Teresa: "ONLY AN IDIOT" wouldn't like health plan; no "RICH WITCH" ...

[gauguin57]

Plainspoken Teresa Heinz Kerry lays it on the line again, in Lancaster, PA -- part of a three-city discussion of health-care issues.

(from the lancaster intelligencer-journal)

http://www.lancasteronline.com/pages/news/local/6/8378

"Heinz Kerry said her husband's health care plan would be endorsed by legislators - even naysayers whom she said will find themselves voted out of office if they oppose the plan.

" 'Only an idiot wouldn't like this,' she said. 'Of course, there are idiots.' "

"...(She) bristled when a military veteran in the crowd complained of shrinking veterans' medical benefits and challenged Kerry's commitment to providing expanded health services to veterans.
'I disagree with you, sir,' she responded. '(John Kerry) has fought very hard as a senator ... to protect veterans. He will fight for it, and so will I. Health care for those who fought for us is the most noble thing we can do. I don't know what's going to happen to those poor (military personnel) coming back now, and we ask them to go die for us? It's not right, and it's not American.' "

4. No rich witch!

Still, whether Heinz Kerry, a multimillionaire and renowned philanthropist, can sell her husband's plan to the uninsured masses remains to be seen. In fact, she balks at the notion she's selling anything at all.

"I don't have to sell it - the people want it," Heinz Kerry said.

"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."

6. LMAO - what a bunch of fucknuggets

They'll stand up and applaud the likes of Ann Coulter when she demands Muslim blood, but they reserve names like "cunt" and "bitch" (not that they even have the courage to type them) for a woman who wants to provide healthcare for everyone.

7. Of course they don't like it

She just called them all idiots. I'll go a bit further and call them heartless bastards.

Awesome Teresa! I just love you.

8. Well, the Freepers are all saying,

"no, I don't see her as a rich witch ... but the noun I'm thinking of RHYMES with WITCH."

Ah, back to the good-old, bad-old days of the completely classless Barbara Bush!!!

9. Beautiful! We need Teresa to get this kind of word out more

This will help shake up the undecideds and finally get them over to the Teresa and Kerry camp. Sometime you have to spell it out for the less attentive.
