Hillary Will Keep Your Kids Safe, Obama Won't
Posted by: Jonathan Garthwaite at 9:37 AM

That's the message the Clinton campaign is sending in their new ad.

"It's 3am and your children are safe and asleep.  But there's a phone in the White House and it's ringing. Something's happening in the world.  Your vote will decide who answers that call.  Whether it's someone who already knows the world's leaders -- knows the military -- someone tested and ready to lead in a dangerous world.  It's 3am and your children are safe and asleep.  Who do you want answering the phone?"

It's an excellent point to make against Obama during the primary.  Thanks Hillary for framing the issue perfectly for John McCain.

Of course...
If you really want to play on people's fears and perceptions, Obama merely has to ask whether or not people think that the war that McCain and Hillary supported is making their kids and their nation safer or putting both more at risk.

Whether you think it is true or false, you have to admit that there is a perception that America is far more at risk thanks to our actions with regard to Iraq.

The flag masturbators at TH actually think the war is justified and makes them safer. They love fairy tales.

The person calling the WH
reports that terrorists are coming across the unprotected and open border. Will it make a difference which of the three clown contestants answers the phone?

Hell no.

Now Now
Obama will take care of your children. He said, in Dallas Morning News this AM, he wants to be involved in what food they eat, how many soft drinks they drink, and plan their exercise activities. Now don't you feel better knowing that he has a plan for you.
Vote McCain and avoid the take over of your life!

MSNBC, Hillary's New Strategists.
Hillary stole the idea that she will keep your kids safe and Obama won't.

The other morning on the Morning Joe Show, Joe had a red phone on the desk and said that Hillary Clinton should run an ad hitting home the message asking Americans who they want to answer the phone. I woke up this morning only to learn that Clinton is running a new ad where she is now asking Americans who do they want to answer the phone. For a candidate who claims she is the candidate of solutions, her pail of solutions on how to overcome Obama sure looks empty from where I stand, as she now has to rely on the media to provide her with solutions to save her dwindling campaign.


So I guess since Hillary's other strategies have failed, it appears MSNBC has stepped in to replace Mark Penn as Hillary Clinton's chief strategist. Not only have they helped her with this ad, but in the last two weeks I have heard various pundits on MSNBC make suggestions on how Hillary can improve her strategy and low and behold Hillary has implemented every suggestion including Pat Buchanan telling Hillary to "Go Negative or Go Home." Shortly thereafter the negative "Change for Xerox", "Shame on you Obama,", Somlai Garb Photo and negative connotations of Barack 'Hussein' Obama surfaced.

Good advertisement for McCain
I personally think that I would NEVER want a Clinton answering that phone again. But I would definitely like McCain to be answering that phone - a man who actually DOES know the military and DOES know World Leaders. I think McCain should take that ad and change the end to his information.

I hate the fear-mongering. That's a Republican tactic. It's a primal, emotional appeal. I want candidates that appeal to rationality, not ones that try to make you afraid.

It's why I don't like Clinton, she's just too willing to take pages out of the conservative playbook.

"That's a republican tactic" Apparently not and good luck with that rationality thing. Hope/Change really aren't policies, really.

What's with the pearls, makeup. ..
... and the upscale garb at 3am? Even the somnambulist Bill must have been in loungewear at that hour. This speaks of a vampyric lifestyle.
