All these crying posts would make sense if Hillary cried

[Jersey Devil]

Hey, I'm an Edwards supporter and I am gonna stick with my guy through the primaries. That said, all this baloney about Hillary crying is just that - baloney. I watched the video twice and there are no tears, no crying, no sobbing.

She looked and sounded tired just the same way someone would do if they were sitting around after pulling an all nighter in college and hoping the next cup of coffee would keep them awake, functioning on nervous energy.

There are many reasons I favor Edward over Hillary but this ain't one of them. This is just poop that people who don't like Hillary want to drop in her lap the night before an election so they can try to make her stink.

The people saying this shit should be ashamed of themselves.

1. She just admited that she was crying on CNN

Sorry to bust the spin.

[Jersey Devil]

3. I'm not spinning anything - I don't even like Hillary

I am just trying to be fair here. If there were tears they didn't show up on my 17" plasma monitor.

7. And they didn't show up on my 37 inch TV either.

15. FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Sorry, got carried away there.

8. Well either way, she admitted all day that she "got emotional"

She's not denying that she cried.

[Jersey Devil]

10. Isn't there a difference between 'getting emotional' and 'crying'?

If you are going to suggest she shouldn't be nominated because she sits around and weeps I sure think there is. Frankly I think this entire argument is sexist, a suggestion that a weak woman can't be a leader and is bullshit.

As I said, I don't like Hillary. But this latest stuff is pure BS

[pnwmom]

19. You're right, it is sexist. She's criticized for being cold and unfeeling,

but let an ounce of real feeling show, and suddenly she's supposedly in tears.

18. Why should she have to say the obvious?

She did show some feeling -- some patriotic feeling -- which almost any DUer shares. This country has been going down the tubes and all of us know it.

9. great, do her lies know no end!

14. Like Gore "admitting" that he invented the internet. We all saw the video

And everyone's glee or nasty comments are very uncalled for. Doesn't change the race, just reveals you.

20. If Hillary was ALWAYS that emotional, she'd be way ahead,

I was surprised to see Hillary drop her guard in this video, but I can imagine what she's been going through.

She seemed more sincere and more 'real' to me when she was being 'emotional' than I can ever remember her seeming.

Those who know her well say there's a real good woman under all that professional mufti, I think I saw a glimpse of that woman on this video.

And I'd like to see more of her.

2. Thanks I watched it too and I didn't see anything either. Another candidate..another exaggeration.

[pnwmom]

4. You're right. This is crap. She didn't cry.

She quietly let a tiny bit of feeling show and then all the people who've been criticizing her for being too cold and unemotional went ape-shit.

[pnwmom]

5. K & R -- to counter the smear job.

[eileen_d]

6. I agree

I just watched the video. She was tired and got emotional. Whether it was manufactured or not, I'm not going to go there. Anyone who thinks it's going affect the primaries is delusional.

[Jersey Devil]

12. This entire incident reminds me of the "Dean scream"

The scream that wasn't gave someone the idea for the crying jag that wasn't.

[DeepModem Mom]

11. In the name of God, yes. Thank you -- K&R. nt

[Byronic]

13. Anybody who doesn't

get emotional when thinking about where the Bush Administration has led this nation, and of all the squandered chances, isn't somebody I want in the Oval Office.

[pnwmom]

17. Exactly. n/t

[lunatica]

16. And if she did cry so what?

I am not supporting Hillary either but what the hell is wrong with anyone tearing up or getting emotional? What is it with elections that bring out such hatefulness?!

[pnwmom]

21. We should hang her up by her fingernails, then tar and feather her.

Right?

:sarcasm:

22. If Obama had done this the Media would be discussing how he connects with the audience.

I will support any democratic nominee and do not mean to knock Obama. But, I believe Mrs. Clinton was simply trying to connect with her audience. If she were a male candidate, we'd be discussing his passion as a leader. Thank you Jersey Devil for posting this. I also saw no tears, just emotion, be it real or feigned.

[sniffa]

23. This was obviously a calculated ploy by her to distract from her "Debate Moment."

It's not fooling anyone. :eyes:

[lunatica]

25. God help us if she wins

There will never be an end to the banshee screaming, hair yanking spewing of venomous hatred attacking her. And that's just by the Democrats, and half of DU.

26. Thanks, JD.......

You are one heck of a Jersey Boy (girl?). :patriot:
