HELP WANTED

It appears that in the last general election there were no Republican candidates in 39 districts scattered across 15 states. These positions offer much more than just good pay. Some of these districts are listed below in State, District and general location sequence. Please help find a Republican candidate in these districts. Even if these districts can reasonably be considered “lost causes,” the effected taxpayers need to have a choice.

California 20 Fresno general area
California 31 Part of Los Angeles County
California 33 Part of Los Angeles County

Georgia 5 Atlanta area

Maryland 5 Calvert, Charles & St. Mary’s Counties
Maryland 7 Baltimore & adjacent Counties

Michigan 13 Wayne County area
Michigan 15 Detroit area

In recent ratings, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste considered 32 of the present officeholders (democrats) to be hostile, 6 unfriendly, and 1 lukewarm to taxpayers. The National Taxpayers Union granted a grade of “F” to 36 of this group while 3 of them rose to a “D”.

WHAT IF?

Surely you believe that the liberal dominated news media is very, very selective in what “news” they will print or report. Have you noticed the absence of reporting about the improved situation in Iraq? There are, of course, other examples but Linden will assume that you can think. WHAT IF, you complained to the lackluster “news” provider and, if satisfaction is not obtained you then call those who advertise in that medium? Your message could be something like: “ I am disappointed that you choose to advertise in or on …. Who will not report…. Perhaps this approach would pay dividends in the form of less biased news coverage.

BACK TO THE CAMPAIGN

Linden was not a bit surprised when a quick scan of the election related article on the front page of the local paper contained not a single word about Fred Thompson. This particular article originated with Washington Post writers. In this regard, it was remarkably similar to yesterday's front page Gannett News Service article: Not a word about Fred Thompson. Do you think this is accidental? Linden does not think so.

Talk radio, which has emerged as perhaps the only honest news source, reported that Fred Thompson was having up to seven events a day. The print media, when it mentioned him at all, reported that he was without energy or some such negative. The truth is, the largely liberal print media is actively opposed to Fred Thompson. Television reporting is hardly better.

The ABC January 5 "debate" airing reported that Thompson and McCain tied for third in the Iowa caucus. WRONG! Linden watched all of the Republican portion of the presentation and maybe half of the democrat part. He rated, as follows, the Republicans: plus, minus, or not at all in regard to their responses. OIL: plus Thompson. STRONG AMERICA: plus Thompson, McCain, Romney. Minus Paul. ECONOMICS/POLLS: plus Thompson, Giuliana. minus Paul. MEDICAL: plus Thompson, Giuliani, McCain, Romney. minus Paul. IMMIGRATION: Thompson, Romney, Paul. WHY NOT OBAMA: Thompson, Giuliani McCain, Romney.

The democrats were all WEAK on OSAMA ben LADEN, A NUCLEAR ATTACK ON AMERICA, and APPROVAL OF THE IRAQ "SURGE." When asked about SPENDING, they all talked about healthcare. Anyone ever heard of "EARMARKS?"

Linden can see no reason to discontinue support for Fred Thompson.
