New Hampshire conservative Republican leader Andy Martin says Jennifer Horn violated the New Hampshire Republican Party’s bylaws by attacking Donald Trump

Conservative New Hampshire Republican Party leader and corruption fighter Andy Martin says that New Hampshire State GOP chairman Jennifer Horn should not be criticizing Donald Trump. Criticism of candidates is a role reserved for candidates and activists, not for official party leaders who must remain neutral. Martin has promised to start running attack ads against Horn in September (they may be delayed to early October) because Horn acts and apparently believes her role as state chairman permits her to act as a roving commissioner of morality. “In June I gave the state committee 90 days to remove Horn, and the toadies on the GOP’s state committee have done nothing. Horn continues running her mouth. Soon she will have alienated everyone. Horn’s big mouth is helping to kill off the New Hampshire primary, which is already on life support. She must be removed. Period. She has no business distorting the facts and using Fox News’ false version of reality to attack Donald Trump.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Andy Martin criticizes New Hampshire state GOP chairman Jennifer Horn for attacking Donald Trump

Andy says “Horn has no business running her mouth attacking presidential candidates”

Andy says Horn is acting as a stooge for Fox News; Megyn Kelly was a character assassin during the faux Fox news “debate” and Kelly should not be immune from return fire by Trump

Andy will start running attack ads on New Hampshire media in October seeking to remove Horn as chairman

(Chicago, IL) (August 10, 2015) 

DISCLAIMER:

I am not supporting Donald Trump as a candidate and have no connection with Trump’s campaign. I am an independent media and conservative analyst and activist. Because of my unalterable opposition to Jeb Bush, I am not supporting or endorsing any presidential candidate. I will support any Republican candidate for president except Jeb Bush.

-----

Dear Granite State Republican Party committee member:

When the cat’s away the mice will play. It seems that every time I leave New Hampshire on an anti-corruption mission Jennifer Horn starts running her mouth and attacking some candidate or other (see link below).

In June I gave you 90 days to remove Horn or I would take to the airwaves to seek her removal. Well, approximately 60 of those 90 days have passed, and either in late September or early October my attack ads against Horn will begin.

Megyn Kelly is everytign Horn says Kelly is (“intelligent, educated...” On that much we agree. But Kelly is also a faux “journalist” who was used last week by the powers-that-be behind Fox News to assassinate the character of Donald Trump.

Kelly cherry-picked some old comments Trump may have made years ago (Kelly produced no evidence of when or where the comments were made) and used them to suggest Trump is anti-woman. I see no evidence whatsoever that Trump is anti-woman. Trump is used to trash talking in his television role and he is having something of a difficult transition to presidential politics where different standards apply.

Now let me be clear. Trump alone is responsible for his language. I would not have spoken as he did. I would have slammed Kelly even harder, but with more polite words. But Trump’s language is not the issue.

The state GOP constitution and bylaws mandate that party officials remain neutral. When you are slamming a presidential candidate you are violating party neutrality. In June Horn attacked a sitting GOP congressman over an opaque campaign finance dispute. Horn simply can't stop herself from running her mouth.

Honestly, I have no problem with Horn mouthing off and expressing her opinions as an ordinary Republican. I am not a party official and I express my own opinions freely. You know me for that. But a party chairman surrenders his or her free speech in order to become a neutral party leader.

Horn falsely claims she has a “responsibility as chairman” to attack candidates who displease her (see link below). She has no such “responsibility.” Are you aware of any such “responsibility” in our party's bylaws? She voluntarily surrendered some of her free speech rights when she accepted the role of neutral party chairman.

Particularly when Trump was ambushed by Kelly’s distortions and misrepresentations, along with those of Bret Baier and Chris Wallace, Trump has a right to hit back and hard. Fox News has a constitutional right to act on a biased basis. But then Fox News cannot claim to be a neutral and impartial “news” organization. Asking “tough” questions does not translate into asking “dirty” questions, or into attacking one candidate (Trump) while shielding another candidate from even worse misbehavior (Jeb Bush).

Fox News did not act impartially last Thursday. Fox News employees were doing the bidding of Fox News owners and executives who dislike Trump. It’s a “New York thing,” having nothing to do with the presidential race.

I urge you to remove Horn before my broadcast ads seeking Horn’s removal start running.

The New Hampshire primary is already on life support due to the power grab of Fox News to arrogate the authority over who can debate and who can be a national candidate. Horn is just helping Fox News drive our primary into the ground so Fox News can make millions by hijacking the audience.

Please have the backbone to remove Horn.

As I said at the outset, Horn has no right to decide who is and who is not a candidate, or how national candidates conduct themselves. In 2014 Horn ran a rigged primary for the U.S. Senate; she imported a Massachusetts liberal to run as a Granite State senate candidate and tried to run other local candidates out of the race; and she alienated conservatives who did not support the phony candidate. We lost a senate seat that a local Granite Stater could have won. If Horn had run an honest and impartial primary, all of the candidates would have joined together and worked together to elect the winner. We did not.

Horn is a failed leader whose approach to politics continues to divide us and to drive the party into the ground. How long are you going to continue to tolerate her antics?

Sincerely,

Andy

Andy Martin charges that New Hampshire GOP leader Jennifer Horn is jeopardizing the 2016 presidential primary by defending a sex fiend

Independent New Hampshire Republican leader Andy Martin says a New Hampshire sex scandal involving U. S. Senator Kelly Ayotte, Jennifer Horn, State Representative Bill O’Brien and Dave Wihby will almost certainly impact the 2016 presidential primary. Horn’s inappropriate behavior defending an accused sex fiend could also inflict lasting damage on both New Hampshire’s presidential primary and the local Republican Party.

David Wihby, a senior staff associate to U. S. Senator Kelly Ayotte, was recently arrested in Nashua in a prostitution sting. Ordinarily the actions of the Nashua Police Department’s “Prostitute Squad” would not have national implications. But Andy explains why the sex scandal and Horn’s belligerent and incompetent behavior is reopening old wounds and creating party fissures that will seriously impact the 20216t presidential primary.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Andy Martin says that Jennifer Horn’s attacks on State Representative Bill O’Brien are certain to impact the 2016 presidential primary

Andy says Horn‘s corruption and incompetence as a state party leader will make a mess of the 21016 presidential primary

Andy says Horn is jeopardizing the integrity of New Hampshire’s “first in the nation” primary and should resign as state chairman

Andy says Horn’s corruption and incompetence cost New Hampshire Republicans a 2014 U. S. Senate election victory

Andy once again defends free speech in the New Hampshire Republican Party

(Honolulu, HI) (April 10, 2015) Let me begin by stating some basics: [1] I am not a friend or supporter of State Representative Bill O’Brien. [2] I am an admitted political opponent of New Hampshire Republican State Chairman Jennifer Horn. [3] I am not an opponent of U. S. Senator Kelly Ayotte but I generally view her record favorably. [4] I am in all probability New Hampshire’s leading (only?) political and governmental corruption fighter.

Ironically, I am in Honolulu this week and part of next week investigating a prostitution arrest connected to President Barack Obama (more to come on that important story as my investigation in Honolulu proceeds).

So what caught my attention? A prostitution arrest back home in New Hampshire because that arrest will almost certainly affect the outcome of the 2016 presidential primary.

David Wihby, the “state director” for U. S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (see multiplicity of links below) was arrested by the Nashua Police Department in a prostitution sting. Usually a local prostitution arrest would not trigger national implications. But the “secondary explosions” following the arrest of local powerhouse David Wihby do have national implications for the 2016 presidential primary and perhaps even for primaries after that one. Allow me to explain. (I will also be providing coverage in greater depth on this issue during the next few days as we approach a “First in the Nation” presidential candidate event April 18-18 in – where else? – Nashua. (Hopefully no candidate will be caught by the NPD’s “Prostitution Squad” during the “FITN” event.)

I worked in the U. S. Senate and have been a follower of the senate and national politics for half a century. One of the cardinal rules for U. S. Senators is that they should not intrude in local politics and party primaries because such local meddling can cost them support and ultimately reelection. Ayotte has been a decent senator, not excellent but decent, but her lack of prior elected political experience and her constant meddling in New Hampshire GOP internal politics and primaries could cost her reelection in 2016.

In 2014, Ayotte supported Horn’s maneuver to import an out-of-state candidate, Scott Brown, for the U. S. Senate. The tactic backfired. Conservatives rebelled. In late 2014 Ayotte again backed Horn during an internal battle over who would become speaker of the state house of representatives after Republicans took control in Concord in 2014. The majority of the caucus supported State representative Bill O’Brien but Horn and Ayotte backed his opponent. O’Brien was stabbed in the back when the supporters of Horn and Ayotte supported an anti-O’Brien candidate for speaker, and the Democrats ended up choosing the speaker for a Republican majority. Understandably, O’Brien is still rankled by what happened only a few months ago.

Horn has been attacking me since 2011 and so I have no more love for her than Bill O’Brien does.

Earlier this week O’Brien issued an attack on Ayotte for her poor choice of senior staff member in Wihby. End of story? Not at all. Horn then attacked O’Brien for attacking Wihby and herein lies the crux of the conflict for 2016 and thereafter.

Horn likes to talk about “party unity.” But Horn is functionally an idiot. Horn has done more to spread GOP party disunity than anyone else in New Hampshire. For Horn, “party unity” is a one way street, and she owns the street. Not surprisingly, conservative and pro-integrity Republicans such as me are opponents of Horn and her one-way demands for party unity.

Horn said O’Brien’s critical remarks about Ayotte and Wihby were “extremely disappointing and beneath the dignity of his public office.” Defending Ayotte and Wihby, Horn said everyone should be praying for the “john” and his “recovery.”

I am not defending O’Brien. He is fully capable of defending himself. But I am defending free speech for New Hampshire Republicans, this time Bill O’Brien’s. Last month Horn attacked U. S. Senator Ted Cruz, seeking to limit his free speech; I also defended Cruz’s right to speak his mind.

Horn recently obtained national publicity when Governor Scott Walker had to avoid her home due to a dog allergy. How many presidential candidates are going to want to be seen with Horn or by her side when she is creating intra-party conflicts and reopening wounds, thereby becoming toxic to local Granite State Republicans? How many? Not many. And how many candidates are politely going to go out of their way to avoid Horn? Very many.

I am going to have a lot more to say about Jennifer Horn’s toxicity in the next week. Horn is a disgrace to the New Hampshire Republican Party. And because she continually keeps insulting loyal Republicans, seeking to rig state primaries and prefer one candidate over another to promote her own self-interest, she is going to negatively impact the 2016 presidential primary. Other states are only too willing to pounce on New Hampshire’s “first in the nation” status. If Horn keeps making New Hampshire a place where state leaders – who are supposed to be neutral – keep attacking loyal local Republicans with whom they disagree, New Hampshire is going to become a primary pariah in the future. Horn made a lifetime enemy of me in 2011 (all while her son was driving drunk along the state’s highways, potentially killing someone and while Horn has IRS tax liens on her home; she is the complete hypocrite) and Horn is making new enemies of Granite State Republicans every day.

Bill O’Brien was the choice of a majority of his caucus. He was screwed by Horn & Co. Any presidential candidate who allows himself or herself to be featured with Horn is likely to become toxic to O’Brien and other conservatives. I am not perfect, O’Brien is not perfect. Horn is not perfect. If we were able to sit down and work out our differences without dirty dealing and backstabbing perhaps we could. But because Horn persists in repeatedly screwing us and many, many other Republicans she is single-handedly destroying the Republican Party in New Hampshire and ensuring ongoing Democratic Party dominance.

Jennifer Horn? She is “First in the Nation” among corrupt and incompetent state Republican Party leaders. Need I say more about what this bodes for the 2016 presidential primary and beyond? And so, an obscure prostitution arrest of an obscure individual will almost certainly have an impact in the 2016 New Hampshire presidential primary. Any presidential candidate seen with Horn will be toxic to loyal New Hampshire Republicans.

Andy Martin says that New Hampshire GOP leader Jennifer Horn is trying to muzzle presidential candidates

Andy Martin, the man who spearheaded the media tactics that defeated Massachusetts interloper Scott Brown in the 2014 U. S. Senate election, says GOP state chair Jennifer Horn is trying to muzzle 2016 presidential candidates and infantilize the presidential primary. Andy, an independent New Hampshire Republican Party leader, says Horn’s tactics failed in 2014 and will fail again in 2016. “Criticizing the record and qualifications of your opponent is a time-honored American campaign practice,” Andy says. “Jennifer Horn tries to protect her own financial interests by pretending she is presiding at a political kindergarten where candidates can only say ‘nice things’ and cannot say ‘bad things’ about other contenders. That is not the way politics works. In 2014, Horn tried to stifle criticism of interloper Scott Brown. By seeking to discourage criticism, Horn forced Brown’s opponents to go ‘underground’ and Brown lost the conservative base in the general election. Now Horn is trying to protect Jeb Bush by stifling campaign criticism in 2016.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Andy Martin says Ted Cruz and Fergus Cullen should be free to speak their mind without censorship or intimidation from Jennifer Horn

Andy says Horn has done more to undermine the New Hampshire GOP than anyone else in the Granite State

Andy says Horn should disclose her unpaid taxes and arrangements with Barack Obama’s IRS

Andy is laying down a marker that he will be a tough player in the 2016 New Hampshire presidential primary; stay tuned

(Manchester, NH) (March 17, 2015) Let me begin by stating some basics: [1] I do not know Senator Ted Cruz and I am not a supporter. I am not supporting any presidential candidate at this time.

[2] I do not know Fergus Cullen. I suspect Cullen doesn’t like me any more than he likes Ted Cruz, but I unhesitatingly defend Cullen's right to free speech, to criticize candidates and to engage in “biting” speech.

[3] Jennifer Horn and I are not friends. She has done everything she can to harass me, and I am committed to seeing her removed. I believe that because of her IRS tax liens Horn is really a Trojan Horse for the Obama administration, and a traitor to the state GOP.

[4] I believe the New Hampshire GOP State Committee has shown egregious bad judgment by allowing Horn to continue as a party leader when Horn owes back taxes to the IRS. What kind of a message does that send to voters?

Horn diverted her income taxes from payments to the IRS to her own failed political campaigns. I suspect she is paying off the IRS on an installment plan but no one knows what she owes. Horn refuses to be transparent about her obvious conflict of interest with Barack Obama’s IRS.

[5] I am committed to the defeat of Jeb Bush in the presidential campaign. We will stop Jebbie cold.

Last week Fergus Cullen said some nasty things about Senator Ted Cruz (see link #1 below). Cullen had every right to say what he did abut Cruz. Candidate criticism is an honorable part of our political history.

Decades ago, Ronald Reagan concocted his “Eleventh Commandment” to silence his own critics. Unfortunately, Reagan worshippers have extended the late president’s “commandment” into a straightjacket in a way that was never intended to silence campaign criticism or confrontation. Time after time, election after election, Republicans stand mute as primary candidates campaign without any meaningful examination of their records, and without any meaningful intra-party criticism. Then the Democratic Party’s dirt diggers and mudslingers attack the unsuspecting Republicans in the fall election.

The biggest victim of this internal silencing was Mitt Romney, who was surprised in 2012 when Democrats came after him hammer and tong. Romney had never faced serious confrontation in the primaries, although Newt Gingrich tried to lay out some of the anti-Romney case.

In 2014 Jennifer Horn imported Massachusetts candidate Scott Brown. Horn was trying to promote her own financial interests, which I will discuss in an upcoming column. Horn tried to silence other candidates from criticizing Brown and she tried to disrupt my senate campaign by silencing me. But I took the truth to the media. I was committed to defeating Brown and, as I promised in response to Horn’s dirty tricks, if she stabbed me in the primary in return I would stab Brown in the general election. She did and I did.

Horn is the most ignorant and corrupt GOP state party leader in the United States. Her new claim that “all Republicans would be best focused on promoting their favorite candidates rather than attacking others” (see link #2 below) is an attempt to promote her financial franchise and to muzzle intra-party criticism.

But the current “New Hampshire system” does not produce viable opponents to confront the Democratic Party’s standard bearers. In 2014 Horn could not produce a viable gubernatorial candidate, and she abandoned one congressional candidate to promote Scott Brown’s money machine. Then, after the election, Horn had the gall to take credit for state legislative victories, where her minions had played no meaningful role. Horn did more to defeat Republican candidates in 2014 than to elect them. If Horn had encouraged an open and honest primary Brown would probably be a senator today. Because she fixed and rigged the primary, all of Brown’s opponents to some extent worked against him.

Now Horn is trying to repeat her dirty tricks by rigging the presidential primary in favor of Jeb Bush, because Jeb Bush has the most cash to pass around to New Hampshire’s outstretched and open palms. Instead of defending Cullen’s right to free speech, she was and is trying to tamp down criticism, which will mostly be of Bush.

I go back a long way in presidential primaries. I remember the 1988 New Hampshire primary, when Senator Bob Dole accused George H. W. Bush of “lying about [Dole’s] record.” I observed George W. Bush’s dirty tricks from the inside in 2000. If Jeb Bush doesn’t want to criticize his opponents, that his is privilege. But if Cullen, or others, want to rip a candidate or candidates, that is their constitutional right. They should not be muzzled by Jennifer Horn.

As for myself, I have every intention of criticizing Jeb Bush because both he and his family have been a disaster for the American people. Two unnecessary Bush Middle East wars are enough. Jeb is manifestly unsuited to lead our nation.

So, Ted Cruz, feel free to “tell it like it is.” And Mr. Cullen, have it at. I may not agree with either of you but I will defend your right to free speech. Live Free or Die.

New Hampshire conservative leader Andy Martin: CPAC and ACU should stop discriminating against Log Cabin Republicans

Independent New Hampshire Republican leader Andy Martin “comes out” in favor of allowing CPAC to allow full participation by Log Cabin Republicans and says the time has come for both conservative organizations and the Republican Party to remove any remaining barriers to welcoming gays in the party. “In New Hampshire we have an inclusive party, and no one doubts New Hampshire’s conservative credentials,” Andy says. “When CPAC refuses to allow a legitimate Republican Party organization to be a full participant they are not acting in a ‘conservative’ manner, they are engaging in liberal-style identity politics that we abhor and condemn. I urge CPAC to reconsider and to welcome the Log Cabin Republicans this week.”

Andy Martin says it is time for ACU to admit Log Cabin Republicans to full participation in CPAC

Andy says that the Republican Party must be open to all; the Republican Party and the conservative movement have their origins in human rights and the universal striving for human liberty and dignity

(New York, NY) (February 25, 2015) The American Conservative Union (“ACU”) sponsors an annual Conservative Political Action Conference (“CPAC”). Once again the ACU has refused to allow a Republican pro-gay organization, the Log Cabin Republicans (“LCR”) to participate in CPAC. I recognize that ACU has a right to decide whom to allow to participate in CPAC. But I urge the ACU to open CPAC to the LCR. The time to do so has arrived. LCR’s are good Republicans and brave human beings and they deserve encouragement.

I call on ACU and CPAC to end their discrimination against gays and specifically against LCR. Let me be explicit as to my views. Homosexuality is not a “lifestyle choice,” although gays have traditionally gathered together out of fear of discrimination and recrimination.

Homosexuality is ordained by God and determined at creation. I accept fully the testimonies of individuals who have stated they were aware of their sexual orientation as children. We engage in hypocrisy when we seek to exclude human beings based on their sexual orientation. As homosexuality has become more openly discussed, I have been surprised to see that so many of my friends have family members who have been hidden from sight because of their sexual orientation. Everyone has right to come out into the sunlight and be recognized and valued for who they are as human beings.

Like most people over the age of 50, I grew up in an environment where homosexual issues were treated very differently than they are today. But the very essence of political leadership is flexibility in response to changed conditions and changing social attitudes. The New Hampshire Republican Party is an inclusive Party. Gays are welcome to participate. The Republican Party has its origins in the struggle for human rights and national redemption in the 1850's, and so should be particularly open to classes of persons who are the victims of discrimination. Republicans led the civil rights progress of the 1960’s.

While race and sexual identity are not exactly comparable, I believe that conservatives should welcome gays who are open about both their sexual orientation and conservative principles. As someone whom many people would identify as an Alpha male, I am cognizant I did not “earn” my sexuality. I inherited my genes and orientation. (I take a contrary position with regard to “closeted” gays such as Illinois U. S. Senator Mark Kirk, because I believe the act of closeting and denial is both politically and psychologically unhealthy. Kirk is a prime example of that confusion and conflict.)

The conservative movement should be focused on issues, not sexual orientation.

Show how about it CPAC? LCR’s are brave people. They have been open about their sexual identity, a status that in the past has not always received a welcoming embrace. The time for a change in attitudes is now. Change is not always easy; I know from personal experience. But change is essential if Republicans are to strive for majority status. Every American must join in the “war” to undo the damage inflicted on America by the very “inclusive” Barack Hussein Obama. (Obama has not only been inclusive as to sexual orientation; he has been especially “inclusive” in seeking to “include” our pocketbooks in his insatiable demand for higher taxes.)

LCR’s. Welcome.

Andy Martin accepts Jeb Bush’s offer to resolve Bush family failures with fisticuffs

Independent New Hampshire Republican Party leader Andy Martin has written presidential wannabe Jeb Bush accepting Jeb Bush’s offer to “go outside” with anyone who questions the Bush family’s “greatness,” presumably to resolve the dispute over the Bush family’s failures with fisticuffs. Andy is leading the opposition to Bush’s presidential campaign and has vowed to prevent Bush from either being the Republican candidate or being elected president. Andy charges that behind his veneer of establishment respectability, Jeb Bush is just a front man for political, governmental and Wall Street corruption. “The Bush family is not great,” Andy says. “The Bushes are the greatest disaster to happen to the United States in the last fifty years.”

New Hampshire Republican leader Andy Martin accepts Jeb Bush’s challenge to “go outside” with anyone that questions the bush family’s “greatness”

Andy says two failed Bush presidencies and two failed Bush wars are enough

(MANCHESTER, NH) (February 6, 2015) Independent New Hampshire Republican Party leader Andy Martin has written presidential wannabe Jeb Bush accepting Jeb Bush’s offer to “go outside” with anyone who questions the Bush family’s “greatness,” presumably to resolve the dispute over the Bush family’s failures with fisticuffs. Andy is leading the opposition to Bush’s presidential campaign and has vowed to prevent Bush from either being the Republican candidate or being elected president. Andy charges that behind his veneer of establishment respectability, Jeb Bush is just a front man for political, governmental and Wall Street corruption. “The Bush family is not great,” Andy says. “The Bushes are the greatest disaster to happen to the United States in the last fifty years.”

Jeb Bush

Dear Jeb:

We met in Orlando a little over 25 years ago. I became one of your earliest opponents way back in 1993 when I criticized you for seeking to profit from family connections by peddling water pumps in Africa (remember my headline “Andy is ‘pumped up’ about Jeb Bush’s pump business?). (As a footnote, I actually visited your grandfather’s U. S. Senate office; I go back a long way with your family.) Later, you were to abuse the powers of your office to attack me and to seek to rig elections in Florida.

We also tangled about the disconnect and hypocrisy involving your public views on drug abuse and the drug addiction of a family member. A little research on the Internet will produce links to confirm our past history. While I think you are an agreeable person and would not have a problem sitting down with you for a chat, I do not believe you are remotely qualified to be president. I have been startled by what some of my recent preliminary research has developed about your personal life. I will be disclosing that research in the days ahead.

At a speech in Detroit earlier this week, you said:

"I love my dad. In fact, my dad is the greatest man alive. If anybody disagrees, we'll go outside, unless you're like 6-foot-5, 250 pounds and much younger than me. Then we'll negotiate," he said to laughter from the audience.

"And I love my brother. I think he has been a great president.

In a nutshell, you have explained why you are totally unfit to be the Republican Party’s candidate for president in 2016. You have visibly linked yourself to two failed presidencies and two failed wars. Now back to the issue of fisticuffs.

You say that if anybody disagrees your father “is the greatest man alive” you want to “go outside” and presumably resolve the dispute with fisticuffs. I accept your offer. And, since we are both roughly the same age and the same size, I am an ideal opponent for you.

1. The failures of George H. W. Bush (“GHWB”)

I have no doubt you love your dad. Most children, especially sons, idolize their parents. But by your own admission you are totally unable to divorce your filial love from an objective understanding of your father’s abject failure as a president and as a leader.

Your father obtained party support on the promise of “no new taxes.” He made that promise, and then broke it. “Poppy” Bush was often “out of it.” He didn’t even know the price of milk while people were suffering through a recession. GHWB was totally the creature of and lived in the Washington, DC “bubble.”

More devastatingly to his place in history, through his bungling your father created an unnecessary war that cost tens of thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars. Your loyalty as a son obviously blinds you to the reality that GHWB’s State Department implicitly gave Saddam Hussein a green light to attack Kuwait. Even when it was obvious Saddam had misread GHWB’s signals, your father did nothing to stop Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait (which cost Kuwaiti lives as well as American ones).

Yes, GHWB did organize a collation to undo the mess he had created. He was lucky in that regard. But the First Gulf War was totally unnecessary and only became unavoidable because April Glaspie, the U. S. Ambassador, fed Saddam false evidence that was never refuted by your father’s administration.

The “greatest man in the world?” Your father is far from it. In retirement, people have forgotten his leadership failures and focused on his lovable eccentricities.

The Democrats would like nothing better than to run against your family’s failures in public office and your irrational, inflated and totally false claims to “greatness.” GHWB’s failures as a leader in no way qualify your father for any rational claim of “greatness.”

2. George W. Bush (“GWB”) is the next-to-worst president

You call your brother George W. Bush “a great president.” Until Barack Obama came along to rescue your brother from being the worst president of the modern era, your brother was a total and complete failure. GWB damaged America with trillions of dollars of unnecessary war costs (over the decades), enhanced the power of Iran by destabilizing the Middle East and created the conditions for the chaos which is still festering today.

When the history of this era is written it will be the utter incompetence of your brother’s two terms as president that destabilized the world. The fact that you claim your brother is a “great president” simply disqualifies you as a credible presidential candidate. Obama is now obviously the worst president in modern history (as I clearly predicted he would be, way back in 2007). Your brother is securely second in line for that dubious honor.

GWB was totally unqualified for the presidency and he was totally unqualified to lead the nation. He blundered into a horrible war based on false claims and a total lack of a plan or policy for the “day after.” Many believe GWB started a false war to avenge a slight to your father by Saddam Hussein. Was/is your brother a ”good guy” in a colloquial sense? I think he is. I think we could probably sit down and have a cookout and tell jokes and yuck it up. But not about his presidency (we’d be joking about his successor, off the record, of course). Sadly, you seem incapable of separating family loyalty from political reality and the national interest. But then I knew you were a lightweight way back in 1993.

It is not only Democrats who know you are out of touch with reality. Republicans are also aware you are nothing but the latest in a long line of Bush family blowhards that use Wall Street corporate money to purchase public office to enrich your cronies and impoverish the nation. That you now claim to be a “born again” populist is a joke. Show me the money! Show me where in your track record as Florida governor you went out of your way to help ordinary citizens.

I am leading the effort to deny you any semblance of credibility for the presidential nomination. If the Republican Party engages in yet another suicide mission by nominating you, I am prepared to work hard to see you are not elected president. Two failed Bush presidencies, and two unnecessary wars, are enough!

By this letter I have now accepted your challenge to “step outside” because, frankly, your claims that your dad and brother are “great men” is delusional and poses a severe risk to every honorable and honest Republican that wants to recapture the White House in 2016.

In the past you have used your political power and public office to retaliate by harassing and abusing me for exposing your corruption and conflicts of interest. So I welcome the opportunity to “step outside” or step inside the ring or do whatever is necessary to deflate your bloated, insincere and irrational claims about the “greatness” of your relatives and maybe to beat some common sense into your pampered head.

Collectively, the Bush family has done more than any other family to undermine and endanger our national security and to devastate our economic security. Your family obviously has no shame, because despite all the incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, you continue to claim a false mantle of “greatness” when precisely the opposite is the reality.

Let’s put on the gloves so you can have at me, and vice versa. I am happy to sell tickets to our match, and I am happy to donate the proceeds of the fight to charity. Those proceeds will be the first time the Bush family has ever done anything to financially benefit ordinary citizens.

Cordially,

Andy
