Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for a little honesty with you here. I know some of you are going to panic when you hear this, but I, frankly, am bored. I'm bored with all this, I'm bored with the Democrat primary. I've been doing this for 16 years and I'm hearing the same old BS. I'm listening to the same type of people say the same old BS. I'm listening to the same type of press coverage. I'm hearing it, same type of analysis, the same type of excitement, it's all meaningless. Every bit of this is just meaningless. There's nothing new these people are saying, and they're just Democrats. They're just liberal Democrats. There's a new level of rage that accompanies these people this time out, and I know the circumstances that we face as a country are every bit as grave, particularly in the area of national security. If I were worried that one of these clowns were going to win, I mean, it might be different, but I don't see it happening. And since I don't see one of these clowns winning, it's gotten to the point this stuff doesn't even amuse me anymore. It just flat out bores me. Can I sum up the Democratic Party? We spend three hours a day here talking about all these things that are going on out there, in-depth analysis, trying to give you angles that nobody else has looked into and thoughts and opinions that nobody else has had. But the Democrats have become such an insignificant bunch of opposition. I mean they're just insignificant. I can sum them up here in about a minute and a half. Let me tell you what Democrats believe. You know, we can sit here, for example, we could do an analysis of their post-state of the union responses, and I could go what each candidate said, we could pick it apart left and right, up and down, front-to-back, but I can sum up every Democrat, I can sum up every member of MoveOn.org, I can sum up every Deaniac. I don't care whether they're supporting Kerry or Edwards or Lieberman or whoever else is in this race, let me just describe this is the position of the Democratic Party, as we sit here today, January 22nd, 2004: Working families, everybody except rich people are miserable. There are no jobs and there's no health insurance, schools do not have any money. Kids in school are starving because of the school lunch cuts back in 1995. Social Security is almost bankrupt, and Bush wants to take that money, and give it to Halliburton so they can go to Mars and get oil. Medicare is also at risk. Everybody is losing their health insurance except the rich and nobody is doing anything about it. Medicaid is at risk. We need more welfare. Only rich people got the tax cuts, and they didn't even want the tax cuts, they don't even need the money. Republican special interest groups are too powerful. Corporations have too much influence with Republicans. Okay, the economy may be better, but it's better the wrong way. Rich and powerful forces are out to get you. They're out to get your kids, minorities, particularly Hispanics are hardest hit this year, and, oh, yeah, Halliburton is evil. We don't have friends. Nobody likes us because George Bush is arrogant and won't say nice things to the French. We're scared to vacation in Paris now. We love going to Paris, but only people like Wesley Clark can go there anymore, and it's unfortunate because the French hate us and we want the French to love us but the French hate us because they hate Bush because Bush doesn't care about the French or anything that comes from there, and we wish the French loved us, but the French hate and this makes us feel horrible. And as a result of the French hating us, we're not safe. We can't depend on anybody in this country to protect us, because we want to get rid of the military. We want to get rid of the threat we pose to the rest of the world so that the French will like us. We're perfectly willing for the French and those of the United Nations to defend us. We don't have any homeland security, because police and firemen don't have any resources. We don't have any more fire trucks, we don't have any more police cars, George Bush tricked us into going to war, and all the money for this country and the children and Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security is being spent in Iraq. We should have never gone to Iraq, we shouldn't be in Iraq. Watch out, your job's going to be outsourced to Iraq. Where the hell is Iraq, anyway, and who cares? The UN won't help because George Bush won't say nice things to the UN. Oh, yeah, we Democrats are strong on national security. We always have been, and we believe in a strong America. You can count on us. Just listen to the words we say and you can count on the fact that we believe in a strong America. So long as we're running it, and the military gets weakened, and the CIA and the FBI can't connect dots, that's the way we want things to be, but Bush is so filled with hatred and rage that he wants America spying on us because Bush thinks we're the traitors, Bush thinks we're the criminals, Bush thinks we're the Halliburtons and so he's taking all the resources and spying on us and we don't like being spied on, we want control of this government again so we can start spying on you. Ever since Bill Clinton left, life has been awful. Life sucks ever since Clinton went away. We're good people. Republicans are bad people. Vote for us. Save the children. The End. That's it, folks. I mean, that's your modern day Democratic Party today.
