In The 50's We Had "I Like Ike", In 2012 "Mitt Is It"

The slogan's not new (the first part), but the idea of this image popped in my head randomly, so I made it...



TOPICS: Humor; Politics
KEYWORDS: barackobama; mittromney; slogan

I can remember walking in to my first day of first grade at Wilson School proudly wearing a large “I Like Ike” button.

I recall a Carter campaign button:

“Grits and Fritz Give Me the Sh1tz”

You might want to take a crack at this idea... One of my favorite Civil War songs is I Goes To Fight Mit Sigel sung to the tune of The Girl I Left Behind Me. Sigel was General Franz Sigel who was a lousy general but wildly popular with his mostly German immigrant troops. Most of them spoke little English so when asked why they fight they often answered "I goes to fight mit Sigel." A songwriter, F. Poole, sort of joshed the German dialect with the song. Here are a few stanzas:

I've come shust now to tells you how,
I goes mit regimentals,
To schlauch dem voes of Liberty,
Like dem old Continentals,
Vot fights mit England long ago,
To save der Yankee Eagle;
Und now I gets my sojer clothes;
I'm going to fight mit Sigel.

Ven I comes from der Deutsche Countree,
I vorks somedimes at baking;
Den I keeps a lager beer saloon,
Und den I goes shoe-making;
But now I was a sojer been
To save der Yankee Eagle,
To schlauch dem tam secession volks,
I goes to fight mit Sigel.

I gets ein tam big rifle guns,
Und puts him to mine shoulder,
Den march so bold like a big jackhorse,
Und may been someding bolder;
I goes off mit de volunteers
To save der Yankee Eagle;
To give dem Rebel vellers fits.
I goes to fight mit Sigel.

You might want to write a parody song (of a parody song) called "I Goes To Vote Mitt Romney" also to the tune of "The Girl I Left Behind Me." Knowing you the idea is already germinating inside your brain cells. Could be a popular campaign song!

“Mittsie” to the tune of “Dixie” would be more memorable, lol.

Not exactly a PC song. Would cause too many problems.

Oh, come on, it’d be teh awesomeness ... Everybody sing along: “I think I’ll vote for Mittsie, Hooray! Hooray! For Mitt’s my man, I’ll make my stand to live and die for Mittsie.”

Much more compelling than that Hessian ditty, don’t you think?

Yeah, I can already picture the MSM ripping into a Mitt campaign song to the tune of Dixie. Why don’t you wait until Charles works his magic?

Thirty years ago Ronald Reagan was President. We had Steve Jobs, Johnny Cash, and Bob Hope. Now Barack Hussein Obama is ‘resident. We have no Jobs, no Cash, and no Hope!

Weeyull, maybe referencing petty regionalist sentiment set to song, pertaining to the CIVIL WAR might not be the optimal approach to winning electoral votes in the south or even nationally ... Ya thaink?

“The Girl I Left Behind Me” is more a cavalry song than a strictly Civil War song. Also the words of a “I Goes to Vote Mitt Romney” would have CURRENT not Civil War references.

Remember the old bumper sticker of the pregnant colored girl with the caption “I WENT ALL THE WAY WIF LBJ!”

Then it was used again with “NIXON’S THE ONE!”

I’ve got a bunch of buttons with “Nixon - Now more than ever”. (My old man had them). The last 3.5 years I’ve been tempted to wear one!

My suggestion for a bumper sticker is:

Re-Elect Obama
Mulligans - Not just for golf.

... and the words to “I Think I’ll Vote For Mittsie” would have current not Civil War references as well.

Is reminding the electorate of Mitt Romney’s Massachussetts era advisable, given the liberal baggage that comes along with it? Seems that might muddy the waters a tad, as far as packaging Romney as standing in opposition to certain Obama administration efforts.

Is suppressing turnout in two battleground states, among historically literate voters at least, a good thing? Want to try to make the EV tally work without NC and VA?

Since Newsweek accused him of being a wimp... like anyone could be more of a girly man than Obama... It might be a hard sell but I think we could fight back with:

Mit’s got grit
Obama’s a twit

I was born the day before my Dad went to the polls to vote for Ike. I’m assuming Mom did not make the trip...
