Opposed to Romney Care? Opposed to Cape Wind? Out of Step and Out of Touch!
Sit back and observe the inability of the Tea Bagger Wackos in Massachusetts to conduct themselves appropriately.
The article below indicates Chatham lawyer John Chapman attempted to conduct his FOLLY on PRIVATE PROPERTY!
DUH?
MOVED TO THE SIDEWALK? An attorney who doesn't know the LAW?
Shoot From the Lip Ron Beaty has a rather pathetic history that only gets more embarrassing....his supporters seem too lazy to question his criticism.
Folks, You're better than that! Please do your homework before continuing to support an uninformed flamethrower who can't even fund a campaign.
Supporting Uninformed Tea Bagger Candidates will destroy the Massachusetts Republican Party.....what little is left after Willard's Fiasco!
Just a few comments:
Ron Beaty and The Sheep!
Who needs another uninformed Tea Bagger?
AMENDED: GOP-controlled House takes shot at Cape Wind
After lending nearly $600 to his Republican state Senate campaign and spending all of it, West Barnstable resident Ron Beaty asked his Democratic opponent, state Sen. Daniel Wolf, last week to join him in making a "People's Pledge" to cap campaign spending at $30,000.
Wolf could not be reached for comment on Beaty's proposal. But Seth Rolbein, a Wolf aide, confirmed that the campaign is considering Beaty's proposal and plans to respond.
In his proposal Saturday, Beaty asked Wolf to respond within five days. But on Thursday evening, with no response from Wolf, Beaty said it was "understood that the 'People's Pledge' proposal has now been rejected."
Beaty, who won the GOP nomination last week over Mashpee financial consultant Allen Waters, ended the eight-month period leading up to the primary with an empty campaign account, according to his most recent state Office of Campaign and Political Finance report. As of Aug. 22 — the final day of the reporting period — Wolf, a Democrat from Harwich, had nearly $50,000 in his campaign after raising about $58,600 since Jan. 1.
But Beaty, a tea party candidate who has been outspoken against the Cape Cod Commission and the proposal to house unaccompanied immigrant children at Joint Base Cape Cod, said the "People's Pledge" request was not motivated by the $50,000 gap between his campaign cash and Wolf's.
"Politically motivated? No, I think it's common sense-motivated. It's not necessary. You don't have to engage in a spending war," Beaty said, adding that the thousands of dollars spent on campaigns could go to charities.
Beaty's request is not the first for Wolf. While running against him for the Democratic nomination four years ago, Barnstable County Commissioner Sheila Lyons proposed a $100,000 spending limit, which Wolf rejected. Wolf spent about $360,000 that year, according to campaign finance reports.

Chatham lawyer John Chapman tried to take his Republican bid to unseat U.S. Rep. William Keating to the incumbent Democrat's doorstep Tuesday morning.
But upon arriving at the courtyard outside Keating's district office in Hyannis, Chapman was booted out of the brick office complex and forced to campaign on the sidewalk instead.
As cars whizzed by on North Street, Chapman reiterated his opposition to the Affordable Care Act, citing it as one example, "just off the top of my head," of the clear distinctions between the two candidates.
Chapman described Keating as "ineffective."
"He's been invisible for Massachusetts. ... I don't think he understands the needs of the district. I've been talking about Congress as being out-of-touch, polarized and arrogant, and I think Bill Keating has demonstrated that he falls right into that mold," Chapman said, as two women and Fran Manzelli, the Cape's Republican state committeeman, held campaign signs behind him.
THIS CHAPMAN DUDE HAS 3 SUPPORTERS?
WAY TO GO, MAN!
"He's had multiple opportunities, three or so, to repeal Obamacare. He's not voted to do that," Chapman added.
WHY WOULD KEATING VOTE TO REPEAL ROMNEY CARE?
WHY WOULD KEATING VOTE TO REPEAL ROMNEY CARE?
When asked about his plans to speak outside Keating's district office, Chapman said he simply wanted to underline the choice before voters. In the GOP primary, which he narrowly won last week over Falmouth cell biologist Mark Alliegro, Chapman said there were "not many distinguishable differences" among the four candidates.
Chapman said he was unfazed by being kicked out of the office complex.
WHERE HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN THE FIRST PLACE!
"I'm gonna make my case whether it's on the street or in the courtyard or on a podium. It doesn't matter where I make it. We're off to a good start here."
