Did we see Mrs. McCain's tears after S.C.? Teresa's re. Swiftboating???

[DeepModem Mom]

Sorry for a separate thread, but I'm so sick and tired of these people and their double standard I could puke! How many more examples can you give of people on our side savaged by Bush/Rove savagery? But that's always okay. That's always smart politics, or "brilliance," or sins committed on the part of Democrats. If this woman can't deal with a hearing involving an opposition party -- if she wants a one-party fascist state like those on that side seem to want -- then stay away from the god**amn hearing!!!

If Rove didn't orchestrate this crap, it's because he somehow failed to come up with the idea.

[blm]

1. Strip it all down and the hypocrisy is SO THERE it's stunning.

.

[chelsea0011]

2. When did Hillary cry? Was she President? I agree with you and

could care less about any repukes.

[DeepModem Mom]

3. And Chelsea.

[AlCzervik]

7. damn right, they were horrible to her and i never heard anybody on

the other side apologize for it.

[chelsea0011]

9. Damned straight!

[oasis]

19. If she would have cried, the Rethugs would have backed off of Bill.

The heartless GOP :grr:

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

4. There's no crying in neocon theocracies! There's no crying!

Spot on with your OP.:thumbsup:

[ronnykmarshall]

5. Wha happen??

Did Alito's wife start bawling?

[DeepModem Mom]

8. Left the Hearing Room in tears. In a holding room...

and probably won't be back. Lindsey Graham was referencing Dems' questions, and apologizing.

[Bjornsdotter]

12. She was crying?

There's no crying in politics....okay maybe there is. I know I'll cry if Alito gets the nod.

Sorry, no sympathy for her....I've seen too many smirks from her these last 3 days.

Cheers!

[Joe for Clark]

6. You have a good thread.

Good point, too.

[oasis]

10. She's reflecting on how many times she's heard her Sammy use the "N-word"

when they were by themselves.

[spanone]

11. CNN did everything but call it a Breaking News.

[DeepModem Mom]

13. Wolf called it "poignant." BS!

[baldguy]

14. Martha Alito was there for the sole purpose of tearing up for the MSM.

[Ksec]

15. You got it.

You can hear the venom all day long against us and ours. Now Im supposed to be compassionate when the tables get turned a bit. Not gonna do it.

[oasis]

16. If only Hillary would have cried. No impeachment. (eom)

:eyes:

[TallahasseeGrannie]

17. Okay

I don't have a problem with the woman crying. It is very intense and she didn't ask for it. But what I do have a problem with is the MSM turning it around in such a way it makes it seem Alito was brutally savaged by the committee.

Nothing wrong with crying...was it Boxer or Pelosi who cried when 2004 was finalized? I cried too.

[FreedomAngel82]

41. Oh please

Where was she crying when Kennedy was talking about the ten year old girl being stripped searched? She had the most smug look the whole time.

[malaise]

18. Maybe, just maybe

someone told her she's at the bottom of the best dressed list - ah fugg her. WTF do her tears have to do with appointing a Judge. Did Mrs Gore cry after they stole the election? Teresa Kerry? Fugg them. Quite frankly I found it:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
CNN about to show it again.

[politicaholic]

20. You should have seen the low-blow smear of Anne Richards...

Man, anyone who would go as low as they did would eat their own children for a vote.

Bush is noooo Christian. Not any type that I've ever seen.

[DeepModem Mom]

21. That's right, Gov. Richards. And Max Cleland.

[AnneD]

27. That smearing of

Ann Richards is what put Rove on my radar-been following him ever since. I hope he is either tarred and feathered or they slap his tender pink ass in a prison cell with Big Bad Bubba. He is absolutely vicious.

[noamnety]

22. if she's that upset

by her husband being called a liar or a bigot or someone who values money over people, she should have chosen her spouse with a bit more care.

[hatrack]

23. Ollie North, redux - Americans just LOVE Moist Television Moments

After all, what better than great steaming gouts of emotion that allow us to abandon all thought and context, and revel in the simmering thrills of the moist-eyed Marine Colonel, the surviving spouse or the weepy political wife.

The only people who love such moments more are the Telewhores who get to dress them up as news and run them in non-stop loops until all rational thought is banished from our national Kabuki performance.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

24. I only take exception with your saying that Mrs. McCain is on our side. If

she was, she would have divorced her husband the first time he hugged the shrub after shrub's posse tore her to shreds.

[DeepModem Mom]

25. You have a point. I don't see how McCain...

as husband to that woman, and father to their kids, could have been in W's presence ever again without knocking out his lights, much less given him support.

[AnneD]

28. I liked McCain and would have voted for him (against Bush).....

but that hug from Bush (turned my stomach) and later the birthday party (made me puke) just totally turned me off.

[moondust]

26. An Eva Braun moment.

Poor Adolph is so persecuted. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[applegrove]

29. That is what I was thinking. That couple backs a party that smears &

lies and bullies and plays psychological games on their enemies. At least she gets to face the opposition to her husband in an up-front way.

[blossomstar]

30. sick also of the double standards... it is sooooo planned.. it reeks ROVE!

[robbedvoter]

31. Cried during praises - smirked during attacks. Lindsay was a coach

of her hubby - how far do we need to go to see they planned this one?

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

37. Whoa! That's significant. Didn't she start crying when he talked?

Sonofabitch! If that's true, then it is absolutely staged!

[robbedvoter]

38. Indeed she did. See this additional info

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2362645
Reminds me of the crocodile tears over Kerry breaking the news that Dick's daughter was gay....

[ananda]

32. Well..

.. if I was married to someone as duddy and horrible as Alito,
I'd be in tears too.. only all the time.

[boobooday]

33. I doubt if Valerie Wilson cried

But imagine how she felt when her career was ended by Rove?

Imagine all the tears shed by the mothers of soldiers, and the families of the Iraqis who have been killed in Bush's war?

And we're supposed to feel sorry for this woman?

Perhaps she should swim for a while in the river of tears created by BushCo.

[VolcanoJen]

34. It's really burning my ass, though.

Why? Because this shit is IMPORTANT!! Supreme Court Justices are important! It MATTERS who they are. It will affect EVERYONE. I feel sometimes like I have to grab my coworkers by the neck and shake them to make them understand the IMPORTANCE, but nobody gets it.

I'll bet you anything that everyone will be talking about Mrs. Blubbers tomorrow, though. See, THAT'S something they can UNDERSTAND. It's a SOAP OPERA. It's a TV REALITY SHOW about NOTHING. It's SIMPLE and RELATIVELY ENTERTAINING. Look, the meanie politicans MADE THAT NICE WOMAN CRY. That's something the people I know can wrap their brains around.

You're spot-on about Rove. Nice play, Karl. I'm actually quite impressed.

[jasmeel]

35. I'm irritated that she's even present! What the fuck. Are we supposed

to give him an easy time because his family is there? Fuck that-this is the future of our nation! She and her coaches just took it to a new level. I hope the dems dont give in to her completely obvious manipulation.

[cosmicdot]

39. "this is the future of our nation!" -- that's exactly right-on

Sorry, Martha-Ann Bomgardner Alito ... it's not about you ... it's about our Nation, our Founding Principles, our citizens, and future ... just knowing that this nomination, as have all the federal court nominations since 2001, has been made, not by the will of the people, but through usurped power makes it all the more vital ... this is the whole enchilada ...

my message to my senators: NO MORE life-time appointments for this fraudulent, corrupt, treasonous, untrustworthy, etc., administration ... period

[jasmeel]

36. The video of her crying is up on CNN right now. GAWD!!!

She goes from 0 to crying in like 5 seconds. I guarantee this will affect future questions from senators. Fuck!

http://www.cnn.com/

[FreedomAngel82]

40. Right

They were so mean to Mrs. McCain and she could've easily cried but I never heard about her doing so in public. She probably did privatley I'm sure (I know I would have) but not public I've never heard/read. I saw an interview briefly with her and she was asked about all the smearing on her and she didn't sniffle or anything like that. She was actually pretty brave. Same with Teresa.

[jillan]

42. I believe Teresa's response to all the crap was

SHOVE IT

Democratic woman are tough.
