I stand corrected. They aren’t dead people voting, they are just not so alive anymore.

John Kerry, Barack Hussein Obama, and countless other politicians in both the Democrat and Republican Parties are demonstrations how stupid American voters are.

We all them "low information voters" in Illinois, and we've called them that for years. Rush Limpbaugh has only recently caught onto the phrase, and unbeknownst to him, he's one of them!

It’s no wonder they consider themselves ‘elite’ and have so much contempt for the American people. They must find much amusement getting away with such lies.

So is Kerry.

Lucky for him Americans have the right to be stupid - or he’d never have had a career in politics. Or anything else.

Liberals who took over the education system have made sure the people are uneducated and uninformed and just plain stupid.

Ex-Sen. john F’ing Kerry is a perfect example of the Peter Principle in action. The most incompetent tool in the drawer gets promoted far beyond his capabilities or abilities. JFK is an Affirmative Action Secretary of State. His boss, Barry Soetoro Obonzo is an Affirmative Action POTUS.

Americans do have the right to be stupid but the federal government doesn’t have the right to force stupidity on children through classroom indoctrination.

No Mr. Secretary, "we don't have the right to be stupid". America spends more on education than on anything else and the product is really frightening....

Sorry; but education is to cure IGNORANCE - not stupidity.

That CAN'T be fixed!

hmmm..... I wonder who Kerry is talking about? Maybe this will help shed some light...

“You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well, and if you don’t you get stuck in Iraq.”
