In response to: Providence Journal endorses Jeff Beatty
Mr. White,
Please stop wasting our time bring up your idea for impeachment. You are an idiot. The current administration is not going to be impeached so just shut up all ready. It's all you ever talk about but is so unrealistic it makes you look so ignorant. For real, focus on the issues, congress would laugh at a freshman congressman calling for the impeachment of the executive branch. You would make the cape look so rediculous. You need to stop and reconsider what garbage you spew, you're embarassing yourself.

Providence Journal,
Why don't you take Jeff up there to providence and have him run for one of your congressional seats. I mean Pat kennedy has done such a stellar job, who you supported, why not follow what you say? This is the cape and we could give a damn about who you endorse. In this case a complete lying moron with as much of a tie to the cape as you have. Jeff beatty is a retard and is using terrorism to scare people into voting for him. he himself is a political terrorist, we will not be fooled here.

In response to: Delahunt's status as veteran on ballot is questioned
Someone actually tell me this isn't just a smear tactic orchestrated by Beatty. Why on earth is there a picture (that may or may not be Beatty) on this story pertaining to Delahunt's veterans status. This is a pathetic attempt to win some votes last minute. Beatty is not going to win this election. Bill Delahunt will win and we will be better off for it. We don't need a slanderous, liar in office, I can assure you, that's exactly what Jeff Beatty is.

I have no idea if Dunn is bad mouthing Beatty, but wouldn't you bad mouth someone if they tried to steal from your earned livelyhood? Dunn did nothing wrong here, he just wanted to get paid and Beatty knew he was in the wrong and settled out of court because he was more concerned with huis image then anything else.

And this isn't about Beatty being a disabled vet. Does getting shot down in a helicopter all of a sudden qualify someone to represent others in congress? It certainly does not.

delahunt is a good man with a strong reputation here on the cape. Beatty has repeatedly tried to slander this man with no due course.

Beatty is trying to scare people into voting for him with terrorism. His tactics in this campaign have made hima terrorist himself. Scare others into doing what you want. We will not be frieghtened jeff and we will follow the man who has led us so well for the past decade into the future.

You are tarnishing the image of Americans as a whole lady; by throwing your two cents into a conversation you have no intelligent business speaking to. Say whatever you want but don't insinuate that I need anger management classes or am tarnishing the military's image. It's called being passionate about something that I made a great sacrifice to be a part of. So exercise your right to free speech, but be prepared to hear the rebuttal to your ignorant comments. Speak to people about service when you yourself have served or have a very clear understanding of what the military is all about. When I was in Iraq I got shot in the face lady, in the face. Do you have any idea what that is like? Do you know what it like to have a scar on your face that makes children point at you as you walk down the street? That people make jokes about behind your back? And why did I go through that? For those children and those people that laugh at me. I may have scars but I still have the ability to stand up for what I believe in. If you can't handle it, don't make stupid comments on this blog.

And a message to CAPEMOM way up top of the comments: Shame on you lady. You know nothing of service and nothing of the military. Being in the service in any capacity is serving "for real" you dumb cow. If you were to say something like that in my presence I would spit in your face. You said it, "I know little about the military..." Exactly because if you did you would know how disrespectful a comment like that is to anyone who has ever served. Any type of service is "for real". Guys that drill and train one weekend a month, 2 weeks a year, like Delahunt did while serving, are over there right now fighting and DYING for you. So if you know little about something, KEEP YOUR GOD DAMN MOUTH SHUT!!!!

In response to: Delahunt's status as veteran on ballot is questioned
Why don't we ask Josh Dunn about Mr. Beatty's integrity and character? You're all aware that he fired Josh Dunn and cancelled Josh's final paycheck right? Josh is a vetran of Iraq and served proudly and with distinguished honor. Beatty even bragged about Josh in his speech saluting veterans at Orleans Field. then he turns around and stabs this kid in the back. That's how Beatty treats veterans. I am ashamed of Beatty beyond the belief and though I am grateful for his service, his actions in this election are dispicable and he brings shame to the combat actions badge and the purple heart that he tries and throws in everyone faces. So Jeff, before you slander another candidate, make sure all the skeletons in your closet are out there as well. because I will surely let the world know. This story doesn't hurt Delahunt, it makes us all question your integrity and character. You are a vile, liar with no sense of community. And here on the cape we are all about community. Beatty just doesn't fit here.

In response to: Delahunt's status as veteran on ballot is questioned
I would think that if Jeff Beatty had an ounce of integrity or character he wouldn't throw this out there to slap Delahunt in the face. If he had any sense of integrity or character he would be grateful for Delahunt's service, in any capacity. And excellent point about who verified Delahunt as a veteran. it's not like Delahunt printed out the ballots himself. Someone involved with the electoral process had to have verified he was a veteran and put it on the ballot.

And the Yankee hat is supposed to be holding his head wounds on that added insult to injury but Beatty is a Yankee fan. He can't fool Red Sox nation, he's been a Yankee fan since his days at Rutgers.

In response to: Delahunt's status as veteran on ballot is questioned
I challenge anyone on here to say that I am wrong on this. If I did not have 180 days of service I would still call myself a veteran, I don't care what the law says. Bill Delahunt and Jeff Beatty are both veterans. The President of the United States was in the Air National Gaurd, he says he is a veteran but he never served 180 days active either outside of training. This is an issue brought to light by the Beatty campaign. Tell me what a picture of Jeff Beatty on an aircraft carrier has to do with this issue? This is a smear tactic by the Beatty camp. Beatty isn't eligible to be a member of the VFW just like Delahuint isn't. beatty talks about medical student patching his wounds on Grenada but the fact is he got shot down on his way into Grenada and never saw the students. He lies more about his service record then anyone.

In response to: Delahunt's status as veteran on ballot is questioned
I know, as a veteran, that it takes a lot for a person to join and Delahunt did. So did Jeff Beatty, both of them made a personal choice to put themselves in the line of fire. It isn't Delahunt's fault he was never called upon. Active or reserve, service members are veterans. Reservist risk just as much as anyone on active duty. A lot of the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice have been reservists. many killed before they hit 180 dyas of active service. Do you dare say they are not veterans?

In response to: Delahunt's status as veteran on ballot is questioned
So basically because Bill Delahunt joined the Coast guard is not enough to be called a veteran? That's garbage. At least he joined and served. He took the road less travelled. I was a Marine Reservist, I am a vateran. I served in Iraq, got the purple heart, silver star and distinguished service medal. I am a life member of the VFW. I was called upon and did my duty just like Bill Delahunt would have done if he had been called. Don't hold it against him that his unit was never activated, that was beyond his control. At least he put himself in a position to serve when called unlike most people. Very few people can say who is a veteran is or who isn't. Some stupid law stating 180 days doesn't mean a thing. he joined up when he could have chosen not to. he put himself in a position to serve. That's more then a majority of people on the cape can say.

In response to: Media muzzles Beatty's Iraq plan
Look at the Josh Dunns ituation. Beatty completely disregarded this veteran to better his own interests. Look at beatty operating his helicopter over the islands with total disregard for public code, because making a buck was more important. These are things that tell of a person's character and I am convinced that Beatty has no character. He is not a man of conviction, he is a man of oppurtunity. This is not a partisan attack. beatty himself was an independent until he realized there was finance money available for a Republican candidate here. he is an extremist and incapable of looking out for others before his own interests. Look at his track record, he throws SF, CIA, FBI around but is in no way involved with these organizations to this day and hasn't been for decades. Military for 9 years, private business for 20, when did he have time to be a federal agent? he wasn't he was a contratc consultant for short periods of time. he is unable to defend himself on this issue because he knows it true. He wants everyone to think he is the great public servant, he is far from.

In response to: Media muzzles Beatty's Iraq plan
Jeff Beatty has no idea about this topic. He is attempting use Baker's sentimants to gain votes here in the cape but even he doesn't have a full understanding of baker's ideals. I will say this though, Jeff beatty is attempting to scare the citizens of the cape into voting for him. He is using terrorism to strike fear in the hearts of our wonderful community. We cannot allow this to happen, if we allow outselves to be intimidated by terrorism, the terrorist win. Jeff Beatty's tactics are opurtunistic and slanderous in an attempt to win a race. Jeff Beatty is using terrorist tactics to win this race and it is deplorable and disgusting. I assure you that this man is in no way the answer to the issues we face here on the cape. The answer lies in true genuine leadership from someone who is committed to our community. Jeff Beatty is solely concerned with his own interests. He is a beltway bandit who aims to capitalize on the accomplishments of others and ride the coat tails of true leaders into a position of power. This man is a disgrace and will not lead the cape into the future.

In response to: Post Election Ruminations
Why would we even consider Jeff beatty as a legitamate candidate? He bragged about his staffer, Josh Dunn, in a speech at Orleans Field then turns around and fires him and cancels his final paycheck! This is a man we want leading us? i think not. beatty uses what he can to boost his own image but totally disregards others. he is an entrepenuer, not a leader. Any man that screws over a veteran is a disgrace and jeff beatty should be ashamed of himself. Josh Dunn is a good kid and a hero here. Beatty is a tourist trying to smear Bill Delahunt any chance he gets. I can assure you, the cape is better off with Delahunt 100 times over versus jeff beatty, the man has no spine and is a total liar.

In response to: Beatty crashes Delahunt's Dennis party
Seriously, this is an extremely weak attempt to belittle a man who has served the Cape for 10 years. Beatty is running the most rediculous smear campaign ever. He is using terrorism to scare people into voting for him. Are we going to allow this man frighten our neighbors and allow him to try and fool us all with threats of terrorism? Beatty tactics are weak and childish. He knows he cannot be elected on merit. Do not allow this man to insult the cape any more then he all ready has.
