John Kerry: Democrats’ woes stem from uninformed voters
Boston Herald ^ | 9/25/10 | Hillary Chabot

Posted on 09/26/2010 7:23:26 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

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 attitude is why voters are looking to shake up Capitol Hill by electing upstart candidates such as U.S. Sen. Scott Brown

Voter's memories:

Let us see:

In the 1994 election cycle, the MSM told us were having a temper tantrum because we didn't vote for the dimocrats.

In the 2004 election cycle, we were told that having long term memories that hurt the dimocrats was “swift boating”
.
Now, in the 2010 election cycle, we are bring told by senior dimocrats we have short attention spans and need to pay more attention. Plus, it continues to be all “Bush's fault”.

Any one out there have any ideas as to what the 2012 election cycle's dimocratic excuse is going to be?

Simple slogans like "Hope and Change"?

Isn't this the guy that served 3 months in Vietnam and got 3 self-inflicted gun shot wounds?.. and was awarded 3 purple hearts so the military could get him OUT of Vietnam?..

THEN.. he went to Paris and allied himself WITH THE VIETNAMESE?.. in the peace talks.. then came back and stumped around the US(at colleges) with Jane Fonda?..

Are we talking about THAT son of Satan?...

I remember the democrats loved the 55 mph speed limit and they had so many stupid slogans to shower support towards this unpopular law ! Some if them you had to laugh at but it still was harsh reminder of a policy that was unnecessary !

The haughty John Kerry, who served in Vietnam.

Who says he served, he was just there. He is a whining freeloader, an unrepentant liar. I am not a baby killer Mr Kerry you are as per the book “Unfit to Command”. You are the ultimate POS.

Fixed it. America is going through an "Awakening" and "surge" with far better success from those techniques used in Iraq.

Read the on line comments posted about John in the paper. Every time he has a Q&A he should be told that we agree with him his voters are uniformed and stupid why else would any one have elected him.

Yep. Stupid voters think the economy is bad because they don’t have a job and can’t pay their mortgage and because businesses are shutting down all around. Why can’t they understand that conditions are really quite good?

Sounds like Walter Mondull after Reagan destroyed him by winning 49 States in '84.

MonDull said: “I guess we did not get our message out”!

These idiots cannot accept the fact:
(1) They got their message out,
(2) we (the American people understood their message, and
(3) We soundly reject their stupid, Socialist message

Well...actually he is partially correct....the majority of “voters” get their information from the MSM...or did...and that is WHY they are “uninformed” i.e. ignorant!

John is very uninformed about the American people and the American way.
