Dynamic Candidate Rises To Challenge John Kerry In Massachusetts

Filed under Mitt Romney

Below is a brief article by a fellow blogger over at The Partisan Report. Check out the quote from John Kerry bolded in the article. It seems that Kerry’s liberalism is only outdone by his arrogance.

Hopefully, Jeff Beatty, the former Delta Force member and national security expert, will cause Sen. Kerry to have second thoughts about his flippant remarks.

THE PARTISAN REPORT

BY: LOOZIANAJAY

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Jeff Beatty becomes another Republican candidate vying for John Kerry’s senate seat. Beatty joins fellow retired service member Jim Ogonowski to challenge Kerry for the senate.

Senator John Kerry besides from being the Democratic nominee for president in ’04, has also held the senate seat in Massachusetts for over two decades. He has been a political fixture for the liberal Democrats along with Ted Kennedy in the senate.

Beatty said, “”I’ve spent thirty years of my life in the service of my citizens in this Commonwealth and my country. I’ve laid my life on the line for them.”

He has served as an Army Delta Force officer, a CIA counterterrorism officer, and an FBI special agent. He has one heck of a resume in national security and foreign policy. However, he has never held political office but many see Kerry as old news even among former supporters.

On his website, Beatty points to a Zogby poll poll showing him in a virtual tie with Democratic Sen. John Kerry in Massachusetts. His national and international public service, and his anti-terrorism credentials, made the difference with voters, he says.

Kerry had a typical smirk remark about his opponent and the Republican Party in general, “There are few things that happen every six years without fail, plans are discussed for a new Rambo movie, Mitt Romney switches his political philosophy, and the Massachusetts Republican Party loses a U.S. Senate race. History is repeating itself in 2008.”

Beatty has extensive experience in matters that voters are concerned about. He has spent decades in the circles of Capitol Hill and dealing with elected officials on all matters national security related. He is also a successful businessman with knowledge on how to manage. Jeff Beatty is exactly the kind of person we want shaping our policies and leading the security debate.

If I were John Kerry, I would be worried that the show could soon be over.

In 1996 Obama filled out a questionnaire that said he:

  • opposed parental notification on abortions. He amended this to say that he might possibly support it for 12- or 13-year-olds, but no older.
  • Flatly opposed the death penalty, a position later denied ever having.
  • Supported bans on the sale, possession, and manufacture of guns, again a position he denied ever taking.

Governor and Mrs. Mitt Romney - Recipients Of The Beckett Fund Canterbury Medal

Filed under Mitt Romney

Official Invitation awarding Governor and Mrs. Mitt Romney the Canterbury Medal

Romney Medals in Religious Freedom:

It’s not the gold medal that former Olympics boss and GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney sought on the campaign trail. But his and his wife Ann’s winning of the annual Beckett Fund Canterbury Medal recognizes one element of his failed bid cheered by fans of religious freedom. “Mitt and Ann unapologetically but gracefully stood their ground and embraced their faith in the face of all manner of provocations,” says fund President Kevin “Seamus” Hasson. Fund insiders tell us that the two Mormons will be presented with the medal in May, joining other recipients like Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel. Hasson says the medal goes to the “public figure who has resolutely refused to render to Caesar that which is God’s.” Romney tells us it’s an “honor to be recognized.”

Gore launches $300 million campaign

Filed under Mitt Romney

Our favorite VP has a message he is in dire need of spreading, global warming. And his solution is a $300 Million Dollar Campaign

Apparently it’s all our fault and we should feel ashamed… well, that’s what many people believe, but I beg to differ. It is a natural event. But, in saying that, I am concerned about our petroleum use. We need to search for, create, and use renewable sources in order to forestall the depletion of non-renewable resources in order for us not to be left in the dust when our petroleum is gone. Sure, we have enough petroleum to last us for quite a while longer, but I like the advice of Samuel Clemens:

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow

We mustn’t use our powers for bad and use scare tactics and say that there is a preemptive disaster because of us. There is global warming I don’t question that, but it isn’t the 6.6 billion people of this Earth causing it.

Remember, because top leading scientists say something is happening doesn’t mean it’s correct.

Remember, in the past scientists used to teach that the Earth was flat, all other planets revolved around Earth, and that a heavier object fell faster than a lighter object.

And lastly, remember (60 Minute Story) what Al Gore has to say for those who do not believe in Global Warming:

Confronted by Stahl with the fact some prominent people, including the nation’s vice president, are not convinced that global warming is manmade, Gore responds:

You’re talking about Dick Cheney. I think that those people are in such a tiny, tiny minority now with their point of view, they’re almost like the ones who still believe that the moon landing was staged in a movie lot in Arizona and those who believe the world is flat…that demeans them a little bit, but it’s not that far off

Nancy Pelosi Told To ‘Keep Out’

Filed under Mitt Romney

Apparently some of the biggest donors to Hillary Clinton and for that matter, the Democratic party, have written a letter to the Speaker Of The House.

Capital Eye thanked for the story!

Prominent backers of Hillary Clinton sent a multi-million-dollar message to Capitol Hill this week: Watch out, Nancy Pelosi. In a letter to the Speaker of the House that urged her to stay out of the debate over how superdelegates should cast their votes, the 20 major Democratic donors didn’t call direct attention to the $23.6 million that they’ve given to the Democratic Party since 1999, but they reminded her of their “enthusiastic” support over the years.

We appreciate your activities in support of the Democratic Party and your leadership role in the Party and hope you will be responsive to some of your major enthusiastic supporters…

The SAVE Act of 2007 Discharge Petition

Below is part of an email that I received from a HUMAN EVENTS advertiser, the Center For Individual Freedom. (WWW.CFIF.ORG.)

They have published a list of members of Congress who voted for the SAVE Act bill, but who have as yet not voted for the discharge petition so that the bill can get a straight up or down vote.

Below is the list of the House of Representative members who need to get a letter or a phone call to let them know that their constituents are paying attention.

~~John Cronin~~

The Following Members of the House of Representatives: The Hon. Jason Altmire, The Hon. Michael A. Arcuri, The Hon. Brian Baird, The Hon. Melissa L. Bean, The Hon. Marion Berry, The Hon. Sanford Bishop, The Hon. Dan Boren, The Hon. Leonard L. Boswell, The Hon. Rick Boucher, The Hon. Allen Boyd, The Hon. Shelley Moore Capito, The Hon. Steve Cohen, The Hon. Jim Cooper, The Hon. Robert E. (Bud), Cramer Jr., The Hon. Artur Davis, The Hon. Lincoln Davis, The Hon. Kirsten E. Gillibrand, The Hon. Bart Gordon, The Hon. Brian Higgins, The Hon. Baron P. Hill, The Hon. Paul W. Hodes, The Hon. Tim Holden, The Hon. Steve Kagen, The Hon. Paul E. Kanjorski, The Hon. Ron Klein, The Hon. Jim Marshall, The Hon. Jim Matheson, The Hon. Jerry McNerney, The Hon.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and a handful of her far-left cronies in Congress are plotting to put amnesty for 12-20 million illegal aliens back on the table!

And their first order of business is BLOCKING legislation that would finally beef up our nation’s border security and crack down on employers that hire illegal aliens.

We’re talking about the Secure America Through Verification and Enforcement Act of 2007 or SAVE Act of 2007 (HR 4088), an enforcement-only bill that will add 8,000 agents to secure our borders and implement systems that will allow employers to easily verify workers’ immigration status.

According to the Washington Times:
“But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the House Democratic leadership are open-borders advocates who want no part of the SAVE Act, and have thus far managed to keep the bill buried…”

In other words, if Pelosi and company have their way, the SAVE Act of 2007 will NEVER get a vote on the floor of the House of Representatives!

But you have the power to STOP this obstruction!

A few days ago, Congressmen Brian Bilbray (R-California) and Heath Shuler (D-North Carolina) initiated what is called a “discharge petition.” Under House rules, if a simple majority, 218 Members, sign this discharge petition, the SAVE Act of 2007 will be FORCED to the floor of the House for a fair-up-or-down vote!

To date, 181 Members have signed the discharge petition. So we are only 37 votes short from forcing a vote on the SAVE Act!

But, as radio personality Paul Harvey used to say; “just wait until you hear the rest of the story!”

38 Members of Congress who actually sponsored the SAVE Act of 2007 have NOT — as of yet — signed the discharge petition!

If these 38 Members simply moved to give the legislation they so proudly sponsored a fair up-or-down vote, the Pelosi-inspired obstruction would be stopped dead in its tracks!

And that’s where you come in!

If you take them to task — RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW — they will do the right thing.
And if the SAVE Act of 2007 passes, we can thwart Pelosi’s plans to bring back amnesty!

Yet Another Obama Lie

Filed under Mitt Romney

I can’t imagine what I would do without NewsBusters!

When Mitt Romney stated that he saw his father march with Martin Luther King Jr., there was wall to wall media coverage reporting how he had to start backpeddaling. Even after witnesses came forward claiming they had seen his father march with him, the media story of Mitt fabricating the story still persists.

Will Obama get the same media treatment with his lies? Don’t hold your breath. In a speech to a Selma, Alabama crowd meant to pump up his civil-rights movement authenticity and his Kennedy Camelot image, Barack Obama claimed that the Kennedy administration paid for his Kenyan father to travel to America on a student scholarship and therefore was responsible for his “very existence”. However, the first march on Selma took place on March 7, 1965. Obama would have been about three and half years old at that time. For some reason the media never did the math on this.

Introducing Jeff Beatty For US Senator In Massachusetts

In keeping with my earlier post titled: “Participatory Democracy”, I would like to give everybody a heads up on a former US Delta Force member who is running for John Kerry’s Senate seat in Massachusetts. I know very little about him, but what I do know is impressive. He sounds like the kind of man we would like to see in the Senate.

In my previous post, I said that it is our responsibility to do everything we can to promote the candidacies of conservative Republicans as we head into the general election. We have all seen Gov. Romney doing his part to raise funds for the Party and to help elect a Republican majority. I am writing this to encourage all of our readers and contributors to help play a part in rebuilding the Party as well.

I have included some quotes from Mr. Beatty’s website (referenced below) and he impresses me as the kind of candidate who has the military and national security bona fides to help move the country back from the leftward tilt we have experienced the last several years.

I’m going to get up to speed as quickly as I can on his positions on the issues and I’ll be sharing the information here as quickly as possible. In the meantime, click on over to his website and also check out the YouTube interviews as well as the YouTube endorsement by a man I highly respect, Col. Dave Hunt (Fox News Contributor) and himself a national security expert.

Senate Candidate Jeff Beatty calls John Kerry a Hypocrite

March 18, 2008

Kerry accuses others of using troops as political props, when he himself has used service men and women to fuel his own ambition in the past.

Boston, March 18—U.S. Senate candidate Jeff Beatty, a Republican, is calling on Democrat John Kerry to match his rhetoric with deeds regarding our troops and veterans. Beatty points to Kerry’s Monday appearance on the Don Imus radio program where the junior Senator criticized the use of our troops as “props” for photographs. Beatty says this yet again provides proof of the Senator’s hypocrisy.

“History is repeating itself,” said Beatty, a former Delta Force officer. “Kerry has a long record of denigrating our armed services and now exploits them for his own political gain.”
On Kerry’s accusations through Imus, Beatty contends that “Kerry continues to use our troops to boost his political fortunes; it is Kerry who has exploited and degraded two generations of veterans—including our troops currently serving on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

VIETNAM GENERATION

Kerry served as spokesman before the “Winter Soldier Investigation,” testifying before the Senate foreign relations committee and recounting the testimonies of alleged atrocities committed by American soldiers:
“They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan.” [1]

There was no evidence to substantiate the allegations, yet no charges were ever filed to confirm or contradict his testimony[2]

Kerry exploited unfounded sensational allegations about American service members in order to gain national TV exposure in 1971 and help launch his political career. Today, the North Vietnamese honor Kerry’s role in their victory in their War Museum.

TODAY’S GENERATION

Beatty is adamant that “Kerry voted to send our troops to war in Iraq, because it served his 2004 Presidential ambition,” and that “now, despite urging the President to cut and run from Iraq, Kerry continues to use our troops and our veterans for his own political purposes. He is making the rounds of troops in the field and veteran centers at home posing for photos and using our veterans and troops as “props” in another example of his incredible hypocrisy.”
“In spite of Kerry’s efforts, the hard work of service men and women is prevailing. We are now winning in Iraq,” says Beatty. “Yet Kerry persists in pursuing tactics that weaken our efforts, not strengthen them. Is Kerry going to be honored with another plaque like he was from the North Vietnamese, but this time from Bin Laden and Al Qaeda?” Beatty asks. “It’s time to replace John Kerry with one of us.”

Jeff Beatty is a Candidate for the US Senate who can be found at www.jeffbeatty.com. Beatty is a small businessman (founder of www.totalsecurity.us) who previously served in The Delta Force where he received a Purple Heart while helping rescue hundreds of Americans. He also served as a Special Agent of the FBI, advising the national Hostage Rescue Team and as a CIA Counter-terrorism Officer running successful operations in Europe and the Middle East.

Romney Hair

Filed under Mitt Romney

I’d been wanting to change my hairstyle for awhile and while looking at some hairstyles on the net, I came to the ultimate and coolest decision… that I’m going to have ‘Mitt’ hair :)

And of course, like one of Romney’s adviser said,

As a conservative, I part my hair on the right.
