Original Mike said...: William Dyke, mayor of madison from 1969 to 1973, had the campaign slogan "Because". I think it was in the election that he lost to Paul Soglin. I remember it because it was so laughable.; 5/7/12, 10:58 AM

Wow. "Because" was the long-time advertising slogan for Modess Sanitary Napkins.; 5/7/12, 11:02 AM

No wait, that's already taken.; 5/7/12, 11:03 AM

gadfly said...: Bloggers declaring that the "Forward" slogan was borrowed from the Chinese or from Wisconsin, missed the most recent iteration of use of the slogan. After Toyota got a clean bill of health from Obama's NHTSA, the company adopted "Moving Forward" as its rebound slogan, but wags could not but add "Unintentionally" to the end in reference to the carmaker's alleged unintended acceleration problem.; 5/7/12, 11:28 AM
ndspinelli said...: William, Bubba used "Erect" the first election and "Again" the second campaign.; 5/7/12, 11:29 AM

It worked in 2008, I have suspicions about 2012; 5/7/12, 11:33 AM

"You got ME in the house."

Recently said by POTUS on-stage to an assembly of military service members at the end of a "who's who" list of attendees.

I believe the vast majority of people would not include that fact. Every single person there was aware the president was on the premises. The copious number of Columbian whores should have clued them in, if nothing else.; 5/7/12, 11:40 AM

Yeah, I heard that. Incredible.; 5/7/12, 11:51 AM

Seems like a lot of their slogans and hashtags have a short shelf life. They change their slogans faster than your typical OWSer changes their underwear.; 5/7/12, 12:12 PM

Luke Lea said...: If; 5/7/12, 12:33 PM
Dave D said...: Joe:

Have to agree with you. Letterman is so old and tired that I can't bear to watch anymore. His band looks like a bunch of "going through the motions" zombies, also. I used to LOVE him in grad school (late 80's). Now: not so much.; 5/7/12, 12:46 PM

I think they change slogans two times in 6 months. So twice as often as OWSer.; 5/7/12, 1:12 PM

(Let's) SOCIALIZE!; 5/7/12, 1:32 PM
BarrySanders20 said...: The Lorax used UNLESS, but it seems that Obama's minions are adopting that as the de facto slogan.

Just think what Julia's life would be like UNLESS she votes for the warm government cocccon.; 5/7/12, 1:35 PM
