On October 4, the Associated Press Reported that John Kerry (D-MA) had agreed to two debates with Republican Challenger Jeff Beatty. (Boston Globe) At the time, Kerry’s Campaign Manager said: “Kerry is "looking forward to a dialogue on the issues that matter to all Massachusetts residents."
Just two weeks later, the man who coined the phrase “flip-flop”, appears to be waffling; In an article on the 8th on Politicker MA Beatty notes he is looking forward to two debates, however, the Kerry campaign could “not be reached for comment”. No kidding.
On the same day Kerry’s campaign told Politicker that the debates “were not finalized” Brigid O'Rourke, Kerry's aid, waffled about the details of the debate not having been finalized. Bunk.
The fact is that Kerry cannot afford to debate Jeff Beatty at this time. Kerry, with deep ties to AIG going back to the BIG Dig and questionable contributions made to the Bay state Junior Senator by AIG after they won the bid to insure that massive national tax burden, and his involvement in the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac fiasco are all well documented. Kerry, no stranger to making bad deals, had a run in with John McCain back in 2000, when he was trying to foist a shaky shipyard deal on the nation.
Kerry and Barney Frank are two politicians’ the State of Massachusetts could do without and, right now, the people in Massachusetts are possibly the only people in the country who know who to blame for this crisis. It is surprising that the phrase “criminal prosecution” has not surfaced in relationship to the key players in Freddie and Fannie: Frank and Kerry as well as Dodd and Obama.
Jeff Beatty has called John Kerry to task the past few days, over his stock holdings in AIG, and that is what has prompted the Kerry two-step. Although he is shown in the polls as leading Beatty by a wide margin, polls may end up being meaningless in the Bay State. Ask a Massachusetts resident who’s responsible for this mess – and you’ll get an idea of how well both Kerry and Frank will do this election. Perhaps ACORN will be needed to get the vote out. Kerry should be a man, step up to the plate, and debate Jeff Beatty as agreed, dates included.

John Kerry's hands are so dirty from being involved with AIG that he apparently has a great fear of answering questions about this in a debate. John Kerry, Barney Frank and the rest of the incompetent Democrats all need to be brought up on charges for putting America in this great economic crisis.
