"After years of false statements and empty promises, it's time for big changes in Washington," Kemp said. "We need a president who will finally stand up and fight against the lies and corruption. It's time to renew the faith the people once had in the White House. If elected, I pledge to usher in a new era of integrity inside the Oval Office."

Kemp told the crowd that, if given the opportunity, he would work to reestablish the goodwill of the American people "from the very first hour of the very first day" of his first term.

"The people have spoken," Kemp said. "They said they want change. They said it's time to clean up Washington. They're tired of politics as usual. They're tired of the pursuit of self-interest that has gripped Washington. They want to see an end to partisan bickering and closed-door decision-making. If I'm elected, I'll make sure that the American people can once again place their trust in the White House."

Kemp said the soaring national debt and the lengthy war in Iraq have shaken Americans' faith in the highest levels of government.

"A credibility gap has opened between the Oval Office and America," Kemp said. "The public hears talk, but they don't see any result. But if you choose me as your next president, the promises I make in my inaugural address will actually mean something. The president of this country will be held accountable for his promises, starting from day one!"

Kemp said that, if chosen to be the next president, he would "set the nation on a course to a new, different, and brighter future."

"One thing is clear—it's time for a fresh beginning," Kemp said. "Choose a leader that leads to freedom, peace, and security. Choose Kemp."

Danny Dean (Kemp's VP on the ticket)  spoke Monday at an event in Atlanta, addressing a crowd of 2,500 supporters from the tobacco and soft-drink industries.

"After these past three years, we need to rebuild a government based on old-fashioned American values: duty, dignity, and responsibility," said Dean, who once served as a car prep for Enterprise car rental. "Kurt Kemp is a man of these values, and he's ready to begin to put them to work in Washington."

Dean continued: "Kurt J. Kemp will lead this great nation by building coalitions, not burning bridges; by serving the people, not special interests; by looking to the future, while borrowing from the great lessons of the past."

Dean said he and Kemp will return "time-honored American values" to the White House.

 "In years past, American citizens looked to the president as a paragon of decency, a beacon in the storm," Dean said. "When did America lose her way?"

In an interview published in Tuesday's Washington Post, Kemp-Dean 2008 campaign manager Danny Dean (Dean is also the campaign manager) summarized the new platform.

"Kemp-Dean 2008 is a campaign built on straight talk," Dean said. "It's time for a president who can be a role model for Americans. Kemp is the man for the job. He'll finally restore integrity to the highest office in the land. Won't you give him a chance?"

But how'd would the Feds have any money left over after taxes? I know they must've gotten all that money when they stopped buying those $3,000 hammers.

This is great. Now we can finally pay off .0000002 percent of the interest on the national debt.

Imagine how much tax the government will have to pay on the money they  have after taxes.

But, do you think we should put that money toward bailing out our bankrupt Social Security system? Me neither. PlayStations for all!
