Please excuse us while we excerpt from the Sept 8, 2008 issue of Time…
John McCain, according to one of his most perceptive & persistent critics, has struggled throughout his career to balance his principles and his ambitions, to reconcile the code of honor instilled in him as a boy with the insistent demands of political [...]
When writers for a television show begin to run out of plot lines, they sometimes become desperate for ideas that will hold the attention of viewers. This happens to almost every show eventually. When the writers use some of these weird or contrived ideas, the show is said to have ‘jumped the shark’.
The phrase ‘jumping [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
Recently Senator John McCain and Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin have been referring to their voters – and their voters alone – as “real” Americans.

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, [...]
Senator McCain, you keep asking this question: “Who is Barack Obama?”
You have served with him in the Senate.
You have called him your friend.
He has written two books telling you who he is.
The books don’t include comments supporting terrorism, but…..
Is he a terrorist? If so, Senator McCain, you should have turned him in a long time [...]
By now, nearly everyone with the internet, television, radio, newspaper, or even some basic human contact has heard the news that presidential nominee Senator John McCain actually defended fellow presidential nominee Senator Barack Obama at his own rally in Lakeville, Minnesota. If you follow that link, you’ll see this in the article:

Eight years ago then-candidate Bush promised to be a hands-across-the-aisle, bring-us-all-together sort of candidate & president.
Of course he was just the opposite, running the dirtiest campaign (and presidency) in decades. (When Nixon looks good by comparison, you have besmirched the office…)
Early in the 2000 primaries John McCain was gaining some momentum. Bush “push-polled” South Carolina, [...]
