Will Kerry Still Support Obama At Democrat Convention?

MassGOP Calls on Senator Kerry to Denounce Obama's Elitist Rhetoric

Boston, MA - The Massachusetts Republican Party issued the following statement calling on Senator John Kerry to denounce Barack Obama's elitist rtheroic.

Massachusetts Republican Party Executive Director Rob Willington said, "Senator Kerry's silence on Obama's comments is astounding. People don't "cling" to their religion because of economic stress, they believe in their religion because it brings them comfort and strength. Those who believe in the 2nd Amendment and border security are not "bitter." Apparently Senator Obama believes that because they are angry, they believe in the 2nd Amendment and secure borders. It is the other way around - because the government can't secure our borders and it continues to encroach on our right to bear arms, they are rightfully upset. Given Senator Kerry's support for Senator Obama, will he continue to support him despite these insulting comments?"

At a fundraiser in San Francisco on April 6th, Senator Obama Said: "You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. … And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
