“I believe in the two-party system—one on Friday night and one on Saturday night”

“I believe in the two-party system—one on Friday night and one on Saturday night” is a jocular political saying that has been printed on many images. “Overheard on the elevator: ‘I believe in the two-party system—one on Friday night, and one on Saturday night’” was printed in the Calgary (Alberta) Herald on November 2, 1946.

New Jersey Monthly
Candid Candidate: Presidential Pig Farmer Henry Krajewski
Pig farmer Henry J. Krajewski wanted our votes—and he’d promise free beer to get them.

By Jim Wright | | February 10, 2016
Who is New Jersey’s most memorable and (probably) least qualified presidential candidate ever?
 
In almost any category except for vote-getting, it was tough to beat Henry J. Krajewski, a Secaucus pig farmer and tavern owner who ran for president as a third-party candidate in 1952, 1956 and 1960.
(...)
Joe McKay of North Haledon, the son of a pig farmer and a family friend, remembers stapling “Krajewski for President” posters on telephone poles near the tavern.
“Henry used to say he believed in the two-party system—one on Friday nights and one on Saturday nights,” McKay recalls.
