STILL FRED!

Now, with four contests (or jokes, if you prefer) behind us, Linden remains convinced that Fred Thompson is still the best candidate to be our next President. He remains hopeful that this will come to pass. If any other candidate had finished third in three out of the four selection processes (Iowa, New Hampshire, Wyoming and Michigan) the mainstream media would be full of references to this candidate being ready to pounce. Is it possible that they do not prefer a conservative?

If Fred can continue to finish in a respectable position, the coverage will increase as will vote totals. Or, more likely, if it should go to convention to be settled, it is easy to see him becoming the Republican candidate.

When time is available, I enjoy reading what other more gifted and perhaps equally conservative writers present. I enjoyed the following:
January 17, American Thinker, Kyle-Anne Shiver's "Obama, Hillary and Alinsky's Tactics"; January 18, Townhall, David Limbaugh's "Answering Fred's Call"; and January 18 National Review, Thomas Sowell's "Primary dilemmas."

PLEASE SCAN THE ITEMS BELOW: YOU MAY FIND AN INEXPENSIVE GIFT, A WORTHWHILE POLITICAL ENDEAVOR OR A MEANS OF HAVING FUN WITH THE MEDIA.

BUY ME?

“MIND OVER FATTER” written in 1983 as a contrast to a Jane Fonda book. She had a better publisher so sales languished. It, written in calligraphy, was the first to present the concept of vicarious exercise. “An approach to weight control and physical conditioning which provides solace for the sedentary – includes recipes and statistical political commentary.”

Author: Linden Swift. Available locally at Uncommon Corner in downtown Plainfield, IN or Secondhand Stories on Raceway road. Also online:

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.

Pennsylvania 1 Philadelphia area
Pennsylvania 14 Pittsburgh area

Rhode Island 2 Warwick area

Texas 9 Houston area
Texas 16 El Paso
Texas 20 San Antonio
Texas 28 Laredo

Virginia 3 Newport News 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.
