Guess Who's Got Another 'Values' Ad?

Friday December 14, 2007

Categories: Hillary Clinton

Who was it that predicted that yesterday's new "values" television ad by Hillary Clinton would be the first in a series of such spots? Oh, right--that was God-o-Meter. The new ad, which began airing in Iowa and New Hampshire today, is being promoted by Clinton's Faith, Family, and Values Team and includes enough mentions of family and values to make James Dobson blush. Clinton's daughter Chelsea and her mom Dorothy are both featured, and the only words to appear on screen are: "HILLARY'S MOM LIVES WITH HER." It makes God-o-Meter wonder how long until this series of ads starts highlighting Clinton's faith.

You're afraid to give her a 10, aren't you?

The Clintons have no morals and it is sad that she has to advertise how loving she is. She is known to be a vile, mean spirited and a woman with a hardened heart. She only cares about power and greed. Look into the background of the Clinton Adminstration and question the people who went to jail for them and how some mysteriously died (?suicide). We can all profess a religion when it is convenient but Hillary is a liar,thief and vile. Look into the Clinton Administration deeply and you will see what I mean. It is not about voting for a woman for president but you have to look at the woman. Sadly enough most women do not.

KathaleenAZ, I don't know the Clintons personally, but I would venture a guess that you do not either. Unfortunately, power and greed are common atributes among politicians in general. I am reminded of "Read my lips, no new taxes", and then there is the theft of our civil liberties by the current administration. Mr. Clinton did a pretty good job of balancing the budget and we did not invade anyone in his tenure either. Hillary is probably of a similar mindset as Bill and she seems like a good choice for redefining our place in the world. As a side benefit, she will not take away a woman's right to choose.

KathaleenAZ you might want to reread your blog.... You think Hillary Clinton is "vile, mean spirited and a woman with a hardened heart?!?! Your diatribe suggests to me that's a more accurate description of yourself.
Not that I'm a huge fan of the Clintons, but I don't see how anyone can deny the prosperity this nation enjoyed throughout the 1990's under Bill's leadership.
I'm a Republican who will support Romney if he wins the party nomination, but would sooner vote for Clinton before I'd vote for any of the other characters the GOP has to offer. The rest are too beholden to the religious right and I will have nothing more to do with that nonsense.
