Clinton clearly got emotional but she wasn't crying.

6. Watch the video. It was sincere.
And she WAS NOT CRYING.

3. This forum has become close to being a right wing tool in the defeat of Clinton.

7. It's true.
It's got nothing to do with her being a lousy candidate.

4. Correct, I just re-watched the vid and...
her voice caught, she probably choked off a tear, no more. Take her out and shoot her, she's a damned over-emotional, angry, icy feelingiless bitch.

5. Because this is a fear-based society and people can't wait to find anothers' weakness to exploit
until that person is finished.

9. CNN has 'chocks up'
Which may be more accurate, though I haven't seen the vid.

11. OK, I won't call it crying. I'll call it the
crocodile tears stunt, because that's what it was. There, is that better for you?

12. She has a heart...she gets tired...she gets emotional...she can be
touched by some woman's question about how she is bearing up. Here is a cheer for Hillary from me. If the guy in the WH had a heart as well as a brain and some human emotions, we wouldn't be where we are today. I'm not going to vote for her but, boy, I like her better than I did 24 hours ago.

14. It was fatigue, total exhaustion, giving a damn.....
whatever. Quite human and quite understandable.

I have no idea how ANYBODY, man or woman, can have the stamina to run for President without just dropping dead from exhaustion.


Give the woman a break.

15. Let her cry, for she's a lady........
Wildflower
Skylark

She's faced the hardest times
you could imagine
and many times her eyes fought back the tears
and when her youthful world
was about to fall in
each time her slender shoulders
bore the weight of all her fears
and a sorrow no one hears
still rings in midnight silence,
in her ears

Let her cry, for she's a lady
let her dream, for she's a child
let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower,
growing wild

and if by chance I should hold her
let me hold her for a time
but if allowed just one possession
I would pick her from the garden,
to be mine

Be careful how you touch her,
for she'll awaken
and sleep's the only freedom that she knows
and when you walk into her eyes,
you won't believe
the way she's always paying
for a debt she never owes
and a silent wind still blows
that only she can hear and so she goes

Let her cry, for she's a lady
let her dream, for she's a child

let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower,
growing wild

18. I have a feeling that these are some of the same posters who
insisted that she lost her temper during the debate Saturday night because she spoke with conviction. She is apparently not allowed to show any emotion or strong feelings at all while campaigning without being called a phony.
