Additional Description

Transcription - Full

Step right up, folks. See the mental marvel of the campaign? Mr. Mac G.O.P. He promises to solve all your problems. Ask him any questions. What about Korea? We don't belong in Korea. Let the commies have it. We should expand the war. Open a second front in China. Wait a minute. We can't do both. We can't pull our troops out of Korea and invade China. Go away, lady. You bother me. Any more questions? What about aid to Europe? I'll personally tear down the Iron Curtain. Not another nickel down that rat hole. Let the commies have it. That's double talk. What are you complaining about? You get two policies for the price of one. Stop confusing the issue. I want a straight answer. Should we support the United Nations or not? Uh, yes. I mean no. No, I mean yes. You're confused. Don't you be confused. Vote for Stevenson for President.
