OK-lets have 3 months of threads smearning/mocking Bush cause he had tears today

[rodeodance]

is is ok for man to tear up--but not a woman?

[FARAFIELD]

1. who is bush?

[Skip Intro]

2. So much more fun to slam Hillary, evidently.

Fun, or work?

[rodeodance]

many BO fans get their kicks smearing Hillary for have emotions.

[jenmito]

14. Really? I wish she WOULD have emotions for the troops getting killed in Iraq.

[Skip Intro]

18. And how many troops does Obama want to leave in Iraq, and for how long?

[jenmito]

22. WTH does that have to do with what I said? HE didn't give Bush a blank check to invade Iraq.

[Skip Intro]

30. A lot.

If he wants to keep them there, more will die. It's not a big leap, not a leap at all.

Btw, he himself said he didn't know how he would have voted. And he doesn't seem to be damning Kerry for voting the same way Hillary did, nor do his flock here.

And another question - does he want to stop the dying of US troops in Iraq to bring them home, or to put them "on the right battlefields" as he has said?

Yes, if you are going to damn Hillary for every death in Iraq, then you have to damn the politicians who want to leave many of them there, or move them to die in yet another country.

[jenmito]

34. FYI-He sponsored the "Iraq De-Escalation Act." ALSO, as you SHOULD know,

he said he didn't know how he would have voted only to protect Kerry and Edwards since the interview was right before his keynote speech in support of them-and they both voted for it.

He does NOT want to keep them there. He wants to bring them home. And putting them "on the right battlefields" is exactly what he SHOULD be doing, duh. He wants to finally get the people responsible for attacking us.

[rodeodance]

39. btw-amy goodman interview- Obama will KEEP BLACKWATER IN Iraq!!

[jenmito]

52. You mean the company Mark Penn's firm represents?

[Skip Intro]

41. Wow.

I can't believe you are defending him for saying something for purely political reasons, supposedly on the issue that he feels so deeply about that it all but defines him. Unbelievable.

And if he puts them "on the right battlefields" of Afghanistan and Pakistan, with or without their approval, one would assume, how the hell is he going to bring them home?

And again, how can he, and people in this thread, damn Hillary and wish her anguish over that vote, while Obamaa covers for Edwards and Kerry by modifying his supposed opposition to the vote/war, and actually gush and praise Kerry for backing Obama?

Hillary voted for the IWR - she's an evil warmonger responsible single-handedly for thousands of deaths

Kerry voted for the IWR - he's a hero and a good man who had the good sense to back Obama

I mean, really, wtf?

[jenmito]

51. Wow!

I can't believe you think he should've said it was wrong for Kerry and Edwards to vote for the war right before he gave a speech for them! (But he DID say the case wasn't made at the end of his interview).

I also can't believe you have something against a CIC using the military for its intended use!

WTH are you talking about "gush and praise Kerry for backing Obama"?? Get real.

Hillary and Kerry were BOTH wrong for voting for the IWR! Kerry, at least, said he was wrong. But he's just as guilty as she is for voting for it!

I mean, really, :wtf:

[Skip Intro]

56. I think if he's going to run on his convictions he should hold to them and not modify them for

political expediency.

And I think if he's going to say he's going to bring the troops home, then he shouldn't instead send them to fight in new nations on new battlefields. Which one is it? Home or new war?

And if you've missed the praise of Kerry here from those who damn Hillary for her vote, then I guess you were out that month.

Little difference in saying "sorry" and "regret."

Glad to see that if you blame one, you blame them both. I hope Kerry gets time to morn those he's sent to death in between campaigning for a guy who uses that vote to demonize Hillary.

[jenmito]

58. Get real...

He was ALWAYS against it.

He always said he was going to get the troops out of Iraq and that we'd get back to fighting al Qaeda where they ARE. The ones who attacked us-bin Laden. Obama's been VERY consistent in his position.

Hillary said she'd like to have that vote BACK when pressed on it.

I blame Edwards, too. I blame ALL of 'em who voted for it.

[Skip Intro]

59. Fine. Back to my original question - how many troops will he leave behind & for how long?

you're very good at evading questions, but I do have one more to repeat for you - if he's going to send them off to new wars, then why is he claiming he wants to bring them home?

[jenmito]

60. He said he'll just leave enough troops in the AREA to protect our embassy and to be

within striking distance IF there are flare ups again in Iraq.

AGAIN-he ALWAYS said the same thing-that he wants to go after those who attacked us on 9/11, and those people are in the Afghanistan area. He NEVER said our troops would all get to come home and never have to go anywhere. AGAIN-GET REAL!

[Skip Intro]

61. Logic like a pretzel. Been fun, man, see ya 'round.

[jenmito]

62. It's just the facts, ma'am. Sorry you can't handle the truth!

[Bolo Boffin]

32. You did it again. n/t

[dionysus]

50. can you please stop using forrest gump grammar?

:rofl:

[cliffordu]

55. Aw, BULLSHIT.

If she wants to be President, she's got to act Presidential.

[democrattotheend]

3. Bush had tears today?

What happened?

And for the record, I never thought we should make fun of Clinton for crying or call it insincere. I started crying a few weeks ago because I was so upset at the way the media was beating up Obama over Reverend Wright and I am just a supporter. I don't blame Clinton for getting frustrated and choking up in New Hampshire.

[SoFlaJet]

7. the very convenient posthumous Medal Of Honor

ceremony...funny how it was scheduled for today wasn't it?

[libnnc]

25. he handed them to the mother like..."Here...now where's my sammich?"

"Here's yer medals. We got lunch scheduled next or what?"

[jenmito]

8. He gave a couple some sort of medal for getting killed by jumping on a grenade.

He SHOULD have tears.

[XemaSab]

4. Bush sucks.

Hillary sucks.

Any questions? :shrug:

[jenmito]

5. His tears are tears of guilt. At least they SHOULD be.

[rodeodance]

6. its ok for a man to cry?

[jenmito]

10. It's ok for ANYONE to cry if it's sincere.

:shrug:

[rodeodance]

12. who are to judge Hillary when she hears about sad events.

[jenmito]

16. Who are you to infer that I was judging Hillary? YOU made that assumption. I wonder why!

[rodeodance]

21. because I and others know of your long history of Hillary smears. No assumptions.

[jenmito]

26. It's not sad hearing more troops that you allowed to be sent into Iraq got killed?

[rodeodance]

31. Obama sent them to be killed by funding the war

[jenmito]

36. What a stupid comment.

[rodeodance]

38. you are the one that said " you alllow" up above. Stupid??

[jenmito]

40. And? Hillary ALLOWED Bush to drive the bus into the ditch. Obama is trying to get the bus out the

best way possible.

[MadBadger]

29. She didnt hear about sad events the very first time. She was asked how she gets ready for the day.

And she got all teary eyed.

[rodeodance]

47. "And she got all teary eyed"

[Faygo Kid]

9. Too much blood on his hands to worry about the tears in his eyes.

You don't want to go too far with this one, rodeodance.

[katty]

11. tears?! he should break down in public & request lockup for himself

[Arkana]

13. I didn't know lizards could cry.

Must be a byproduct of their human suits.

[DJ13]

15. Is Obama beating him up too?

:rofl:

[stellanoir]

17. Let's not okay. . . ?

He cried at his first inaugural also.

He probably was overwhelmed at the enormity of their coup.

Perhaps this time it was because he couldn't possibly imagine EVER embodying the selflessness of that soldier.

That may have been semi sincere.

It's all mere speculation but reminded me of this.

". . .Crocodile tears and a pocket full of tissues. . . "

[apocalypsehow]

19. Because posthumously awarding someone the Congressional Medal of Honor and being behind in a primary

fight are exactly the same kind of things, right?

:eyes:

[TahitiNut]

20. I didn't know he was in the primaries. (Darn! Go figure!)

Maybe Hill will shed empathy tears. :eyes:

[EmilyAnne]

23. Just three months? Tears or no tears, I've been mocking his sorry ass since he was the Gov of

Texas.

Luckily, he's not running in the 2008 Democratic Primary.

[QC]

24. Are we allowed to criticize Republicans here?

It's been so long since anyone did it that I thought maybe it wasn't allowed anymore.

[rodeodance]

33. of course--as my OP said --lets have months of threads mocking Bush for his tears

[sueragingroz]

27. I thought the exact same thing when I saw that story!

[rodeodance]

35. after months of obams fans demeaning, and smearing HRC for emotions-so did I

[HCE SuiGeneris]

28. A pictorial.

[rasputin1952]

37. What happened...did he get a preview of his legacy?...

:D

[bingowas-hisname-o]

42. Bush's father also cried

http://youtube.com/watch?v=jWJHCRVs4AY

[berni_mccoy]

43. Nah, it would be sexist to call out a man who cries.

[Major Hogwash]

44. Only if he throws his bookbag at you first. Then you're allowed to cry, but only if it hits you.

If it's a miss, you go "neener, neener, neener, not even close, ya little wiener."

[lojasmo]

45. I can't stand it when that fucker tears up.

Or, you know, anybody who helped to authorize this meat grinder. (get it?)

[JimGinPA]

46. Word

[scheming daemons]

48. We've been smearing Bush for almost 8 years.... he's irrelevant now.....

[dionysus]

49. well, they *both* cry phoney tears... we can bash 'em both right?

:shrug:

[madrchsod]

53. who gives a crap if this old guy cried

who cares if anyone cries. i may question their sincerity but that`s my opinion or observation.

[L0oniX]

54. Crocodile tears

[merh]

57. We have had 8 years of mocking Bush

nothing has changed in that regard.
