Political slogans from the past?

What immediately came to my mind are:

Go All The Way with LBJ and I like IKE

then after a while I remembered:

Hope and Change

I am sure there are a bunch more that have stuck with fellow DUers. Can you remind me of some?

That's funny-last weekend I went to a Salvation Army Thrift Store and found this album for a dollar! It's a terrible record but what a cover!



Also a friend of mine in grade school had this record... "Let's Carry Barry To The White House"

Wiki says after Cleveland won, the "Ma, Ma ..." attack phrase gained a classic riposte: "Gone to the White House. Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Sometimes low blows don't work.

Thanks Generic Brad
