The actor is on a stage in front of a crowd representing the Real Conservative Movement (RCM).
The actor emerges from behind a curtain and paces the stage until the audience is silenced.
The actor positions himself center-stage and addresses the crowd:
"Imagine, if you will, a candidate who can solve the economic problems of America. Imagine a candidate who can put in place policies that will make the next generation of Americans wealthier, more educated, more secure, and more free.
"Imagine this candidate will balance the budget and pay off our national debt within six months of being elected President of the United States. He wins, almost over-night, the "war on terrorism," stops illegal immigration, and, by virtue of his genius, discovers the first-ever clean, green, oil deposit somewhere in Nebraska.
"This new clean, green oil can be delivered to market within days, and, guess what? America has so much of this clean, green, new oil -- we become a net exporter of oil, and the revenues allow the federal government to have a financial surplus for the next 1,000 years, and the ability to send each and every American an annual check for $35,000.
"Let's say this candidate's policies increase our international influence and prestige, and that our military becomes even more dominant. This candidate revitalizes free-enterprise in America and unemployment drops to 0! Stay with me people!
"Let us imagine no more poverty in America, no more racism -- unbelievable economic prosperity, AND -- no more disease! This candidate never breaks the law and defends the Constitution. This candidate is also a humanitarian, philanthropist, and one of the most caring and generous people on Earth.
"Now, let us imagine that this candidate was a Deist and/or not religious at all. Imagine this candidate, because he is virtually ideologically agnostic on all social issues, tells the nation that all social and religious issues involving morality should be left up to the states and parents.
"Pretend this candidate says he does not care what people do in the privacy of their homes as long as no person is being harmed. Let's say this candidate has been divorced 12 times and has numerous children with a plethora of women (all of whom say he is a wonderful and caring father) throughout the world."
The actor pauses for a long while. He puts his thumb under his chin pretending to look intellectual.
The actor walks closer to the audience and asks (in a loud, motivational tone): "Who among you would vote for the candidate described above?"
The crowd briefly pauses, seemingly shocked! Then a chorus of boos echo through-out the auditorium.
The boos turn into yells: "Never! Never!" Many in the audience rise to their feet and chant, "Not me, not me, not me ... "
Scene ends with actor running off stage as peanuts are hurled in his direction.
Cut!
