Just returned from a Christmas soiree at my beloved Aunt Cindy's house. She gave me a vintage-style politically themed stocking stuffer/day planner. There are several presidential campaign slogans printed on the back. Thus, here's what past presidents and candidates have said to sway voters:
A time for Greatness-- 1960 John F. Kennedy
Are you Better Off Now Than You Were Four Years Ago?-- 1980 Ronald Reagan
Back to Normalcy-- 1920 Warren G. Harding
Ross For Boss-- 1992 H. Ross Perot
Don't Swap Horses in Midstream-- 1864 Abraham Lincoln
Four More Years of the Full Dinner Pail-- 1900 William McKinley
It's Morning Again in America-- 1984 Ronald Reagan
A Leader, For a Change-- 1976 Jimmy Carter
Government Of, By, and For the People, Not the Monied Interests-- 2000 Ralph Nader
