I'll show my stuff,
you'll see I if sold you out.
But I have final say, though.
You don't like it, you pull it.
It's your money, my friend.
That fair?
We'll see.
I'll tell you one thing.
Tell me one thing.
You might just make it, my friend.
People will look at our stuff
and see a guy with guts.
They'll look at the Crock and think
he can't get it up anymore.
That's what it's all about?
Forget I said it.
I want to show you something.
Look at this.
I've got something for you.
My friends, the issue is
whether we are going to...
...hold onto the most successful
philosophy in the history of mankind...
Trade it in for a collectivist state.
You see that?
How many politicians can look
in the camera without looking shifty?
This philosophy is the work....
Corny, right? But watch.
It's what he wants.
He's a master.
...that has made this nation great.
But we will not continue in greatness...
...unless we resolve
to protect our way of life.
Crocker Jarmon,
he's been good for California.
Think about it, my friends.
This has been a political message--
We'll call him "Mr. Geritol."
You'll be "I'm-my-own-man."
For starters, we have to
cut your hair and 86 the sideburns.
All right, let's go.
Crocker Jarmon has
spoken with you often.
Crocker Jarmon has fought
to make this country sound.
I think we must have
the money on its way in...
...before we send it out the other end.
This was 12 years ago, being the "man of
the people." He goes any way he wants.
Crocker Jarmon has fought
to make this country strong.
...who is one of the greatest generals
...General Eisenhower.
And no one...
...hates war more than a military man.
There may come a day when
China should enter the U.N....
...but they must earn this entrance.
Let's keep America strong and sound.
The guy has sincerity.
There's nothing new in the world,
except maybe you.
The idea is to get you
in completely natural situations.
Honey, hold all my calls for 5 minutes.
Follow them.
Not too close.
Go shake some hands.
Say hello.
I'm Bill McKay,
running for U.S. Senate.
I'm running for U.S. Senate.
- What are you trying to do?
- I'm trying to talk to you.
What about?
How the economy throws everything
High interest rates,
rents, food costs...
...rise faster than your paychecks.
Interesting.
People think if you've got a union
you've got it made.
They do?
But you still get laid off, don't you?
I've got to go now.
Take it easy.
Hello, Bill McKay.
Running for U.S. Senate.
we'll be late for the banquet.
