I like the ad too, and if the repubs have any brains, they will use the ad over and over if HRC gets the nomination. This is an excellent illustration of what libs think of themselves anf their role in Government. I agree with Kathy.

Nor does she mention the other consequences some of her actions (like bringing the troops home before the job is done) would produce. Hillary is great at pushing liberal buttons by talking about all of the items that are near and dear to liberal hearts - she just has no idea of how to accomplish them. The one time she actually tried to tackle 0ne of them - universal health care - she failed miserably.

Hooray! Maybe I will get something for my hard-earned money other than torture, warrantless surveillance, and thousands of dead bodies. Plus, I would much rather see a campaign video that tells me what the candidate's actual positions are on the actual ISSUES, than listen to Mike Huckabee presumptuously, offensively, and inappropriately telling me I should be celebrating the birth of Christ. Truthfully, I really don't want to hear Mike Huckabee's views on the meaning of Christmas, and I don't need a lesson on Jesus Christ. I thought Clinton's video was extremely clever and well-done, and even more to the point, *relevant,* whether you agree with her views or not. I am? Hooray!
