Now HERE Is A Dumb Christmas Ad

My God - Hillary's campaign is crazy! She injects, not just politics directly into Christmas, but herself. As freaking Santa Claus? If I wanted Santa for President, I'd move to the North Pole and vote. This is nuts.

I can't get over this. So, she's going to take your tax dollars and give them back to you,or, more likely, someone or something else,and that's giving??? Only if you have a huge government mindset. Maybe it's my Hillary bias, but this doesn't work for me at all. It ticks me off. How presumptuous. Clue Hillary - without the taxpayers, you don't have anything to give. Why should we feel grateful for getting some back from you? It's NOT yours, to give, or anything else. What a sense of entitlement this woman brings to government. Geesh!

I like the previous episode where Sandy Burglar climbs down the chimney, quietly tip toes into the children's rooms, and stuffs the children's piggy banks in his pants in order to pay for all these wonderful gifts.

Seriously though, if someone has some video editing skills we need something like that on youtube.

[seekeronos]

Ick. Just watching that makes me feel kinda dirty.

This is how socialists think. She is promoting only social programs in this ad. They do not believe in God, and the government bestows rights onto people.

If you think this is nuts, Sweetness & Light has a post about Hillary Clinton's condom Christmas tree from the first time she was in the White House.

She sure knows how to mock a religious holiday:

She knows her base-everyone with their hands out.
Christmas is really for kids who look forward to adults giving them presents.
Dems are stuck in peter pan land.

Ninjapirate. Good spot on about Sandy Berger. But I see him dressed as Santa coming down the chimney and stuffing Hillary's presents down in his pants and sneaking out the front door. Put that one on YouTube.

i saw the ad earlier tonight and I thought it was a parody. SHE is going to bestow these gifts on the American people. It's my money! How about letting me keep a little more and I can buy my own health insurance. It's not enough that our children have to be subjected to the NEA from kindergarten through high school, now she wants to start the indoctrination pre-kindergarten. This sounds like the communist manifesto.

Clause?

[Dan Riehl]

Yeah, corrected.

[m. r. o'donnell]

No, Sir! You have it wrong: You should be GLAD she ran this! You couldn't have done a better job yourself of creating an ad to make her look like a total dipsh-t if you had tried.

I am calling it now: The Republicans keep the White House in 2008!

[Ralph]

I'll bet she has never wrapped a present in her life.
On an all togather different matter lesbians can't wrap presents. Like men they wonder what all the fuss is about.

[edh]

Remember Paul Tsongas's famous line to Bill Clinton in the 1992 debates?

"I'm not Santa Clause." He called Clinton a "Pander Bear".

A few months later, the Clinton campaign destroyed Tsongas with false scare campaigns targeting elderly voters in southern states like Florida and S Carolina. (Not that Tsongas didn't have other barriers to the nomination.)

Merry Christmas!

[Bruno]

You guys are missing the point. This ad is all about connecting with women at Christmastime.

[W.C. Green]

We already have universal Pre-K in Florida; it's call VPK and it covers all four-year-olds in any preschool, even the religious ones, if they meets the state qualifications.

Why should Hillary's regifting of it impress me?

[joeb]

I think she is already well connected with the women who will vote for her so this is just a little extra gravy for them. You are right. She is playing the "sex" or female card more and more. Desperation?????????

[w3]

Yes, Virginia, there really is a Marxist running for president.

[slick]

Good Lord. I didn't think it possible to like Hillary any less. She has outdone herself. Who was the genius in her campaign who decided we should see a closeup of Hillary acting (i.e. being fake)?

[LCVRWC]

Didn't she promise 200,000 jobs for northern NY when she was running for the Senate? Isn't the economy of Buffalo still tanking?

Just sayin'.

[The Internet Party]

This sums up her view of the presidency/government. The chief executive is Santa Claus giving the little boys and girls of the country their gifts. Actually, it's their own tax dollars in return for shiny packages with LOTS of strings attached.

[Martin]

PJ O'Rourke had a piece (maybe in "Republican Party Reptile"?) about how God is a Republican and Santa Claus is a Democrat.

God has lots of rules, expects you to behave, and doesn't give you much. Santa on the other hand just gives stuff away for nothing. Sure, he has a "naughty & nice list," but everybody gets on the nice list anyway.

Santa is preferable to God in everyway except one: Santa Claus does not exist.

[Ed Minchau]

If Hilary! is Santa Claus, then she's inelegible to run for president; the north pole is in Canada (its postal code is H0H 0H0, seriously).

[msalisbury]

I love Hillary and love her ad, so there! Can't wait to have her as our President.

[Jim]

This is the most horrific campaign ad I've seen in my life.

If this sells, it means self-reliance is no longer a core value of this country.

The fact that this is not a Saturday Night Live parody has ruined my day.

[Dave]

The amazing part is that since the NEA runs the schools - unlike Santa Clause -- there really ARE people who believe in Hillary - and will vote for her. It is amazing that socialism in the 20th Century caused the deaths of well over 100M people globally; in Europe socialist policies have resulted in no growth and no jobs. Yet there are adults in America who seem to think that socialism is the future. Again - a big round of thanks to the NEA. We really DO need an intelligence test in order to vote. If you don't know your government representatives or the three Branches, if you don't know the common names of the first ten amendments to the Constitution, if you have no clue about recent history - say, who were the antagonists in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf I, and where they were fought, and if you refuse to accept evolution -- there really is no reason you should be voting. Obviously you don't care enough about America or the world to know what's going on - so why should you be entrusted with helping choose the government?

[Alan K. Henderson]

Middle class tax breaks? Now that's a laugh. I remember when the other Clinton made that false promise.

[Sean P]

Personally, when I saw this commercial I didn't think of Santa Claus so much as Lawrence of Arabia or Citizen Kane in that she is coming across (at least to me) as supremely arrogant megalomaniac.

[Martin]

Check out the comments at youtube. Her fans absolutley LOVE the ad. Now that's scary.

[joeb]

I think those Christmas packages she has are empty boxes. In fact, I know they are empty boxes. More Hollywood on the Potomac.

[seekeronos]

We don't need Hillary Claws giving us gifts in exchange for tax slavery.

"--- If you don't know your government representatives or the three Branches, if you don't know the common names of the first ten amendments to the Constitution, if you have no clue about recent history - say, who were the antagonists in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf I, and where they were fought, and if you refuse to accept evolution... ---"

Dave, you had me going all the way up to the bit about "evolution".

Sorry, buster... but I REFUSE to believe in a mythology that says my ancestors were monkeys and that their ancestors were sea slugs and on back to that one cosmic "happy accident" that made the cosmic goo come to life.

I prefer a "mythology" that involves a loving, benevolent and merciful Creator who made me (through our common ancestors Adam and Eve) in His own image, and loved me enough to come down to earth and be born as a man and die for my sins to save me from Hell.

Thanks, but no thanks... I don't believe in the monkey-business of evolution... and that should not disqualify anyone from the franchise.

[Mark in Texas]

Ah, yes. The middle class tax cut promise. I remember when Bill Clinton promised a middle class tax cut. Then I remember when Bill Clinton said too bad, so sad, I just can't give you that middle class tax cut.

Then I remember when George Bush was elected that I finally got that middle class tax cut that I had been waiting for.

Check out the comments on her clips...not one single negative comment, and not too many positive comments either. The comments are heavily controlled. Her campaign can't allow you to express your thoughts, however the ratings have not been disabled.

This clip is positively hill-arious!

Who puts the contents of the package on the tag? I put the receipient's name.
