The Republicans need to go with a new theme: Clean house and senate with new, non-beltway politicians. Get x-military (good fighting ones), strong records of service, and lots of appeal, smarts & money. Long term congressmen and women need to be retired. I heard that Jeff Beatty is a strong R candidate considering pulling out the rug from John F’ng Kerry in the senate next year. We need a list started of all good candidates and send money directly to them...
Ex-military alone is no guarantee of success. We just need to get good people, period. It’s too bad that Beatty has no party apparatus in MA to help him. He’ll be lucky to get more than 30% of the vote in that cesspool, and that’s the real tragedy.
