You just have to hand it to the Democrats, nobody can insult people more than they. If remarks from Senator John Kerry (D-MA) about American voters being ignorant were not bad enough, Vice President Joe Biden added to the folly yesterday. Appearing at a fundraiser for Paul Hodes, who is running for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire, Joe Biden told the Democrat base to ’stop whining’ about Barack Obama. Various factions within the Democrats all have a beef about Obama, ranging from anti-war groups mad about our continued involvement overseas to Socialists who think Obama is not going far or fast enough with transforming America.
Both Biden and Obama are cautioning their political base about the lack of enthusiasm for the fall mid-term elections in November. President Obama recorded a ‘robo-call’ message along this line, encouraging people to get active. He tells Democrats that you cannot get excited and vote once every ten years. In New Hampshire, Biden assured ‘the base’ that Obama has done ‘an incredible job’ and that ‘He’s kept his promises.’
Today, both Obama and Biden head ‘back to school’. President Obama will appear at the University of Wisconsin and VP Biden will be at Pennsylvania State University. Every single poll shows the Democrats losing control of the House of Representatives. Some 54 seats appear to be in the bag for GOP victories. Polling data shows perhaps another 20 or so in doubt. What’s more, in over 100 districts nationwide, there is practically no polling data at all. With the current mood of anti-incumbency and a wholesale rejection of Obama’s economic agenda and health care reform, November could be a very bad for Democrats.
Both Biden and Obama now admit that if the November election winds up being a referendum on the economy, Democrats will lose. Both are urging their base to consider what may happen if the GOP wins control of the House, and even the Senate. Former White House ‘green jobs czar’, Van Jones is also out stumping for the Democrat base to get in gear. He recently spoke in California warning “If you think things are bad now, what will happen when the people are screaming and yelling at these Tea Party events are actually in charge of your government, and in charge of your life and in charge of your kids’ future?”
Jones forgets to point out that if the Tea Party has it’s way, government won’t be ‘in charge of your life’. The whole idea the Tea Party advocates is for a smaller, less intrusive government. But, that is beyond the comprehension of people like Van Jones, Joe Biden and Barack Obama. They see government as needing to be as large and as intrusive as possible, since, as John Kerry points out, Americans are too ignorant to be in charge of their own lives. For Obama and like-minded Progressives, government must have power over all of us.
With just five weeks to go before the November mid-term elections, it may be too late for Joe Biden and Barack Obama to get the Democrat base to ’stop whining’ and energize them. I have heard the recording Obama made for the ‘robo-call’ message and it is BORING! He should of asked his pal and former spiritual minister, Jeremiah Wright to make it. At least Wright has a pulse and can show some emotion. Unlike stiffs like Joe Biden, Barack Obama and John Kerry.
Someone suffering from depression should not be told to “snap out of it.” It doesn’t help.
These two are doing more to convert Dims to Republican than we ever could!
Kerry himself proves his case.
The mind numb Demorat dopes need a command from their handlers to function.
Oh yes, just keep talking Obama and Biden. Keep talking about how great the Obamacare bill is and how bad George Bush and the Republican obstructionist are, that will so motivate your base to get out there and punish those Bush lovers and Republican obstructionists!!!
“These two are doing more to convert Dims to Republican than we ever could!”
Indeed. Maybe it’s too much to hope for, since their brains are wired backwards, but I’d like to imagine that even Democrats who, in a dull, sluglike way are already vaguely dissatisfied with their Chosen One don’t like being lectured to and insulted by their political leaders.
Beautiful! The Democrats don’t seem to realize that this “voters are stupid” line works with their voter base when they’re talking about Republican voters. It does not work so well when they are telling their own base that they’re a bunch of ingoramouses. Ironically, that’s mostly true, and so the Democrats are getting themselves into trouble by telling the TRUTH (for a change) to their own constituents.
They had better listen to Joe Biteme. He’s a big f*&^ing deal.
For them, it's a win-win. They win if the stupid electorate comes around and votes for their guys. They win if the stupid electorate votes in the other guys. It's a political calculation.
You cannot scold the disillusioned to go back and become deluded again. When people see the light, they do not scamper back into the dark. The self deluded are the only ones left... sadly, there are plenty enough of those...
Well he sucks, Joe, and so do you, also worthy of mention is how much the democrat party sucks, and I’d also like to point out that the GOP sucks as much as it possibly can.
The federal government of the USA is the enemy of freedom.
That is all.
