Presidential Campaign Ads From Days Gone By

Cankles vs Da Hair has the potential to be the most ridicules and offensive pile of horse poop of all time.

So, what the hell …. let’s look at some ads from a different time.  It was a better time, wasn’t it?

1800 — Thomas Jefferson …. (seriously, he said this stuff!)

1952 — Eisenhower

1960 — JFK

1964 — LBJ

1968 — George Wallace

1984 — Ronald Reagan …. “Morning In America”, perhaps the most powerful and effective political ads of all time

Honest Gil, does a lot of finger pointing; Trump copied him.

The Ike ad certainly was inoffensive, Stucky, unlike the hit job Johnson pulled on Goldwater.

Two words: Pat Paulsen.

Some quotes from his 1968 presidential campaign:

“All the problems we face in the United States today can be traced to an unenlightened immigration policy on the part of the American Indian.”

“A good many people feel that our present draft laws are unjust. These people are called soldiers.” (He was a WWII marine.)

“Sex doesn’t have to be taught. It’s something most of us are born with.”

Presidential campaign slogan: “I’ve upped my standards. Now, up yours.”

Presidential campaign slogan: “If elected, I will win.”

Campaign supporters’ rallying cry: “We can’t stand Pat!”

“I am neither left wing nor right wing. I am middle-of-the-bird.”

“If either the right wing or the left wing gained control of the country, it would probably fly around in circles.”

“Marijuana should be licensed and kept out of the hands of teenagers. It’s too good for them.”

The first time I saw the Ike ad I was too young to vote, so I probably just shit in my diaper. I shit you not, I’m a ’52 model.
