Answers:

  • What is your overall position on the Vietnam War?
    We keep emboldening the enemy in Vietnam with half-measures. We will never win this war unless we escalate it.
  • If elected, what will you do to get the student and Negro riots in this country under control?
    Law and order is the primary theme of my campaign. We also need to encourage investment in the ghettoes to ensure a high quality of life and prevent these occurrences.
  • What is your opinion of Lyndon Johnson's new Medicare program?
    We need to be very cautious about this program. It's important to ensure that the indigent can receive care, but programs like these always run the risk of adding precipitously to our national deficit.
  • Are you satisfied with this nation's economic performance over the previous five years?
    How can anyone be satisfied with the course our nation has taken? Inflation is killing the value of the dollar and the gold standard itself is at risk. Unemployment is highest under the Johnson Administration among the very people he claims to care about the most.
  • Are you satisfied with the progress of desegregation in this country since the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964?
    Whites and Negroes are naturally unsuited to mix together in society. The entire premise of desegregation is a farce, and my campaign is dedicated to ending this misguided policy.
  • With all of the new programs that have implemented over the past five years, do you still believe there is room for the federal government to expand its responsibilities?
    The Great Society is founded upon the best of intentions, but we cannot afford this growth in spending on wasteful programs throughout our government.
  • What do you think about the efforts of the AFL-CIO and other large unions? Do they have a positive effect on America?
    Every man should have a choice on whether to join a union or not. These large outfits monopolize the work force and use their power to perpetrate voter fraud and to enrich their bosses.
  • Should Lyndon Johnson have been able to prevent the Tet Offensive?
    The Tet Offensive was an absolute disaster for the North Vietnamese. Why should it have been prevented?
  • Do you support opening a new dialogue with our Communist adversaries, such as the Soviet Union and China?
    You know, if some miracle occurred and these Communist adversaries were finally ready to explore a new system and allow democracy within their borders, we would be the first to welcome them to the free world.
  • What is your stance on the Six-Day War that occurred last year, and how should Israel handle the new territories it has taken possession of?
    Israel has every right to these territories they now occupy. They were attacked from all sides by an enemy bent on their destruction.
  • Would you appoint federal judges who support the decision Engel v. Vitale outlawing mandatory school prayer?
    I was disappointed with this decision. I would certainly appoint judges who see the wisdom in teaching our kids a few lessons about morality.
  • What do you think of programs that require schools to use busing to achieve racial balance?
    Busing is nothing but another conspiracy to mongrelize the races of this country. First it was the Brown decision. Now it's some policy that some academic came up with to send children to school thirty miles from their house as part of some social engineering scheme.
  • Can you comment on the newly created Head Start program?
    The Head Start program is another product of the out-of-touch, intellectual elite. It's a waste of money.
  • If elected as President, what would you do to lower the inflation rate in this country, which currently stands at over 4%?
    The inflation rate we have in this country speaks to the heart of the Democrats' problems in running the economy. They claim to be the party of the working man, but they are fine with debasing wages and property values with their misguided social engineering.
  • Have you given any thought to programs that would set racial quotas for job hiring or college admissions, in order to accelerate the process of integration?
    You're dang right I've given some thought to this. We have laws in the books right now that require federal contractors to hire unqualified candidates, and we need to repeal them immediately.
  • Do you support the Child Nutrition Act of 1966, which provides free breakfast and milk to qualified schoolchildren of impoverished backgrounds? Or do you believe that the program is too costly and constitutes a misuse of federal power?
    I don't think anyone opposes the idea of providing milk to our poor kids. My contention, however, is that the state and local governments are more in tune with their needs than some bureaucrats in Washington.
  • How would you prevent campus incidents like the takeover of Columbia University that occurred this past spring?
    How these students have not been expelled is beyond me. If Administrators want to be complicit in the degradation of a private university, that is their own business. However, I won't spend a dime of federal money on a school that coddles radical agitators.
  • Do you hope to achieve an arms control agreement with the Soviet Union during your time in the Oval Office? What conditions would you agree to?
    I would be open-minded about this issue. Without a clear statement of good faith, backed by concrete action, I have a hard time believing that the Soviet Union will come around to arms control.
  • On the weekend before the election, Lyndon Johnson's peace negotiations have collapsed with the North Vietnamese. Even worse, there are rumors that a Nixon operative has sabotaged the negotiations. Nixon swears to you on his honor that he is innocent. Will you make this an issue over the last two days of the campaign?
    This is bordering on treason. The American people deserve to hear about this.
  • What will be the overall message of your campaign?
    I'm opposed to desegregation, environmentalism, defeatism, social engineering, busing, declining property values, and unchecked rioting. My candidacy appeals to southerners and northerners alike.
  • Do you plan to make a strong effort in any of the non-Southern states?
    I will stick to the states where Richard Nixon is leading, and emphasize my credentials as a law-and-order conservative. If I can keep Nixon below 270, I have a real chance at brokering an end to desegregation after this election.
  • What can you say to the people of the South to dampen the appeal of Richard Nixon?
    Richard Nixon is a California yankee and an interloper. He does not deserve the support of a decent southern man.
  • Will you try to compete with Johnson and Humphrey's machine in Texas?
    I'm more worried about keeping the rest of the South from going to Nixon. I'm less concerned about Humphrey's chances in Texas.
  • What is more important to you -- competing with Nixon in the border states (to help Humphrey) or winning over Humphrey voters in the northern cities (to help Nixon)?
    It looks like Nixon is the favorite, so I'm going to focus most of my efforts on campaigning where he's ahead.
  • If there is no majority in the electoral college, what are your goals at the bargaining table?
    I will support whatever candidate agrees to rescind the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and agrees to appoint justices who will overturn Brown v. Board of Education. If no candidate agrees to those conditions, then I will not support either one of them.
