Sen. John Kerry's new fundraising letter seeks to make a bogeyman of Sarah Palin and the Tea Party movement and rally liberals for the 2010 midterm elections.
A new fundraising letter from Sen. John Kerry (D) of Massachusetts gives a strong hint about how Democrats may try to stir their base to action during the 2010 election season: scare them with the prospect of a Sarah Palin nation.
Think GOP obstruction is bad now? Senator Kerry asks in a fundraising letter sent out Tuesday morning by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Just imagine what Washington would look like if a bunch of new senators inspired by Sarah Palin and the tea party crowd took over.

One can only dream. . . ..
I think Sen. John Kerry (D) of Massachusetts is planning on making a run president again.

Yeah, Obama told Kerry that folks in the 57th state get to vote early.
Poor liberals. Can’t present positive messages to raise funds, so they resort to raising boogeymen (boogeywomen?)to frighten the base.
At the personal level, liberal fundraisers focussing on Obama, or Reid, or Relosi, wouldn’t result in significant donations either. Even Obama is on the nose.
Sad state they are in :).
Doom 0bozo’s agenda and save America from catastrophe.
