Unseating John Kerry - part 1

Candidate for the U.S. Senate, Jeff Beatty>>>>>>>>>>




John Kerry has served as the junior Senator from Massachusetts since 1984 and, if re-elected in November, will begin serving his fifth six-year term. In spite of his record of flip-flopping, his political orientation is fairly sraightforward. He is, and has been, a staunch liberal who is currently backing Barak Obama for president. Here in the bluest of blue states, where the entire Congressional delegation is made up of Democrats, such a stand has served him well. But while not always as visible as it might be, the Massachusetts Republican Party continues to carry the flag of opposition in its attemmpt at injecting a measure of political balance into the Commonwealth's affairs.

This year The Republicans are fortunate to have two excellent candidates running to unseat Kerry. This article will focus on one of those candidates, Harwich businessman, Jeff Beatty.

Jeff brings a most impressive resume to the task. His experience in the US Military, law enforcement and as the founder of TotalSecurityUS provides Beatty with an un-parraleled background to deal with the threat of radical Islam. While many on the left would like to ignore it, this threat continues to be the number one danger facing the Unites States in the minds of many respected political thinkers.

In 2006, Jeff ran against Bill Delahunt, representative from the tenth Congressional District. While that effort was unsuccesful, it has provided Beatty with an important learning experience regarding the field of modern politics. We expect that in managing his campaign for the U.S, Senate, Jeff Beatty will do a much better job of making the case for himself over the incumbent.

A future article will examine the background of the other Republican candidate. In the meantime, let us resolve to avoid intra-party destuctiveness and focus instead on making the case to the people of Massachusetts that it is time that John Kerry, and the Democrats, be replaced with a strong Republican who will help steer the public debate away from the ineffective liberal agenda.
