Illinois Republicans cheat the state out of $50 million; liberal media scam readers and viewers with a bogus “Illinois primary”

It’s “scam time” in Illinois. Illinois Republican leaders scamming the state out of $50 million. The liberal media are scamming Americans with bogus stories about a critical “Illinois primary.” There is no such beast. Independent Republican Presidential candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin explains how the Illinois Republican party leadership cheated the state out of $50 million. In a double-barreled attack, Andy also explains how the national media are scamming readers and viewers with talk of an “Illinois primary.” There is no “primary,” Andy says, “just 18 local elections.” It’s another Illinois scam from America’s “Capital of Corruption,” the home of both Andy and “Scammer-in-Chief” Barack Obama. Andy has been exposing and fighting Illinois corruption for forty-seven years. Andy’s work is not done.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Republican Presidential candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin explains why the “Illinois primary” now being promoted by the liberal establishment media does not exist in reality.

Andy also explains how rule-or-ruin Republican Party leaders scammed the state out of $50 million in electioneering expenditures

(CHICAGO) (March 15, 2012) Independent Republican Presidential Candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin explains why there is no “Illinois primary,” and why Illinois Republican leaders scammed the bankrupt state out of $50 million in political expenditures:

I am getting bombarded by a constant stream of robo-calls trashing Rick Santorum in the March 20^thnon-existent “Illinois “primary.” Oy vey. So what’s the truth? The truth is it’s all lies. Hey, this is Illinois. There is no “primary” in the “Illinois primary.” Surprised?

I first went to the Illinois General Assembly as an intern in 1965. I have spent forty-seven years observing and exposing, and fighting, the “finest politicians money can buy.” So I speak with experience. Illinois justly deserves its nickname as America’s “Capital of Corruption.” (Oh, and “Happy Governor- Rod-Blagojevich-Goes-To-Prison-Day,” today, but that’s another story.)

PART ONE: THERE IS NO “ILLINOIS PRIMARY”

As this is written on March 15^th the national media are promoting frenzy over the “critical” Illinois primary on March 20^th. But, while people can cast a “vote,” sadly, there is no real “Illinois primary.”

Herewith a couple lines of preliminary explanation. As my new line says, “I’m a ‘Draft Horse,’ not a ‘Dark Horse’ in the presidential campaign.” Newt Gingrich legitimized my strategy this week when he disclosed his own self-confessed “Draft Horse” strategy. My campaign operates on a “Santorum shoestring.” Think of us as a small but influential boutique campaign, competing against national chain store candidates. While Mitt Romney says it would take an ‘act of God’ for me or anyone but him to win, the Republican Party is so flush with godly voters right now anything can happen. And just might.

Short answer; I’m in the race to the convention to help keep the Republican Party honest. It’s a full-time job. Shovel-ready.

So why did I decide not to invest in putting my name on my home-state Illinois statewide “primary” ballot? Because it was a waste of time and a waste of money. There is no “presidential primary.”

At the statewide level, Illinois conducts a “beauty contest” vote on May 20th. That is, the “votes” voters cast for candidates on the presidential primary ballot on March 20^th are meaningless. They do not allocate a single delegate. All of the delegates are allocated based on district-by-district results.

In effect, Illinois is having 18 mini-elections for national convention delegates. Rounding up delegates and alternates in eighteen (18) districts is costly and complicated. There are several districts where Santorum did not even qualify. No delegates for Rick in these districts. The only candidate who has delegate slates in every district is Romney.

So whatever the outcome of the delegate-less “beauty contest” primary “vote,” Romney has probably already won the “primary” by having the stronger delegate slates in the 18 districts.

Romney’s team is led by a statewide official who is a putative candidate for governor in 2014. Because Romney’s “leader” has his own Rolodex and his own network of supporters who are grooming him for statewide office, he was able to round up a strong delegate slate for Romney across the state.

So, yes, national convention delegates will be allocated in 18 separate elections (“We don’t want no stinkin proportional representation in Illinois”). But the “statewide” vote is meaningless and carries no significance (Missouri-style).

How did Illinois end up defying the Republican National Committee’s “rules” mandating promotional representation for pre-April 1st “primaries?” “Dey dhumbed dheir noses at dem googoos in Washington.”

PART TWO: ILLINOIS STATE REPUBLICAN LEADERS VIOLATED NATIONAL PARTY RULES IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEIR OWN CORRUPT POWER; THAT’S WHY THERE IS NO “PROPORTIONAL ALLOCATION” OF DELEGATES

There is no question that genuine primaries are big business. The New Hampshire primary is an open process. The state reaps millions of dollars in revenue from campaigns. If Illinois Republican leaders had agreed to allocate convention delegates on a proportional basis, the state would have received at least $50 million in electioneering expenditures. I would have certainly gone to the expense of getting on the ballot. Even my “boutique” campaign could have won some delegates. So what happened?

First, the facts. Illinois has the most corrupt state Republican Party in the nation. The Illinois Republican Party is a partially-owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party. One writer calls the two parties a “Combine,” not competitors. There is an informal agreement to “share their spoils,” which is why we now have—in an extreme act of political fairness and political correctness— one Democratic governor and one Republican governor in federal prison. You can’t get any more “swing state” than that.

The current Corrupt-Republican-in-Chief is State Chairman Pat Brady. Brady is a lawyer. As lawyers, we are unfailingly polite to each other. If I am protesting a corrupt Brady event, he sends out a box lunch to make sure my tummy doesn’t hurt. I never make ugly remarks. I protest with a smile. But really, Illinois is still not yet “ready for reform.” I know it’s a tough slog. But I’m not a quitter in the never-ending war against Illinois corruption (see www.AndyMartin.com for my successful record of fighting crooks).

I strongly urged Brady to obey the RNC mandate and tell the Republican Party State Central Committee, an unelected and sclerotic organization, to allocate delegates proportionately based on the outcome of the statewide vote, in other words to abolish the meaningless “beauty contest.” But the last thing Republican leaders wanted was an open and honest party, or an open and honest primary. They held a “meeting” and voted “no” to proportional representation based on statewide voting.

Republican leaders both within the party structure and at the legislative level work diligently to defeat reform Republicans, and to prevent reform Republican victories. They work to keep “just enough” Republicans in power so their spoils-sharing system with the Democrats can continue. Why encourage people to run for office and win, when those winners might reject the spoils system and start demanding clean government?

To date, reformers such as myself and others have been unable to break the stranglehold which the “Combine Crooks” have on state Republican Party structure. The statewide party is doing so well under Brady they are down to one employee and “lost the lease” to their statewide headquarters. That’s what passes for “success” in the Illinois Republican Party. Total failure.

So—no surprise—the party leaders voted against proportional allocation of delegates for the March 20^th election and voted to continue the boss-dominated individual district system of choosing delegates. The corrupt “establishment” glommed on to Mitt Romney not because they like Mitt but because he offered the best opportunity to perpetuate their shrinking power base.

Bottom line: the Illinois Republican Party does not exist to expand the base of the party, or to win elections, but merely to perpetuate the power of a steadily shrinking handful of corrupt politicians and their toadies. That’s why the state committee voted against holding a real primary election in which votes would be allocated on a proportional basis of the statewide totals. They were afraid they would lose!

And Illinois businesses are also the loser. I estimate a real primary, with a real election and a real outcome with delegates allocated on a proportional basis, would have pumped approximately $50 million into the bankrupt Illinois economy. Is the Illinois Republican Party the party of “business?” Not when “business” conflicts with political corruption.

Republican leaders are only the “party” of their own personal “business” and their own self-perpetuation in office. They could care less what is best for the state. Illinois was once a national powerhouse; today the state is bankrupt. Both political parties, not just both governors, ought to be in federal prison.

Sadly, Illinois Republicans rejected a real primary and rejected proportional allocation. They preferred instead to rig and control the primary process through 18 mini-primaries they could handle much more easily than one big statewide vote. Result? The state’s economy lost fifty million desperately needed dollars of pre-primary political spending as candidates refused to invest in a meaningless and delegate-less statewide vote. Thus there is no real primary on March 20^th. Romney has already won the delegate battle, and the State of Illinois is once again the loser.

So why are the national media trumpeting the “critical Illinois primary?” There’s no there there.

[Footnote: additional “at-large” delegates will also be appointed in June, at a “state convention” that is controlled by the Combine Crooks.]

Taking a shower with Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum

No, Independent Republican Presidential Candidate and conservative blogger Andy Martin is not gay. He is not planning to “shower with Santorum.” But lately every time Andy hears or sees Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum on TV Andy feels like taking a shower. Santorum’s vile campaign makes Andy feel dirty. Since Andy has spent almost fifty years fighting corrupt Chicago politicians, Andy knows “dirty.” Santorum is dirty and getting dirtier. For shame.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Andy Martin says he has started to feel like he needs to shower every time he hears or sees Rick Santorum on TV

Andy says Santorum is a religious tyrant who is seeking to exploit political bigotry for his own personal advantage

Andy reminds that he’s the only presidential candidate who actually shops at Wal-Mart (no Cadillacs, no multi-millionaire friends)

(NEW YORK) (March 1, 2012) When Rick Santorum was down in the polls, in the early debates, I liked his manufacturing policy. I think we need to do more than just level the playing field, tax-wise, for manufacturing. We need to create real incentives to bring manufacturing back to the United States. Whether he glommed on to a good issue, or really believes what he says about manufacturing, I don’t know. But “way back then” I liked and agreed with Santorum.

I also agreed with every Republican (including me) when we pushed back against Barack Obama’s attempt to use Obamacare to dictate medical insurance policy to religious institutions. No one had to “take one for the team” as Santorum says he did in the Senate, because the team was united against Obamacare and Obama’s religious diktats.

But I think I now know why the people of Pennsylvania rejected Rick Santorum for reelection in 2006. Santorum is a flake and a religious extremist.

I know Mitt Romney sometimes says stupid things, but Romney is basically a competent and sincere man who babbles on about his “Cadillacs” and “NASCAR owners.” Sometimes Romney reminds me of those goofy dads in 1950’s sitcoms (Life of Riley, Ozzie and Harriet?) Fundamentally, Romney is a conscientious conservative.

Santorum, on the other hand, wants to establish a Roman Catholic dictatorship in the White House. No birth control, no premarital sex, no abortions and (keep ‘em ignorant) no higher education (except for the Santorum family). Let the priests handle everything. The way it was back in the Middle Ages.

Why doesn't Santorum ask his wife about premarital sex? She lived for years with an abortion doctor. Santorum still married her despite her “past.”

I’m a conservative and I’m a Republican. I happen to think that then-Senator Jack Kennedy’s speech on religious freedom brought all religions into the mainstream, by separating religious doctrine from political policy. Kennedy broke down the barriers of bigotry against Roman Catholics. Santorum wants to rebuild them.

Frankly, I wanted to throw up when I heard Santorum say he wanted to throw up when he heard Kennedy’s 1960 speech.

Santorum (who is now trying to walk back his despicable comments, see link below) totally distorted what Kennedy said. But then Santorum distorts what everyone says. That’s because Santorum is basically a religious tyrant, as narrow-minded and dictatorial in his own way as the ayatollahs he obsesses over in Islam.

Kennedy never sought to block Roman Catholics “from the public square” as Santorum falsely accuses him. Kennedy stated Catholics could be welcome in government because Catholics were just as committed to safeguarding the public square as any other believers.

Today, in 2012, it is hard to remember how blindly some Roman Catholics followed priestly directions back in the 1960’s. One of my dearest girl friends used to start some discussions with “The church doesn’t…” Santorum still believes in that kind of priestly obeisance.

There are some states which conduct “open” primaries, where Democrats and independents can vote. Until Santorum made robo-calls to Democrats, asking them to vote against Romney in Michigan, I am not aware of other Republicans who have deliberately and intentionally and openly asked Democrats to interfere in a Republican primary. (Santorum says Romney solicited Democrats in New Hampshire, but I was there in New Hampshire and I do not remember any blatant invitations to Democrats to vote in January’s Republican primary).

I was Barack Obama’s first opponent, in 2004, when I began writing about him and exposing the truth about the “Mysterious Mr. Obama.” I desperately want to see Obama removed from the White House. Rick Santorum is not the man to do the job. Santorum is doing irreparable harm to the “Republican brand” by trying to gin up religious extremism as a “litmus test” for the ultimate Republican opponent who will face Obama.

Santorum was wrong for Pennsylvania in 2006; he is wrong for America in 2012.

Now let me shower. After writing about Santorum, let alone watching him on TV, I feel unclean. He has morphed from being a good guy into being the dirty of the dirtiest.

P.S. If you don’t like Romney, vote for me. I’m still working to be on the ballot in late primary states. I don’t have any Cadillacs and I don’t know any multi-millionaire auto racing owners. I’m the only presidential candidate who actually shops at Wal-Mart.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN NEWS CONFERENCE

ATTENTION NATIONAL AND NEW HAMPSHIRE DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS

Andy Martin will picket the NBC News/Meet The Press debate with “Hatebusters”

Andy says the media are still not offering viewers/voters an introspective look at the presidential candidates

Andy says “hate speech” by presidential candidates is a particularly pernicious policy for the Republican Party

Later, Sunday afternoon, Andy will hold a news conference to criticize Newt Gingrich for his corrupt campaign and his receipt of 5 million from gambling interests in Las Vegas

Andy has joined the Concord Cooperative Market and plans a long-term commitment to New Hampshire as other presidential candidates glom on to Andy’s issues

Andy says when he announced his candidacy in 2010 he promised to “drive the agenda,” and he is doing just that: more candidates are now adopting Andy’s opposition to the Northern Pass proposal

(CONCORD, NH) (January 8, 2012) Independent Republican Presidential Candidate Andy Martin will hold a Concord, NH news conference Sunday morning, January 8th as he leaflets in front of Concord’s Capital Center for the Arts before the NBC News/Meet The Press “debate.” Taking a phrase reform the Hollywood film, Andy has dubbed his campaign team “The Hatebusters.”

Andy will be distributing a campaign flyer that criticizes his presidential campaign opponents for hate speech and the refusal to reject support from extremist groups.

“Ron Paul accepts support from White Supremacists, anti-Semites,

neo-Nazis and a former Klu Klux Klan leader. Why won’t Ron Paul issue a simple statement and say ‘Thanks but no thanks. I categorically reject any and all support from proponents of hate.’ For Paul to merely ‘disagree’ with his supporters while continuing to accept their support is disingenuous.

“Rick Santorum is perhaps the most vocal proponent of starting a war with Iran and plunging our nation into what could become a world war that America has to fight alone. Newt Gingrich has just accepted $5 million in campaign cash from a supporter that also wants to trigger a new war with Iran.

“Gingrich also attacks young Americans who are having difficulties finding a job in our troubled economy, all while Gingrich profits from his lobbying and ‘consulting’ work for special interests. The ‘revolving door’ in Washington is revolving very profitably for Mr. Gingrich. Gingrich often acts as though he hates America because we are unworthy of his great ego.

“‘Hate’ is not the way to defeat Barack Obama this year,” Andy observes. “The Republican Party should reject support from extremists and reject bellicose rhetoric that will only create a more difficult environment. If anyone fires on our sailors or Marines, we should return the fire with a lethal response. We should wipe out any adversary that challenges freedom of the seas. But we should not make threats that are self-defeating and self-destructive to our foreign policy. The commander-in-chief who brings our men and women uniform home, and manages to keep the peace without starting new wars, is the type of leader we need.

“Today the Republican Party is under siege by the ‘Crackos’ and ‘Wackos.’ On the one hand we have the crackpots led by Ron Paul that want to shut down our national role and withdraw to Fortress America. That approach is childlike in its naiveté and unsustainable in reality. On the other hand we have the Wackos such as Gingrich and Santorum that want to start a war with Iran. We cannot afford to allow Barack Obama to campaign as the ‘adult’ in foreign policy. If we make that mistake, we lose in 2012.

“When I announced my candidacy in December, 2010 I promised to ‘drive the agenda’ in the presidential campaign. I came out against Northern Pass last year and marched over 40 miles to demonstrate my opposition. I was the only presidential candidate to take a stand against Northern Pass. Now more candidates are glomming on to my position in the closing days of the campaign. My foresight has been vindicated. My sound judgment on behalf of the people of New Hampshire has been confirmed. Saving ‘The Balsams’ and stopping the looting of the Tillotson Trust is another ‘campaign’ I will continue to wage as New Hampshire’s Favorite Son.”

At approximately 9:30 A.M. Andy will head for church services at the Episcopal Church in downtown Concord.

Andy has also joined the Concord Cooperative Market. “Fighting Northern Pass and saving the Tillotson Trust from its greedy predators and faithless trustees is going to require a long-term commitment,” Andy says. “I will not abandon the people of New Hampshire on January 11th. There is much more work to be done. Supporting local agriculture will be a part of my ongoing commitment to New Hampshire, which is why I have joined the Concord Cooperative Market.”

Sunday afternoon Andy will hold a Concord news conference to criticize Newt Gingrich for running a “corrupt campaign.”
