Sen. James Crockett Jr.

Classic Conservative

Boo! Hiss!

[White Trash]

There comes a time when the party is split -- split by radically differing visions for the future. On one hand, you have the direction of 'anything goes'; a party that might lack any grounding in reality, you might even say. Completely out of touch with how people are suffering and focusing on all the improper wedge 'issues'.

We constantly have to face what is clearly low-level of critical thinking parading around as intellectualism, and it's a movement that we can't stand for. I will not stand behind a cause that I so vehemently oppose as an ugly direction for our nation for the sake of party; there ought to be a moral cause to fight for beyond stopping the other guy, and never in the history of our Democratic Party have we had such a valiant hero to guide us there. For the first time in centuries, we have a candidate who will stand up for the rights of the people against unfettered capitalism rather than making small concessions. He has proven it can work in a very red state. Samuel Gothic has fought his whole life for justice, and I know he has a long life ahead of him to make even further strides to stop our society from falling into the hands of degeneracy. Sam will restore American values and reignite the morals that make us strong. The choice has never been more clear.

Would you just look at that folks. I have the best endorsements. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it.

[White Trash]

Sam Gothic's the people's politician. He'll get things done. Endorsed.

Like I said, the best endorsements.

Of course the establishment lines upon behind their poster child. The working people of America are going to take the Democratic Party back from the Hollywood elite and their Wall Street bankrollers! Up with democracy! Down with latte liberalism!

The straws the Gothic campaign grabs at to portray us as "The Establishment" is sickening. The Agustine Campaign will run a positive, uplifting campaign, not one that divides us.

I hope Gov. Gothic will retract his statement and pledge to do what is best for the nation, not for himself.

It is clear to all of my supporters, and all of America that my campaign is built upon the very foundations of doing what is best for this country. Now that stands in direct opposition to Mr. Augustine's campaign which is built in the pocketbooks of foreign investors and in the boardrooms of the ivory tower elite.

My campaign is one for ordinary people. For honest, hard-working men and women of every race, creed, gender, color and sexuality. It is high time that the views of the President reflect the views of the disenfranchised majority and not a handful of party leaders in a smoke-filled room.

I implore each and everyone of you to remember that a vote for Mr. Augustine is vote for more of the same. For more of the same old political hackery and backroom deals that have for so long torn this nation apart. Mr. Augustine is the candidate for gridlock, lobbying and special interest groups. Mr. Augustine, quite frankly, is the candidate for old politics. I promise you now in this moment, and every moment hereafter that I will be committed to the needs and the wishes of the everyday American. That I will not allow any outside influence or personal corruption to sway my opinion and policy away from this. And that I will bring real and honest change to the political system here in America.

Our victory will be a victory for ordinary people. Not for the lobbyists and party chairs in Washington. Not for the executives in Manhattan. But for everyone pursuing the American dream on main streets across this nation, remember that our victory is for you.

[White Trash]

Not for the executives in Manhattan.

Sounds like someone doesn't want to win my game

Oh, I didn't mean your kind of Manhattan executive of course.

I am more than willing to link arms with Governor Augustine. I will link arms with any and all who will take up the righteous and noble cause of defending the rights of the American people. I believe that in his heart and in his practice, Governor Augustine is a good man, a good friend, and a good patriot.

However, I believe that his ideals represent the wishes and the will of the entrenched party elite. I will concede that I did strike the first blow of negativity in this campaign and said some things for rhetorical effect that sounded mighty harsh. But I will never back down from my firm belief that Governor Augustine represents the tried and failed policies and tactics of this generation of Democratic leadership. I respect Governor Augustine a great deal, but I believe that his handlers and those in the party leadership cannot be trusted to carry out the will of the American people. Nor do I believe them to have a coherent and honest strategy to defeat the Republican nominee in November.

Now looking over Governor Augustine's policy proposals, I like a lot of what he has to offer. But I am unable to shake this feeling that these are simply note cards being pushed his way from the office of the DNC. Furthermore, I believe that Mr. Augustine showcases his political savy but at the same time reveals his lack of resolve in this speech. Mr. Augustine, if I may address you directly, I will not "attempt" to abolish the putrid system of "right to work" states. I will. I will not "attempt" to end American involvement in the TPP and renegotiate NAFTA. By god Governor Augustine, I will.

And ladies and gentlemen that's ultimately what this primary will come down to. The same old promises we hear cycle after cycle, nominee after nominee. Against pragmatic and long reaching for this generation and every generation hereafter. And we can do this by enacting my platform and rejecting both the neoliberalism of our own party and the conservative agenda of the Republicans. We must take the economic powers of this country back from the ivory tower and into the communities and homes of the average American. For too long, both parties have allowed this nation to be ruled by the checkbooks of the billionaire class, and by supporting our movement we can end this injustice once and for all.

According to the tables that we have assembled. It is our estimate that the top 1 percent of the American people own forty percent of our wealth. While the bottom eighty own only seven, with most not owning enough to pay the debts that they owe. How many of you ever went to a barbecue and let one man take what was meant for nine to eat. The only way you will ever feed the balance of the people is to make that man come back to the table and give up that grub he ain't got no business with. We must break up the elite's stranglehold on our economy. We must limit inheritances to $60 million, with the balance going to the public. We must cap personal fortunes at $3 billion and allow the hard working people of America to receive their fair share. We must allow for a thirty hour work week, with paid vacation and maternity and paternity leave. We must allocate funds for the higher education of the poor and the destitute children who live on the scraps left by the elite. For the future of this nation lies within our young people. And the entirety of this nation will be able to reach it's full and best potential if our movement takes us all the way to the White House.

God bless you, God bless the working man, and God bless America.
