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.

I guess that’s why the cowards in the senate postponed their vote until after the House, because they are so brave and committed they wanted to see which way the wind was blowing before they made their opinions heard. Hey John Kerry - when will you release your military service records like you said you would?
was he taking a ‘dixie’?? He said that twice, I think he insulted southerners somehow, based on Dem logic.
The only way John Kerry ever sees Main Street is from behind the tinted windows of his limousine.
and he was wearing too much makeup or something, looked totally ‘Lurch-y’..ready for Halloween
Yep, we had ETs kidnap 95 rat congressits and remove their liberal brains to vote against the bailout.
John, boy, when are you going to realize that you are a very stupid liar. When you lie, the internet exposes your latest lie in seconds.
Yep. Cambodia too. Secret mission and all that. Just ask him.
Kerry’s screwing the Woman on Wall St.
The Democrats and the media are out spinning the GOP.
The election will be close so perhaps they will be effective. My disappointment is that most Gopers are stting on their hands, out of the game.
Kerry was rambling like the village idiot. 60% majorities are meaningless in this discussion. The President was for this bill. There is no veto threat. Yes, there is a filibuster threat in the Senate but that is meaningless at this point. The Senate under Harry Reid's great leadership doesn't yet have a bill... This was just more of everything is Bush’s fault and we Democrats are victims of the dumbest President in history. Asshat Inc.
"UH, they were for it before they voted against it?"
What do I win?
The only “guy on Main Street” Jean-Claude knows is the paper boy.
The only Americans Kerry found an excuse to ‘screw’ were heiresses or rich widows.
How is saving ‘The Guy on Main Street’ 70,000,000.000.00 screwing him?
Go take a ‘Dixie’ Kerry.
"Hanoi" John Kerry - Finally as famous as "Hanoi" Jane and Tokyo Rose.
His own party didn’t vote for it. Was he on the toilet when the news came out it was a “no go” Why can’t he just go away, far far away.................
Why can’t he just go away, far far away.................
Yeah, and he can take ALL of his communists buddies with him!
