Your favourite campaign slogans of all time...

I'm torn between two:

Let's Roll! (Marijuana Party of Canada, 2004 )

8. "Vote in the Streets - SDS" 1968. I still have the button somewhere.

[FatDave]

9. I remember seeing an old Goldwater button that simply said:

Au H2O

Disappointing that such a clever button was wasted on a fucktard like him.

14. Goldwater was a trove of campaign lore

His campaign slogan was In your heart, you know he's right

The Johnson campaign responded with signs that said, In your guts, you know he's nuts

The 64 campaign was pretty fascinating.

16. Sadly enough, it only got worse for the GOP after Goldwater...

Goldwater was perhaps more nuts than Nixon, but he was less evil.

Reagan was much worse than Goldwater.

The Bushes made Reagan look good.

Dole is a loser and his wife's even worse.

McCain ... lol

Some Goldwater quotes:

"Every good Christian should line up and kick Jerry Falwell's ass!" (In response to Falwell's misogynist opposition to pro-choice moderate Sandra Day O'Connor.)

"I believe in a woman's right to choose!"

"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice; moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." (Interpreted through the lens of civil libertarianism, it's beautiful.)

"You don't have to be straight to be in the military; you just have to shoot straight."

And for God's sake, he's much better than future offerings of the AZ GOP, including John McCain (I know 12-year-olds who are better at geography), Evan Mecham (insane), Joe Arpaio (crazier than Mecham), Jon Kyl (Hey, I'm a poker player...At least Barry would stay out of my business.), Fife Symington II (What the fuck kind of name is that anyways?), or Jan Brewer (heard she's a socon nut).

[FatDave]

17. Oh, I know, by today's standards he's downright liberal.

It's scary to think he was once considered too far to the right.

[BolivarianHero]

18. The perception is in fact more important than the reality...

The perception of Goldwater as a hard-right conservative, rooted in his obnoxiously hawkish attitude toward socialism abroad and his opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Act, is as important to the GOP's extreme right-wing politics as Nixon's Southern Strategy.

He's also about the only opponent of the 1964 Civil Rights Act whose denial of racism I'm able to accept.

10. "The people united wil never be defeated."

(Chile's Unidad Popular before the Pinochet coup.)

Unfortunately the slogan proved untrue (the people united were defeated by a vicious military coup), but it's a great slogan, and one used elsewhere in Latin America.

La gente unido jamas sera vencido!!!

[rabs]

13. Best campaign slogan -- NO

1989, Chile. Pinochet called for a plebiscite to determine if the pueblo wants him to continue in power.

There were two choices, "YES" and "NO." The "NO" won and months later Pinochet was out.

Here is the Chilean group Quilapayun singing "El Pueblo Unido Jamas Sera Vencido." The performance was from the balcony of the La Moneda presidential palace only days before the 1973 military coup that toppled democratically elected Allende and his Unidad Popular government. Quilapayun was the group that made the song famous worldwide.
