PD for President!  The AFDNC dream!!!

What the Hell would compell you say that. Earlier I was Barry Goldwater. Hell, I'd like to stay that way.

[PD]

Think of it this way: I stand at a level 10 out of 100 on abortion.

In a two way race, you would lose decisively to Migrendel, a socialist.  Why?  Migrendel has shown the capacity for abstract thinking and the ability to state his opinion without going on a tirade.  I would hate to discourage any Republican from voting for PD, his nomination is a dream of mine.

What is this 10 of 100 scale you use?

A 10 would mean you strongly oppose. A 90 would mean you strongly support. Got it?

Okay, I got it.

I seemed to remember that you mentioned incest somewhere. So if I got you right, you're opposed to abortion in all cases except if they both die if the woman has the baby?

Only in some cases. If the girl is has her whole life ahead of her and there's a 100% chance of them both dying, then as much as I hate to say it, yes. Okay. Look at it like this. If someone took your parents hostage and your dad happened to have a disease that you all knew would kill him in 9 months, and the hostage taker told you that you had to shoot one of them or he would kill them both, what would you do? You understand that the circumstance is very unlikely and that I really do oppose abortion, right? I don't want you people thinking I support it now. Please, tell me you understand!

Oh, but I do understand now. You're willing to agree to abortion if it saves a life you think worthy of saving, and would otherwise kill both. Correct?

What do you mean? Isn't that what you said? I was honestly trying to understand your position, in fact I thought I did. What was wrong with my post? You said you would agree to, however unwillingly, to abortion, if they would both die otherwise, and the woman was worth saving (i.e. young enough, and so on). I think that is what I stated above. I am not out to catch you here, I want to know where you stand for the benefit of all participants of the election.

Okay. If they are both going to die, and she was raped (not horny and decided she was gonna go get screwed) and if she is extremely young and there was a 100% chance they would both die. Even if she was raped and extremely young, if the baby was going to live, then it shall be born and she will die (if she has to). This is where I stand. But let it be known: I OPPOSE ABORTION TO THE FULLEST EXTENT!!!

[PD]

Also, I oppse ALL partial birth abortions. No matter what.

OK, got it.

If she was married, or just wanted to keep the baby originally, but changes her mind b/c they would both die if the baby was born, then they would have to die, right?

And where does the youth part end, if she is say 20, raped and they both die if the baby is born, would they both have to die then too? If you are going to introduce legislation, you would have to define an age limit.

Radio Broadcast in New Hampshire

Demrepdan: Hi, I'm Demrepdan. After some recent comments my Republican opponent, PD, has made, I have decide to give a statement on education and social security. PD has recently spoke out on his opinions of Social Security. This is what he has said....

On social security, I think it needs to be reformed. If it's not, it will go bankrupt. Personally, people should get off their lazy butts and go to college and get a better job so that you don't have to depend on social security.

    I must say I agree somewhat with this candidates position. People who do not work most of their lives should not be dependent off the government to live when they get older. But who will take care of them? You must realize that we ALL get older some day. ALL of us, and we will ALL have to face the problems the elderly face today. Well, I say lets begin to START fixing these problems now, for the sake of the future.
   You say people should get off their lazy butts and go to college? Well, how can they when most people who have the potential to go to college CAN NOT, simply because they can not afford it financially. My education plan will give young adults the BOOST that they never had in the past. I've done research on this particular matter, (College English 102 paper) very FEW elderly people went to college, because college did not become more affordable until the baby boomer generation occurred. GI's returning from WWII were given a chance to go to college by the government, but many refused in order to immediately spend more time with their loved ones.
   From the 1960's to 1980's when the baby boomer generation began to attend college, the demand for college went UP, as did the price of tuition. Today's society demands a college education more than EVER. We need to give these kids a chance so they won't be living off the government when they are older after having hardly done any work in their lives. We have NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN about what is going on with the elderly and social security right NOW, if we REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS! We need to help get EVERY American child in order to achieve better future generations. I believe what PD is forgetting, is that not every child is NOT born rich! Some children don't receive success when they are born, but they WORK for it throughout their lives. And that's what being a TRUE AMERICAN is all about! As President, I will face the problems of Social Security, but I will plant the seed NOW to make it better so we will not have these problems to facet in the not so distant future. Above all, I vow to take care of the elderly as President. We should never NOT care about them. If that attitude is kept alive for the future, then we will have nothing to look forward to OURSELVES as we grow old. And we will INDEED grow old. These are the issues you need to be thinking of when you go out to cast you vote in the primaries.
Thank you for your time.

Television Commercial

Man's Voice: Presidential candidate PD seems to be having troubles on where he stands with abortion. He CLAIMS that he only supports it under certain conditions, or 10% of the time, (10 to 100). He CLAIMS to only support abortion if the mother's life is in danger, and if she has her "whole" life ahead of her. Who's to say WHEN life actually begins? You can ALWAYS live your life to the fullest, no matter who you are or how OLD you are. So he is advocating, that it's ok if the mother's life is in danger, and she is in her 30's or 40's, because she will die soon anyway. Isn't that murder? Isn't ALLOWING a person to die based on her age just as BAD and IMMORAL as the idea of abortion itself? This is the recent statement he made on abortion:
 

On abortion, I oppose it UNLESS a woman is raped and her life is in danger if she has the child. That is the only way I will let it swing. If a woman gets herself pregnant and doesn't want the child, tough. Deal with it. You made the mistake of having unprotected sex outside of marriage. I believe abortion is murder.

Man's Voice: Here's ANOTHER statement he made about abortion, BEFORE he entered the race:

ABORTION IS WRONG! IT IS EVIL AND IT IS MURDER! ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS IT IS AN ACCOMPLICE MURDERER AND ANYONE WHO PERFORMS IT OR HAS IT DONE IS A MURDERER!

(Picture of PD with his eyebrows furrowed is shown on the screen)

Man's Voice: With a statement like that one would think that PD is 100% opposed to abortion! So he goes from 100% to 90% opposed. So, where DOES PD TRULY stand on the issues? Why would he make such a radical statement as he did on January 2nd and not MEAN it. I think he is just jumping back and forth, trying to sponge away the image of him being a cold hearted politician. Well, it's too late, PD. We know the truth. Who can you trust this election?

(Picture of Demrepdan with a gentle smile on his face appears on the screen)

Man's Voice: When it comes to INTEGRITY you know which candidate to come to. Demrepdan has never said something, and then turned back on it. He may have many moderate opinions, but he STANDS behind them and would NEVER lie in order to get elected. When it comes to this election whom do you trust more? Someone who spouts off at the mouth and doesn't think about what he says before he says them, and then turns around and does something else in order to NOT seem like a bad guy?

(Picture of PD with eyebrows furrowed appears again then fades to the picture of Demrepdan with the gentle smile on his face again)

Man's Voice: Or would you rather trust someone who thinks about what he says, and NEVER backs down on an issue just to gain support. Integrity is a big part of this election, and I think the people know who to turn to. The people know who to TRUST.

Press conference held by PD in response to Demrepdan's radio broadcast:

  Hello. I'm PD and as you know, I'm running for president in the Atlas Fantasy Republican Primary. I would like to respond to my opponent's radio broadcast released today. First, in the radio broadcast, he mentioned the elderly. I never once said anyhting negative about the elderly. I think the elderly need to cared for as much as regular aged people. I care deeply for the elderly and will work to keep them well cared for and treated with the respect they deserve. I said social securtity should be reformed. For if it is not, the program will go bankrupt. I did not say get rid of it completely. It should, however, not be used so loosely. Don't forget that it's taxpayer's "YOUR" dollars that pay into social security. It should be used for the people that ABSOLUTELY need it. Not people that sit around doing nothing with their lives and then say "Oh, I wish I could've done better. So, taxpayers, save me." I understand that not everybody is born into wealthy families, but that does not mean they can't go to college. There are scholarships. There are financial aid plans. You don't have to be wealthy to go to college. But what you DO need is the will to do so. The WILL to get good grades, the WILL to get to the top. If you have no desire to do that, then you don't deserve to have the American Taxpayers pay for your life. And if you can't afford to go to college and if you can't get scholarships and if you can't afford financial aid plans, then there are always community colleges. Though not the best, they're better than giving up and doing nothing.
I hope you realize that what my opponent is trying to do is sabotage my campain. Don't vote for a person that switched parties in order to be elected. DON'T be deceived. Thank You.

[PD]

Press conference held by PD in response to Demrepdan's TV ad:

  Hello again. You all know who I am. I am here to respond to the slanderous television ad that my opponent has released today. The ad states my stand on abortion. Well I'm here to set it straight. Here is my stance on abortion: I oppose it all for ONE, yes ONE *1*, circumstance. That circumstance is this: if a girl of the age of 18 or younger is raped and it is 100% sure that both she and her baby will die if she is to have the baby. If she is going to die and her baby is to live, then forget it. I believe that abortion is murder. But in the instance described a few moments ago, it is the lesser of two evils. To let two innocent lives be lost, rather than one, it is obviously a larger loss of innocent life. If, however, a girl has sex just because she feels like it, and her and her baby's life is in danger if she has the child, then so be it. She should have thought about that earlier. If it is the same circumstance but the baby is not going to die, then she's gonna have that baby and she will die. That baby is innocent. She is not. She brought it upon herself. Also, the circumstance in which I will, reluctantly, let abortion swing, is extremely uncommon. For partial birth abortions, I oppose no matter what the case. Also, my opponent said I support abortion 10% of the time. That is not true. The 10 was just a number in an example. In percentage points, I support abortion .001% of the time. If even that.
Keep in mind that I oppse abortion and believe it is murder. Also, addressing my opponent's question of when life begins, it begins at conception.
Once again, don't be deceived by this phony Republican. He is truly a democrat at heart. He only switched parties in order to get elected. Don't be deceived. Thank You.

Television ad:

*Voice is Speaking*

What kind of person would you like to be your president of this great nation? Would you have a person who switches political parties in order to get elected? Someone who distorts his opponent's statements? Someone who uses slanderous and untrue statements against his opponent in order to make himself look good? Someone like Demrepdan? Or would you rather have a person with morals, experience, and integrity. Someone who is right to the point? Someone loyal to his party and people? If so, then elect PD for your Republican candidate.
     
      *Picture fades to PD, standing by a desk*

"Hi. I'm PD, and I'm running for president in the Republican Primary. I have the morals, integrity, and experience needed to be your candidate against the democrats. I am strongly against abortion, affirmative action, and gay rights. I support business and personal tax cuts. I support the environment but believe that people are more important and that they should come first. I think that social security should be reformed. I believe that we need to put a stop to illegal immigration. We can't have illegal immigrants running around killing our law enforcement officers and then running back home so we can't touch them. We can't have potential terrorists running around plotting attacks on this great nation. I strongly support military funding. We must be prepared to strike anyone that strikes us and we must be prepared to defend ourselves. I believe that if people want to smoke, let them smoke, but not around others that don;t like it. I strongly oppose gun control. I support public education funding, but to a certain extent. We need to start teaching our kids what we used to, before the Clinton-Gore administration stepped in and changed what we taught our children. They have been brainwashed. They don't know how the electoral process works, who Robert E. Lee was, who Ronald Reagan was, or anything positive having to do with our history. They do know all about Watergate and that we were a slaveholding, sexist, racist country. They are taught to be ashamed of our heritage. Prayer has been banned from public schools. Is prayer not freedom of speech? Who cares if it offends anybody? They're talking about being gay and lesbian offends us and we have to listen to it. Kids are being expelled from school because they pray to God before eating lunch. I do support private education to some extent as well. I have been in private schools most of my life and there is so much favoritism played by the teacher and administrators to the students. The only way to get a good education there is if you do something special for them and if you're popular. Private education is good for some, bad for others. I also strongly support the death penalty. Here is a list of my experience: I am a member of my school's debate team and have won every debate I've been in, I am an elected member of the Student Senate at my school, I have grown up in a political environment, and I have run for 3 elected school offices before and won every time. I am not the most popular person around, but I believe I am the best qualified for the job. I am loyal to my party and its people, unlike my opponent, Demrepdan, who switched parties in order to get elected. Thank you, and I hope you make the right decision.

[Demrepdan]

Press Conference for Demrepdan in response to PD's ad.

Reporter: Senator, did you see the recent ad campaign by your opponent?

Demrepdan: Yes *laughter*

Reporter: How do you feel that he essentially said you have no morals?

Demrepdan: Well, I uhh....*laughter*..this is just out right laughable. I don't see how he could question my morals.

Reporter: He also attacks you switching political parties.

Demrepdan: This is not surprising. Ever sense I entered this race I was FULLY expecting to be attacked by Republicans on this issue. After having REPEATEDLY stated that I am a moderate, and have voted for and supported both Democrats AND Republicans. And also after having REPEATEDLY stated that I share many ideals from both political parties. It makes me kind of worried to be SHUNNED away from the party, and I'm sure many others have this feeling too. And that's what I'm running for, to CHANGE the face of the Republican Party, and make EVERYONE want to vote Republican. The image PD is giving Republicans, will not be the image all Americans want to see.

Reporter: But you still don't say whether or not you....

Demrepdan: Listen, I would consider Supersoulty more competition in the political race than PD, and thus far, Supersoulty attacks on me switching parties have been minimal to none. It seems that PD is bothered by this more than anyone. I mean, I have NO problem with ANYONE switching parties! If you're a Republican and have a change of heart and decide to vote Democratic, that's fine with me. If you're a Democrat and have a revelation and decide to be a Republican, that's ALSO fine with me. I would think that individual political parties would be ECSTATIC at the fact they are gaining more members and MORE support! However, PD evidently doesn't share these feelings with average people, but he's entitled to whatever he thinks. I respect his opinion, regardless of whether he respects mine.

Reporter: Do you think PD could win the nomination?

Demrepdan: I think that any of us could win the nomination, it's too early to say.

Reporter: Would you endorse and support the Republican nominee, if you are not nominated?

Demrepdan: That depends. As of right now, out of loyalty to the party I would. But if the nominee turns out to be EXTREMELY conservative, which is what I've fighting against, extreme liberalism and conservatism, then I don't think I would endorse him. But I would CERTAINLY work with him to help him win the General Election.  By that I mean helping him find at least a SOMEWHAT moderate base, in order to really win BIG this election. Which I hope we will do. But if he becomes to radical for me, I would most likely be endorsing a Democrat. Or...maybe just not voting at all..*laughter* But I think the Republican nominee would be me. Next question...

Reporter: PD also questions your experience. What are your remarks to.......

Demrepdan: *laughter* Oh boy...I...*laughter*. I don't know WHERE he think's he is going with that. The fact is I have MUCH more experience than him, in every way I can think of. And both Republicans AND Democrats KNOW this! I mean what he said is just...*laughter*...next question...*laughter*.

Reporter: In one of your recent ads, Senator, you attacked PD's integrity, but in HIS ad he attacks yours. What do you have to say to this?

Demrepdan: I attacked his integrity because he seemed to be jumping back and forth on a crucial issue. He seemed to be 100% against abortion, and now he's willing to let it slide under certain conditions. Although his conditions are more strict than mine, they are "conditions" nonetheless. What I was REALLY attacking him on is the fact that he BLEW up, and spouted off a very radical comment. And now he's upset with me because I had people in my campaign sift through his other statements and FIND what he said. As far as MY integrity goes, I don't see how he could question mine. I have been straight forward, I say what I feel. Everything I have said in this campaign has been what I FEEL from the heart, and it has been the absolute TRUTH. I couldn't LIE this much, and find so much passion from falseness. It's TRUTH, that sparks the spirit, and I believe you'll find a lot of spirit and TRUTH in my speeches. I will NEVER say anything just to make a person happy. However, I will at least LISTEN to that person, to understand a particular problem. But I PROMISE you that I will not SLIDE back and forth on issues, just to appease voters. What I say is how I feel. If you like it, then I think you're on the right side, and we will go on to victory. If you DON'T like it, then oh well. Nothin I can do about it.

Several Reporters at once: SENATOR! SENATOR! A QUESTION FROM THE...EXCUSE ME..SENATOR!!

Demrepdan: That's all for today, I have nothing else to say on this matter....thank you.

Several Reporters at once: SENATOR! YOU SAY THAT YOU...SENATOR!!

Press conference held by PD in response to Demrepdan's:

Hello. I will not be taking any questions. I'm just here to defend myself. My former opponent has said over and over that I slide back and forth on abortion. I have corrected that statement every time and I'm not going to waste my time doing it again now. I mean, really, is that his only strategy? He has also tried to sabotage my campaign by spreading the rumor that I commited voter fraud. I also cleared that up as well. If you believe me, great, if not, then you can go sit in your own ignorance. At any rate, I'm out of the race due to personal reasons, which I also explained earlier. Thank you.
