With all the turmoil in financial markets in the wake of a defeated federal government bailout package, hyperbole is running at high levels.

Take former presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. Kerry appeared on FOX News Channel’s Sept. 29 “The O’Reilly Factor” and commended House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., for her efforts garnering Democratic votes in the House. He lambasted the Republicans members for not voting ‘yes’ on the proposed $700 billion bailout.

“Let me tell you something. She [Pelosi] summoned a supermajority,” Kerry said. “Sixty percent plus voted for this. The Republicans had a super-supermajority – almost veto proof – 66 percent voted against it today.”

The junior Massachusetts senator accused the Republicans who voted against the bailout of “screwing” certain components of the American economy.

Kerry should know a thing or two about screwing his fellow Americans.

The Democrats can pass it if they want to. So what's stopping them?

“The Republicans had a super-supermajority – almost veto proof – 66 percent voted against it today.”

And the American People had a super-DUPER-supermajority and said, “We’re not buying it!”

“Kerry” and “objectivity” don’t mix.

This asshat still doesn’t get it. How can he overlook the 95 Dims that Queen San Fran Nan couldn’t control? Thank you Ohio, you kept this clown in Massatwoshits.

Those paying attention are aware that Pelosi played this bill for political advantage, not for the best interests of the country. She has decimated public trust on this issue. Nothing will get done now, even if it’s the right thing.

She was so desperate that Dems/Obama get credit and the GOP get the blame, she sold any ounce of trust in the process down the sewer. This is the last nail in the coffin of her leadership.

Also passed the blame on Republicans for not getting anything done last 8 years.
When confronted with why they have not done anything the last 2 years he said they needed 60% majority and Republicans block everything. Based on his logic would that not be true when the Republicans controlled the Senate the previous two terms.

So, the Republicans screwed the guy on main street before they could screw the US TAXPAYERS?

I’d say that’s accurate. /s

I watched this on O’Reily last night. O’Reily lambasted him for even bringing it up. At the end, Kerry was sitting there red-faced and angry.

By the looks of him last night, I would have to say he must have stopped his Botox injections.
