Jack Roeser Speaks for Himself

When there is an unauthorized use of your name, by discredited Senate candidate Andy Martin in this case, the old adage is "don't wrestle in the mud with a pig, you just get muddy and the pig likes it."

However, Martin continues to run his ad, and its subject is so salacious it won't die down.

Martin has a long reputation for running for office, suing people, and making irresponsible statements. I have no connection with Martin and I don't like what he does. I resent his unauthorized use of my name in his ad. WLS radio says they can't legally stop it.

Martin plucked out one of the many bad positions taken by Senate candidate Mark Kirk that I had enumerated. The list includes carbon tax and trade, abortion support, opposition to marriage being one man and one woman, his NARAL support rating, and a rumor of homosexuality which he lifted into his ad and named me as the source.

The rumor has had wide circulation in Washington, D.C. and Illinois. We didn't start it, and mentioned it only in a long list of things that should be cleared up by Mark Kirk before the primary election. The Republican Party should not be again stuck with a scandal such as that of former Florida GOP Congressman Mark Foley which led to extensive Republican loses in 2006. Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert also saw his reputation damaged as a result of his failure to responsibly handle the broad issue of homosexuality and public service.

Roeser wants nothing to do with Martin ad

Andy Martin's political ad questioning the sexual orientation of Mark Kirk, the Republican Party's front-runner in the U.S. Senate race in Illinois, continues to run in the Chicago market. But on Tuesday, local businessman Jack Roeser, who is quoted in the ad, said he is having his attorney look into getting the spot off the radio and/or having his name removed from it.
"I have nothing to do with that SOB," Roeser said about Martin. "His reputation precedes him. I don't like being quoted by him, and I don't support anything he does."

Roeser, founder of Otto Engineering in Carpentersville, also is involved with the nonprofit Family Taxpayers Foundation and is publisher of the for-profit, right-leaning Web site www,Championnews.net.
Roeser said his closest contact with Martin was a few months ago and limited to a phone call. Martin never asked for or sought his permission to include anything he said in any campaign material, Roeser noted.
In the ad in question, Martin says he is "fighting for the facts about Mark Kirk. Illinois Republican leader Jack Roeser says there is a 'solid rumor that Kirk is a homosexual.' Roeser suggests that Kirk is part of a Republican Party homosexual club."
Roeser admitted to making such comments on a radio show, "but they are rumors." And Roeser noted that he doesn't condone anyone talking about their sexuality in public, being a heterosexual bragging about his conquests or a homosexual marching in a gay pride parade. Both are "just plain nuts. Such things should be kept private."

The Champion News Web site does hold a "Kick Mark Kirk to the Curb" section, where readers can "learn more about this 'Republican' only a Democrat could love," and discusses Kirk's "pro abortion, pro homosexual, pro cap and trade, pro spending" views.
Roeser said his attorney had called a radio station about pulling Martin's spot, which it cannot legally do. Chicago's WBBM radio, one of the stations airing the ad, said federal law requires it to provide candidates with reasonable access and run political ads "without censoring them."
Roeser said his attorney also is looking to see if he can stop Martin from using Roeser in the ad without his permission.

As a result of the ad, which began to run after Christmas, the Republican Party already has said it no longer would consider Andy Martin a legitimate candidate.
"His statements are consistent with his history of bizarre behavior and often-times hate-filled speech, which has no place in the Illinois Republican Party," said GOP chairman Pat Brady.
Last week, Kirk campaign manager Eric Elk issued a statement saying the ad "is degrading to the political process. The people of Illinois deserve better." Elk said the ad's allegation that Kirk is gay is not true.
Martin, formerly Anthony Martin-Trigona, has a long record of running unsuccessfully for public office, making unsubstantiated allegations and suing officials and journalists he dislikes. The federal courts have sanctioned him for repeatedly filing frivolous lawsuits.

Andy Martin Attacks Gay Community Again!

Independent Senate Candidate Andy Martin Continues His Gay Bashing Tone of Voice!

In Martin's latest blog titled: "U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin exposes media lies and corruption in Chicago", Martin removes any doubt about his view on the gay community with more of his gay bashing statements. 

After Martin was rightfully blasted by the public and media for his attack ad on December 28, 2009 accusing senate candidate Mark Kirk for being a closet homosexual, he released a statement which read:

 “Let me be clear. Homosexuality is not the issue.
Every person is entitled to privacy, and everyone is
entitled to equal protection of the laws..."

Martin now releases his latest blog with statements like:

"The homosexual scandal in Republican Party politics is just in its early stages."

"Martin says that local media used a crooked local political leader who supports gay bars and Mark Kirk to attack Martin’s campaign, without telling viewers/listeners/readers the truth."

 Well let's look at his last statement.  Does he have a problem with people who support gay bars?  Is there really such a thing as a homosexual scandal?  If so, does Martin believe in a heterosexual scandal?  In my opinion, these are little trigger statements which lead me to believe Martin is attacking the gay community just as he has previously attacked the Jewish community.


Martin continues his blog by saying:

"Pat Brady is a Mark Kirk stooge, and a supporter of holding Republican (John McCain) events in gay bars.  The advertisement which prompted Mr. Brady to come forward and oppose my campaign concerned Mark Kirk's homosexual issues."

"During the 2008 campaign Mr. Brady, as “John McCain leader for Illinois,” sponsored a “bar event” in “Boystown,” the homosexual neighborhood in Chicago. Would viewers/listeners/readers have liked to know Brady had a history of sponsoring homosexual activity in the Republican Party? You be the judge:"

Wow!  If it looks like a rat and it smells like a rat is it not a rat?

Now here's the "Bombshell" as Andy Martin would say:

"...vote no to continuing corruption of the Illinois Republican Party

by former Speaker Dennis Hastert’s homosexual operatives."

"If you want to fight political and moral corruption in Washington,- please vote for me."

 He ends his blog with this:

"MONDAY: Who is John McGovern and what is his connection

to Mark Kirk and the “homosexual GOP culture…in Illinois.”

I guess we will all have to tune in on Monday, January 4, 2010 to see how Martin will blast more holes into the bottom of his already sinking ship.

I do have to side track here and point out a statement Martin made in his blog.  He says:

"Not many real Republicans would support a candidate backed

by a crooked, violent psychopath like Pat Brady."

Crooked, Violent Psychopath.   These are words normally reserved for those describing Martin himself.  Hmmm!
