We have photographic proof that FDR met with Stalin and Nixon met with Mao. Two murderous communists!  Good thing that both FDR & Nixon are dead, or we would feel obligated to destroy their reputations.
J Edgar Hoover called Martin Luther King a “terrorist”.
All other details being identical, how close would this presidential race be if [...]

Obama Makes His Case

So last night Barack Obama aired his 30 minute “infomercial” making one last case to vote for him.  Personally I was worried that this might draw criticism.  The most attackable thing I saw was Obama sitting in a ‘rustic’ Oval Office.
But I think Obama and his campaign were trying to make lots of subtle hints [...]

To those receiving a tax hike

I’ve heard too many people complaining that Barack Obama will raise your taxes. For reference, let me remind you that he only will raise taxes for those who make more than $250,000 every year. So if you don’t realize that you make less than that, I’m just going to call you a moron, because you [...]

The Incredible Shrinking McCain

When John McCain won the Republican nomination, and Barack Obama won the Democratic side, we at WinkestLink were delighted. We thought the two best candidates had emerged from the muck, and America would be treated to a higher level of political discourse than we had been during the previous two elections.
Obama essentially came from nowhere [...]

Many by now heard the story of the woman who was attacked by a “big black man” who carved a backward “B” on the side of her face. Several of the staff here at The Winkest Link had said that this story stank to high heaven long before it was revealed as a hoax Friday. [...]

Let us focus on November 4, 2008.
This has the chance to be the most significant U.S. election since Abraham Lincoln.
 
A brief list of the most significant U.S. elections, and why…

George Washington – Could easily have run America as a dictator. There was no restriction on how many terms a president could serve. By choosing to step [...]

Real Americans

Recently Senator John McCain and Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin have been referring to their voters – and their voters alone – as “real” Americans. I’d like to say it’s hard to think that they would say something like this, but truthfully I’m not shocked to have heard them say this. Apparently Senator McCain is [...]

“Across Party Lines”

Barack Obama and John McCain have been saying that they both are willing to reach across the aisles and pass bipartisan bills for the good of the nation. If that’s the case, then why are they only publicly admiring past presidents within their own party? Obama has been speaking well of John Kennedy and FDR, [...]

Executive Experience?

The McCain campaign keeps touting Sarah Palin’s “executive experience” trying to pawn it off as more beneficial than “experience.”  While executive experience is probably a little beneficial, the type of executive office really makes a difference.  I think the only “experience” that Palin can really claim is her 21 months as Governor. The Mayor thing [...]

If conservatives think the media is generally liberal, maybe it is true.
Maybe this is partly because conservatives have made lies & smears part of their standard operating procedure. Eventually, even a moronic, weak-kneed press will catch on and start investigating what you say rather than just reporting it.
Case in Point:   The GW lie machine was [...]
