LANCASTER, Pa. - Teresa Heinz Kerry said Wednesday that "only an idiot" would fail to support her husband's health care plan."Of course, there are idiots," Heinz Kerry, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, told the (Lancaster) Intelligencer Journal for Thursday's editions.
Kerry's proposal includes health care subsidies for children, the unemployed, small companies and more; and government assistance to insurers and employers that keep premiums for workers down.
If Kerry is elected, Heinz Kerry predicted that opponents of his health care plan would be voted out of office. "Only an idiot wouldn't like this," she said.
Heinz Kerry stumped in Lancaster, Harrisburg and York on Wednesday, the third day of a four-day campaign swing Pennsylvania.
"I don't have to sell it - the people want it," Heinz Kerry said of the health plan. "The common man doesn't look at me as some rich witch. I talk about what I see. It has always been so. You judge people not by their pocketbook but by their actions. Walk the walk."
It takes one to know one.......Hell, she's married to one.
L0L! Sorry, its very early!
One of Brit Hume's all-stars, I believe it was either Fred Barnes or Charles Krauthammer, called TeRAYza a train wreck waiting to happen. That was right after the RAT convention.
This woman is not suitable to be First Lady. She apparently thinks she is talking "straight talk" but she sounds like what she is...a vulgar colonial African who lucked out and married a rich American.
You nailed it, Miss Marple. She sure isn't a Laura Bush (the absolute best First Lady) or even a Jackie Kennedy. It's hard to think of a First Lady, potential or actual, who is or was as abrasive and seemingly unsuitable. (Hillary wasn't really a 'First Lady' as much as co-president, but she certainly rubbed people the wrong way.)
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Notice she how Teresa uses the elitist term "common man.?"
"The peasants are revolting!"
"You bet. They STINK on ice!"
Try to imagine being a fly on the wall as Teresa [57] Heinz Kerry and Al Gore attempt to have a coherent conversation with each other in the same padded cell after the election.
So we're all commoners, eh?
Call me an idiot, but we don't need an asylum escapee in the White House.
Shovel?
LOL! and Bwwaaaaahhhhhhh!
Once in awhile, there are threads where every post is a gem and delight; this is one of those threads. But your post is absolutely accurate: if THK wanted to provide health care for uninsured children, she personally has the funds and control over enough foundation funds to do so for a long, long time. She should put her money towards that goal instead of her other various "philanthropic" (yeah, right!) pet causes. That indeed would be "walking the walk".
How does it feel, TahRayzhazha, when other people tell YOU what you are supposed to do with YOUR money? I hope you're as offended as we are when you spout your mouth off about how we lesser mortals (ie. the "common man") are supposed to spend OUR money.
It doesn't matter how much money this witch has, it still can't buy her class!
HSAs are the way to go. If congress would only make the accounts estate tax exempt and transferable, they would be perfect.
The mouth that roared steps up to the plate again. Great way to win friends, Terri.
"The common man doesn't look at me as some rich witch"
Ah, but they do, you ignorant twit.
I raked through the subject and came up w/the oxymoron...seemed to fit her!
Yes, she IS a bit of a cunning runt, isn't she Larry?
~</;o)
Smooth move declaring about half the US population, idiots!
ISonnet says, "Let them eat Botox"
LMAO!! Man, that's the best four-word summary of the entire Kerry juggernaut that I've ever heard! Well done!
Rich witch wasn't owrd I was thinking of.
Buwahahahahah. Keep talking Teresa you moron. Every time you do your husbands sorry poll numbers drop even more.
