..one of the interviewees for Commander-in-Chief cried (again) today?

[truebrit71]

..is that right?

...how does her bursting into tears anytime the going gets rough, NOT play into the rethugs talking points about "emotional women" not being suitable for the job?

The general public might have bought it the first time...but not a second time...

Hillary is done.

[Peregrine Took]

1. What happened? Link??

[sunonmars]

2. Oh come on she was being praised by one of her biggest mentors

so Fuck you

[truebrit71]

7. She showed her weakness once again. The rethugs LOVE this stuff...

..I can see the campaign commericals now..."If we get attacked again by terrorists will HRC break down in tears? When it comes to giving tough military orders that may cause collateral damage will the desk in the Oval Office be awash in her tears? Do you want someone that is TOUGH enough to make the TOUGH decisions? Do you want someone in charge of the military that DOESN'T get emotional at the drop of a hat? Vote for ******, a vote for TOUGH leadership"...

Sort of writes itself really doesn't it?

Oh, and btw, poster "IGNORED" can go fuck themselves too...

[Auntie Bush]

10. Stop spouting off crap and post some facts. Thank ytou.

[truebrit71]

11. She didn't cry? Really? That ISN'T a fact?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.....:eyes:

6. mccain was an adulterer (cheated on wife #1 with cindy, pill-popping heiress trophy wife)

hillary is a loyal spouse.

talking point #1.

[truebrit71]

9. McCain is a war hero that didn't cry when he was tortured, HRC tears up when she see old friends..

THAT is talking point #1 like it or not....

[madmom]

12. how do you know he didn't cry, were you there?...

what's wrong with showing emotion when you see an old friend? Have you ever heard the expression I'm so happy I could cry?

[maxsolomon]

17. that's GOP talking point #1

this is DEMOCRATIC Underground.

McCain gets choked up, too. Everytime he hears his master's voice.

[Midlodemocrat]

62. How do you know he didn't cry? Were you there?

:eyes:

[grantcart]

18. yeah that's a subject that we want to remind the nation of!

[maxsolomon]

26. what subject?

adultery? mccains' adultery or bill clinton's adultery?

why the fuck do we want to make it easy on hypocrites like my parents, who hate hillary clinton BECAUSE her husband was unfaithful & she stuck by him, "just to be president"? there's a big difference between adulterer & adulteree.

if hillary gets the nomination, making sure america knows that mccain is an adulterer, and his 18-year younger trophy wife is an heiress with a history of drug addiction seems like common sense. it is most certainly what the GOP would do in this case. why, mccain is a combination of bill clinton (adulterer) & john kerry (married wealth) in this regard.

[grantcart]

28. why stop there why not bring up every single allegation

about Bill. lol.

Monica was irrelevent and whatever McCain did or not do is irrelevent.

[maxsolomon]

54. disagree. mccain's pecadilloes are very relevant

reagan democrats like my parents held clinton's infidelity against al gore. i believe that it contributed, along with nader, to the margin by which the SC stole the election.

if hillary secures the nomination, they will vote for mccain unless he can be taken down a peg or 12. he needs to be slimed.

[AtomicKitten]

8. Hillary is the antithesis of feminism.

There's no crying in politics.

[Tom Rinaldo]

13. Not the feminism I came to revere in the 70's

It held that men and women needed to be free to experience the full range of human nature. Women could be warriors and men could be nurturing. Women coud be hard and men could be soft. Feminisn was never about women gaining equality by mastering how to be men. It wasn't about teaching women to be warriors who were hard, nor was it about molding men into soft nurturers. Men were broken by sexism. Women were broken by sexism. We no longer were to live with half our potential selves cloaked and dishonored. That was liberation.

I guess we remember a different feminism.

[Bluebear]

16. Stop! We are supposed to "get over" the old realities of the 60's and 70's

:(

[AtomicKitten]

24. Crying on cue as a last resort the day before an election, particularly as a repeat performance -

- is not only lame but sets back the cause of feminism decades.

[Tom Rinaldo]

35. This is what you said: "There's no crying in politics"

That is what I responded to and I stand by my comments. I disagee with your assertion in this post also but that is a longer discussion that I don't have the time or motivation to have with you now. Just to be clear; I am not attacking you over your opinion here, just saying that it is subject to a longer debate.

[AtomicKitten]

41. This is just another political tool for the Clintons as was race in SC.

I don't think they are bad people. They have just shown they are willing to turn over every rock in their path and use it, no matter how awful.

I'm certain we disagree, and I too have neither the inclination nor time to dispute that very basic point.

[EFerrari]

40. You could well be remembering a different feminism.

First, second and third waves were different.

[Beausoir]

15. Oh how silly.

[AtomicKitten]

22. Yes, a repeat performance the day before an election is silly.

The first time the dog bites you, it is his fault.

The second time? Americans aren't nearly as dumb as the Clintons are banking on.

[niceypoo]

56. But whining is acceptable...

Obama's campaign thus far has been whining in reaction to anything Hillary says or does.

Hillary takes it on the chin and has done so 15+ years, but Obama seems to have a glass jaw.

"She's picking on me!, it isn't fair! Make her stop!" - Barak Obama

Now just who is wearing the pants in this election?

[AtomicKitten]

57. Political observers have cried foul on the Clinton campaign.

In fact, the Clintons' use of cheesy politics nudged Ted and Caroline Kennedy to come forth, call BS on the Clintons, and stake a claim in democracy.

[AZBlue]

78. Or baseball.

Sheesh!!

[peaches2003]

19. Tearing up NOT because she is weak

Hillary doesn't tear up because she is weak. She tears up because she is losing public support and just happens to find a way to almost cry the day before an election seems to be slipping away from her. I hate it when supposedly strong women fall back on this crap. :nopity:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

20. you guys need to decided: either she is a manipulative bitch or too emotional

one cannot be both.

[maxsolomon]

27. yes you can

see 10 million ex-girlfriends & ex-wives.

people tear up when something touches them emotionally. what we need to get over is thinking it means anything whatsoever. fucking narcissist george w. bush tears up. his CIA-running, war hero dad tears up. plaxico burress teared up on national TV last night.

it means NOTHING.

[truebrit71]

29. Um actually they CAN be both. I take it you never met my ex-wife?

...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

32. so you're saying strong women can never cry? if they do they are faking it?

my grand mom was the first woman judge of the calcutta high courts, and before that she was a well paid attorney. she cried. not just at home but when something emotional happened at the work place she would tear up.

i guess i should tell her she aint no feminist.

[truebrit71]

33. So you're only a feminist if you cry AND say you're tough?

Huh?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

39. you are a feminist if you believe you can be a woman and still have equal rights

people cry, women are encourage from childhood to cry more. they tend to tear up more easily.

whats wrong with that? why cant she get upset. i am not looking to elect a robot.

[truebrit71]

45. "i am not looking to elect a robot" and the rethugs aren't looking to elect an "emotional woman"...

...it plays RIGHT into their hands...and is yet ANOTHER reason why she is POISON to our chances of recapturing the WH in the fall...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

47. tearing up because you see your mentor is hardly emotional, also republicans shouldnt dictate

our candidates.

[truebrit71]

49. Picking someone that galvinizes their rabid base is doing THAT job for them..

..

[La Lioness Priyanka]

50. as though that base is going to vote for obama.

[truebrit71]

52. No but if the last name on the ticket isn't CLINTON then they won't bother to vote at all...

...she has the HIGHEST negatives of anyone running, and rethuglicans that would otherwise stay at home, will come out in DROVES to vote against her...

I also know quite a few independents and moderate republicans that are looking to vote FOR Obama but have said they will stay at home if Hillary is on the ticket...

[La Lioness Priyanka]

53. republican and right wingers vote. that is a very confirmed trend. no one will sleep

because we arent aggravating them enough

[madmom]

23. Last night after the super bowl Plexico Burress teared up while talking about a fucking football

game, does that make him a wimp a pansy or whatever you want to call it? People get emotional over different things and just because some of you are hard hearted and don't show emotion doesn't mean every one is. get over it!

[truebrit71]

31. Plaxico Burress is running for President now? He wants to be CIC? Oh wait...

...apples and oranges...

[madmom]

42. it is not apples and oranges, it show people get emotional over every thing ..

whether you like it or not. It's ok for a big he-man type to tear up over a fucking football game but not for the little woman to tear up when seeing an old friend.Let's hope some of the men have a little emotion or we'll be bomb-bomb-bombing Iran just like the repugs want.This fucking macho mentality is what gets us into so much fucking trouble in the first place.

[truebrit71]

43. Apples and oranges. Nothing to do with machismo or testosterone...

..

[madmom]

44. bull shit the op said "emotional women" not being suitable for the job...

now if that's not talking about machismo what is? because we all know you can't be taken seriously if you cry.

[truebrit71]

46. Sorry, but it is NOT bullshit...HRC is running for quite possibly the toughest job on the planet..

..and her tearing up is a HUGE issue..both as it relates to her being a phony, and as being seen as too "weak"...

That's the way it is...

[madmom]

67. JUST BECAUSE YOU CRY DOES NOT MAKE YOU WEAK!!! it shows emotion

we need people who will show emotion, (it shows they care) as opposed to hard hearted dick cheney type people!

[ieoeja]

25. The current CnC cries all the time. So did Bill and Poppy. n/t

[jenmito]

30. Was it today at her "roundtable" thing where she's wearing that yellow jacket? I knew, from the

little bit they showed of her on CNN, that she was going to fit in a "cry" at some point. I could tell from her tone from the beginning that sooner or later she'd end up doing this-the new "sympathetic" Hillary. And now they're reporting it on CNN. :eyes:

[TexasObserver]

51. Yeah, one day she'll be watching Brokeback Mountain and burst into tears

which will roll down the side of the couch and short out the nuclear football.

Oh, pleeeeeze!

Oh, and "brit" uses a capital "B"

Hillary is not done.

[andyrowe]

65. Don't you mean I'm pleased to welcom you to my ignore list?

You're not adding yourself to his ignore list.

I dunno. This is not something to attack Clinton for. I condemn the attacks on her emotion as an Obama supporter and member of The Chorus of Optimists.

[KitchenWitch]

68. I voted for Edwards

I completely disagree with the attacks on Hillary Clinton for showing emotions.

I wish I could add myself to his iggy list.

:D

[truebrit71]

72. Glad to oblige! Your wish is my command!

BTW, Edwards was my first choice too...

[truebrit71]

71. ROFL!!! "You're not adding yourself to his ignore list."

Actually they are!!!

:rofl:

[andyrowe]

74. I've never ignored anyone.

I assumed if I wanted to, there'd be a list I control to which I would add the person I'd like to ignore. So if I want to ignore someone, I actually add myself to their ignore list? Seems backward.

[KitchenWitch]

[Alizaryn]

76. I support Obama BUT her crying seemed like a very

human response to her old mentor's praise.

[AZBlue]

79. This is calculated and obvious and I lost respect for her.

The first time I was willing to say it was genuine and spontaneous. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. But, regardless, she saw a bump in popularity from it so here, the day before Super Tuesday, she brings it out again. Shameful - not for crying but for being so unmistakably manipulative.

[mzmolly]

80. She got emotional, and teared up. I did not see any crying.

MEN get emotional regularly as well, it's human.

[HughMoran]
