From Britain\u2019s own version of Republicans, the Tories, comes this slogan. \u00a0We guess \u201cDo You Hear What I Hear?\u201d seemed a little crazy. \u00a0Guess what? Nobody was, in fact, thinking what they were thinking, and they lost.<\/p>\n #19) \u201cContinue!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Courtesy of an Indonesian Presidential election. \u00a0Other slogans included \u201cInsert Coin!\u201d and \u201cPlayer 1 Start!\u201d<\/p>\n #18) Don\u2019t Stop, Keep Going On!<\/strong><\/p>\n Courtesy of the Justice and Development Part in Turkey. \u00a0Apparently, they came up with their slogans while also giving a friend directions to the party headquarters, and something got confused.<\/p>\n #17) Got Guv?<\/strong><\/p>\n So, you\u2019re Jim Oberweis. \u00a0The only notable thing about you is that you own a dairy, a problem when you\u2019re running for the governor of a state, namely Illinois. \u00a0What do you do? \u00a0A stupid pun! \u00a0Brilliant!<\/p>\n #16) He\u2019s Good Enough For Me!<\/strong><\/p>\n This one is from the British from 1905. \u00a0You know, we understand that elections are boring, but that\u2019s really all the enthusiasm you can summon?<\/p>\n #15) Me Ne Frego!<\/strong><\/p>\n This one comes from Benito Mussolini and his fascists. \u00a0Sounds threatening? \u00a0It means \u201cI don\u2019t give a damn!\u201d \u00a0You know voter apathy is a problem when even totalitarian dictatorships have trouble getting people excited.<\/p>\n #14) We Polked You in \u201944, We Shall Pierce You in \u201852<\/strong><\/p>\n A slogan for Franklin Pierce. \u00a0First of all, puns have no place in slogans. \u00a0Secondly, puns that imply violent death have even less of a place in slogans. \u00a0We\u2019re assuming the rape connotations were entirely intentional, too.<\/p>\n #13) Let Well Enough Alone<\/strong><\/p>\n The slogan for William McKinley. \u00a0No wonder they shot him.<\/p>\n #12) In Your Heart, You Know He\u2019s Right<\/strong><\/p>\n Barry Goldwater used this gem, which manages to mix being a douche with being smug about it. \u00a0Countered with \u201cIn Your Guts You Know He\u2019s Nuts\u201d.<\/p>\n #11) Don\u2019t Be a Girly-Man: Vote Republican<\/strong><\/p>\n Yeah, when you have to resort to implying that your opponents are wussy in order to get votes, it might be time to review your platform.<\/p>\n #10) Vote or Die<\/strong><\/p>\n Deserves special mention as A) it failed to do anything and B) seemed to imply that if you didn\u2019t vote, Puff Diddy\/Fiddle Faddle\/whatever the hell would actually come out and shoot you. \u00a0Which would be effective, if he weren\u2019t the single least intimidating rapper to ever exist. \u00a0Seriously. \u00a0Even Kanye seems like a dude that could end you, but we just can\u2019t respect a man who actually called himself \u201cPuffy\u201d at one point.<\/p>\n #9) Immigration Is a Problem. \u00a0Just Ask an Indian.<\/strong><\/p>\n This one ranks so highly because at first it seems to have a good point. \u00a0Immigrants showing up indeed did not end well for the Indians. \u00a0But, who\u2019s that supporting? \u00a0Conservatives don\u2019t exactly have a long record of loving Native Americans, and liberals are presumably the people who like immigrants in the first place. \u00a0Also, there\u2019s a bit of a difference with Pilgrims showing up to claim land from the Native Americans by giving them horrible diseases and shooting them and Mexicans crossing the border to pick fruit for wages we sneer at. \u00a0So who\u2019s this aimed at?<\/p>\n #8) It\u2019s the Economy, Stupid!<\/strong><\/p>\n Clinton\u2019s campaign slogan, believe it or not. \u00a0We mention it because at the time, America was dealing with a serious recession and was vividly aware that it was, in fact, the economy. \u00a0Sure, this was aimed at George Bush, but still, calling voters stupid seems a counterintuitive way to do things.<\/p>\n #7) England Will Fight To the Last American<\/strong><\/p>\n This one\u2019s from an anti-interventionist party during WWII. \u00a0Just to be clear, the problem with this is that England had been fighting the Nazis for, oh, two years or so before we actually got involved. \u00a0So it seems a bit counter-productive to complain about England loafing around, especially considering they had a vested interest in stopping the Germans from bombing them.<\/p>\n #6) It\u2019s Time<\/strong><\/p>\n Courtesy of the Australia Labor Party in 1972; they hadn\u2019t been running things for two decades. \u00a0Even so, they could be a little more specific; what\u2019s it time for? \u00a0A sandwich?<\/p>\n #5) I\u2019m not a witch, I\u2019m you!<\/strong><\/p>\n Courtesy of America\u2019s favorite Sarah Palin sidekick, Christine O\u2019Donnell, after there was a tempest in a teapot about how she was like every other woman born since around 1970 and actually dabbled in witchcraft. \u00a0You know, because being a Wiccan is somehow a big deal in a country that doesn\u2019t even pretend to care about religion anymore.<\/p>\n #4) He Kept Us Out of War!<\/strong><\/p>\n This was a campaign slogan for Woodrow Wilson in 1916. \u00a0If you know your history, you might remember why around 1917 this turned out to be a really bad slogan.<\/p>\n #3) Let\u2019s Make It a Landon Slide<\/strong><\/p>\n You kind of have to feel bad for Alfred Landon. \u00a0He was up against FDR, one of the most popular Presidents in American history. \u00a0He had absolutely no chance of winning. \u00a0The 1936 election brought new meaning to the term \u201cbeatdown\u201d with Landon winning only two states. \u00a0You can kind of feel it in his campaign materials. \u00a0They might as well have said \u201cGo Ahead, Waste Your Vote\u201d.<\/p>\n![\"thinking-they-thinking\"](\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/thinking-they-thinking.jpg\" "\\"thinking-they-thinking\\"")
