The Dems’ Disastrous Model (Calling voters stupid is a losing strategy)

Demonrat failure.

Liberals are at their core elitists who believe that average Americans are too stupid to make the “right” decisions in their lives and big government run by elites must force them to do the right thing. Congressional fiats force Americans to buy the right cars, light bulbs and toilets. The nanny state tells us what is good for us to eat, how to raise our kids and even the President tells us what TV networks to watch. Well the elites have a surprise in store...come November the ignorant masses are going to throw them out of power all over the country.

Kerry laments that “we have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on.”

On the contrary, juan kerry, we ARE paying attention what is going on, and we don't like what we see.

Instead, it falls for “a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening.”

Yeah juan kerry, those simple slogans really worked out for obozo and his "Hope and change" and "Yes we can". BTW, is it true that kerry served in Vietnam?

If they get away with the election fraud then they will be right after all. Only a stupid public would let it stand.

Everybody prepare for the worst.

[Texas resident]

It is interesting that they are confident enough to insult Americans running up to an election.

I like it on the rare occasions that the Dems are honest. They believe that all voters are stupid, including their own supporters (and they're right about their supporters). Let's not jump to conclusions about the outcome of this election until the Dems have given this tactic a serious effort. Maybe they just haven't called us stupid enough times for their methods to pay off.

And not a single damn one of them would have any idea how to fill out and file a 941 Form.

[Izzy Dunne]

is it true that kerry served in Vietnam?

He visited there, having won an all-expenses-paid trip, but I don't know that I would call it "served".

If the dims want to continue to self-destruct, we can help grease the skids for their defeat. Novemeber 2nd will hopefully be the bloodbath we’ve been waiting on. Get rid of as many Rats and Rinos as possible.

Well....I myself being one of the great unwashed knows how he’s going to vote and it ain’t for these all knowing geniuses!!!

[jersey117]

This is exactly right. Obama can blame Bush and the Republican boogiemen all he wants. The bottom line is that it’s the American people who don’t want what they’re selling.

[Soothesayer]

I really don’t think they would do this unless they have ALREADY eliminated free elections.

These are professional con men we are dealing with here. The best of the worst.

[screaming eagle2]

people who think they are better than everyone else really bug those of us who know we are

I believed he served as a videographer and Purple Heart application filler outer.

No kidding... what about governor candidate Boy (King) Barnes who, in one of his commercials, called the entire state of Georgia a laughingstock of the nation.

I’m sure that earned him a lot of votes/s

[GraceG]

Deomcrat slogan 2010: Vote for us Stuipid!

[Fred911]

[Savage Beast]

Gee...I don’t know, Vic. There must be a lot of Neanderthal know-nothings out there. Somebody voted for Adlai Stevenson, Jimmy Carter, John Kerry, et al.

[Arrowhead1952]

LOL. He did get some rice grains embedded in his rear end too. I still get a kick out of his “Don’t you know who I am?” moments.
