THE DIRTY FACTS ON DA JIM MARTIN

[Updated Sept, 2011] Readers, somebody other than LVS has finally stepped up to challenge DA Jim Martin ...

Contribute/Vote:


TIME FOR CHANGE

Crooked and incompetent Lehigh County DA Jim Martin has not faced a political challenger at the polls since 1999.

Martin, a Republican, ran unopposed in 2003, and again in 2007.

As a "prosecutor," DA Jim Martin is careless, erratic, inconsistent, crooked, wildly dishonest, and incompetent-- he's also a drunk driver's best friend who couldn't care less about the families of DUI homicide victims.

Protecting DA Jim Martin at every crooked turn is The Morning Call "newspaper" and its crony-connected law firm, Gross McGinley, led by "Democrat," and Republican DA Jim Martin fundraiser, Malcolm J. Gross and partner Pat Reilly.

DA Jim Martin is supported politically by former Pennsylvania State Attorney General and current (for now) Governor Tom Corbett.

Members of DA Jim Martin's reelection Finance Committee include Abe Atiyeh, Dexter Baker, Dean Browning, Greg Butz, Judge Edward Cahn, Jack Daddona, Mike Keenan, Jamie Musselman, Joseph Fitzpatrick, Esq., David Jaindl, Mark Lieberman, Doug Pelletier, Wm. Platt, Esq., Charles Snelling, Matthew Sorrentino, Esq., and John Waldron, Esq.

Members of DA Jim Martin's reelection Host Committee include Air Products PAC, Angelo Almonti, Esq., Dr. John Altobelli, State Rep Pat Browne, Lee Butz, Congressman Charlie Dent,The Very Rev. Daniel G. Gambet, Elmer Gates, Malcolm J. Gross, Esq., Rev. Grant E. Harrity,William Heydt, Tony Iannelli, Bob Lovett, Dr. Raymond Singer, A. Renee Smith, Esq., Robert G. Tallman, Esq., Judge Thomas A. Wallitsch, and John Yurconic.

Let's boot DA Jim Martin and Allentown's crooked colluding cronies out of power on election day, November 8, 2011.

Here's why ...

From The Morning Call archives, here's a sampling of actual, verbatim Morning Call headlines (I swear) that don't show any favoritism at all (wink wink) regarding Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin:

The Villa family took care of closing one of Allentown's well-known nuisance bars (cited twice by the PLCB), J.P. O'Malley's, which was ruled by a civil jury to have been negligent in the DUI homicide death of my daughter, Sheena.

No thanks to 'Gentleman' Jim Martin.

FYI, O'Malley's 2nd citing as a nuisance bar by the PLCB came about a year AFTER Sheena's death, i.e., it was 'business as usual' for O'Malley's bar and for DA Jim ("I can't find any evidence on Charles Cullen neither") Martin.

Speaking of dumb-asses, here's The Morning Call "newspaper" again & again, and on a Sunday no less, always the last ones to make believe they don't know anything.

Tell Dave Erdman and Mike Miorelli that LVS says, "F.U."

You missed a headline: It's where "M$. Fulmer" AGAIN received house arrest for yet ANOTHER DUI a couple months ago. Go get them, Gentleman Jim.

Bill, OT here, I hear on on Martin, I don't think there afraid as much as they have no bench and they know it. Nobody to with money and resume that could run a credible campaign. Now onto fun stuff, Angle's deadline to appeal is Monday. If he doesn't he agrees that the Will he filed was phony.

Re: the mentions about Judy Fulmer (http://articles.mcall.com/2010-03-05/news/all-a10_5fulmer.7196700mar05_1_harold-g-fulmer-iii-house-arrest-judith-fulmer)

Always sad when someone causes grief due to self-medicating. Can't figure how it's in any way excusable.

Googling Fulmers, took me 2 nanoseconds to learn Hal was gone - (http://articles.mcall.com/2009-12-05/news/4487489_1_iii-harold-g-fulmer-hgf-group-radio-stations)

Lehigh Valley player Hal Fulmer owned WSAN back when they rode the "Urban Cowboy" craze and switched format to Country.

Good ol' well-fed Hal would drive up to the station in his spotless BMW to check on his minimum-wage employees. One of his finest moments was when he told the staff they needed to dress in country clothing on-site (this is radio, remember). Of course, the staff had to pay for their own on-the-job costuming out of their own pockets. Or be fired.

Those fancy country shirts with the shiny buttons weren't cheap - considerate clothiers were kindly jacking up the prices riding the same "Urban Cowboy" fad. And the cowboy boots - fuggedaboutit.

Sure do love them Republicans. They run their businesses and won't suffer their employees a single extra penny, then go to church to praise Jesus, Lord of Love, come Sunday.

Rest easy, Hal.

Judy - it's called a "taxi". Or for Pete's sake, splurge and get a chauffer. You deserve it.

Whoa! Did The Morning Call actually spell the name of the Republican Elvis wrong?

Kids: Spot the mistake and win a valuable prize (not)!

Attention Morning Call trolls: I'm now setting my stopwatch. I will prove you really do troll LVS blog when I see you've corrected this f-ing amateur error.

OMG. I know the "r" word is not politically correct, but I am so, so tempted.

Holy crap. The Morning Call SUCKS beyond belief. Hello? It's called PROOFREADING.

I give up.

Don't expect The Morning Call to fix nuthin', and we have proof, daily, via our SiteMeter(R) that they visit this blog daily and sometimes as many as a dozen times.

Short Story: back when they were taunt-publishing that O'Malley's was ruled not negligent in Sheena's death (which was a lie), their first "correction" (I swear, we have the hard copy) was to publish (at their website) that "the jury was found negligent in Sheena's death."
