Senator Kerry: Angry Voters Not Paying Attention

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.

Conservative political blogger William Jacobson, who writes Legal Insurrection, immediately pounced on Kerry’s comments, saying that sort of attitude is why voters are looking to shake up Capitol Hill by electing upstart candidates such as U.S. Sen. Scott Brown.

“It just continues the Democrats’ theme that the reason people are upset is because they don’t understand. They’re not smart enough. That sort of rhetoric just gets people even more upset,” said Jacobson.

John Kerry is an idiot. Thankfully he didn't make it to be our President but his elitist status has him so far out in "Left" field that he does not know what the interest of the American People is.

John Kerry is an idiot. Since the Clinton administration up to the current administration, my personal and professional life has decline. All I have seen from the formal up to the present administration is corruption, greed, lies, infidelity, unwelcome bail-outs and etc. etc, etc.

For the republican to offer promises to the American People is a bunch of bull. They have lied to cover up the real reason for the "Promise" to America They want to privatize the veterans administration, medicare and social security department of the federal government.

The democrats continues to tell one lie after another. They don't even have the "Balls" to stand up and fight for the people.

And, for the tea party members, I have absolutely nothing to say about this group except, all you guys and gals are jokers.

This country right know is being govern by packs of dogs and wolves. The corruption is so bad, it's not worth talking about anymore.

You people don't have my vote. Let the "rich" continue to rule this country. My vote is more valuable then to waste it on a bunch of fools.

And, for that O'Donnell character, she needs to crawl back into the dirt she came out of.

Kerry was 100% right on. The Dem. problems have been that although they use plenty of spin, Reps. are truley masters at stoking emotions with half truths and fear mongering. And everyone knows that the US public has a short attention span. An unfortunate side effect of the 24 hour news cycle.
