The "Good Ol' Days"
Those wishing that politics would return to a kinder, gentler time are wishing for something that never was. Above is a campaign flyer from the 1928 Presidential race between the eventual winner Hoover and New York Governer Smith. Students of American presidential politics will remember the absolutely viscious (and largely untrue) attacks between Adams and Jefferson. Or the incredible mud-slinging that Lincoln endured.
Thanks (via Rick Heller at Centerfield) to Josh Claybourn for finding and posting the flyer.
