FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Republican U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says
former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown is a “Walking Dead” political zombie
in the Granite State
Andy says Brown’s remarks to politico.com show
Brown making a fool of himself and reflecting extreme arrogance towards New
Hampshire Republicans
Andy says Brown is increasingly a “zombie
candidate” that cannot seriously challenge Jeanne Shaheen for reelection
(Manchester, NH)
(March 5, 2014)
Dear Republican:
Massachusetts
political zombie Scott Brown has been haunting the New Hampshire U. S. Senate
primary like a disconnected episode of “The Walking Dead.” Is Scott Brown a
“dead man walking?” That is my opinion. After reading the following remarks I
invite you to decide for yourself.
1. Brown’s
bizarre comments to Politico.com (links below)
Brown
gave a bizarre interview to Politico.com on March 3rd. When asked if he was
running for the senate from New Hampshire, Brown said he “would ‘probably’
make a decision before the June filing deadline.” What does that mean? The
remark was so quirky that the Politico writer put “probably" in quotes. How do you “probably”
decide by a filing deadline? If you do not decide by them, the decision is made
for you by state law. The filing period closes.
Brown’s
strange characterization of his decision timetable means one of two things.
First, he has decided not to run and he will end his campaign charade before the
filing deadline. Second, he has decided to run and does not feel pressed to
organize and prepare for a serious campaign against a serious opponent.
Serious candidates
for office plan ahead. They plan long in advance. They do not wait until the
filing deadline to announce their intentions.
Last
Memorial Day weekend I announced that I would challenge Jeanne Shaheen. At the
time Shaheen seemed impregnable for reelection and no one else was bothering to
put together a campaign against her.
I
developed a plan of attack and have been executing the game plan since them.
The only thing that has changed since last Memorial Day is that many Republicans
now think Shaheen is a goner the same way they said Obama was a goner in 2011.
Republicans often live in a dream world; a neighbor told me in 2011 that a “ham
sandwich” could defeat Obama in 2012. The ham sandwich lost.
I have put
a lot of serious thought into developing an approach to defeating Shaheen, and weighing
my credentials for the job.
Brown is
flippant about running against Shaheen. Scottie seems to live in a parallel
universe, where what Scott wants, Scott gets. No questions asked. Tell that to
Senator Elizabeth Warren. Brown could not win as an incumbent running against a
neophyte candidate in 2012. Now he claims he can run as a challenger and sweep
away a savvy incumbent.
Brown’s
“attitude” and behavior are very strange for someone who says he is giving
thought to running.
2. What
was Brown doing on Capitol Hill on a day the place was closed?
Politico
asked Brown was doing on Capitol Hill on a day a major snowstorm has closed the
capital. Brown responded “Lots of different things.” When someone says they are
doing “lots of things” and won’t identify any of them, something is amiss.
3. Sometimes
the opposition tells the truth about us
I am
running ads attacking Jeanne Shaheen. My ads are truthful.
In 2012,
Brown was financed by big business interests. In 2013 ads supporting Brown were
sponsored by the billionaire corporate welfare cheat Joe Ricketts, from Chicago. Does New Hampshire really want a Chicago-controlled U. S. Senator? Is it an attack to
tell the truth about Brown?
In a few
days I will start running attack ads against Brown. Is he going to say my ads
are goading him to battle me in the primary? Brown seems to think that only the
pro-Brown, Ricketts-paid ads that support him are truthful. In reality, Brown
brings a lot of Massachusetts baggage with him to New Hampshire (more on that later in the
week).
4. Brown
has never faced a real primary election
Brown’s
casual attitude about becoming a candidate for a serious office indicate he
thinks the nomination is his for the asking. In addition to the three
home-grown “zombies,” (Rubens, Testerman and Smith) I am in the race. No one
who has ever faced me in court or in politics came away thinking I was a
pushover.
I have a
reputation as an experienced political infighter. Just ask Barack Obama. I made
his life miserable in 2007 and 2008 when I exposed all of Obama's fraudulent
claims. My research ignited a firestorm of hostile reporting about Obama. While
no one can be exact, at the time I saw estimates that my writing could have
cost Obama over 5 million votes.
When
John McCain’s campaign imploded in 2008, I stepped up and fought Obama tooth and
nail. In return, Obama’s thugs attacked me. Take a look at the links below.
I
accused Obama of planning a “radical overthrow of the government.” Who would
argue about that conclusion today? Is Obama a radical? (In 2011, Jennifer Horn
went on the radio and attacked me for exposing Obama. She has never apologized for
her infamous attack on me.) So when I say I have a plan, and am making
preparations to attack Shaheen, I have a proven track record at both the
statewide and national level of doing just that. What about “Zombie” Brown or
the other local zombies? Not so much. Who do you want leading the attack on
Shaheen. Me? Or one of the four zombies?
5. Will
Brown take the New Hampshire Republican Party leadership down
with him?
Brown
may not run. Or he may run and lose. I seriously doubt he can defeat Shaheen.
Brown has more baggage than Shaheen, and she has proven to be a more skillful
politician. So if Brown loses, what happens to the New Hampshire Republican
Party “leadership” that has relentlessly and shamelessly promoted Brown? Will
Brown take down these local “leaders” with him? It would appear so.
In
conclusion, you can agree with me, or disagree with me. We can have honest
differences. But my ideas and views are out there for you to criticize or endorse.
I am thinking seriously about the race, was the first to announce as a
candidate and I have a rational game plan to attack and defeat Shaheen. Unlike
Brown I don’t think Shaheen is just going to wilt and collapse. I actually have
anti-Obama, anti-Shaheen credentials to run against Shaheen. Brown doesn’t. He
is just a Massachusetts political zombie who wandered
into New Hampshire and decided he should be brought
back to life as a U.S. Senator from this state. The Walking Dead.

ujntsman wasd reelected in November, 2008. A few
monrths later he resigned to serve
his president,” Barack Obama. SDo whyh was it so terrible that Palin resigned
and Hutsman served evenless of his secondterm? Can I say “double standard”
again.
What os this show us? Whetyher thessue s
