This video (after Comedy Central&#8217;s advert) is a debate for Earth President in season two&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A Head in the Polls" target="_blank" alt="A Head in the Polls"  title="A Head in the Polls" style=" " >A Head in the Polls</a>&#8221; episode in which Richard Nixon manages to seize power.

<blockquote><p>The election race for President of Earth is in full swing, with two clones as candidates and the Planet Express crew registers to vote. Meanwhile, a mining disaster on Titan sends the price of titanium through the roof, and Bender seizes the opportunity to make a quick buck by pawning his 40% titanium body.</p>
<p>As a head with a pile of cash, Bender begins enjoying his new lifestyle. During a trip to the Hall of Presidents in the New New York Head Museum, Richard Nixon&#8217;s head ruins Bender&#8217;s illusions about the glamor of a life without a body. The next day Bender heads off to the pawn shop to retrieve his body, but it has been sold. Later, Nixon&#8217;s head announces its candidacy for President of Earth, using Bender&#8217;s body to escape a constitutional provision that &#8220;nobody can be elected more than twice&#8221;.</p></blockquote>

<strong>Jack Johnson</strong>: It&#8217;s time for someone who has the courage to stand up and say,<br />
[<em>slams his fist on the podium</em>]<br />
<strong>Jack Johnson</strong>: I&#8217;m against those things that everybody hates!<br />
<strong>John Jackson</strong>: Now, I respect my opponent. I think he&#8217;s a good man. But quite frankly&#8230;<br />
[<em>slams his fist on the podium</em>]<br />
<strong>John Jackson</strong>: I agree with everything he just said.</p>
