What is the real meaning behind a slogan?


As most of you know, we have started what some people call the “silly season” in NH.  The First in the Nation Presidential Primary, will be held on January 10, 2012.  Now you can ride around and see political signs everywhere.

On a trip to Barrington, on Saturday, I started to really read some of the slogans on some of the signs.

Mitt Romney’s signs read, “Believe in America”. It makes me wonder, does Mitt Romney think President Obama does not believe in America? Does Mitt Romney believe in the version of America, that healthcare is only for those who can afford it? Does Mitt Romney believe that prosperity should trickle down from the top, with the wealthiest of Americans able to benefit from the current tax policy.

 In what does Mitt Romney really believe?

 I have seen signs, for Ron Paul, stating “Restore American Now”. The thought that ran through my mind, “does Ron Paul believe that President Obama has damaged America?”  Are we talking about restoring America to a time without social safety nets?  During that time, the elderly without resources, lived on the resources of their families.

It just make me wonder, “what do these signs really mean?”
