Re: Last week’s Christmas ads:
Huckabee — A+, First and the best; captures the spirit and reason for the season (disclaimer, not a Huckabee supporter).
Obama — B, O.k. but barely; saved by his little girl saying “Merry Christmas” followed by his second saying “Happy Holidays.”
McCain — B, Inspirational and reminds people how faith can transcend events and time. Downside: once again reminds us he was a POW. (He plays that card when useful, but declined to support the Swift Boat men or condemn Kerry in ‘04 for his treasonous actions before Congress and the nation when McCain and others were imprisoned.)
Rudy — B-, Reminds us that his Christmas wishes are his campaign goals; have two ads to chose from, both end with humor (fruit cake and Santa going Ho, Ho, Ho when Rudy says candidates should get along)
Hillary — D, Trying to play Santa, but those “gifts” to us under her tree are actually paid for by us. No free lunch, Hillary. At least her smile didn’t lead to a cackle.
Edwards — F-, Pandering, pandering, pandering.
Huckabee — F-, a flim flam man wrapping himself in the mantle of our Savior for his own personal benefit. I don't believe for a second that the "book shelf" cross was an accident and if it was then he is a moron who is totally clueless about the world around him - he's a fraud and is using the name of Jesus Christ to gain personal power and prestige for his own glory
Obama — B, it looked to me like an honest reaction to a totally bogus set up by the huckster. I don't support Obama, but he doesn't repulse me the way Caligula Huckabee does
McCain — D, as he fell back on yet another story about how he was tortured by the Vietnamese communists 40 years ago. You know, the folks he now wants all of us to make friends with and forget what types of monsters they are
Rudy — B-, yeah, yeah, gotta have a Christmas commercial. Blah, blah, blah. I wil vote for Rudy if it comes down to him and the hildabeast, but this ain't making me happy about him. Being a New Yorker (raised there) I understand the cynical tone of his ad, but it ain't carrying any weight with me
Hillary — X-, thank you very much for reminding me why I hate you and your Stalinist form of "government," you horrendous monster
Edwards — F-, Pandering, pandering, pandering - you got that one right, and I haven't seen the ad
but you failed to mention Fred
Fred Thompson — A++, the dinosaur media is desperate to ignore what he did, nuff said
