Media declare “Kirk Kaput:” Andy Martin the surprise frontrunner for U S Senator in Illinois Republican primary

In forty-eight hours, the mainstream media have removed Mark Kirk from his perch as the “done deal” Republican nominee for U. S. Senator. Andy Martin launched one of the most devastating media attacks in American political history. Martin promises a new “Bunker Buster” anti-Kirk ad for January 6th.

“Our society is saturated with hypocrisy,” Martin says. “Liberals have a program they love called ‘Hardball,’ and Anderson Cooper calls a segment ‘Raw Politics,’ but when they actually see raw politics and hardball in action, their composure collapses. My campaign is poised to score the upset of the decade on February 2nd. Conservatives want to win. We are going to deliver a real conservative victory on February 2nd.”

Forty-eight hours that changed American politics

Mainstream media collapse in disarray as conservative Republicans rally to Andy Martin

Dear Illinois Republican:

Several weeks ago I began announcing “D-Day” for December 28th. I said we would launch game-changing attacks. I am a man of my word.

On Sunday (December 27) my campaign issued a statement claiming we were going to turn Illinois politics upside down. We were wrong. We are turning American politics upside down!

Simply by telling voters the truth about my opponent.

I am just a straightforward hard-charging Fighting Illini. Everything I learned in life I learned in Memorial Stadium. As a freshman, Coach Ray Eliot regaled me with the upset Fighting Illini victory that was led by the cry “Send Ameche at me.” I have this to say to the liberal media: Send Kirk at me. We’ll beat him.

The media began with their typical malicious attacks on me. Lies, distortions. Not one positive word about someone who has been a successful corruption fighter. Just bald-faced efforts to smear me (see www.AndyMartin.com for my bio.) Just ask Sarah Palin what these people are like.

The “hate parade” was led by Nell Steinberg, a Sun-Times "columnist" who accused all downstaters of being ignoramuses. You should know, in the same spirit of full disclosure that media apply to me, that Mr. Steinberg was criminally charged with beating his wife and being a drunk, and entered rehab. I think Steinberg needs to stay in rehab. To protect his wife. My victory on February 2nd will keep Steinberg in rehab.

Gay media across the country have declared Mark Kirk a homosexual. In fact, one gay publication (San Diego) is suggesting Kirk’s campaign is collapsing the same way Tiger Woods did.

Carol Marin of NBC-TV is afraid “the wrong people will be voting.” That means YOU. In other words, not “her people.” Liberals.

Now conservative publications are rallying to my campaign and comparing my honesty with Mark Kirk’s lifetime of duplicity, deceit and deception (D-Day?). See http://rffm.typepad.com/. Even political opponents who are supporting other candidates are collapsing their opposition and admitting my radio advertising about Kirk is 100% true. One of the people mentioned in the ad, Ray True, calls me the “ultra” conservative in the race. Now he tells us.

The media thought their lies would finish me off. Once again, they were wrong. I see a tsunami of conservative support flowing in our direction. The momentum has shifted to my campaign. Victory is in sight.

If conservatives stick together and join my campaign, we will defeat Kirk and claim the nomination as ours. It has to be a team effort. On February 2nd we can celebrate a national victory for conservatives. Take that Barry Obama.

The media are running scared. They were caught lying to you about Kirk. What else are they lying about? Me, for example. For months the media lied to you and tried to get you to believe you had no choice in the primary. Now, thanks to my ads, you know the truth. We exploded Kirks balloon in 48 Hours. 48 Hours that changed American politics.

Tell voters the truth, and the mainstream media panic. Now you know why the Chicago Tribune once called me an “absolutely brilliant campaigner” and a “master” campaigner.

And, by the way watch for an even bigger “Bunker Buster” ad next January 6th. Kirk is toast.

We’re winning. Please join my team and we will roll to victory over Kirk and Brady on February 2nd.

Happy New Year,

Andy Martin

P.S. We need cash, lots of it, to keep the ads on the air. We need even more cash to platform the “Bunker Buster” ad across the state on 200 radio stations. Please donate at our web site www.AndyforUSSenator.com. Now. Don’t miss this chance to score the conservative upset win of the new decade. If we win on February second, conservatives across America will win.

Conservative Republicans defend Andy Martin against media attacks

Local media suggest that the corrupt Illinois “Combine” rigged Republican leader Pat Brady’s smear attack on Andy Martin in advance. Do internal polls show Andy Martin winning on February 2nd? Is that what Brady and Mark Kirk are really afraid of?

Republicans launch counterattack on Chicago
media’s efforts to smear Andy Martin

Dear Illinois Republican:

You may have heard Pat Brady’s attack on me. Mr. Brady had no authority to use the Illinois Republican Party apparatus to smear primary election candidates. Brady is a formally announced supporter of Mark Kirk. Brady’s organization took $50,000 in cash “hush money” from Kirk.

Both the Chicago Sun-Times and Chicago Tribune published lurid attacks on me and my advertising yesterday. Most of the content of the articles was outright lies or distortions. But here’s the clincher. Neither reporter made any effort to speak with me.

Likewise, other media published false claims about me. I wonder what they are afraid of? Why do the media lie?

They lie because they do not know any conservative Republicans. They live in a liberal cocoon where anyone who threatens their orthodoxy is smeared with lies and distortions.

But real Republican conservatives are behind me and my campaign to defeat Mark Kirk. That’s what counts on February 2nd.

Republican Chairman Pat Brady is nothing but a stooge of the corrupt “Combine” that controls both political parties in this state. Polling probably shows that I am beating Kirk in the primary. That’s why he attacked me. The Combine is terrified I am winning the primary. Brady’s attack on me confirms I am the most powerful Republican for U. S. Senator. The Combine feared Senator Peter Fitzgerald and destroyed his career. I won’t let the Combine do the same to me.

One writer suggests that Brady’s attack was prepared in advance; Brady was just looking for an excuse to smear my candidacy, all as Kirk’s announced supporter:

I don’t know who writes Cao’s blog, but has anyone from the media studied that analysis of my ad? Not likely. If you want to read what real Republicans think, read on:

http://caosblog.com/archives/15610#comment-3016045

Here is my posting/response to Cao’s blog:

My radio ad on Mark Kirk is absolutely factually correct. I realize the ad may offend some people, but then Mark Kirk in the U. S. Senate for six years would be even more offensive.

I respect the right of anyone to disagree with me, but I believe that honest campaigns sometimes have to be tough campaigns, when you are running, as I am, against a political fraud such as Mark Kirk. The liberal gay-dominated media in Chicago are promoting Kirk and trying to nominate him by default. They ignore the other candidates. I will not lie down and surrender to liberal media fraud. I am fighting to become a senator, and I will fight for the people of Illinois and the American people as your U. S. Senator in Washington.

The claim by some that my honesty somehow endangers Republicans is complete nonsense. Republican dishonesty is our biggest enemy. We can’t lie to ourselves about Kirk during the primary, and then blame others when the Democrats blow up his campaign next summer. Pat Brady’s hypocrisy is the real enemy of every Republican.

We drop the next “bunker buster” on Mark Kirk on January 6th. Be listening.

We’re winning. Please join my team and we will roll to victory over Kirk and Brady on February 2nd.

Happy New Year,

Andy Martin
