I don't see Tsongas winning. He had a bit of a speech impediment when talking was without a doubt the most uncharismatic candidate I've ever seen. He was also perceived as being significantly to the right of Bill Clinton and I don't think young people, minorities, or liberals would have turned...
People believed in myths of the Alamo long before Wayne made his movie. Even the idea that Davey Crockett refused to surrender, rather than the real story which still paints him in a good light and Santa Anna in a horrible light, was hardly something that Wayne invented.
Disney had long ago...
It sounds more like a rumor than a solid historical fact.
That said, if John Wayne was killed it would depend on whether or not the assassins were discovered to be Soviet Agents.
Why are you so sure Glaspie wouldn't have been made Ambassador to Iraq?
She was a respected Arabist with a long history as a diplomat in the Middle East.
Please use paragraphs. It makes reading your posts much easier.
Beyond that nowhere in your post did you address my comparisons between Quayle and Palin.
If you wish to think that Quayle was a smarter person and that he did a better job in office then Palin would have, fine.
I never...
In OTL Dan Quayle was far, far more of a drag on Bush's campaign then Palin was on McCain's.
Yes, lots of people despised and still despise Palin, but she was extremely popular amongst the base and people turned out at rallies in huge numbers for her throughout the country and she's gone on...
Clinton had nothing to do with the founding of the DLC. Also, the best thing Dukakis had going for his campaign in OTL 1988 was Lloyd Bentsen, his VP pick. The media lavished praise on him and thought he walked on water. Moreover, Bentsen's debate with Dan Quayle was hands down, no questions...
I'm surprised no one's brought up the question of how the Bay of Pigs would have gone down considering that it occurred only a few months after Kennedy took office. I suspect the OTL Bay of Pigs would have been much messier since I suspect Nixon wouldn't have been so obsessed with trying to have...
How exactly did the plaintiff lawyer define "sexual relationship". My understanding is they didn't define it, they just used the term "sexual relationship" and he later tried to argue that he didn't that that included blow jobs(he apparently insisted on only receiving blow jobs because they...
I don't recall ever hearing of the French requesting us to use nuclear weapons in Vietnam in the 1950s and I can't imagine any US President, even an ATL President Lemay agreeing to such a request.
Eastern Promises was fantastic. If anyone watches it on DVD, I highly recommend the extras.
I do respectfully have to disagree with you regarding Dark Man. I love most Sam Raimi movies, but couldn't stand it.
As for Taken, while quite fun, I agree that I seriously doubt it presents a...
That's not true. He's broken with the Republican party on a number of issues. It's worth noting that he endorsed Obama in 2008 which is hardly the action of a partisan Republican.
You think the America of the Lend-Lease Act and which was imposing economic sanctions on Japan was isolationist?
To answer the question, I doubt an isolationist America would have imposed tariffs on Japan so I doubt you'd have a Pearl Harbor.
Muhammad would definitely disagree with you.
Slavery is very possible amongst all the Abrahamic religions and it's something that was either condoned or practiced by Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad.
