Mark Kirk’s “drowning” may have been a teen suicide
PR Inside ^ | July 26, 2010 | Andy Martin

Posted on 07/27/2010 11:31:49 AM PDT by chicagolady

Andy Martin analyses the undisputed “facts” of Mark Kirk’s alleged “drowning” and suggests that no sensible person could believe Kirk’s own version of the facts. “We are drowning in Mark Kirk’s lies,” Martin says. Read Andy’s analysis of Kirk’s undisputed “facts” and decide for yourself.

Andy Martin takes a closer look at Mark Kirk’s “drowning” episode and finds more questions than the Chicago Tribune

Martin suggests Kirk’s own version of the story displays a “Tarzan” complex or, worse, a teenage suicide attempt

“No rational person can believe Kirk’s own ‘undisputed’ facts Martin says

“Factually Correct, Not Politically Correct”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Andy Martin

takes Mark Kirk’s own “facts” and shows how Kirk’s alleged “drowning” incident was nothing more than Mark Kirk’s irresponsible or self-destructive behavior

“Why is Mark Kirk bragging about being stupid Martin asks. “Who would jump back in dangerous water after just escaping

Martin suggests Kirk was troubled by teenage angst after being unable to deal with his homosexuality

Andy lines up the facts and focuses on what the Chicago Tribune missed; you be the judge: drowning or self-destructive behavior?

(CHICAGO)(July 26, 2010) Let me start with two basic facts: First, we were all “sixteen” once. Second, Mark Kirk is a pathological liar.

Last Friday the Chicago Tribune carried a story analyzing Mark Kirk’s claim to have almost “drowned” in Lake Michigan:

I actually think the analysis of an anti-Kirk blogger is more germane:

Hey Hey Ho Ho Mark Kirk has GOT TO GO!!

Mark Kirk’s solution to illegal immigration? Send free condoms to Mexico! An Illinois congressman is pushing a not-so-quick fix in the debate over illegal immigrants from Mexico: free contraceptives. “A slower rate of growth of Mexico’s population would improve the economy of Mexico. It would also reduce the environmental pressure on Mexico’s ecosystem. But a slower rate of growth would also reduce the long-term illegal immigration pressure on America’s borders,” reasoned Rep. Mark Kirk. He made the argument on Thursday during a heated debate in the House of Representatives. Kirk, who attended college in Mexico, offered the idea of shipping free condoms to poor Mexicans.

Few detest Mark Kirk more than I do (and I’m stuck in his district for another five months, darn it), but be careful who you trust.

Andy Martin is a notorious sue-happy nut, famous for filing so many frivolous lawsuits over the years that he’s been restricted in his abilities to file lawsuits by a federal judge!

So, as bad a candidate as Kirk is — and oh yes, he genuinely is rotten, as candidates go! — we’re well advised to also avoid Andy Martin.

A pity, because Andy Martin is obviously right on some issues and right to oppose Kirk... but he’s not somebody that any activist in his right mind would seriously want to ally himself with.

King of the Rinos vs an openly corrupt, no-accomplishment Democrat pal of Obama. The Illinois Republican Party is awful. I really don't care who wins. Kirk is relentlessly pro-abortion, pro-cap and trade and said he would vote for Kagan if he were already in the Senate. He is a serial liar. I think I would prefer that the Democrat win: he is so obviously corrupt that a scandal or indictment could cripple his reign. With Kirk, we would get something worse: another Susan Collins or Olympia Snow.

Have you checked out Andy Martin, AKA Andy Martin Trigona’s record? There are those who think he is certifiable. I believe he has been disbarred and his credibility is nil.

My dream is that Harry Reid loses, and the real GOP wins enough seat to support a filibuster and tell The Bitch Maine Twins, Lindsey, Mark Kirk, Luger and McPain to pack sand.

Okay. I'm lost. I don't get this drowning thing?
“Why is Mark Kirk bragging about being stupid Martin asks. “Who would jump back in dangerous water after just escaping. Martin suggests Kirk’s own version of the story displays a “Tarzan” complex or, worse, a teenage suicide attempt

Now I must admit, I did a lot of STOO-PID things as a kid. Some pertained to swimming.

I was about 13, and I went swimming with a friend, his dad took us to some beach in Indiana to swim in Lake Michigan (Dad didn't swim). There were no life guards but Warning Signs posted about 'Under Tow'.

Well I knew 'Under Tow' from 'Under Schmo', so I went snorkeling in about 4 feet deep water and pretty soon got caught in the Under Tow and it was pulling me out into Lake Michigan. Luckily there was a 'Pier Post' in my path and I grabbed onto that as I was going 'out' (I was under water all this time) and held on until the waves and Under Tow was momentarily gone, then swam like hell to shallow water. But ten minutes later I was back in there snorkeling, just in 'much' shallower water.

And there was another time that I almost drowned too, before I knew how to swim. I was much younger but just as 'daring'. After that instance I learned how to swim.

Anywho, I don't get the beef about Kirk on this. Is Andy Martin jealous?

Or is he a Girlie Man who never climbed a tree, got in a snowball fight, hopped a freight train, got in a fist fight, play mumbley-peg with a Boy Scout Knife (did he even own a knife?), and never 'took chances' as a kid? Yeah, and Play Tarzan too. If that's so he can go cry on mama's skirt.

I'm NOT defending Kirk but Andy Martin sounds like the Homo here. (I'll bet he never fought over a girl. And I mean 'fight')

97% of things my friends and I did as 'kids' are now Illegal in all 50 states and most foreign countries:-)

How much did Kirk’s people pay Andy to say this?

Andy Martin attacking anyone lends credibility to person attacked by Andy because Andy himself has zero credibility with virtually everyone.
