Quit Whining, Buck Up!

A testy U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry [Friday] blamed clueless voters with short attention spans for the uphill battle beleaguered Democrats are facing against Republicans across the nation.

“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 told reporters after touring the Boston Medical Center this past Friday.

No doubt about it.  Americans do not want to be called whiners.  However, that is precisely the word used by Vice President Joe Biden in his commentary about voters.  He said that in a campaign speech yesterday and followed up today by saying that voters “needed to buck up.”

The Democratic administration has failed to deliver what Americans want most.  That would be help for the average man on the street.  Most working people feel neglected and believe the wealthy were rescued while they were left to fend for themselves.  I am including those who still have their jobs.

Most of us are watching CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC.   Those networks are all telling the same story.  The CEOs and other corporate managers are earning 200 to 300 times our pay and we are barely getting along.  The banks won’t help us re-finance our home loans and health care costs are going up this year (an average of 20% in California).  The country is in serious debt with no end in sight and wars that appear to be never ending.

You want us to support your political party?  No way!

  1. With everything that seems to be a never ending issue the banks is in full control not the govt. Our politicians are just lap dogs. I see a never ending abuse of what they seem to continue to do and now with the national mortgage licensing going into effect every broker is to get licensed but the banks that helped to create this mess. They are more than able to police themselves … where is the logic in all this? Why not have the fox guard the hen house?
