[Shane Harris]

hahaha love it.

 

[Razmear]

"You should have listened last time"
"war = debt"

 

[Shane Harris]

i liked ... its the end of the world anyway. lol
i do think there are some which have potential tho. such as...

freedom brings us together
restore hope
a new hope (star wars fans will like haha)
our last hope
principle over politics

As obama displayed in 2008, optimism is what wins elections, we cant win by smearing the left and especially cant win by smearing the right, even tho we may disagree with a lot of them. it is foolish to paint ourselves as radicals or rebels or anything too fringe. RPs policy and philosophy speak for themselves and dont need us hurting him by pretending to be anarchists or crazy radicals. for that reason we need to communicate his ideals while still playing the reserved and classy game of politics. if not he cant win. its that simple. we need to be resectfully critical of the establishment and calmly argumentative and come across as intelligent, following ron paul's great example.

as for slogans and the like, i think whats even more important is a unified graphic design style. especially one which is modern, simple, friendly, and memorable. i say this because i am very critical of the "ron paul revolution" graphics. black and red is not the color scheme to win elections and certainly is not open and inclusive. also the army block print font is very abrasive and serif fonts seem too formal or unappealing. we need simple, helvetica. this goes back to seeming less radical or rebellious. this site http://ronpauldesigns.blogspot.com/ has experimented with what i feel is a very good start for creating a simple, "professional", legitimate, modern graphic design style which will suit us well and appeal to the general public. he also has a fb page here http://www.facebook.com/ronpauldesigns?ref=ts

i also think this is a strong and simple graphic which has great potential.

Ron Paul 2012 Freedom Family & Abundance

I passionately hated the slogan of the last campaign. Anything with the words "Hope" or "Change" in it is an automatic Epic Failure. If Ron Paul does run one more time, his slogan should be "The Revolution Continues" or something about restoring the Republic and defending the Constitution.

I read through A LOT of slogans in this thread. I think most of them completely miss the mark. A campaign slogan for Ron Paul must meet all of the following criteria:

- Summarize his entire platform in a few words or less
- Be catchy and easily memorable
- Be poignant, not vague or ambiguous
- Do not use cliches commonly distrusted
- Do not appear fringe or alienate people from the cause
- Do not say something easily objectionable from the right or left
- Do not say something other candidates claim as well
- Capture what every American is thinking


With that said here are a few I really like and think will work:

The Revolution Continues
Freedom Is Popular
Freedom, Prosperity & Peace


Here are my runner-ups:

Restore the Republic
Defend the Constitution
Principle Over Politics
Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness
Conserve Liberty
Protecting Constitutional Rights
Liberty For America
Freedom Brings Us Together


Thoughts anyone?

Agree with everything you just said. I'm a little underwhelmed at the amount of lame cliche slogans. Those are not fit for a serious campaign. Remember, last campaign there were two slogans- "Freedom, Prosperity, Peace" and "Hope for America- Be a Part of It". Both are great and I see no reason why they couldn't be used again.

Aside from those, my picks would be these:

"Peace for America"
"Freedom is Popular"
"Strong, Principled Leadership"
"The Constitution Can Save America"

 

[acptulsa]

Early:

Peace through Principle. Prosperity through Peace

Then shorten it:

Principle, Peace & Prosperity.

P.o.p.

I like the slogan above which reads "Principle Over Politics." That sounds catchy, to me.

Ron Paul 2012: Principle Over Politics

Oh yeah...

 

[PineGroveDave]

I like the "Principles Before Politics" or "Principles Over Politics" as well.

 

[PineGroveDave]

I will say this though...As much as "I" like it, it's still not enough. Americans by and large have been indoctrinated into the mindset of "What are our leaders going to do for me/us?". We've become nothing more than a mindless mob shouting "Gimme, gimme, gimme". We talk a good story, but really, we like our entitlements and look to our "illustrious elected officials" to tell us what they're going to do for us...and here's the rub...It doesn't matter if it's a bunch of vague, nebulous, lies...WE WANT TO BELIEVE!

And that's why Obama's bullshit "Hope and Change" and "Yes We Can!" crap spoke to the imbeciles and had them fainting in the isles.

Whatever the slogan is going to be...it must inspire "The Mob"...or the good Dr has no chance of winning. Much to my chagrin...that's the cold, hard truth.

 

[Eric21ND]

"believe"

 

[Eric21ND]

Restore America is good!

 

[Airborn]

"Unlike the others, Ron Paul wants you to google him!"

"Ron Paul: duh.. Winning!"

 

[Expatriate]

Here's another vote for "Rediscover Liberty"

 

[Shane Harris]

unfortunately yeah youre absolutely right. i completely agree

 

[dejavu22]

Don't give a drunk a drink
Dr. No, fiscal rehab for America
12on Paul

 

[devil21]

If it's gotta be something lofty and appeal to what "gimme gimme" crowd, then maybe something like Bringing Liberty Back? Sounds kinda like that Bringing Sexy Back song though. But maybe that's a good thing?

"Im bringin Liberty back"
Yeah!
"This government dont know how to act"
Yeah!
"Country is burning up and that's a fact"
Yeah!
"Ron Paul has your back"
Yeah!
"Take him to White House"
Yeah!

etc
