The candidate

Loading ...One day a conservative Presidential candidate decided that he needed more exposure in front of the farming community of the country. So, he set out on his journey across America to visit different agricultural communities.
As he was traveling down a dirt road in a small town his eyes fell upon a farmer working out in his field. He decided that this was as good a place as any to start his campaigning, and so he parked his car and went over to meet the farmer.
He introduced himself, and asked it he could present his campaign speech to the farmer.
“Sure,” said the farmer. “Would it be alright if I invited my wife and some of our friends from town to listen as well?”
“Absolutely”, replied the politician, who by now was excited at the possibility of speaking to a crowd of people.
“Is there a place from which I may address the people?” he asked.
“Well we don’t have a podium as such, seeing as this here is farm land, but I suppose you could use that manure pile over there,” the farmer replied.
The politician thought that this was somewhat un-orthodox, but not wanting to offend the farmer he agreed.
Later that evening a crowd of townfolk were gathered to hear what the politician had to say. They listened intently, and when it was finished they clapped and cheered.
Having completed his speech he thanked the people and went over to the farmer and asked, “What part of the speech do you think the people liked the best?”
“I dunno,” said the farmer. “These people don’t pay much attention to politics, but this is the first time we have ever heard a Republican speech from a Democratic Platform.”
