Winburn: My Ads Are Coming

Charlie Winburn and Sam Malone were passing out campaign literature outside City Hall today as the hundreds of retirees left after the public hearing about their health care costs.

Winburn says his first commercial is taped and promised it will be more "powerful" than the last ones he ran. Remember when he was running for mayor, his television ads illustrated his stance that no neighborhood was immune to crime by showing bullets with neighborhood names - including Hyde Park - on them.

The ad showed a masked man loading a revolver and said that one of the thug's bullets might have your name on it.

"City leadership," it said, "is literally playing Russian roulette with your life."

That drew criticism from people who said he was just trying to scare people into voting for him.

Winburn says his ads will focus on crime again, but he wouldn't say much more. Malone did say he has seen the ad and agreed it was as provocative as last time, if not more so.

if he is so focused on making cincinnati safer, why didn't he do something about it when he was on council the first time? how many years was he on council? the safety of this city only got worse when he was on it. i finally feel like it's starting to get safer now, even though it's still not great...but you have to start somewhere. let's not go down the same path again with charlie winburn!!!!!

Great...Don't Dr. Evil and Mini-Me have day jobs?

Oh, right, no they don't. Slummin' Sam Malone is buying up rental properties (with whose money, Enquiring Minds should ask?) and The Exorcist collects a paycheck from...whom, exactly?

A Day in the Life of a wRong wingnut whacko !

Shim gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With her first swallow of coffee, shim takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some patriot liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised.

All but $10 of his medications is paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now shim gets it too. SHe prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Shim's bacon is safe to eat because some macho liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.

In the morning shower, Shim reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some right-to-know liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. He cross-dresses, then walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air she breathes is clean because some environmentalist liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. sHe walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some urban planning liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.

Shim begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union thug members fought and died for these working standards. Shim's employer pays these standards because Shim's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Shim is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some coin-counting liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.

It's noontime and Shim needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Shim's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some god-fearing liberal wanted to protect Shim's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression. Shim has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some family value's liberal decided that Shim and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.

Shim is home from work. He plans to visit her father this evening at his farm home in the country. Shim gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-loving liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood trust-fund home. Shim was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal (FDR) stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.

He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some school teaching liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Shim wouldn't have to.

Shim gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a wRong wingnut whacko radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved wRong wingnut whackos fought against every protection and benefit Shim enjoys throughout his day.

Shim, the, foot-tapping, wRong wingnut whacko agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of himself, just like I have."

A Day in the Life of Joe Republican

(As Kneepad Liberals see it)

Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of coffee, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised.



All but $10 of his medications is paid for by his employer's medical plan because some liberal union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing industry.



In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Joe dresses, then walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.



Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home because of his temporary misfortune.



It's noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression. Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and his below-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.



Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal (FDR) stuck his nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.



He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, quiche-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.



Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day.



Joe agrees: "We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of himself, just like I have."



This item was sent to us by one of liberal subscribers, claiming he had written it. We don't know where he stole it, but thanks to Google, we did find the same story on dozens of different web sites.



pass on to your favorite republican

Isn't that illegal to be handing out campaign literature on city property?

Public sidewalks don't count, moron.

Seriously. Of the myriad of things to point out to voters about Child-Beating Sam Malone, and Fear Monger Rev. Chuck, and you go after them for standing on a public sidewalk to hand out campaign literature? Wow.
