John Kerry bitter as Tea Party gains steam

U.S. Sen. John Kerry yesterday mocked Republicans as “Sarah Palin’s party” even as the New Hampshire Senate candidate she backed claimed victory in Tuesday’s primary and a Tea Party favorite emerged as the GOP’s best hope to break the Democratic stranglehold on the Bay State delegation.

“I think the Tea Party couldn’t ask for any better publicity than to be denounced by a millionaire who dodges paying taxes on his yacht,” said conservative gadfly Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit.

Kerry seized on a Republican rift following Tea Party victories across the country - among them, Palin’s “chosen radical rightwing candidate” GOP U.S. Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell, who triumphed in Delaware over establishment Republican Mike Castle.

“The news from Delaware is crystal clear: It’s Sarah Palin’s party now,” Kerry wrote in a fund-raising e-mail titled “Delawow!” distributed yesterday. “We have to fight back. Click here to contribute right now to make sure we defeat the Tea Party extremists.”

But conservative Washington observers said Republicans will get the last laugh come November.

“Kerry is the guy whose political instincts are always wrong. This guy’s presidential campaign was a punch line,” Reynolds said. “To call the Tea Party extremists is a joke.”

How about a Philly steak sandwich with swiss cheese?

Kerry and Rove are on the same page regarding the Tea Party.

Does Kerry realize how totally irrelevant he is? I do like his sugar mamma’s ketchup, though.

You know... politics... if you make the most of it, you work hard, you use some common sense, and you make an effort to be patriotic, you can do well. If you don’t... you get stuck as the ski-bum-boy-toy of a gin-soaked ketchup dowager.

The establishment is responsible for the heavy debt and for the fascist ideals of total control that has gripped our Congress and elite. I am glad Kerry is worried. All of them should be worried.

Kerry - the privileged elite’s spoiled brat. The guy who thinks he’s above the rest of us. He should shut up.

I was taught(back in the mid sixties: “Men are creatures of extremes.”

John Kerry is an extreme left wing creature!

From back when he ran for President, I thought this political cartoon was one of the greatest:

John Kerry is so dumb, he couldn’t make it as a spell checker in an M & M factory.
