Wait- did Clinton cry AGAIN?

[Guaranteed]

???

[MonkeyFunk]

1. I think there was a thread about it earlier.

[bunnies]

9. ROFLMAO.

:toast:

[Kittycat]

13. That's an understatement

:rofl:

I don't support her, but I'm so sick of seeing the same crap threads thrown up 100 times each day. Seriously. People do not have to search to realize that something has already been posted. Just look at page 1 of GDP, or *gasp* page 2 - I'm sure you'll find your topic there at least 5 times, if not more... Coupled with plenty of rebuttle threads to counter all the Faux outrage.

This forum is like watching Days of our lives. Each week, we only progress 1 day - because we spend so much time sifting through crap posts to find the few posts that actually contain new and meaningful information.

2. She didn't cry the first time so how could it be again? n/t

[Guaranteed]

5. Is that a yes?

Are you telling me she's crying the day before important votes as a CAMPAIGN STRATEGY?

Could there be anything more cynical?

[radfringe]

3. yes

and apparantly coughed too...

but then Obama coughs and he smokes.

now I'm waiting for the burping and farting numbers to roll in

[LittleClarkie]

4. I thought I heard she had a coughing jag and it got photographed as if she cried

.

[Bucky]

25. She coughed? How can she be commander in chief if she COUGHS?!?!!!!1!

[LittleClarkie]

28. I'm serious. I thought somebody explained the tears as a coughing jag

Am I mistaken?

What the hell happened?

[Bucky]

30. As I understand it, she was getting a bunch of testimonials from former mentors

Regardless of why her tear ducts got activated, it's not an issue worth considering. I'm not for her, but anyone spinning this to argue against her qualifications for office is being trivial (as sadly, some of our fellow DUers have chosen to do). The coughing may have come with the emotions.

Lyndon Johnson said he couldn't trust a man who couldn't sit down and have a good old fashioned cry

[robbedvoter]

6. No, let's not wait! let's start a few threads about it.

[MH1]

7. Aw come on. There was no first time, and this is just as much b.s.

This is really the stupidest thing to go on about. Well, it's in competition for that dubious distinction at least.

[Guaranteed]

11. If she did it again, the day before the vote, this is definitely something

to "go on" about.


Because that's downright fucking manipulative, if that's what she did.

[BlackVelvet04]

16. Maybe if you read real slowly you'll get it....

SHE DIDN'T FUCKING CRY.

[MH1]

17. And if so, the manipulation would be to get people to attack her for it

so she gets more sympathy votes.

And if that is true then it appears you done fell for it...

[JVS]

8. Not really.

[ErnestoG]

10. I wish she would have cried about THESE things....

(the following got locked as a thread, though I couldn't figure out why. Hopefully it's OK as just a response to yours)

I do not have anything against a politician exhibiting emotion. Even shedding a tear or two in public. The real question for me is, what they are crying over. We saw Hillary the tearful upstart, after she got smacked down in Iowa, welling up with tears as she bore her soul to an audience about how hard the political fight is. In other words, it was once again, all about her. But what of this wounded nation? What of the harm we have sustained internally, and imposed externally on over a million innocent people in several countries?

So if Senator Clinton was going to make a public spectacle out of her tear fest, here is my list of what I wish she had cried over:

Her IWR Vote.

She enabled the worst war crime in my memory by going along with the lying scheme of George W Bush to invade and occupy a country who had never done anything to harm us. She claims ignorance, but is mum on why she refused to read credible intel before the vote that showed problems in the case Bushhole was making for war. She didn't have time for the NIE report. She ignorantly, and for political expedience, aided and abetted the horrible deaths of over 4,000 Americans and over a million Iraqis. She cannot hide in the Democratic multitudes, because 126 Democrats of conscience voted against authorizing Bush's war crime. A vote for which, to date, she still will not apologize.

But this issue has left her dry eyed.


Her intention to garnish the wages of hard working Americans if they don't go along with her health plan.

In a time where we are feeling the initial bite of another Republican era recession, Senator Clinton has let slip that she has nothing against garnishing the wages of American workers who don't go along with her idea of health care. To add insult to injury, this places the IRS into an even more predatory role than it has had in the past. This year, more people will lose their homes, their jobs, and their ability to cover the health of themselves or their families than ever before.

Out of almost anything she has said in this race so far, this was one of the most arrogant and callously unfeeling statements of all. Yet, no tears from Hillary.


Cheerleading the Kyle-Lieberman Bill

In the fetid shadow of her IWR vote, she proves once again that a hawk can never go too far in endorsing yet another criminal war being planned out. Instead of recoiling for her obvious liability of her IWR vote, she goes the other way and sets a land speed record in endorsing this outrageous piece of shit legislation sponsored by one of our favorite DINO sellouts, Joe Lieberman. This bill turns the defense forces of Iran (The Revolutionary Guard) into terrorists, thereby setting the precedent for a US attack on this nation which has never done a thing to us - even when the hostages were taken in retaliation for a decades long interference by Uncle Sam since the overthrow of their democratically elected president Mohammed Mossadegh.

So here we go with another major bloodletting. Hillary's tears? They are AWOL.


Her Closeness with The Defense Industry, PNAC and other RightWing Entities.

Again an outgrowth of her Hawkish sense, which sees nothing wrong with enabling the incalculable loss of life as long as she appears "tough on terror and national security". She is cozy with Rethug/PNAC PR firm Barbor Griffith, and has supported their agendas more than once. She is becoming known as The Democratic Neocon, much too eager to side with DLC Hawks which are under the table buddies of the worst of the PNAC supporters. She sides with murderous evil here.

But, where are the tears, Hillary?


In the trial of infamous murderer Lizzie Borden, her prosecutors noted that at no time in the trial did Ms. Borden cry. Her defense countered that "Eyes that do not cry, are indeed, the saddest eyes of all." Can this be said of Senator Clinton? Is she so sad over her actions, views and alliances that she just cannot bring herself to cry about it?

Probably not. Conversely, she is preparing to do a Bordenesque hatchet job on American workers and the Anti-War movement. And there are not enough tears to ever change the horrific consequences of that.

[Deja Q]

24. If Hillary is so anti-job, why are all sorts of unions endorsing her?

I've agreed with her re: foreign policies, but our economy has to be self-sustaining to afford it all too.

[CatWoman]

12. you couldn't tell by the 2 million threads about it?

??

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

14. Huckabee had a farmer's nose blow in his last campaign stop in Podunk

and I understand his poll numbers among his constituents are now soaring.

[no name no slogan]

15. Yeah, and know what else? OBAMA IS BLACK !!!11111oneone11!!

:D

[ErnestoG]

19. Hold it...I thought he was a smoker?

[Bucky]

31. Pfff, Muslims don't smoke!

[LittleClarkie]

20. Did he only become black for the primaries?

I'd be suspicious of his blackness.

[libertee]

26. Really...areyou kidding, I've got to check that for sure!

[elizm]

18. You got it. nt

[JVS]

21. I just kicked up a thread that has the important info

[question everything]

22. Do you really want to know or is this another snide remark?

A friend from law school was praising her and she was overwhelmed. A very human reaction that most of us - human - have had.

[racaulk]

23. Geez...

[JimGinPA]

27. She was teary-eyed...

got emotional, was choked up... whatever. I personally believe it was calculated rather than authentic, since it was remarkably similar circumstances to her last "breakdown" that apparently "humanized" her. Let's see, the day before the primary, after having lost the previous one, in a small women's roundtable she has a "moment". Give me a break! It's the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen.


I don't believe there's a phonier human being on the planet.

[Kahuna]

29. Predictably, she did. nt

[Nimrod2005]

32. Don't ask please...

33. Useless post.
