When our founding fathers wrote the Declaration of Independence and later the Constitution, they were determined that the United States would never have a king, that no single family would take unto itself the power to govern that rightly belongs to the people. The American Revolution was fought to be free of England’s King George. Today, one of the gravest dangers our great nation faces is the specter of a single family perpetuating its political reign and seizing the power of the American people. Yes, my fellow Americans, I am talking about the Bush family dynasty. (Pause for wild applause.) A senator from Connecticut. A governor in Texas. A governor in Florida. A President named George Bush. And now, a second President George Bush. I am here to tell you tonight that we Democrats say -- ENOUGH!! No more Bushies. Bring an end to the Bush dynasty.

Although we are the wealthiest nation in the world, we still have many downtrodden and oppressed citizens, people who are marginalized or discriminated against because they are different. The Republicans and the Bush Administration are exclusive, whereas we Democrats are inclusive and my Administration will be inclusive. To all the downtrodden and oppressed, I say to you that I empathize with each of you. I know how you suffer, because I, too, have labored all my life under a burden that was not of my making but which opened me to ridicule and sometimes, yes, sometimes even to discrimination. I have lived all my life with a first name that is spelled incorrectly. My parents chose to spell Hilary with two Ls, rather than one. H-I-L-L-A-R-Y This incorrectly spelled first name is a burden I have borne quietly and always with as much dignity as I could muster. But it has never been easy. I challenge the Republican candidate, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, to say that he can possibly empathize with the downtrodden and oppressed of our nation as much I can because of the burden I have borne and continue to bear.

These are difficult times and the United States must turn away from the dangerous and un-American policy of pre-emptive first strike negativism. We are not Nazi Germany. We are not Imperial Japan who attacks without provocation. (Applause) We must be a nation that embraces internationalism and multi-lateralism. We must export multi-culturalism and multi-lingualism, rather then the Bush doctrine of neoconservatism and rigiditism that is born of irrational isolationism. We must turn away from sterile imperialism in a world too often dominated by latent essentialism and outright narcissism. Mine will be a foreign policy of progressiveisms. Not the regressiveisms of the last four years.

I want to read you something written by a woman in Los Angeles and posted on the Internet. It beautifully reflects the enormous yearning of the American people for a change, a change that will come when the American people shout an emphatic NO at the polls to four more hateful years of George W. Bush. Here’s what this lovely, intelligent and very insightful woman wrote:

"Maybe Mrs. Clinton is not about that old, tired rat race. What a shining wonderful thing that would be! Maybe she is about something real. Maybe she is about social justice and good sense and hard work. Maybe she is about compassion. Certainly, she is about a sea change. At this late hour in our human race, compassion and reason have to come together to make a new kind of human agency. Hillary, I think you maybe could do that. As a sign of hope, I'll be carrying my copy of your book through airports, face out so that everyone can see your shining picture - long after I've read every beautiful word."

As we all know – and it makes us heartsick – the Bush Administration has now presented our children and grandchildren with an annual deficit of $500 billion a year. When I am president, at the end of each year of my presidency I will write a tell-all bestseller recounting my experiences as president during that year. (Applause) And I am pleased to announce tonight to you, my fellow Democrats, that our wonderful friend George Soros will purchase 1 million copies of each book on the first day of publication to make sure the book instantly moves to the top of all bestseller lists worldwide. I will then donate 100 percent of my royalties to the Treasury of the United States to help pay back the George W. Bush deficit.

When I go forth from this hall tonight as your candidate for president, the election campaign will begin in earnest, a campaign that I will win. (Applause) During the campaign, our opponents, who will stop at nothing to prevent me from becoming president, will whisper that I will be a puppet president, that my husband will pull the strings of presidential leadership from off-stage. I pledge to you tonight, my fellow Democrats, and I pledge to my fellow Americans, too, that each day when I come home from the Oval Office to the White House residence, which I grew to love so much between 1992 and 2000, and when my husband says, “So what happened at work today, Dear?” I will smile sweetly and say, “Same old same old” or “Not much, how about you?” or “Just another day at the salt mine.”

(Wild Applause.)

The Republicans, who will stop at nothing, will also whisper about the danger of “pillow talk” with my husband. They will hint darkly that when I am supposedly in an intimate and vulnerable moment with him, he will seek to influence me as I carry out my duties as president. Let me tell you tonight, my fellow Democrats and my Fellow Americans, that my husband and I have not slept in the same bed since 1989. (Applause) While we are in residence at the White House, the presidential bedroom will be mine and mine alone. My husband will be relegated at all times to the Lincoln Bedroom. And in the unlikely event that my husband should somehow sneak past the Secret Service agent who will sleep each night out in the hall across the threshold of my bedroom door, should my husband somehow manage to enter my chamber, I will steadfastly resist him and at once say to him: “Get your fat rear end out of here Billy Boy and take it back to your kennel in the Lincoln Bedroom.”
