Politico editor John Harris: Voters are stupid

Politico editor John Harris: Voters are stupid. The self-important media egotists must be sniffing the stench of an Obama defeat in the wind; why else would they start insulting the voters in March? Mr. Harris, right back at ya, chum(p).

  • Interesting. So the same voters that voted for Obamie are now stupid for thinking about not voting for Obamie this time around considering ALL THINGS that are happening right now in the country. Insanity thy name is Liberal.

  • Has Harris ever seen some of the things Obama voters said on camera in 2008 when questioned by John Ziegler? The funniest thing was how they would laugh and say "Sarah Palin" when asked which candidate said he had campaigned in 57 states.

  • Bonfire, I believe your analysis is 100% correct. This post indicates the needle on White House internal polling has passed "landslide defeat" and this is leaking to their friends such as Harris.

    For him, this'll be some sort of perverse victory come November as he'll be able to say, "See, I was already sort of scooping this before everyone else late last winter. Oh, what a journalist I am! Hire me! Look at me, MSNBC!"

  • I thought they got rid of that Journolist hack. The only stupid thing I see here is yet another fawning boot-licker about to watch their meal ticket go away.

  • I agree, he is right about a lot of voters, especially the ones that read the DNC bullshit purveyed by Politico.

  • Love it! We think the people that vote with him are stooopid too. Refreshing that he cleared the air like that. Sure with dickboy in chief would come out and make a statement like that.

  • In a much different way , Mr Harris was correct . Look how many stupid voters , showed how absolutely morally and intellectually bankrupt they were by voting the way they did in 2008 .

    I've heard it said " A dog returned to its vomit again and a sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire ". Do they still love vomit ? I'm sure the Left is hoping so.
