U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin begins an advertising campaign backing Market Basket employees

Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will hold a Tuesday, July 22nd news conference in Manchester, NH to announce he is beginning a statewide advertising campaign backing Market Basket employees in their conflict with a rapacious new management team. “I am putting my campaign solidly behind Market Basket employees that are fighting to protect their jobs, their paychecks, their benefits and the corporate culture that has been created by Arthur T. Demoulas,” Andy says. “The new ad should be ready by news conference time, and it will begin airing Wednesday morning across New Hampshire. Corporate greed and executive greed, of the type Scott Brown supports, is destroying America. I am a conservative who stands shoulder-to-shoulder with working families. The Market Basket conflagration is a defining moment for New Hampshire and for America. Will conservatives stand for rebuilding the American economy so that everyone shares in the fruits of their labors, or will conservatives surrender to greedy executives and private equity pirates as they continue to steal a bigger and bigger piece of our national economic pie? Arthur T. Demoulas and I are on the right side of history.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ANNOUNCEMENT OF MANCHESTER, NH NEWS CONFERENCE

ATTENTION NATIONAL, POLITICAL, NEW HAMPSHIRE DAYBOOK & ASSIGNMENT EDITORS

Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will announce a statewide advertising campaign supporting Market Basket workers

Andy calls the Market Basket battle a “defining moment for New Hampshire and for America”

Andy says Market Basket workers are “fighting back against the corporate pirates that now what to destroy their jobs and are destroying our economy. Scott Brown stands for ‘private equity,’ which endorses the plunder of publicly and privately owned assets. I stand with working families that deserve a decent job with a decent paycheck and decent benefits”

“Arthur T. Demoulas and I are on the right side of history,” Andy says.

(Manchester, NH) (July 22, 2014) 

Dear Granite Stater:

Today, July 22nd, I am announcing my statewide advertising campaign supporting Market Basket employees. I am also announcing my full support for Market Basket employees and the restoration of Arthur T. Demoulas as chief executive of the shopping giant. If I am elected to the U. S. Senate I will support Market Basket workers and every Granite Stater that wants to work.

The Republican Party today is composed of two conflicting groups of participants. On the one hand you have the Wall Street billionaires who what to plunder the economy to satisfy their own insatiable greed. Scott Brown is a valet to these economic pirates. A vote for Scott Brown is a vote to destroy Market Basket as we know it.

On the other hand we have millions of ordinary Main Street Americans, many of them Republicans, who are struggling in the endless recession created by an economic collapse triggered by the bipartisan greed of Wall Street billionaires. Making ends meet is not easy for ordinary citizens. Private equity speculators swallow up companies and export local (New Hampshire) jobs to low-wage countries such as China. I have literally walked the highways of this state and seen the devastation created by corporate greed.

One hundred years ago, at the same time as the Demoulas family reached America, my own family came to Manchester seeking better opportunities. Like Arthur T. Demoulas, my mother’s parents, my grandparents, came from Greece and eventually opened a business. These immigrant families also brought with them their ancient Greek principles of respect for their fellow citizens and respect for the dignity of every individual.

Arthur T. Demoulas has probably accomplished something close to impossible in corporate America. He has managed Market Basket in a manner that grew the firm, maintained the highest quality standards, and provided associates with a decent standard of living, decent benefits and a decent future. That's why so many associates have stayed so long and you see familiar faces at Market Basket. Now all of that decency is under attack by Demoulas’ greedy cousins.

We can only speculate on what the “cousins” have in mind, but I can tell you I have seen this movie before. Personal greed is causing the Demoulas “cousins” to attempt to cut quality, cut salaries, cut benefits and eventually shop Market Basket to a “private equity” group of robber barons who will strip the firm of its assets and leave the corporate carcass for the courts to administer.

What exactly is “private equity?” It is the way a handful of insiders get rich on Wall Street by impoverishing the companies they purchase. Corporate equity speculators destroy the communities they serve. They take wealth owned by common shareholders (which includes pension trusts) and strip away any extra value, while leaving ordinary shareholders with virtually nothing in return.

From 2010 to 2013 Scott Brown genuflected to the private equity barons while he served in the U. S. Senate and voted to preserve their rapacious practices. Now Brown wants to go back to the senate and he has asked “private equity” thieves to bring their dollar-crooked presence “to New Hampshire" to help elect him as their servant. In May Brown even went to Las Vegas to personally grovel at their feet; he desperately asked them to finance his latest campaign. Dirty dollars started flowing into New Hampshire.

Private equity speculators destroy community economic value and enrich themselves with billions mulcted from the stock market. They want bigger mansions, bigger yachts, more power and control over Congress, more greed, and more manipulation. The public be damned.

Scott Brown served these robber barons while he served in the senate for three years. Why would you send him back? Why would any New Hampshire worker or New Hampshire voter want more of Scott Brown’s type of duplicity? (Brown was handsomely rewarded for betraying the people of Massachusetts; he received millions of dollars from Wall Street thieves and manipulators in campaign cash.)

I stand for Main Street Republicans and traditional mainstream New Hampshire conservatism.

Our economy is not recovering as it has in past recessions because corporate and executive greed is robbing ordinary citizens of their economic futures. Young families and young graduates have been particularly hard hit by Wall Street greed and the machinations of the finest Congress that dirty dollars can buy. Senior citizens also suffer.

Ironically, ordinary working class Republicans have been intimidated by the “private equity class” that really controls nominations. A vote for Scott Brown is a vote to continue present practices. Senators today are equally corrupt for taking compromised cash and for being under the thumb of Wall Street thieves.

During the last presidential campaign, how many of Mitt Romney’s employees spoke up to support Romney as an enlightened and generous owner? Exactly none. [Compare Romney’s employees with employee support for Artie T.] Romney’s employees despised him. Amazingly, Romney’s minions were looting a Freeport, Illinois firm even as he was running for president. Romney personally is a decent man. But the evil he committed as a corporate raider far exceeded the good he gave back to stranded communities.

Now Romney is endorsing Brown. We all know where that leads. More greed, more self-aggrandizement and more poverty for New Hampshire’s ordinary citizens.

Do you stand with Market Basket workers who are fighting for their jobs and their very lives, or do you stand against them? You know where I stand. Where do you stand?

Before you reply, ask yourself a simple, stupid question. Why are all of these Wall Street billionaires coming to New Hampshire to support Scott Brown? To improve your economic future, or theirs?

Please join me in fighting to save Market Basket.

Loyally,

Andy

P.S. I may be an underdog in the primary but I am the only    Republican candidate who has the experience and who is prepared to stand up for New Hampshire’s working families. It is not often a Republican candidate has a pro-worker orientation. But there are more workers in this country than there are Scott Brown-supporting billionaires. Please consider giving me your vote. Who is more qualified to fight for your values? Who is more qualified to stand up for New Hampshire’s working families? (Hint: It’s not Jeanne Shaheen or Scott Brown)

Republican U. S.

DeMoulas. Andy says the Republican Party must support American workers if it is to survive in New Hampshire and nationally. Andy, a noted private mediator, is also offering to mediate the DeMoulas “family feud.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ANNOUNCEMENT OF MANCHESTER, NH NEWS CONFERENCE

ATTENTION NATIONAL, POLITICAL, NEW HAMPSHIRE DAYBOOK & ASSIGNMENT EDITORS

Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin supports Market Basket employees in DeMoulas family feud, offers to mediate crisis

Andy, whose Greek-American maternal grandparents immigrated to Manchester, New Hampshire at the same time as the DeMoulas family, says that Arthur T. DeMoulas has shown how management can support workers

Andy says his principal opponent, Scott Brown, is backed by billionaire “private equity pirates” who would like to destroy Market Basket

“I’m a Market Basket shopper,” Andy says.

Andy is planning a Tuesday, July 22nd news conference

(Manchester, NH) (July 19, 2014) 

Dear Republican:

I am a solid conservative. I favor limited government, adherence to constitutional principles and a strong focus on both economic and national security.

But I feel a deep sense of kinship with New Hampshire’s workers. I am not particularly enamored of the billionaires who have taken over the Republican Party nationally. The billionaires are supporting my principal primary opponent, Scott Brown.

Right now a fascinating corporate drama is playing out in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Maine. The Market Basket chain of food stores, which was founded a hundred years ago at the same time when my maternal Greek grandparents came to Manchester, is involved in a seemingly endless family struggle. (Small World Department: my maternal grandparents, named Vasiliou, came from the same area of Greece as the DeMoulas family, Thessaly.)

Arthur T. DeMoulas is an amazing man and an even more amazing corporate leader. He has managed to build a firm based on loyalty to and respect for employees, and he has built a company structure where workers can support a family based on a Market Basket paycheck. As a result, Market Basket stores have employees that have worked there for decades.

They are now demonstrating to protest his dismissal.

Food stores have traditionally been seen as a low-wage industry. Mr. DeMoulas has shown that an intensely competitive business can still support decent paychecks and working conditions. As Granite Staters we should be proud that a local firm comes so highly prized by its own employees.

Market Basket employees also offer all of us who shop there an outstanding shopping experience.

By comparison, the Rabb Family started Stop & Shop but later sold the firm to an international conglomerate. Market Basket competitiveness recently forced Stop & Shop to retrench in New Hampshire. A locally-owned and locally-managed firm with intense employee energy took on and beat the foreign conglomerate.

You have to make a moral choice in this primary. Will you stand with a candidate who supports New Hampshire’s working families, or will you vote for a candidate who is supported by out-of-state billionaires? Scott Brown is the champion of Wall Street greed, arrogant and corrupt investment bankers, and billionaire boosters who want low-wage scab labor from Mexico.

I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with ordinary New Hampshire working families that are struggling in our depressed economy.

If our Republican Party is only for the wealthy, it cannot continue to be either a strong New Hampshire party or a competitive national party. We don’t have to always agree on every economic detail. But when national Republicans focus exclusively on the wealthy and their bogus “job-creators,” they ignore the workers who are the backbone of our economy, our families and our society. We need to tell Market Basket workers we stand with them.

Scott Brown’s Wall Street contributors and cronies must be salivating at the prospect that the DeMoulas family quarrel might lead to a sale. The “private equity pirates” that have devastated our economy and our society would flip the company, fire the employees, and ultimately walk off richer while local communities and families end up poorer. It has happened so many times in New Hampshire.

Next week I will hold a news conference to announce my solidarity with Market Basket workers.

I am also going to send a letter to corporate headquarters and offer to mediate the family feud.

New Hampshire is not a particularly rich state. The only limousines I have ever seen in Manchester have high school seniors in them, at prom time. Ostentatious living is frowned on.

But we have something special. We have a sense of community, a sense of sharing, a sense of caring for one another. The Market Basket of today exemplifies those principles. Let’s join together to support Market Basket employees so that all of the good work Arthur T. DeMoulas has done will not be destroyed by family greed and private equity pirates. I know that’s what my grandparents would want. I hope that is what all of us who are genuine Granite Staters want.

Loyally,

Andy

P.S. I may be an underdog in the primary but I am the only Republican candidate who has the experience and who is prepared to stand up for New Hampshire’s working families. It is not often a Republican candidate has a pro-worker orientation. But there are more workers in this country than there are Scott Brown-supporting billionaires.

U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin predicted Barack Obama’s foreign policy paralysis - in 2007

As Barack Obama was announcing his candidacy for president in 2007 analyst/columnist Andy Martin prepared a “Psychological Profile of Barack Obama.” Andy’s analysis predicted with uncanny accuracy how Barack Obama would “freeze up” in the White House. Andy, who was in Iran in 1979 and 1980, remembers the disintegration of the U.S. Government under President Jimmy Carter. Andy’s analysis today focuses on the Russian attack on a Malaysian airliner Thursday, and President Obama’s casual response to the murder of 300 passengers. Andy is a Republican candidate for U.S. Senator in New Hampshire. “I’m not the leading candidate,” Andy says. “But I am the only Republican who can tackle Obama and stop his defeatist agenda. Granite Staters have an unusual opportunity to send a highly qualified candidate to Washington.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin compares his experiences during the Iran hostage crisis (1979-1980) to President Barack Obama’s current paralysis in the Oval Office

Andy says America is now being “held hostage” by a president who has only a tenuous connection to American exceptionalism, a president whose lack of competence and whose emotional detachment are creating a “perfect storm” for American foreign policy and American national security

Andy says Obama is a worse president than Jimmy Carter

(Manchester, NH) (July 18, 2014) 

Dear Republican:

If you have seen the movie “Argo” you know how Hollywood portrays Iran in January, 1980. I was actually in Iran in January, 1980 and vividly remember the experience. In an extraordinary journey, I traveled across Iran encountering situations which were so dangerous I can barely understand how I took each step. My Afghan counterpart [he was later killed in Afghanistan] and I literally drove to the Afghanistan border with Iran and linked up with the mujahideen who were fighting the Russian invasion.

Thirty-five years later, we are once again fighting the Russians. Quite unexpectedly, the Cold War has returned.

I had originally planned to write to you today about Scott Brown’s failed U. S. Senate campaign in New Hampshire. But I put aside my Brown notes after learning of the senseless slaughter of 298 airline passengers and after witnessing President Barack Obama’s detached reaction to the attack on these helpless human beings. My remarks on Brown will hopefully reach you on Saturday. (Brown is not going anywhere before then.)

I not only lived through the Carter era I was in Tehran during the hostage crisis at the American Embassy. I saw the chaos created by Carter’s confused and ambiguous foreign policy. Those who missed the “Carter Years” can now relive them as the “Obama Years.” Chaos has returned. History is repeating itself. America is once again being held hostage. This time by our own president.

Unlike my opponents for the U. S. Senate I am not a politician in the conventional sense of the term. Yes, I can handle the “politics” of a campaign. And I know how to campaign (again unlike my opponents). But I have primarily been involved in public service and fostering the “exceptionalism” that all of us who love America understand.

Obama does not appreciate or accept American exceptionalism, which is why he is a colossal failure as a president.

In a couple of weeks I will “celebrate” ten (10!) years since I first exposed Barack Obama as a political fraud (see link below). I wrote my first criticism of Obama in August, 2004. What distinguishes me as a candidate is that I am probably the only Republican who has delved deeply into Obama’s psyche and analyzed the source of his ambivalence and antipathy to our great nation.

When Obama announced his candidacy in 2007 I prepared a “Psychological Profile of Barack Obama.” The Profile is part of my book “Obama: The Man Behind the Mask.” We often pass out free copies of a special edition of “Mask” for New Hampshire Republicans. Others have to pay for a copy.

In 2007 I gathered up all of the information we knew about Obama and added my own independent research. I sifted through the evidence with friends and colleagues. And here is what I predicted if Obama reached the Oval Office (pp. 9-10 of “Mask”):

Can his personality stand the stress? Probably not…And, ultimately, he will get tired of himself…Obama’s personality matrix left Obama weak inside, weak under the surface, “all sail and no anchor.” He learned to avoid conflict, not fight…He will strive to be a strong leader on the surface, using powerful language and images; but inside he will still be the pied piper of powerlessness. And know it...War is war, but war is also psychology. Obama’s psychology is weak. His presentation today [in February 2007] was weak, and his approach to dealing with his adversaries will ultimately come to be seen as weak.

Sound familiar? Sound like the Obama we know and do not love? I analyzed him and predicted his weakness in office - in 2007. Even liberals have finally realized Obama is not a fighter. He won’t fight for their causes. If he won’t fight for his “base,” why would he battle on behalf of a country he doesn’t love and could care less about?

Against a cold-blooded KGB agent like Vladimir Putin, Obama doesn’t stand a chance. And we are the victims.

That is why Obama was so unemotional and detached on Thursday when he learned about the Russian attack on the Malaysian airliner. That is also why we still don’t know what he did on the evening of September 11, 2012 when our mission in Benghazi, Libya was attacked.

Obama can’t deal with the real world and embrace his obligation to defend our Constitution and our national security. Obama prefers to live in the fantasy world of campaign fundraisers and celebrity hobnobbing.

Obama is still “The Man Behind the Mask.” I got him right in 2007.

Loyally,

Andy

P.S. I may be an underdog in the primary but I am the only Republican candidate who has the experience and who is prepared to stand up to Obama and stop his defeatist/surrenderist agenda. It is not often a “political candidate” has the worldwide experience I do. Please consider giving me your vote. Who is more qualified to fight for your values? Who is more qualified to take on Obama?

Andy Martin: Monica Lewinsky may be the most powerful woman in America today

U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says Monica Lewinsky may be “the most powerful woman in America today.” Andy says Monica could single-handedly bring down Hillary’s presidential campaign by raising questions about Hillary’s integrity. Andy feels Monica is to be commended for coming forth with her interview of experiences in the Bill Clinton White House. Andy has “the talk” with New Hampshire Republicans and says the GOP need not fear an honest discussion of Hillary Clinton’s fractured personal history. Andy also speculates about the accuracy of claims that Scott Brown may have personal problems of his own in Boston.

Dear Republican and New Hampshire citizen:

Today we are going to have “the talk.” If you are embarrassed reading about or discussing “sex,” please read no further.

1. My history in Washington

When I went to the Illinois General Assembly as an intern many years ago, I learned about “Springfield wives.” Legislators would hire “farm girls” and turn them into concubines so that they would have sex readily available during the legislative sessions. Not surprisingly, the legislative sessions became longer and longer over the years. Similar practices exist in other state legislatures. It’s repugnant behavior.

When I went to work for a U. S. Senator I knew he did not have a girl friend. I knew because I was his driver for several months. I can still remember the street number of his home address and his phone number, after all these years. But my senator was a close private friend of President Johnson. Their friendship was to alter the course of my life. And, unavoidably, I also came to find out about President Johnson’s girl friends. One name still sticks in my mind.

I have been in and out of Washington over the past forty-nine years. And I helped out investigating more than one congressional sex scandal. Remember Representative Wayne Hays? I do. And so it goes.

Ordinary men and women go to Washington after being elected in their home states as senators and representatives. The Capitol allows them to think of themselves as gods. Staffers, especially young women, treat them as though they are gods. Scott Brown was not immune to an inflated sense of self-importance. During the 2012 campaign Brown famously told Massachusetts voters that he (Brown) met with “kings and queens” every day. Wow!

Is it any surprise that sexual escapades take place in the charged atmosphere of Washington? No surprise to me. I have seen it all.

And it is equally true that recent college graduates, both men and women, think they know it all. Men and women go to Washington seeking power. And, as former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger once stated, “Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.” But it can be a very capricious aphrodisiac.

2. Lewinsky’s tragic encounter with Bill Clinton

Recently a book was published by a New York socialite who wrote about being seduced, and ultimately abandoned, by President John F. Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was the ultimate seducer. Senator Ted Kennedy? Say no more. Others? The list is long. Remember Representative Gary Condit? Senator Gary Hart?

Thus Lewinsky’s “encounter” with Bill Clinton came as no surprise to me. What was surprising was that Clinton chose to debase the Oval Office and satisfy his sexual appetite right in the heart of the peoples’ house. I have learned about and looked into a lot of sex scandals but Clinton’s was about as coarse and despicable about any imaginable.

And, yes, Monica is right. The sexual encounter was “consensual.” Why would an impressionable young woman turn down the importunations of the president? It was a genuinely disorienting experience. Monica may have flirted with Mr. Clinton. But all of us flirt a little, every day. But we don’t expect our kind remarks and harmless banter to result in a stranger taking us into a closet and demanding sexual satisfaction.

Lewinsky was literally “in the moment.” She obviously had no idea what could happen, and did happen, because she lacked any Washington experience.

Lewinsky didn’t expect Hillary Clinton to unleash her dogs. But Hillary was experienced at destroying Lewinsky’s predecessors. Hillary started demolishing Monica’s character and mental state with relish. Bill Clinton had an experienced sexual response team to protect him: Team Hillary.

Hillary’s behavior and her unhinged state of mind remind me of the movie about unwed mothers that were tortured by Irish nuns. Hillary was the Irish nun par excellance; Monica was her “pregnant” charge. The results were not surprising.

Because the Clintons are political psychopaths, they shred peoples’ lives with impunity and spit them out with immunity, with no more than a passing glance. Monica was just “road kill” for Hillary. Hillary had killed off a lot of “Monicas” before Monica, and Hillary has probably killed off “Monicas” after Monica. Indeed, if you look deeply into Freud, Hillary’s glee in butchering Bill’s paramours was a perverted form of satisfaction for Mrs. Clinton.

Bill didn’t commit just one mistake in an otherwise admirable marriage. The Clinton marriage itself was nothing more than a political sham.

3. Bill Clinton is a sexual predator

Bill Clinton and I both came of age in the 1960’s. The social construct that had hitherto existed started to crumble with the arrival of “the pill” and other contraceptive methods. Many young people were in rebellion. Suffice it to say I know the era in which Bill Clinton came of age.

Knowing Bill Clinton’s “era” is what makes me so amazed at his relentless behavior as a sexual predator. Clinton was not just a seducer, à la Jack Kenney. Bill Clinton was an exhibitionist, rapist and manifested all sorts of other aggressive sexual action. If Clinton had merely romanced a real “girl friend” in the White House, and slipped away to somewhere on Connecticut Avenue for an occasional assignation, no one would have ever known about any of his “Monicas.”

But Clinton was not satisfied with women his age. With Clinton, “sex” was about power and domination, not about sex. His infidelity was as much about inflicting pain on Hillary as it was about providing pleasure to himself. Bill took on all comers. He was an indiscriminate predator.

Monica was young enough to be the president’s daughter. Clinton exercised no caution, no self-restraint, no self-respect. And then he lied. He was the living embodiment of a psycho-sexual predator. He was the embodiment of evil.

Whatever was “wrong” with Clinton hasn't disappeared into the ashcan of his former life. Bill may suppress the “monster” aspects of his personality, as Hillary has suppressed her “monster” tendencies. But their flawed characters are merely hidden beneath the surface of their smiles. To return Bill to the White House, even as First Husband, would probably reopen his floodgates to more sexual infidelities, more embarrassments and more emotional abuse of the now-President Hillary.

Who needs this? After eight years of Obama?

4. Ron Paul did the Republican Party a service

Ron Paul did the Republican Party a service: he raised the issue of Monica Lewinsky in the context of the Democratic Party’s hypocritical attacks on Republicans for a fallacious “war on women.” Senator Paul was attacked by other Republicans for even uttering the words “Monica Lewinsky.” On the contrary, Senator Paul should be congratulated for raising the issue of the “fitness” of both Clintons to ever again reside in the White House.

It is clear that Hillary Clinton is a deeply conflicted and deeply repressed woman who has had to swallow all of Bill’s infidelities in her relentless crusade to be elected president in her own right. But can’t we look back at how she acted and reacted when she lived in the White House? Do we have to put on blinders as to her firing of the travel staff, her abusive treatment of workers and the way she orchestrated and directed the character assassination of every woman who had “sexual relations with that man?”

It is not enough to say that what happened between the Clinton’s is a private matter. Our experience with eight years of the Clintons confirms that how we live our private lives has a direct impact on how we deal with our public responsibilities, and how we conduct ourselves under stress. In a famous 2008 TV commercial, Hillary Clinton confronted candidate Obama about the potential for a “3:00 A.M. telephone call.” But when that “call” ultimately arrived on September 11, 2012, Clinton botched her response to the Benghazi challenge. Obama? He went to bed and hid under his sheets.

The fact that Hillary Clinton has spent forty years “privately” internalizing Bill Clinton’s infidelities is a matter that almost every psychologist would concede is an important factor in assessing her personality now that she is approaching another presidential campaign. Character is formed and informed by experience; Hillary Clinton has been experiencing infidelity and emotional /physical/ sexual denial for forty years.

5. Where do we go from here?

When the news broke that a major new Monica Lewinsky interview was coming this week both liberal and “conservative” media went into full conniption mode. Lewinsky is a disruptive factor in a potential presidential race. The Clintons want to forget and erase their “history,” and focus exclusively on their plans for the “future.” But the reappearance of Monica Lewinsky forces the Clintons to confront the “character” issue. When and how and why did Bill become a sexual predator? He was almost certainly a predator before his marriage to Hillary Rodham. After he married her his abusive behavior was even more pronounced.

And how did Hillary’s emotions and her psyche survive forty years of emotional abuse? Many psychologists would say that emotional abuse -- especially sexual emotional abuse and compulsive philandering - would inflict much more damage on a spouse than mere arguments over the family budget. Hillary is an emotionally abused and emotionally beaten woman who has endured forty years of extreme emotional and psychological torture. We are told this is all part of her unquenchable ambition to be elected president. That’s doesn’t change the “content of her character.” Or her emotional unsuitability to serve as president.

In her highest office to date, Secretary of State, Hillary was totally ineffective (more on that in a future letter). Ironically she ended up serving under another emotionally damaged and unbalanced male though, thankfully, Barack Obama does not appear to be a compulsive womanizer (see my 2007 psychological profile of Obama for a chillingly accurate prediction of how ineffective Obama would be in the White House; it’s in my book [below] and on the Internet).

6. The Bottom line: Monica Lewinsky is a courageous woman

Monica is now 40. Her life has obviously been scarred by her encounter with Bill Clinton. But her life has been scarred as much by Hillary’s character assassination as Bill’s infidelity. Monica has apologized for her poor judgment. Hillary Clinton never has. Will it take a presidential campaign to pry loose the truth from Hillary’s “cold, dead heart?” Thanks Monica; no thanks Hillary.

Actually, today Monica Lewinsky, not Michele Obama, may be the most powerful woman in America. If Lewinsky returns to “silence,” the Clintons may pull off their latest scam and use their daughter as a stage prop to masquerade as a happy family during the 2016 campaign.

But if Monica continues to speak, ever so softly, but with the compelling truth of her unbelievable narrative, she could single-handedly bring down the Clinton presidential campaign and put an end to America’s “long national nightmare” with Bill and Hillary.

Monica, are you up to the task of being a truth teller, whatever the cost and whatever the price you personally have to pay? Time will tell.

And as for Republicans, all they have to do is stand by silently and roll their eyes.

In my humble opinion a nation that would return the Clintons to the White House is a nation that has taken leave of its senses and lost all sense of its national honor.

Sincerely,

Andy

P.S. “Hey, Andy, what about you?”

If you send me to Washington, there will not be any sex scandals in my office. None. Period. I have not led a perfect life. No one has. But I have learned enough through life to know what should be expected of a public official. As for the reports about Scott Brown having a girl fiend, we will have to see how that plays out. Mr. Brown has shown extremely bad judgment in other areas of his life. It would not surprise me if he has to confront a “bimbo eruption.” There are elements of Scott Brown’s and Gail Huff’s marriage that remind me of the Clintons.

New Hampshire News Conference: Scott Brown faces attack ads from Republican U. S. Senate foe Andy Martin

New Hampshire U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will hold a Manchester, NH news conference Friday, March 7th to preview his first attack ad against former Senator Scott Brown. “Mr. Brown has been acting as though the senate nomination is his by default,” Andy says. “But Brown is going to have to fight a rough primary. I will discuss the latest Suffolk University/Boston Herald poll results on Saturday. Friday morning we are producing the first attack ad of the 2014 senate primary campaign. Primaries are about sorting out who is real, and who is unreal. Brown’s recent antics are increasingly confirming he is ‘unreal’ as a New Hampshire candidate. Brown has name recognition but that is all he has. Nothing else. The Suffolk/Herald poll is also am embarrassment to the University of New Hampshire Survey Center that has been rigging its poll results to fit a ‘dirty’ agenda of the Union Leader. I promise New Hampshire voters a great primary, a primary focused on the big issues and the challenges facing our nation. But, as Foster’s Daily Democrat has confirmed (link below), they expect me to come out swinging, and I will. Friday’s new ad confirms that fact. We are calling Scott Brown’s bluff.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ANNOUNCEMENT OF MANCHESTER, NH NEWS CONFERENCE

ATTENTION NATIONAL, POLITICAL, NEW HAMPSHIRE DAYBOOK & ASSIGNMENT EDITORS

Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin begins producing anti-Scott Brown radio commercials today

Andy promises a primary campaign focused on issues of concern to New Hampshire citizens, presented with a new intensity that has been lacking in previous Republican Party primary campaigns

(Manchester, NH) (March 7, 2014) 

Dear Republican:

Friday afternoon I will hold a Manchester News conference to discuss my new attack ad challenging Scott Brown’s bona fides as a New Hampshire senate candidate.

The ad is being produced Friday morning and will start airing next week. It is the first attack ad of the 2014 senate primary, attacking Scott Brown for being a “faux” candidate.

In the past, New Hampshire Republican primaries have been sedate affairs. The result: Republicans have nominated sedate candidates who go on to lose to the brass-knuckled Democrats led by Ray Buckley.

Last year, in an interview with WMUR-TV, Ovide Lamontagne said he was surprised by the intensity of the Democrats’ personal attacks directed against him in 2012. He also said he didn’t know how to run against a woman. I do. Ovide was one of the finest persons ever to seek office; he just wasn’t the right fit for today’s rough-and-tumble politics. Ray Buckley’s rabid attack dogs slaughtered Lamontagne.

Whoever is nominated by the Republicans to face Shaheen will have to run the gauntlet of Buckley’s rabid mutts. The only question is who can stand up to the Democrats’ smears, and who can fight back against their attacks. Democrats will smear any Republican. But if “any Republican” does not fight back, Shaheen wins.

As a young law student, I started out fighting corruption in Illinois politics. Later I went on to help send corrupt judges to federal prison. Fighting the Chicago Crime Syndicate was scary. My life was threatened. But I never backed off. I fought back.

In 2004 I wrote the first article exposing Barack Obama as a fraud. Later, Obama’s thugs attacked me on national television. But I kept exposing and documenting Obama's unfitness for office.

Being in the national spotlight means you have been vetted; you have proven you can stand up to the liberal media's smear machine. I only wish people had listened to my evidence against Obama. Sadly, John McCain, who is a pretty good senator, was a lousy candidate for president.

What’s the bottom line? The only two prospective opponents for Jeanne Shaheen who have been tested at the national level are myself and Scott Brown. And Brown showed in Massachusetts he has what boxers call a “glass jaw.” As for Bob Smith, it’s a pity to see what remains of him, so I will avoid attacking Smith today. One look at him tells you Smith is not ready for the intensity of an anti-Shaheen campaign.

Obviously I am not as well known as Brown. That’s what primary campaigns are for. To expose candidates to the voters, and to preview different campaigning styles.

Now that Foster’s Daily Democrat has blown the cover on who is a tough campaigner, and who is not, by attacking me for a few humorous digs at Brown and Smith, New Hampshire liberals are scurrying for their foxholes.

Defeating Jeanne Shaheen is not going to be easy. Republicans who think she will be a pushover are delusional. That is why “reluctant candidate” Scott Brown’s refusal to start an early campaign and to devote full time to campaigning against a formidable incumbent shows he is not a serious opponent for Shaheen. Brown has become intoxicated by his own bloviation and by the adulation of some New Hampshire Republicans who are trying to recruit him to run. But Brown is a lover, not a fighter; and he has fallen in love with himself. That’s why Shaheen keeps goading Brown to run; she knows he is a doofus.

Well, Friday we will start calling Brown’s bluff.

As I will explain in a second news conference on Saturday, my attack ads are going to smoke out Brown and force him to come out of his own foxhole. When Democrats attacked Romney in 2012 and Mitt did not respond, Romney lost the edge and eventually lost the election. If I challenge Brown on radio and TV and he says and does nothing, he will be toast.

You have a ringside seat at what is going to be my effort to take down Brown, and then take down Shaheen. Once I send Brown to the showers Shaheen is going to know her time in Washington is over.

I hope you will keep an open mind and give me an opportunity to win your support. We must defeat Jeanne Shaheen in 2014 to defeat Barack Obama’s malignant agenda in 2015. Maybe you didn’t listen to me in 2004 and 2008; well, you got Obama. Please listen to me this time. Barack Obama is primed to destroy America as we know it in 2015. Obama knows his days in power are limited. He will try to implement his anti-American agenda, surrendering to foreign dictators and passing out welfare benefits to everybody and anybody. And if you let her, Shaheen will be there by his side as Obama’s most loyal acolyte in the Senate.

Loyally,

Andy
