OK – here we are on the downhill side of the week – and with all this ‘liquid snow’ lying around and temps that are averaging 10 degrees F above the usual … well… VP Gore … call your office.
What is really troubling me as we round the corner into a ‘hometown’ stretch of getting ready to vote in
Frankly, I really desire and yearn for a way to shorten up this marathon that has grown and grown until we barely get out of one contest before the other one starts. But I think since I’ve already exceeded my ‘warranty’ period of “three score years and ten” – so I don’t expect to be around to wrap up this project. I just hate to see us wasting all this time, money and effort in something which could be done so much more efficiently and shortly – especially since we don’t have to wait for representatives to travel by horseback or buggy from ‘home’ to the capital in dear old D.C.
We could rather easily wrap up this thing with a lot less expenditure of $$$ -- and I keep expecting we will run out of ‘hot air’ along the
My genuine concern IS expressed in today’s program (script enclosed) because it seems having this loooooooooooooooooooooooooong to raise money and campaign and all… things fester and grow and seem to become more and more swelled up beyond appropriate proportions with these two year – four year – and six year election cycles. We can do better than that I think.
But I’ve decided to do my bit and cut down the amount of hot air *I’m* expending. Shall we just calmly lean back and pack it in for today – and pray for a more relaxing day tomorrow? I hope so.
Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”
WE NEED A MAGNUM DOSE OF ANTI-DIM ATTITUDE
Just a Minute: Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment not to speak ill of a fellow Republican is on my heart and mind. He was trying to preserve harmony in the political ranks. He’d been through tough movie union battles that gave him winning experience.
What we are facing now is equally divisive and alarming at in the five trillion dollar debt piled on in the last three years without the ‘consent of the governed.’ We have folks supposedly aligned with us but who are at great variance.
In the 1964 Presidential campaign Republican Governor Nelson Rockefeller seemed determined to send us over the cliff. That was a terrible campaign to live through – but eventually we came through by God’s grace, not our skill.
Now we have folks picking up their cudgels to wound their brethren. I don’t want to see that. It’s described only as a ‘dog in the manger’ attitude -- paraphrased, it says: “If I can’t have it – you won’t either!”
That destructiveness has to be abandoned now. I’m working and praying to that end. I pray you will too. <>I’m Jack Buttram. (END)
