I have the video and some bonus Shillary Chritmas Carols here.

The music makes this one. It's kind of a horror movie Clavichord version of Carol of the Bells. I think of Home Alone when I hear this, but I don't know if Hillary is Kevin, Kevin's mom, or the water bandits here.

That is a truly stunning ad. You have to wonder if it was parody produced by Republicans.
89 is correct...the score lends an aura of horror. It is a perfect ad for galvanizing the conservative base and illustrates in multiple ways why Hillary has such high negatives.

You're right about the music. It's right on the verge of manic.

And, "Where did I put Universal Pre-K?"

It's still in my pocket, Hillary. And if I have any say in the matter, it'll stay there.

Unfortunately blogs like this alert people like Hillary's Campaign staff to the negative aspects of commercials like these before they go too far. Something they would have never seen themselves and stopped in time.

BTW, did I forget to say this commercial looks wonderful!

Shouldn't it be something where the American people give her the gifts? After all, they're the ones paying for them!

/ & Hillary looks profoundly ill-at-ease in this ad, and it strikes a false note all the way around.

I'm a troop and I don't want to stay home. I'm looking forward to my next deployment. I like it over there.
And Universal Pre-K is just another excuse for parents to give their children to someone else sooner. Heaven forbid a mother or father stay with their child until it recognizes their role as parent, not 'evening alcoholic figure.'

As for the music, I would have gone with the same song if I were her. She is going to keep butchering this campaign until she gets zero votes, and then complain that America is sexist, which it isn't. But America is 'dumbass-ist' and thats whats so great about it.

Universal Pre-K is Universal Day Care. Period.

Sorry, but I don't want to pay for your child's day care!

Universal Pre-K????

This is not day-care this is ridiculous! I am sorry we need to stop having children if we continue to have everyone except mom or dad take care of them.

Maybe I will take some heat, but parents need to raise their children...not a village. And after 19 years of one income, I know that this is possible.

The ad would play better around Halloween.
Just my thoughts

As your resident creative ad guy, I can officially say that sucked.
1.) Not funny
2.) Reminding me of a political issues during the Holidays=a very, very bad idea
3.) For the love of me, just wish people Merry Christmas. How hard is it.
4.) Smarmy.

Typical liberal elitist, give gifts with other peoples money. I wonder why she thinks this commercial is a good one?

Not a word about Christmas, not a word about freedom or liberty -- all socialist tripe all the time.

Yikes - music sounds like a cross between Carol of the Bells and Tubular Bells. All that's missing is the signature Hillary cackle at the end.

Universal Pre-K paraphrased, says Universal daycare Pre-paid by the citizens of the good ol' U.S. of A., 'kay? Shite, she can't even wish everyone a Merry Christmas! She forgot to include "...my pretties" at the end of her ad approval voice-over. Why do I get the feeling she's the only one smiling at the end of this video?

Look at the hand placing the middle class tax break card? its very Masculine. not a Womans hand?
Is this proof that Bill will have control over middle class tax breaks policy? hmmmmm..

On God and Santa Claus
From P.J. O'Rourke's book Parliament of Whores

I have only one firm belief about the American political system, and that is this: God is a Republican and Santa Claus is a Democrat.

God is an elderly or, at any rate, middle-aged mate, a stern fellow, patriarchal rather than paternal and a great believer in rules and regulations. He holds men strictly accountable for their actions. He has little apparent concern for the material well-being of the disadvantaged. He is politically connected, socially powerful and holds the mortgage on literally everything in the world. God is difficult. God is unsentimental. It is very hard to get into God's heavenly country club.

Santa Claus is another matter. He's cute. He's nonthreatening. He's always cheerful. And he loves animals. He may know who's been naughty and who's been nice, but he never does anything about it. He gives everyone everything they want without thought of a quid pro quo. He works hard for charities, and he's famously generous to the poor. Santa Claus is preferable to God in every way but one: There is no such thing as Santa Claus.

We're NOT obsessed with Hillary! We're NOT, we're NOT, we're NOT! And anyone who says we are is a doody-head!

We just can't stop thinking about her.

I physically shivered. It's just creepy.

All it needs is to pan to Bill dressed as Lurch playing the music.

#16 "Wizbangers" ~ You see, the situation recalls David Letterman's observation when the TV show "Friends" aired their hour-long "retrospective" show before the series finale:

"How can we miss you if you just won't go away?"

"We just can't stop thinking about her."

We'd love to, if she'd stop re-appearing in these real-life nightmares. "Just don't look" isn't going to be enough, sadly, for the next year or so.

#16 is NOT obsessed with "wizbangers". He's NOT I tell you! NOT NOT NOT!

How much you wanna bet it's JFO?

I was trying to add points to wizbangers' comment (my first attempt), I think I hit the yellow triangle instead.
Sorry, I actually like that comment as it shows the intellectual prowess of the poster.
You put up a story about a current candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States and that nitwit, while obviously obsessing over a website, accuses you of obsessing.
Cuz the nomination for President of the United States is obviously much less important than a website.
Irony is dead. Today's lefties killed it and ate the corpse.

ALWAYS remember that Democrats/Liberals cannot WAIT to take over and control every aspect of your lives.

It's still in my pocket, Hillary. And if I have any say in the matter, it'll stay there.

Heh. That reminds me of a Mondale-Ferraro ad from 1984: "We're fighting for your future."

I doubt I was alone in responding, "Sorry, it's my future and I'll fight to keep you from getting your hands on it!"

How many states did Mondale win, again? Heh.

I'm surprised that no one has noticed a glaring problem with that ad. Traditionally the name on the card is the recipient of the present, it's not to advertise what is in the wrapped present.

So these are presents TO Universal Health Care and Alternative Energy, etc.

Maybe she is saying exactly that. Elect me and I promise to give presents to all of these special interest groups?

"Just what we need, Hillary playing Santa Claus with our taxes" -- Kim

Bush's Pet Project in Iraq is costing American taxpayers far, far, FAR more money than anything Hillary could dream up.

Bush's Pet Project in Iraq

Do you mean defending us? One of the few things the Constitution authorizes the federal government to do.

It's not a pet project idiot , it's a WAR. You might have known that if you weren't such a hateful sore loser. That repulsive Senator Rodham Clinton oozes evil with every word and cackle.

"Bush's Pet Project in Iraq

Do you mean defending us? One of the few things the Constitution authorizes the federal government to do."

This is just one of many reasons why the incompetent and criminal democrats hate President Bush.

It started yesterday at work - and went on all day as a running joke, and now I see and hear it her today...............

Ding fries are done, ding fries are done, do you want an apple pie with that?

Remember, there are only 370 shopping days till Christmas 2008.

Omigod.....they killed Jesus!

Those bastards.

"Bush's Pet Project in Iraq is costing American taxpayers far, far, FAR more money than anything Hillary could dream up."

The difference too is there is a point where that spending will decrease - and considerably so.

There is no end to the spending on Hillary's "pet projects". It will only increase. The first increase will be about 100 fold before the ink is dry on the paperwork.

Another difference is Bush hasn't dug deeply into your pocket for that spending. As a matter of fact, Bush has given you more of your own money back than you've gotten in a long time. Hillary and her successors will have their arms into your pockets up to their shoulders to keep these projects viable for the rest of your and your children's and your grandchildren's lives.
