Hillary's Holiday Wish List

If you haven’t seen Hillary’s holiday wish list, check it out here. It’s ridiculous on a number of levels.

First, whoever wins the Republican nomination should remember this ad well. If they’re running against Hillary, just break it out and you’ll have all the reasons not to vote for her.

Second, Hillary wrapping presents? Right… Very funny. I dare say I've wrapped more presents than Senator Clinton.

Third, what’s up with the spooky “happy holidays”? It looks like a gothic type font more appropriate for Halloween than Christmas [excuse me, the “winter holiday (or non-holiday) of your choosing]. I don’t mean to nitpick, but it really doesn’t fit in with the general brightness of the ad. Just kind of strange.

Finally, all these things are her “gifts” to the American people. In other words, when she’s elected, these things will magically appear; no fight, no consequences, nothing. Just vote for Hillary and all your dreams will come true. The idea of universal healthcare should be rejected on the surface for its inefficiencies and inadequacies, but to not admit that “free” healthcare is paid for by higher taxes (Quick lesson here: If Government decides to spend money they’re not spending now, said money has to come from somewhere. Government is funded by taxes) is incredibly dishonest and pandering of the worst level. Portraying these policies as free gifts, free of consequence, is disgusting.
