<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nSomeone sent us a link to the story from the New Hampshire Union Leader<\/a> in regards to a sitting Republican state senator by the name of Jim Foley, who has been fooling his constituents with a story for decades about him being a Marine. The story is kind of muddled so, if I get details wrong, blame Foley. <\/p>\n But, sometime in the middle 80s, he was disbarred for cheating his law firm out of money. Somehow or another, after he was disbarred, he joined the Marine Corps to kick his drug addiction (I know, that happens every day, doesn’t it).<\/p>\n The Marine Corps says, according to the article, that the only record they could find on him was his name and his social security number, no record of training or even showing up for anything. Of course, it was the drugs that made him do it. But then he started wearing the above pictured uniform of a Marine Captain with a Bronze Star Medal and a Purple Heart, along with some jump wings and what might be a scuba bubble. I guess the drugs made him do that, too.<\/p>\n Foley bills himself as a former Marine on his campaign website. He makes no reference of ever having practiced law.<\/p>\n The state Senate primary is Tuesday.<\/p>\n On Friday, Foley said he believes he has run a good campaign and hopes his supporters will see the release of the documents in perspective.<\/p>\n \u201cI am embarrassed that these revelations have come to light,\u201d said Foley. \u201cI believe in many ways I have let down my supporters. I find, and I have been told, that the voters are fair. They recognize this is being done as a political ploy by a desperate opponent. And I will do the best I can and hope the man they\u2019ve known for the last 10 to 15 years is the man they will vote for. I don\u2019t know the man from 30 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n Foley has two primary opponents, Derry Rep. Frank Sapparetto and Hampstead Rep. Regina Birdsell.<\/p>\n Foley did not identify whom he considered his \u201cdesperate opponent.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n Birdsell called on Foley to withdraw from the race.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n “A political ploy by a desperate opponent?” Dude, you falsified government documents, wore a uniform you didn’t earn, and lied to voters for the last decade or so. If there is a political ploy involved, it’s yours.<\/p>\n
