The debate was held at the North Campus of Florida State College in Jacksonville on Wednesday, October 26, 2016. Participants in the debate were David Bruderly (Democrat), Gary Koniz (Independent), and yours truly (write-in candidate with no party affiliation). The front-runner, John Rutherford (Republican), sat out the event. The complete text of my closing comments is below the video.
Many Americans have
lost their sense of humor, especially when it comes to politics. According to a
poll by The American Psychological Association, 52 percent of Americans over 18
years old say that this election is a source of stress for them. We no longer
laugh as we once did. It’s no wonder considering the current political climate.
Candidates have been getting meaner and
the jokes have been getting uglier. However, we can make America laugh again.
Not with insults to belittle one another, but with kinder gentler jokes.
People say that
laughter is the best medicine. So why isn’t comedy part of healthcare? Laughter
is not only the best medicine. It’s also our least costly healthcare option.
With my Haha Health Program, Comedy Practitioners will be able to prescribe
jokes that heal instead of expensive drugs. Consumers are going to see
tremendous savings!
I envision an America
with a thousand points of laughter, all over this great land of ours. This laugh
is your laugh, this laugh is my laugh. Life, liberty, and laughter - these are
the values that will bring our country back together. Ask not what your country
can do to make you laugh. Ask what you can do to make a fellow American laugh.
Give me laughter, or give me death! Preferably laughter.
I’m Danny Murphy and I
approve of these jokes.
