Heinz Kerry: Opponents of health care plan are 'idiots'

Associated Press

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."

Arrogance wins out in the words and attitudes of this "lady".

Supreme arrogance of the sort I sincerely doubt will win over the hearts and minds of the general public.

Don't bet on it.  Libs I've talked to her consider her refreshing and charming for what they regard as her "Courage, Candor, Commitment, and Panache".

Makes for a nice acronym - CCCP

Was that not the old acronym for the Soviet Union?
