AN OLD DEMOCRAT

AN OLD DEMOCRAT

Linden has always admired the speaking and writing abilities of Charles Krauthammer. It was his "Democrats invest in Iraq defeat" column which appeared in the February 25 issue of The Indianapolis Star that triggered this particular posting.

Linden has never been an adoring fan of Senator Joe Lieberman - he is just a shade (or two) to liberal for Linden's taste. Granted, that stance may be a requirement to get elected in the Northeast (and some other less than perfect areas) but, he is that shade too liberal. Linden will admit that he was elated when the new democrats effectively kicked him out of the party and Lieberman switched to Independent and won handily.

Krauthammer outlined several illustrations of the new democrat surrender at all costs leanings but his best lines in the column, in Linden's estimation, were those of Lieberman's quote, "Democrats have remained emotionally in a narrative of defeat and retreat in Iraq." Thank you Joe Lieberman. Thank you Charles Krauthammer.
Last thought: Are the democrats the party of Benedict Arnold?

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.

Illinois 12 East St. Louis – One Found?

Massachusetts 1 Berkshire, Hampden, Hampshire and other Counties
Massachusetts 2 Springfield area
Massachusetts 3 Bristol area – One Found?
Massachusetts 4 Bristol area – One Found?
Massachusetts 5 Essex, Middlesex and Worcester Counties
Massachusetts 7 Middlesex and Suffolk Counties
Massachusetts 8 Middlesex and Suffolk Counties

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.
