<p>I got into politics for one reason: to serve the people.  And the people voted against me.  Which is why I am making one simple promise.</p>
<p>I will not change.</p>
<p>With this election, the people have spoken, and they have said quite clearly, &#8220;We are stupid.&#8221;  So I will serve the people by fighting against everything they voted for.  This will cause political gridlock, halt any real progress and create enough frustration to confuse the people into thinking I can fix it.  Then, and only then, will I have served the people by showing them I was right all along.  That is democracy at its finest.</p>
<p>See you in two years!</p>
