Political Slogans

[R. Richard]

I do not get much involved in politics. However, the latest election slogan has caught my eye.

"Flush the Johns!"

The slogan is just too good to pass up. Has the other side come back with something comparable?

Haven't heard that one.

On behalf of the other side, we usually just quote the president when we want to poke fun.

Remember the 1984 off-color campaign slogan for the Democratic ticket of Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro?

"This year vote Democratic. Elect Fritz and Tits."

2004:

"This year vote Democrat, and put two Johns in the White House."

All the hookers who came to Bosotn for the DNC went away disappointed. The delegations from around the country were pretty well behaved. In all, there were only two arrests for prostitution in the Back Bay/Downtown area. I guess there was some confusion in sex worker circles when they were told that there were Johns coming to town for the convention.

John Kerry has reportedly decided against naming a new official campaign song for his candidacy. It was reported this week that the semi-autobiographical tune I'm Just a Gigilo was mentioned, but finally rejected by the candidate.

I think by now we have all heard the Republican off-color slogan. Something about a Dick and a Bush. Anyone out there know the exact wording?

Everyone knows that George W. Bush's nickname has become "W." As in "W said this, and W said that." Here in Bosotn we have been calling John Kerry "Liveshot" for years. It is a term coined by a local columnist to point out the Junior Senator's tendancy to seek out a camera anywhre they turn up. This has to get worked into a slogan somehow.

"Tippecanoe and Tyler, also"
"Ma, Ma, where's my Pa? Gone to the White House, ha, ha, ha

In Miami, one of our mayors (we have 2 at a time; don't ask) is known as "Kleig Lights" Penellas for the same reason. It is said that he will attend the opening of a jar.

Holy recounts, Batman.

Let me guess, one carried the county vote and the other carried the popular vote?

Oh wait, I've got it. It is all part of John Edwards' "Two America's" campaign. There is one mayor for the rich and one mayor for the poor.

Oh, oh, hold on. I bet it is all a sop to the multiple personality lobby. Yeah, that's it. They sued under the Americans with Disabilities Act and won the right for two mayors.

Are they conjoined twins? That could explain it.

Is one of them named - oh boy am I going to suffer for this one - Chad? I bet he just - oh man is this bad - hangs around while the other guy serves.

I really don't think anyone has ever topped my favorite that dates back to the first election I was able to cast a vote. Prominently displayed on college campuses throughout the country:

Vote for Nixon in '72
Why change Dicks in the middle of a screw?

 

[Svenskaflicka]

How about "Straight guys screw Bush".

While posting elsewhere, I was reminded of another historical electioneering quip:

They said if I voted for Godwater in '64 we would be at war in '65
I did and we were.
