If you were to look up the phrase "fine for me but not for thee," it is entirely possible you will find a photo of the Democratic candidate of NH’s Disitrict 3 Senate, "Bathroom Bud" Martin.
Giving new meaning to wanting his cake and eating it too, this week brought to light the fact that, first, Martin is apparently clueless as to the real meaning of the term "trademark protected" and, secondly –and more important– is all too willing to engage in it himself. Consider the press release just issued from the Republican Jeb Bradley camp:
Wolfeboro, NH— On April 16, the two candidates vying for the 3rd District State Senate seat, Bud Martin and Jeb Bradley appeared together at a debate in Sandwich, New Hampshire. During the debate, Bud Martin criticized citizen opposition to taxes, defended the “Wild Beast” of government and denied the factually documented state spending increases that occurred over the past biennium. Interestingly, he also railed against a Union Leader editorial title as a trademark infringement. “…probably a violation of trademark.” –Bud Martin

So, how interesting that his party would print and litter the 3rd Senate District with signs, using Jeb Bradley’s protected logo:
“For a lawyer and judge so concerned about protected intellectual property, I’m surprised he’s condones stealing Jeb Bradley’s logo. As an officer of the court, I can’t believe he would think that laws only apply to Republicans, not to everyone,” said Alicia Preston, spokesman for Jeb Bradley for State Senate.
Heh. Does this guy ever stop stepping in it? This fool Martin mustn’t be allowed to be anywhere near the state senate. Given the recent activities of the Democrat-led majority here in the Granite State, we don’t need to add to the problem– especially a double-talking loon willing to spout almost anything in order to try to please whatever audience he happens to confront.
