BIG GUN REPUBLICANS

Linden really admired Newt Gingrich in 1994. In fact, in this innocent stage of his youth (only 64 then,) Linden actually thought that there was hope for the taxpayer. And there was, for a time.

A few days ago, Linden received a political type call and the caller said Newt wanted to bounce three ideas off of me and started the recording. The first idea was so irritating that the last two went unheard. Apparently Newt wants to release some of the oil from the strategic reserve! This is Nancy Pelosi type foolishness: One longs for 1994.

The other item that caused Linden to generate this posting was receipt of a message from a “big gun” group that invited him to sign a petition to encourage Nancy Pelosi to have a vote on oil drilling legislation. The message said that the petition had already been signed by over 90,000 interested parties. We, the taxpayers, should not have to encourage Congress to do the right thing before going on another of their frequent vacations!

Besides, Linden believes that his own recommended approach is vastly superior when it comes to encouraging action. It is:

(1.)The need to find a candidate for each one of the Congressional Districts where there is currently no Republican candidate.(2.) The desirability of posting a volunteer at each gas station in our country. This person would hold a large sign naming the Congressional democrats as the ones responsible for high gas prices. These two efforts could provide a Republican majority in November.
