actually know anything about US civics and history are the dim-wits.
According to Civic Literacy Report, college educators averaged 55% on their civics quiz, which I’m sure that Kerry would flunk, even if he used Wikipedia to help him. This is yet another in a long list of cases where the liberal projects his own faults and shortcomings upon his political enemies. (I wonder how many times he hollered “yes we can!” since 2008…)
So is vice-president and the Lt Gov has zero responsibilities which is even less than the Gov of TX. There was absolutely no reason whatsoever for Dukakis to put Kerry on the ticket. He added nothing. No one voted for Kerry. Get the point?
I’m afraid I have to partially agree with Kerry. HIS voters are stupid. Why else would they continue to vote for an arrogant, American hating dunce like John Kerry? And why else would they allow “simple slogans” from Obama to blind them to “the facts or the truth” about him. They were the ones (the useful idiots) Obama and the democrats had been waiting for.
Kerry has stature as the poster boy for “Bogus Basturd”. I periodically listen to some of the MA citizens, and Kerry’s reelection doesn’t surprise me. The MA voters (not all) are the problem, Kerry is the result of that problem.
If caning is ever an authorized punishment in the US, I volunteer to do this SOB.
Well Senator, if you had the courage to show up at town meetings prepared to discuss the facts behind the Simulus, TARP, Cap and Trade. Compreheansive Immigration Reform, and Obamacare you might find the voters a TAD more likeable.
When you hide in the dark like a cockroach and have no desire to provide what the substance of what these pieces of legislation mean that you and your buddies have and tried to ram through, then you get what you get.
Stop whining and man up for what’s coming.
Kerry doesn’t know any intelligent people. If he had met one, that person would have run away from him so fast. He’s not a MENSA member either.
OT, but…
Senator DeMint is the real thing, I mentioned on another thread yesterday that Herman Cain has declared he’s running for the presidency and I wouldn’t have to think twice to vote for him, that goes for Senator DeMint also…there really are some good solid conservatives out there..McPalin not so sure…what is exactly is her stance on immigration, same McAmnesty? Close the boarders then create a path citizenship for the illegals that have broken the law in coming here?
Did he serve in Vietnam? I forget.
do you mean John “I cut myself shaving in vietnam and got a medal” kerry?
better known as Lurch?? uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
whose visit to Cambodia is SEARED in his memory?
but he never went there….
whatever you say lurch…
oh yeah don’t forget he’s a self-admitted WAR CRIMINAL
He gets phootgraphed in a body condom and we’re the stupid ones? hmmmmmm…..
Gee, I thought it was those same “short attention spans” they were counting on when they rammed ObamaCare down our throats. It’s those darn Tea Partiers keeping us long-attentioning!
We just didn’t appreciate all the wonderful things they did for us using our money. We aren’t buying their BS anymore so that make us stupid. Well, we may be stupid enough to force them out of their jobs and they may not be stupid enough to see that coming.
Apparently more than the governor of California. He has so little to do you just hire actors to play the part.
Can this guy find something else to do like count his wife’s money?

There once was an excessive liberal named John…
…Nantucket.
Easily swayed by slogans like “Hope & Change” and “Yes, We can!”?
I guess he’s right…
Kerry has perfectly described his constituents: mental midgets who love meaningless mantra’s, and word plays.
Bush lied, people died.
You cant hold a baby with nuclear arms.
Yes, we can.
Republicans are the “R” (reverse) and dems are the “D” (drive) in your car…
We can’t drill our way out of this crisis
and other similar drivel.
Kerry: You rang?
Doubtful, unless someoned help him dial the number.
The ruling class is just bitter. They cling to incumbencey or entitled status or antipathy to people who aren’t like them.
Good one, Flyoverman!
Au contrrare Monsieur Kerry. The problem for Democrats is that finally people are paying attention
Well, I want to say something nice about pResident Obama. Of all the presidents we’ve had with the last name of Obama, his economic plan ranks first.
But unemployment under Obama is worse than it ever was during the 20 years of Bush-Clinton-Bush.
He’s still having problems with the right wing.
And possibly my favorite,
It will be so sweet to tell him the same thing in 2014…
(when he’s up for re-election)
Join us Senator Kerry and we won’t put a wind farm out our front window.
Now you know why Kerry wears a condom for a hat….
I deeply apologize (once again) for my state’s moronic choice of senator. And “Representatives”.
Just how badly has Obama lost Independents?
In the last 20 months, he’s gone from +12 to -35 among Independents!
(That represents a current -35 rating among Independents, as compared to his +12 rating among Independents on the day before his inauguration.)
Source: Demographic Notes – Barack Obama Approval Index
Obama won in 2008 by winning over Independents…
now he’s going to lose Congress because he’s lost Independents…
Uh…you’re a little late with that Jon eFing Cary.
Far too many were influenced by some “Yes we can” crap in 2008…but they are paying attention now.
By the way, were you wearing your body condom like you did at NASA when you were touring?
Hey, Lurch, Morticia wants you to peel her another grape.
Right. A slogan like Hope and Change.
Voters were sure stupid/ignorant/moronic/etc to ever vote for elitist John F’n Kerry. His remarkable record of ‘service’ as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee from 1993 to 2001 is highlighted by his attending a whopping 25% of the public hearings of that committee. In fact, the year after the FIRST World Trade Center bombing attack in late 1993, there were four committee hearings that included testimony concerning how to prevent future terrorist attacks like the one on the WTC tower. Kerry took the extra determination to attend ZERO of those hearings in 1994.
Bush NAILED Kerry with the damning truth during the 2004 election but back then, yes, there were many stupid voters who didn’t pay attention and voted for Kerry anyway – I surmise that all of them were democrats.
Yes everywhere I go these days people are talking about the weather, the kids, the price of tea in China. Last weekend I had dinner with an old friend and his family. He owns a large commercial painting company which is down to him and one employee from having 30 employees 3 years ago. His son is one of those laid off, and he is going into the government as his dad readies for permanent shutdown and retirement. I visited a plant sale company yesterday and he questioned whether he could survive as his business was off 60% from 2 years ago, and his property tax went up 10% this year. Everywhere I go, the ONLY conversation people are having is what a mess these tax and spend communists have made of the economy in just a few short years. There isn’t a single small business in America that isn’t very concerned for it’s future, and scrimping on everything to stay alive. SO THURSTON AND LOVEY, WHY DON’T YOU LEAD BY EXAMPLE AND PAY YOUR BOAT FEES AND QUIT CALLING US STUPID BECAUSE WE TOO DON’T ACCEPT COMMUNIST CONFISCATORY TAX POLICY.
thanks for saying it for me, ITTRP–I can’t stand that usurping female.
Kerry still has enough money to throw at his “stupid” liberal voters, enough in fact, to mold their views using tried and true political spin (we call it lying,) and to have them re-elect him.
If I were running for office, my message would be most important, and I would hope that my constituency would be smart enough to understand a simple message, without the need for clarification. It would be an embarrassment to be elected by an ignorant, easily swayed electorate…unless all I cared about was obtaining, or maintaining power.
Those who have succumed to the intoxication of power, will never admit to that addiction, nor ever willing to relenquish it, even under threat of prosecution for corruption, tax evasion, and/or perjury. Their fingers always point away from themselves, claiming with straight faces, “my hands are clean!”
Yes We Can!

Change you can believe in
