| abstract | - "Vote Fish Penis" - Often touted as the most popular of all campaign slogans, and at the very least, the most memorable. The slogan - first used in Ronald Reagan's 1980 bid for the White House - not only let the politician connect with the everyday United States citizen, but also helped bring the country together once again. Thanks to the slogan, the once great, once terrible, once great again, but now dead Ronald Reagan took office in January of 1981. Although Reagan's presidency marked many firsts for the country, most of these were over-shadowed by the now infamous "Vote Fish Penis." The phenomenon itself was hard to explain, but no one could deny the strange urge they felt after hearing, seeing, or sometimes just smelling the words. After discovering the effect that the seemingly random group of words had on voters, the Republican party acted quickly to harness their power. With nearly 19 months left before the elections were to be held, the slogan was already becoming a household name. Once again taking into consideration the great power of the words, the GOP decided to choose their presidential candidate using the highly controversial eenie meenie minie mo method. Shortly after Reagan took office, he announced that the slogan would be retired. However, not even this intolerable act of cruelty could squelch the fire burning beneath "Vote Fish Penis."
