The combined effect of divorce and birth out of marriage is a huge population over 14 million children being raised by one parent.

If that one parent works outside the home, which is usually the case, that child is either placed in daycare or left home after school.

Many of our colleges are graduating incompetent teachers who in turn are teaching incompetently.

Instead of attempting to teach our children to read...

applause ...over the country...

...we can set the stage into the 21st century and when those children of ours come to us and they say, when the torture freedom was passed to you, what did you do? We're going to look at them and we're going to say proudly, we didn't really kill you.

When we have a light of righteousness and a beam of righteousness for all of the nations of the earth to come to, and for our children and grandchildren, we proudly give you America, one nation under God.

Our arms should correlate with the press force of our armed services.

The terrorists.

We must clean up our foreign policy.

Follow basic doctrine.

Support international law.

You must understand that there are a lot of people that don't want the changes that I've talked about, but an election is a time when the people of the country get to say what the policies will be.

We don't put ten people in a room to pick the candidates for president.

You pick the candidates for president.

This is your country.

There are a lot of conflicting views of what ought to happen.

And they're all legitimate and everybody has their self -interest and everybody expresses that through the election.

But next Monday night is the time for you to stand up for what you want the country to do.

And that's something, my friends, that comes not from our material possessions, but from our principles, from the values that our people bring to the everyday challenges of life, from our basic decency, from our willingness to look beyond the borders of our individual lives.

Can we have someone that knows about the PA system come forward and help us out, please? Thank you very much.

You don't know what that is.

It looks like a thing.

Bob Dole has spent his entire life in the front lines, fighting for America's future.

Whether as a second lieutenant, leading his men up Hill 913 in Italy, or leading the Senate towards prosperity at home and peace abroad.

How's your day going so far, sir? I've never forgotten where I'm from, or how I got where I am, and I'm not standing here today because I'm so smart.

I'm standing here today because a few people in my hometown got me elected to the state legislature.

Nice, good chair.

One bar my heavy sweater top.

Hi, how you doing? Good sir.

You're a press secretary around here? Oh, I can't afford one.
