When my dad was president, I'd often dream of your beautiful tourist attractions, wonderful interstate highways, and Mom and Pop diners. But Al Gore wants to change all that. He wants to use the government surplus not to pay off the national debt, but to tear down your State Capital and put up a wildlife preserve. But my focus isn't on Elk, it's on the God-fearing men and women of America. Let Al Gore get his money from some slant-eyed stranger from Japan who doesn't even worship one god--the right God. Instead, I depend on honest folks like you to elect me to help you. I'm running for the people and with the people to take back our nation from the hippies. When my dad was president, no one took drugs, but now all the kids are using like I did under Carter. Heh heh heh. Just kidding. But when there's a Demo in office, people can't help but become hippies. Now McCain said he saw a sign that said 'Hippies for McCain': hippies don't like me because I'm tough on drugs and strong on defense. It takes a lot of missiles to stop illegal immigrants from smuggling drugs into this great nation of ours. But I'm concerned about character. Al Gore is against putting the 10 Commandments up in schools, but that's because his boss has broken nearly every one in the past eight years! I say that we teach children not to kill each other. What's so bad about that? The best way we can do this is by stressing character development in schools. I'm all about education: my wife's a teacher. We need to stop having kids read books like Catch-22 by Joseph Heller and Brave New World by Franz Kafka . We need to teach them the strong love, commitment, religion, and family values found in books like War and Peace by Arnold Schwartzenegger and The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by Adolf Hitler. We also need to get strong on defense. We don't want to be the sissy boy no one picks for boxing . We cannot afford to be the laughing stock of the playground anymore: my daddy didn't raise me that way. We're a strong country and it's time we started acting that way. I want to thank you, the great people of Washington, D.C. for letting me speak to you. Remember, I'm a reformer with results. God bless you and your loved ones.
