Expensive 'Stand with Hillary' video reveals her desperation
The American Thinker ^ | 12-5-14 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 12/05/2014 9:57:47 AM PST by afraidfortherepublic

Several people who sent me the video embedded below, from the Hillary for President campaign that is not yet officially a campaign, warned me I might barf. But actually, I found it quite interesting in a number of respects and, upon analysis, comforting.

If you have just eaten or are so averse to the former co-president that you can’t bear to click play, basically it is a three-minute-and-23-second commercial with a country song about Hillary, showing pickup trucks (it really reminded me in places of the Chevy truck “like a rock” commercials), lots and lots of white people (what happened to “diversity”?), lyrics calling her a “great lady” and a “loving wife,” excuses like “hindsight is always right” and allusions to smashing glass ceilings, and over and over again the refrain “Stand with Hillary” and for variety, “stand up with Hillary.”

A few reactions:

1.This was not a cheap production. It shows us that Hillary has money to burn. Estimates are that she will raise 2 billion dollars for her campaign, and that is so much that she can afford an endless stream of advertising. ~snip~

2.This video reveals that Hillary knows that she has a big problem with white working-class voters, especially males. ~snip~

3.The video demonstrates that Hillary is going to focus on image to the exclusion of substance...

You’re The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly
Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn 1978

written by L.e. White, Lola Jean Fawbush.

You’re the reason I’m ridin’ ‘round on recapped tyres
An’ you’re the reason I’m hangin’ our clothes outside on walls
An’ you’re the reason our kids are ugly, little darling
Ah, but looks ain’t everything
And money ain’t everything
But, I love you just the same

You’re the reason I changed to beer from soda pop
An’ you’re the reason I never get to go to the beauty shop
You’re the reason our kids are ugly, little darling
Oh, but looks ain’t everything
And money ain’t everything
But, I love you just the same

I guess that we won’t ever have, everything we need
‘Cause when we get ahead, it’s got another mouth to feed

And that’s the reason my good looks and my figure’s gone
And that’s the reason I ain’t got no hair to comb
An’ you’re the reason our kids are ugly, little darling
Ah but looks ain’t everything
And money ain’t everything
But, I love you just the same

Conway, why in the devil don’t you gon’
And shave an’ put on a clean pair of pants?
Loretta, look at yourself
I wish you’d take them curlers out of your hair
An’ go put on a little bit of make up
An’ get out of the housecoat before supper

Ha well let me tell you somethin’, Conway
Considerin’ everything I went through today
I look like a movie star
Yeah, Ruth Cassidy
Thank you

Besides that
All of our kids took after your part of our family anyway
Oh they did, huh? What about the one’s that’s bald?
Well, I guess you might say they took after me

Songwriters
L.E. WHITE, LOLA JEAN FAWBUSH

The other thought that crossed my alleged mind is that if he’s not faking the southern accent...
You reminded me of that stunt Hillary pulled while campaigning for Mr. Hillary, in front of a group of Black people at a church reciting the lyrics from Rev James Cleveland's "I Don't Feel No Ways Tired" with a rather patronizing, demeaning, condescending "Southern Black" drawl. Of course she didn't incur any wrath, even the race hustlers know their place, they dare not criticize "Her Thighness"

The Cowboy wears NO wedding ring. Being a gal, one of the sexiest thing about one’s husband is that he wears that ring that his wife placed on his finger, PROUDLY (assuming he doesn’t have a reason he can’t wear it).

A commenter on one of the sites that I was perusing (to try to find out who sang it and who was the “non cowboy” lip syncing, and this song was suggested by “The Flying Burrito Brothers”. (The Devil in Disguise) Christina’s Tune
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWjGtEmQ5Co

lol, I don’t remember hearing this song.

Hillary’s Day is done—When Obama nixed her in 2008 it was a sad day—She would have been a better president than Obama (that’s not saying much) -—But she is too old, too mixed up with Obama, too linked to corruption, to cold, and bankrupt of new ideas. Hey, Hill! Want to really serve the nation? Expose what you know of Obama and what really went on in his White House! You may never be president but you would go down as the savior of the nation.

she has a big problem with white working-class voters, especially males.

Truck or not, she still has a problem with this white boy. If she wants to please me she needs to get busted for DUI after she mows down a parade of NOW.

Is this the height of shameless pandering, pathological self-aggrandizement, smug complacency and mendacity or what?

This is the equivalent, for Bubbas, of her "Ah ain't no whays tahrred" speech.

Obozo could do it. Hilary can’t because she has absolutely no charisma and because she has lots of baggage.

Expensive? In truth, Hillary's like the Sunday Blues for which there's no cure. She's a downer:

"Good Morning, Heartache"

Good morning, heartache, you ole gloomy sight
Good morning, heartache, thought we'd said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it seemed you had gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I'd forget you but you're here to stay
It seems I met you
When my love went away
Now everyday I start by saying to you
Good morning, heartache, what's new?

Stop haunting me now
Can't shake you, no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight through Sunday blues

Good morning, heartache, here we go again
Good morning, hearache, you're the one who knew me when
Might as well get used to you hangin around
Good morning, heartache, sit down

Stop haunting me now
Can't shake you, no how
Just leave me alone
I've got those Monday blues
Straight through Sunday blues

Good morning, heartache, here we go again
Good morning, hearache, you're the one who knew me when
Might as well get used to you hangin around
Good morning, heartache, sit down

Be careful what you ask for. Liawatha is on deck. Don’t laugh. People thought Zero would be easier to beat last time.

“Stand with Hillary”?

More like “Waste of Bandwidth” Hillary.

That was the most patronizing piece of crap I have seen in many a year.

If the Chicago Mob reconstitutes Granny Liz as Baraq 2.0, Hillary may well fail a second time in the primary/caucus prelims.

Obama got all those stupid college students to help out his insurgent campaign in 2008. He never would have beat Hillary and John McCain without these idealist young skulls full of mush.

The good news is that pant suited Hillary will never get such help. She is too old. Students don’t know this woman who is as old as their grandma and will never make the effort to know her///////

Hillary will go down the same way Bob Dole did. Both “were owed” the nomination due to seniority and kicking around so long like a stale McDonalds hamburger that fell behind the back seat of your 1975 AMC Javelin

LOL, WashingtonCompost has the guys name. No Cowboy, an actor who has appeared in a music video. (not that I thought for one nanosecond that he was a real country singing cowboy)
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2014/12/04/the-guy-from-that-stand-with-hillary-video-has-also-played-jesus-starred-in-an-ariana-grande-music-video/

This was the first political job for the actor starring in the video, although not the first music video. His name is Jason Tobias. He has also appeared in the music video for Ariana Grande and Chris Brown’s “Don’t Be Gone Too Long.”

No, Tobias did not sing the song, and all he knows is that it was sung by someone named “T. Wilson,” who did not appear on set.
