Alternate Slogans

I haven't see thread like this, so...
Two GOP 2012 Slogans:
No, you can't
Hope? Nope.

While an "Alternate Slogans" thread would be nice, a "commentary on current politics" thread isn't necessary at all. Keep it historical or this thread is getting moved to Chat.
 

The Dude

Banned
I would have liked to see "Would you buy a used car from this man?" to be the main anti-Nixon slogan.
 

Goldstein

Banned
Infamous slogan of the Federal Bureau of Assimilation, asking the full citizenship to denounce the neighbours suspects of belonging to the Underground Resistance ("ghosts", in official slang) to the government death squads:

If there's something strange
in your neighborhood
Who ya gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS

If there's something weird
and it don't look good
Who ya gonna call?
GHOSTBUSTERS
 
Down with Blood and Gore

Antiwar protest slogan circa 2003-2004 expressing opposition to President Albert Gore Jr.'s invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan.

(I'm not sure that this would be the case, Afghanistan seems to me to be a virtual certainty due to public pressure if 9/11 happen regardless of who the President was. But Iraq is much more questionable for me. Nonetheless I have heard the argument that Gore would have gone into Iraq as Bush did. Although the tactics might well be different, the kneejerk response for at least some on the antiwar left would be much the same. Gore's name is almost designed for some kind of antiwar protest sign, and the one I came up with probably is not the most clever one that can be thought of.)
 
Read the 22nd Amendment: No Third Term!
Conservative bumper sticker expressing opposition to Senator Hillary Clinton's ultimately successful attempt to win the Presidency in 2008. The slogan was largely a response to the prominent role former President Bill Clinton played in his wife's campaign.

This idea is surprisingly plausible. I read a Canadian paper once which asserted that Gore might well have invaded Iraq.
 
Do they have to be political?

What can plaid do for you?: UPS' new slogan based around its long-time use of a purposefully garish red, yellow, and blue plaid on its vehicles.
 
Of course (though I know it will offend some) the best respose was to

Barry Goldwater

In your heart you know he's right

In your guts you know he's nuts



Of course suffrage might have been delayed in Britain if Christabel Pankhurs's words had been more widely used

Votes for women dhastity for men
 
Labour election slogan, circa 2015.
Alongside a big picture of Nick Clegg.
'Don't get fooled again.'

Slogan for a Tory election campaign in 1991 under Thatcher:
'Trust in her.'
(It heavily backfired for its potentially blasphemous and clearly ridiculous connotations)

John Smith lives, takes old Labour to the polls in 1997:
'This time for Britain.'
'No flash. No sleaze. Just change.'
'The Cold War's over, John.' (a response to the Major camp's desperate attempts to tar Labour as the same old pinkos)

Colin Powell's Presidential Campaign, 1996:
'Service. Integrity. Vision.'

Enoch Powell's Conservatives running for re-election in 1974:
'Will you stand by Enoch?'
 
He's tanned, He's Rested, He's Ready. Vote Clinton 2004.

(From a minimal butterfly world in which the 22nd and 25th Amendments have slightly different wording. Instead of denying any President more than two terms or ten years in the White House, the amendments prohibit any President from serving more than two terms or ten terms consecutively. Therefore a former President becomes eligible for the Presidency after a four year interim. This change in wording doesn't affect things too much. Eisenhower has no interest in running in 1964, Nixon is far too disgraced to run in 1980, Reagan's Alzheimer's disease precludes a Reagan 1996 campaign. Bill Clinton is the first former President who has an opportunity to take advantage of the loophole. After much convincing former President Clinton decided to enter the 2004 campaign. Yes I know I'm torturing butterflies here, and the probability of this happening may well be ASB. But still Bill Clinton vs. George W. Bush is a scenario I've been thinking about, regardless of the improbability involved.)
