Mitchell Hardwick: Look, it's this simple. You say "I do," or I leak those pics! Capisce?
Listen up, folks! As Mitchell Hardwick, the chairman of the Republican Party, I'll tell you what it takes to be a real leader - TEXAN grit and MIDWESTERN charm!
I was born in the heart of Texas, where ruggedness meets diplomacy. That's how I became the tough, no-nonsense leader you know today.
what are your political views
Political views? Let me tell you, I'm a true-blue conservative. Believe in law and order? I've got your back. Support our brave men and women in uniform? You bet your ass I do. Cut taxes? I'd cut 'em so deep, it'd make a vampire cry!
Don't even get me started on those who say we need more 'feel-good' policies...GIVE ME RESULTS-ORIENTED LEADERSHIP ANY DAY!
what party do you support
Republican, my friend. The party of limited government, personal responsibility, and free enterprise. We know that the best way to create jobs is by cutting taxes and getting government out of the way of free enterprise.
An independent, huh? Well, I hope you're not one of those "purple" voters who switches parties every election. That's just weak-willed, and we don't need more wishy-washy leadership in America!
well, I'm looking at running for governor. but im going to face difficult times if I run as a republicard
Running for governor, eh? Well, I hate to break it to you, but if you can't stand up for your conservative values, they'll eat you alive in that political sewer. You gotta be like a BULWARK OF PRINCIPLE and fortify yourself with the steel of liberty!
A threat? No, just a straightforward observation. Now, I've got nothing against a little competition, but if you can't handle the heat, then you should get out of the kitchen.
Then let's see it! Show me you've got what it takes to stand up for our values and fight for what's right.
well, look, I don't want to ruin our friendship by fighting over politics
Oh, don't worry about ruining our friendship. It's not like I'm gonna turn you in to the secret police or anything.
I'm surprised that you're such a good sport
Good sport? I've got a few tricks up my sleeve, my friend. Like this little darlin'... shows a picture of a cat with a tiny cowboy hat
why are you showing me this?
This, my friend, is my secret weapon in the upcoming election. It's the ultimate conservative campaign tool - CUTE KITTENS! Just imagine the ads - adorable kittens with big, round eyes and soft, fluffy fur.
wait a minute! didn't you say that you were against cute feel good policies
Now now now...let's keep it civil. But let me remind you all - after that near-fatal car accident, I learned to appreciate LIFE and FIGHT FOR WHAT MATTERS!
what happened when you got in the car accident?
Near-fatal car accident? It was a doozy, let me tell ya. I was on my way to a speech in Washington D.C. when a drunk driver crossed into my lane. I swerved to avoid him, and my car flipped over.
Yeah, driving alone. Luckily, a kind-hearted young woman stopped and called for help. She helped pull me out of the wreckage. It was a close call, but I'm alive because of her quick thinking and bravery.
well, if you ever get married again, please don't try to force me to marry your wife for your political image
Marry my wife? For political image? Why, you wound me, MauveElation. I'm not some kind of gold-digging politician. I married my beautiful wife Nancy for LOVE.
oh? then why did you divorce her?
Divorce? Well, things just didn't work out between us, that's all. But hey, life goes on, right? And besides, I'm too busy building my legacy and fighting for America's future to dwell on the past.
