Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin explains why
his primary opponent, “Slippery” Scott Brown, is down in the dumps. Over the past
few days Andy has been pummeling Brown because of Brown’s exaggerated claims concerning
brown’s military service. And the worst is yet to come. This week Andy launched
powerful radio ads across New Hampshire
attacking Brown for Stolen Valor (exaggerating your military service). Brown
has suddenly realized he is in the fight of his life. He could lose the senate
primary. Even if Brown wins the nomination, Jennifer Horn is playing so dirty
that the primary will continue right into the general election. Brown faces a
bleak political future. Brown, who bragged just two years ago that he met with
“kings and queens on a daily basis,” could very well end up as a joker.

FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin launches
“hardball” attacks on Scott Brown
Andy is airing ads charging Brown with “Stolen
Valor” (accusing Brown of exaggerating Brown’s military service)
Andy says Brown is depressed and disoriented
because Andy’s attacks prompted Pentagon officials to curtail Brown’s
“retirement” extravaganza
(Manchester , NH May 15, 2014 )
Dear Republican:
In his 2012 reelection campaign Scott Brown claimed he met on
a daily basis with “kings and queens.” He was delusional. As recently as this
year, Brown thought of himself as a presidential candidate. He was delusional. Brown’s
presidential ambitions are about to be erased in the September senate primary.
In the space of just a few months, despite the saturation media coverage he
still receives, Brown’s political career is crashing and burning.
What happened?
A number of Republicans and several reporters have commented
in the past few days about Scott Brown’s almost disoriented behavior. Are you
wondering why Brown is down in the dumps?
Brown has been the recipient of devastating psychological
blows from my own senate campaign.
In April, Brown announced that he would “retire” from the
National Guard with an extravaganza at the Pentagon. I began researching
Brown’s military record and found massive lies and exaggerations in his public
statements. [In 2010 I had exposed Mark Kirk, also a Republican, and also a
disgrace, as the greatest military fraud in recent history.]
Eventually I asked Pentagon officials to cancel or limit
Brown’s bogus retirement, which was nothing more than an illegal use of federal
property (the Pentagon) as a prop in Brown’s senate campaign.
Pentagon leaders apparently agreed with me. From what was originally
planned as a massive media spectacular, this past Tuesday Brown simply slipped
into the Pentagon with his wife and daughters, collected a bogus award from the
“Maryland
Brown has been psychologically devastated by the firepower I
am concentrating on exposing his lies and defeating him for the senate
nomination. It wasn't supposed to that way. Brown was promised a “cakewalk”
primary. So, where’s the cake?
Here is some more analysis:
1. Scott Brown the military imposter
For years Brown has inflated and bloviated about his
military service. He falsely claimed to have “served” in Afghanistan .
He was there for seven (count’em 7)
days meeting with other phony senators (including Mark Kirk, the biggest
military imposter in recent history) and other high-ranking officials. Brown
told the Union Leader that he carried a gun. More nonsense. The Department of
Defense has strict rules prohibiting sitting members of congress who are also serving
in the reserves from being in “imminent danger areas.” The Union Leader was
fooled. Brown has claimed he “deployed” to Afghanistan .
More lies. The Department of Defense has detailed regulations defining
“service” and “deployments” and Brown did not qualify for either designation.
Exaggerating and inflating your military service is called
“Stolen Valor.” Someone lying about their service is trying to “steal” some of
the “valor” of those who actual served and deployed and were really in harm’s
way. Brown even invented a phony “mortar attack” to sell paperback copies of
his autobiography. On and on it goes.
People who exaggerate their military careers suffer from a
form of mental illness.
In Brown’s 2012 reelection Massachusetts
campaign Brown repeatedly and relentlessly lied about his Guard duties. He ran radio
ads claiming to have “served” in Afghanistan .
He made similar claims in debates. And he staged a “homecoming” with his wife
after seven days in Afghanistan .
If you didn’t trust the media before today, you can now see how so much of what
passes for “news” is nothing but nonsense that enables political liars like
Brown to aggrandize themselves.
2. My lawsuit exposing Brown as a military fraud
Earlier this week I filed a lawsuit seeking to bar Brown
from repeating his Massachusetts
lies in New Hampshire . Massachusetts
is an antiwar, anti-military state. In New Hampshire
we take military service seriously. Brown is going to have to defend himself
against his long history of inflating and exaggerating his military service. No
wonder he looks depressed and disoriented.
By reducing his “retirement” party to a brief entry/exit
with his wife and daughters, Brown’s attempt to use the Pentagon as a “prop”
for his senate campaign was eliminated.
You might ask, “Why file a lawsuit?” A lawsuit is a truth-seeking
and truth-exposing device. If you lie in court, you pay a penalty. Brown will
now have a judge reviewing his claims; an adverse ruling would end Brown’s
local career and presidential hopes.
3. Brown made a couple of classic “military” mistakes
Brown failed to survey the battlefield in New
Hampshire before he became a candidate. Brown was doing
well, pulling in millions from Fox News and a law firm retainer. He was being
treated as a presidential candidate even if he wasn’t one. Those days are gone.
So what were his mistakes?
First, he listened go Jennifer Horn and some of the other
New Hampshire GOP’s “leaders” who have been losing elections for decades. He
didn’t do his own independent due diligence. I am sure Horn promised Brown he
would face no meaningful opposition in the primary. The nomination was Brown’s
for the taking. Obviously, that was a false statement.
Second, Brown believed his own blarney. Brown now realizes
he faces a very formidable opponent in me. There are also the three “zombies”
(Rubens, Smith and Testerman).
4. Jennifer Horn’s dirty tricks against my campaign are
going to boomerang and possibly bring down the GOP ticket in November
Jennifer Horn has been working tirelessly to undermine my
campaign. We will have more to say about that on Friday. But there is going to
be a blowback and backlash for Horn and Brown, both during and after the
primary.
If Horn (and Brown) continue to run a “dirty” primary
against me, as they currently are, I will retaliate. I will take them out in
November. You can't preach “party unity” when you are stabbing a legitimate
candidate in the back. Horn “recruited” Brown to New Hampshire .
If Horn keeps trying to protect Brown by undermining my campaign in the
Republican Party primary, and by violating her sworn duties as a party
official, both she and Brown will have a long hot summer.
If Horn ran an honest primary, she could expect party unity.
But if she stabs me in the back, I will not stand next to a backstabber, or
endorse a backstabber. Get the picture? Someone, some wayward Republican adult,
should have “The Talk” with Horn. She is on a course to bring down the state ticket
in the fall. Stay tuned.
5. Character is everything in the public arena
A. Scott Brown
basically has a weak character. As I continue to prepare a Psychological
Profile on Brown (publication in the near future) I am amazed by just how weak
Brown’s character really is. If it hadn’t been for the fluke of a senate race
against an ineffective opponent, Brown would have continued to live in
obscurity.
B. You can love me
or hate me but I am what I am: a tough fighter who is completely committed to
public integrity. To summarize: I was supposed to attend UNH .
Because of a fluke I got a chance to play football at the University
of Illinois
As a college student and later as a law school graduate I started
forming close friendships with some of the most honest and bravest men in
American politics. Senator Paul Douglas was one of the toughest men who ever
served in the U. S. Senate. Senator Paul Simon was condemned by his own legislature
-- for exposing corruption. Abner Mikva, Leland Rayson, Bob Mann, Dan Pierce,
Adlai Stevenson III , all of these men were
corruption fighters in the Illinois
legislature. They inspired me. They stood for public integrity and honest
government in a legislative body where the Crime Syndicate had its own state
senator. Later I fought organized crime in Chicago .
So, yes, by any objective measurement, I am tough.
In 2008, when the McCain campaign collapsed I fought back against
Barack Obama’s lies. I tried to help Mitt Romney in 2012, but Mitt simply wasn’t
tough enough for Obama’s thugs. The Chicago
boys and girls in Obama’s campaign ate Romney’s lunch. Closer to home, Ovide
Lamontagne admitted in 2013 that he was surprised by the ferocity of the
Democratic Party’s attacks on him in 2012. What did Ovide expect? In general, Republicans
do not field tough candidates. Which is why they are the minority party.
So, yes, “toughness” in a candidate matters. Toughness is an
essential ingredient when fighting against an incumbent senator. Brown lacks
that crucial element of character. That is why Brown, who is suddenly faced with
a ferocious opponent, is stunned at how tough the senate primary is becoming.
I am the only Republican senate candidate who is tough
enough to take on Jeanne Shaheen and the brawlers in the New Hampshire
Democratic Party. Toughness is built into my character. It is not a part of the
character of my senate opponents.
6. For Brown, the worst is yet to come
This week I started airing two powerful “Stolen Valor”
attacks on Scott Brown. If the ads are effective we’ll try to keep them on the
air until the primary if we raise any money to support my campaign. Brown can
spend millions, but most of Brown's spending will be canceled out by opposition
ads attacking him. My advertisements are going to leave lingering doubts in the
minds of Republican voters. They couldn’t trust Brown in Massachusetts ,
why should be trust him in New Hampshire ?
Once Brown hears the ads, he may even decide not to run for
the senate and go back to where he was, a pseudo-presidential candidate who can
travel around the country lying about his military service without having to
worry about Andy chasing him with the truth (I am sticking to my knitting in New
Hampshire ).
We will be distributing the radio ads Thursday night. If you
can’t wait, send us an email and receive them early.
Interesting, isn’t it? Mr. Brown of great renown is probably
on his way. Out of town.
Loyally,
Andy
P.S. Please do the right thing. Open your mind. Consider
voting for me in the primary. You’ll be proud you did.
