Who do you want to answer the phone?

[techforumz]

Ron Paul. Have him tell them that we're coming home!

[MACKATTACK1970]

McCain is senile, old and stupid.

I wouldn't trust this guy with my dog.

[MACKATTACK1970]

If McCain answers the phone the world is doomed.

He is so confused that he will bomb the wrong country.

[micahw83]

I always thought this ad would work better for McCain.

[alix1962]

Dude, this sucks badly and no one believes you, lol

[THEWUUUU]

wow...this is such a cheap commercial lol. Is this a REAL commercial? Looks like some supporter put it together on his computer in 5 minutes.

[pjl1520]

If you read the comments, the author said it took about an hour...

[Ganymede11]

In addition to this being incredibly unimaginative and borderline plagiarism, personally, I'd prefer to vote for WHOMEVER understands that the question "who do you want to answer the phone?" is grammatically incorrect. WHOM, people, the correct word is WHOM!  It appears that, now, we've even lost the expectation for our leaders to show some grasp of the English language. Jeez!

[pjl1520]

This commercial came out Jan 6th. It was copied by Clinton not McCain

[mtpleasantcane]

edpeepers...The military will be just fine without you. Trust me.

Ron Paul should be in the WH. Thats a good one. Then he would have to investigate 9/11 again to appease all of his 9/11 truther supporters out there. No thanks. Hes a nut.

[edpeepers]

McCain? He'll just "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" and then I'll get drafted. No thankies, I'll pick Obama!

[seajayh]

Obama, definitely

[Isaacthompson714]

You misspelled terrorist.

[RobertSeattle]

Let's hope the White House doesn't use 1970's era printers anymore... :-)

[jeffreytaos]

I thought there would be a lot more than this. I mean imagine Hillary knocking ove the reciever in a grog and then hanging it up, or Obama letting it go to the answering service. Of course McCain makes it look like he'll pick it up on the first ring, but has anyboddy ever thought about who really answers the phone at 1600 Pennsyvania Avenue. Still waiting on a good laugh.

[joshrain1]

ron paul should be answering the phone, not these idiots

[joshrain1]

this is bullshit. when the phone rings at 3am. it simply going to say please leave a voice mail and we will get back to you shortly. btw, who is calling?

[unclefole]

it is because of jerks like you that we are in Iraqi..

[readynow22209]

This ad was created by me on January 6th using Pinnacle Studio Pro - It took me about one hour to create, edit, add sound effects. I considered using a more modern e-mail system, but getting the graphics right proved more difficult than my limited skill would allow. Same for the old sound effects. I am amused by the Clinton ad coincidence

[ArtVandelay1983]

Did the Clinton campaign pay you for stealing your idea?

[Pythia333]

Idea??? Give me a break, this 'idea' is used all the time...it's nothing new.

PEOPLE - FOR THE LOVE OF GOD - WAKE UP!

[ArtVandelay1983]

Another shrill Hillary supporter. "All the time"? Besides here and when it was used by Mondale, when else has the "3 am phone call" idea been used?

[pjl1520]

The 3AM time is unique to this ad. Mondale ad doesn't reference being in the middle of the night

[BurghTunes]

Maybe we should outsource annoying 3am calls to India.

[newmac]

With a Democrat like Obama in office, no one will screw up again, and there will be no 3:am phonecall. And why, after evicting Mensaman from the Oval Office would we want his best buddy answering the phone?

[TalmadgeG1]

Obama, phones for you.

[CaptainGoodNote]

I'll tell you who I want - Barack Obama. Someone with sound judgment, not someone whose entire life and entire family is dedicated 100% to the "glories" of war and combat.

[Foxboy1313]

Badkingjohn had a good point why didn't Mc Insain go up in rank while he was a POW? Why did the North Vietnamese nickname him Songbird? Where are the video tapes and files about his treasonous statements while a POW? How many pilots where shot down because he talked? Is he a Manchurian candidate?

[retailjesus]

I want Master Shake to answer the phone!

[bookmarkjedi]

This begs a host of questions, such as the following:

"Who calls at 3 AM?"

"Will the president accept collect calls?"

"Will McCain be able to lift his arms to answer the phone while lying down?"

"Is the Oval Office Skype-enabled?"

"Shouldn't the White House operator answer the phone, so that the president can get a good night's sleep?"

"Does it have to be THAT ring tone?"

"Will White House phone calls be exempted from FISA?"

"Is the White House signed up on the National Do Not Call Registry?"

[A19Z89]

LOL!

I had those exact same questions written down in that exact same order. Strange.

[Akin42]

Who would I like answering? The dude who isn't against all wars, just dumb wars (Iraq): Barack Obama.

[marypeppito]

hillary - same fear tactics as republicans - this makes it crystal clear.

[Kthonix]

I want Richard Nixon to answer the phone.

[badkingjohn]

Roscoe P Coltrane would be better than Dubya

[badkingjohn]

McCain served 22 years in the military and never made it past Captain. Why should the American people promote him beyond Senator?

[kreuzer02]

Umm, I am an Obama supporter, but I must point out that a Captain in the Navy is a Colonel (O6) and 22 years is about right.

[TheYellowAnt]

WRONG

[cjeffrey6]

Good question. Here's my top ten list of who I would want to answer the phone, including both contemporary and historical people: 1. Chris Rock 2. Gore Vidal 3. Christina Aguilera 4. Albert Einstein (Deceased) 5. Jon Stewart 6. Jesus H. Christ (Deceased/resurrected) 7. Kilgore Trout (Fictional) 8. Alexander Graham Bell (Deceased) 9. The Coen brothers 10.Sanjaya Sorry, but McCain is not in the top ten. My grandfather is McCain's age and we don't even let him *near* the phone.

[iamthebyron]

Wow, Hillary must have really liked this ad.

[queensplazasouth]

I'm with you, bro

[JRGENYC]

LOL C'MON DUDE YOU KNOW JOHN McCAIN GOES TO SLEEP AT 7PM. AFTER HAVING DINER. PLUS, IT NOT HEALTHY FOR OLD FOLKS TO WAKE UP THAT EARLY.

LOL THATS FUNNY.

[wetbaloney]

It doesn't matter who I want to answer the phone. If the Republicans are still in the White House they will probably contract out the phone-answering function to some call center in Bangalore (one with a controlling interest held by Haliburton).

[cjeffrey6]

NICK (picks up phone) Nick Danger, Third Eye...

VOICE (phone voice) I, uh, wanna order a pizza to go and no anchovies...

NICK No anchovies? You've got the wrong man, I spell my name "Danger"... (phone hangup)

[cjeffrey6]

What's a "terriost" group? People who like terriers?

We're in deep doo-doo: the CIA can't even *spell* "terrorist"!!

[cjeffrey6]

Mrs. McCain answers because John's making his 13th trip of the night to the bathroom.

[7boon]

And McCain picks up the phone and yells,

"BOMB IRANIASTAN!!"

[NovemberGuest]

This made me laugh.

[evinwolverton]

Who do I want to answer the phone? Not a man who'd take us to an unconstitutional, unwanted, irrelevant war. Goodnight, John McCain. Sleep peacefully through the night, and through the rest of eternity.

[SpaceMedafighterEx]

ROFL Hillary. Ads you can XEROX

[ItzMeGayle]

Doesn't matter who came up with it first, Obama is the PIMP of PLAGAIRISM and his rip-off ad aired moments ago proves that. He's lifted whole speeches, now a complete tv ad! He doesn't have an original idea in his head!

VOTE HILLARY CLINTON -- the only candidate who knows where the phone is and how to HANDLE THE CALL!

[projectilepoop]

Yeah ... like when the USS Cole got hit? That call came in at about 3 am I imagine ... way to handle that call!

[Annissa14]

great...now there is going to be a bunch of crap about who came up with the "3 am" idea first...

personally, i would want obama to answer the phone though.

[pmfrancisco]

I don't think the debate will last long - this one was posted on the 6th of January.

Hillary Clinton: Ads you can Xerox, indeed!

[IncredibleGoliath]

Among many of the retarded things about this ad, and the Hillary ad that rips it off, is it's suggestion that THE PRESIDENT ANSWERS THE PHONE THEMSELVES. No, they don't. FFS.

People comparing this to the Daisy ad and Reagan's bear ad are wrong - those were brilliant because they were grounded in real distinctions between candidates. These are merely vague, and would only work on people who already support the candidates (because if you're ambivalent to McCain, WTF kind of point is being made?)

[ZeroCorpse]

Who cares who did "3:00 AM" first? It's all little girls, daisies, mushroom clouds, bears and wolves to the voters.

Fear-mongering is fear-mongering. I feel sorry for conservatives, living their lives in a constant state of being terrorized by the possibility of being harmed by "the enemy" (whoever the "enemy" happens to be at the time).

Does it suck to be such paranoid, xenophobic, whiny pussies who need a "big brother" President to protect them from all the bullies of the world?

[dsmyre]

Hillary just released a video about a 3AM phone call. I wonder where she got the idea?

[hyperrreal]

I want Steven Seagal to answer the phone.

[sponson]

Whether this is a "real" ad or not, if it was really posted on January 6, 2008 then someone in the Clinton campaign "plagiarized" it.

[jatarheel]

Is this real? Is there anyway to verify this ad really ran for McCain?

[badkingjohn]

It's not an official McCain ad, but it was posted to Youtube Jan 6, so we know Hillary plagiarized it.

[dbonecc]

This type of ad is much older than 2008.

[steviey99]

I want Obama answering. Hillary has already shown she has poor judgement, as has McCain.

Plus, McCain couldn't even drag his old butt out of bed at 3:am.

[skillimon]

if Hillary wants to do what she does in her answer the phone video, then she at least ought to show us what SHE would look like answering the phone at 3am, not that totally made up and ready to go out image she ends on.

[dmsdbo]

Hillary wants to complain about stealing ideas? What the hell do you call copying this video?

[Weasler455]

HILLARY: "This is the President. Who is this?".

CALLER: "This is Osamma bin Laden. We are

going to blow up Washington!"

HILLARY: "I understand your feelings, Osamma, and I'm sure the United States deserves it, particularly the white people. But let me first send a multicultural expert over to you to run a diversity session. Then you see how you feel, and you can decide if you still want to do so then".

CALLER: "Oh, Hillary, you are so logical!

Yes, what the world needs LOVE!"

[nashmj]

Well, I guess now we know where Hillary got her idea for the 3 AM ad she's running.

[Weasler455]

Yes, she's just so IMAGINATIVE.

[goonsgoons]

Added: January 06, 2008

Whoops!

[habs1usa]

John McCain is the most incompetent candidate. 10,000 MORE YEARS IN IRAQ!!!!!

[Weasler455]

10,000 years in Iraq is still better than ONE DAY of Obama or Shrillary.

[ramrodw30]

Obama

[timg455]

That old man would probably sleep right through it.

[greyskye]

Be afraid! The "Terriost's" (sic!) are coming!

Whatever happened to "The Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself" - Franklin D. Roosevelt, Inaugural Address, March 4, 1933

Now it's "If you don't do what we say, the terrorists win!"

I feel very sad for the sheeple who fall for this oldest of political tactics - playing the 'fear' card against their political opponents. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.

Sad.

[sponson]

Wow, Hillary Clinton just aired an ad exactly like it. The choice is clear: McCain or Clinton (voted for the Iraq war) or Barack Obama (was opposed to it, still is).

[framundus]

No thank you, I'll pass. I don't trust this flip flopping Bush puppet.

[jaydam1]

Someone with a brain...

Not another George Dubbah Bush!!

[dhpye]

I see what you did there. We're supposed to be afraid. Very afraid. And then we vote for the military hero.

Do you have any ads for people who are not ruled by cowardice?

[seamuspcoy]

A Democrat.

[highgrade1980]

I don't support McCain but that's an awesome ad.
