Last November, while taking about a
quarter-assed look at political slogans, I cited Herbert Hoover's "chicken in every pot, car in every garage" motto as the best slogan in history. I was wrong. Reader
Margueritte sent me this
old Guardian link about war-torn Liberia and President Charles Taylor (right). In the article, writer Sarah Left reports that one of Taylor's slogans in the 1997 general election was: "
He killed my Ma, he killed my Pa, but I will vote for him." Taylor won 75% of the popular vote.

yeah? fuck you douchebag!
What's with the finger? Is Taylor trying to emulate Bubba? Speaking of Bubba: his slogan was - The Man From Hope; when it should have been - Let Me Put Some Ice On That.
chuck taylor is wearing lipstick. lipstick and a tight, puckered, honeysuckle bum.
He probably paid for his campaign with all of the money he made from Converse.
His original slogan was:
A relative in every pot, and what's a garage?
