You think Beatty even has a chance?

I'm far from knowledgable when it comes to politics, but it seems Kerry has this state by the b***s

I doubt it. But he has my vote. You would think if people were really looking for "change", the would vote out all the people currently in office.

What are some of his ideas, roughly?
I, like I said, am no political guru so I'd be one of those sheep voting for Kerry next Tues., change my mind!
The only reason I'm bothering to vote at all is in my sig

Beatty really wants to get spending under control in Washington.

No amnesty for illegal aliens.

I didn't catch the whole thing but Beatty seems to have a problem with the bail out or how it was doled out.

Beatty agrees with the decriminalization of marijuana and medical use.

He likes the idea of proof to vote.

Likes the idea of term limits (Kerry of course opposes them, incumbants always do).

Supports free speech on the radio, Kerry wants to limit speech on radio.

Beatty does not believe METCO should be race based.

Beatty is a former union member and Delta Force assault troop.

Same here, exactly. Yet the country is ready to vote a Marxist president, as well..."change", indeed. At the end of his term "change" is all any of us will have left in our bank accounts!!
It's still 17 to 11!!!!
