Kerry blames out-of-touch voters for Democrats' midterm image troubles By Mike Lillis - 09/25/10 06:06 PM ET
Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) this week said an uninformed public is largely to blame for the Democrats' problems heading into November's midterms, the Boston Herald reports.
“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 said Friday in Boston, according to the Herald.
"A lot of the anger today — while it’s appropriate because Washington is broken — is not directed at the right people."
The remark drew a quick response from William Jacobson, a conservative blogger and Cornell University law professor, who told the Herald that such an attitude is the reason the Democrats' are facing a tough election cycle to begin with.
“It just continues the Democrats’ theme that the reason people are upset is because they don’t understand — they're not smart enough," Jacobson told the Herald. "That sort of rhetoric just gets people even more upset."
Kerry waded into a similar spot in 2006 when he suggested that students who don't perform well in school will get "stuck in Iraq." Though Kerry is a decorated veteran of the Vietnam War, his comment drew howls from conservatives — including the George W. Bush White House — for implying that the military attracts less intelligent (or at least less motivated) recruits than other professions.
November, days counting..........
It’s not an image problem, John.
How ridiculous that this parasite, who is living off his wife’s dead husband’s money, should lecture anyone about being “out of touch.”
Where is Hanoi Boi berthing his yacht these days?
Is he making this “clear, crystal clear?”
Being down here in Australia even I know more than Kerry and the Democrats. They’re the ones who are out of touch. Conservative Republicans know more than they think .....
Kerry you traitor, now you are trying to blame the people for the mess you are in. It is nut jobs like you that waste a country then blame the people.
He reads about the anger but he doesn't see it, so he's hypothesizing about who might be angry.
He'd best watch out for that crazy wife of his ~ Tereza ~ she's angry too.

If, we are so uninformed Kerry just where should we go for the truth? To You? What an idiot.
“November, days counting..........”
Which reminds me...the voter registration deadline in Texas is Oct. 4, so if you’ve moved to a new precinct, be sure to go to the county registrar and get your voter card changed by that date. Every vote against the Democrat Party counts!
If he think we are pissed off, he hasn’t been paying attention to the muzzies. Those boys are REALLY pissed.
Rahm Emmanuel is Gilligan. Guessho the Skipper is.
If you can’t fix the economy when you have a 59% majority in both houses, as well as the White House, then what good are you, John?
That's obummer’s belief: If he just keeps trying to pound some sense into us, we'll understand.
Actually, Mr. F'n, the electorate is starting to pay attention, and if they believed in simple slogans like "Hope" and "Change" they now finds they were indeed empty election propaganda tactics. Now that the facts are coming out after 2 years of obscuration, they are waking up.
What’s scary is that Kerry was THISCLOSE to being President.
Kerry know that the opposite is true. The problem is voters are in touch and they are fed up. Fed up with run away spending, passing legislation they have not read, ridiculous $800,000 for African penis washing and failure to enforce the law......just to name a few.
