Women are crying right now because their children are cold and hungry

[blm]

and there is less chance for them to make ends meet with heating bills rising faster than their meager paychecks can cover.

Does CNN want to talk about THAT?

Add your reasons WHY women are crying tonight.

[celestia671]

1. Of course not!

They want to talk about miners, Alito, and Baby Noor!

[butterfly77]

49. I'm sending CNN that very question ?

what about the women and children,elderly,vets and others who are crying, because of dumbo's policies.

[blm]

50. CNN determines whose tears are seen and whose cries are heard.

.

[tnlefty]

2. Of course not, nor do they want to discuss the women who are crying

because their children are casualties of Bush's* war.

edited to omit a word.

[babylonsister]

3. Also, how about people STILL living in tents?

How about old people on fixed incomes who have to decide between food, medicine, or heat?
It's sickening this isn't being covered.

[robbedvoter]

4. Or are still displaced Katrina victims, or lost sons in the war or

their 10 years old daughter may have been strip searched with Alito's blessing....

[sandnsea]

5. They have no child care

And have to figure out how to meet the work requirements for low income assistance when there is nowhere to leave their children.

[FreedomAngel82]

10. Or they themselves don't have health care

This woman cries about that but you don't see me on CNN news.

[blm]

6. Or their miner husbands were killed because of a fascist agenda that

took away the safety regulations that once protected them in their work.

[Cobalt Violet]

7. Between heating bill, auto gas, and food price increases...

I'm sure there is lots of pain going around in poor and low income households.
Right after Katrina the media felt a tinge of guilt about not covering the dept of poverty in the country.
Well that didn't last. It's back to business as usual.


What poor? What hungry? What freezing?

[Lars39]

8. No healthcare for themselves or their kids.

Having to quiz a pharmacist as to what OTC stuff might work.

[BlueShoes]

9. because taking a giant step backward is painful, and

they remember when their female family members and friends died or became sterile from backalley abortions.

[applegrove]

11. Oh - it only means something if the woman dresses like you. Otherwise

the pain & loss doesn't count! No Chanel Suit - no sympathy!:sarcasm:

[Democrats_win]

12. their children were killed in bu$h's war.

[Democrats_win]

13. they have to work three jobs to pay for essentials in bu$h's failed econ.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

14. Women are crying because

they have to choose between birth control and food for their kids. There are women crying because the U.S. has allowed a fundamentalist Islamic regime to take control of both Afghanistan and Iraq. There are women crying because their sons are coming home from Iraq in bodybags via Federal Express. There are old women crying because the new prescription drug Medicare policy has left them financially short and hopelessly confused.

[maxrandb]

15. Tough, no non-sense macho Repukes once again hiding behind their

woman-folk.

Seems a little thin skinned to have a husband on the highest court in the land. Must be hell though to see your dipshit, racist, keep your woman barefoot and pregnant hubby exposed for all to see.

Cindy Sheehan cries over her lost son and she's labeled a traitor who is using her son's death to enrich herself. Mrs Alito cries because the truth is coming out about her husband, and it's labeled a passionate response to those mean old Democrats

[earth mom]

16. Women are crying because few care what happens to them or their kids....

though I care... :cry:

Let's all show we care by recommending this thread!

[Lars39]

17. Recommended. Thanks for the reminder.

[blm]

18. Or they just learned they're under surveillance for holding peace vigils

with their anti-war groups, and the media insists on protecting the authoritarians who called for the intrusion.

[Lilith Velkor]

51. um...

*psst! Most of us knew all along.*

[KoKo]

19. I'm glad that Kerry's "Trip" has resulted in exposure to these aggregious

violation of human rights. Thanks for the post and keeping up with it all.

Many Women cry tears all over the WORLD..as to what's goin on..these days.

:-(

[KoKo]

20. Kerry is GOD.....he does the "trips" Bushies don't want to do..

He's TRULY...an Embassy on Wheels. Thank! It's always amazing to me how you can keep up with this failed Presidential Contender that most Americans don't even remember.

[Straight Shooter]

21. Women are crying because their two steps forward is being pushed back.

After all these years of attempting to assert the basic human dignity of having the final say-so over our bodies, it is being taken away.

Mrs. Alito can cry me a river. Does she use birth control? It's against the Catholic Church doctrine. Frickin' hypocrite in a fancy suit.

[spooky3]

22. because they work in orgs. dominated by sexist Rethugs

and daily are subjected to everything from little slights or being ignored altogether, to big pay disparities and being under-employed.

[Cha]

23. There are women and men

still crying because they've lost their families and friends in Katrina which bush is all too responsible for..even though they and the media would like Americans to not believe is true.

[lonestarnot]

24. Or their husbands, sons and fathers have been killed in a mine, or their

sons, daughters, mothers, husbands fathers, brothers sisters are in Iraq or been killed there, or their grandparents/parents must choose between eating/ a roof over their heads or/staying warm or/ buying medication, or jobs have been lost and now they are about to loose everything, or everything has been washed away in a flood and they've been forgotten because they have lost everything and the Constitution of the United States of America has been made into just a GD piece of paper.

[blm]

25. Or because her 15yo daughter is facing an unwanted pregnancy

because there is no facility within 200 miles for the child to have a safe, legal abortion.

[AIJ Alom]

26. Yes, women are crying but they are not being disrespected or having their

reason for tears questioned on a political discussion board.

[blm]

27. This is in reply to CNN's choice to cover the story to claim that Dems

have gone too far and caused the woman to cry.

I am quite certain that point was made clear.

CNN decides which tears matter most in this world, apparently, so we're reminding them there are tears that they AREN'T giving airtime.

[AIJ Alom]

28. Then we need to set the record straight, Lindsay Graham is responsible for

her tears, not the Dems. I'll get in touch with CNN. Anyone have a clip we can send them en masse.

[KoKo]

29. Because of WAR! WAR! WAR! WAR! and what leads UP TO IT!!

Because we NEVER TALKS ABOUT "ECONOMIC ISSUES" .....and the least of us "SERVE!" and it "costs" the "rest" of us and US ALL...in the long run.

I'm making this short...don't have patience these days.

[Nictuku]

30. No woman No Cry

No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.

Said - said - said: I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown,
Oba - obaserving the ’ypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet.
Good friends we have, oh, good friends we’ve lost
Along the way.
In this great future, you can’t forget your past;
So dry your tears, I seh.

No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
’ere, little darlin’, don’t shed no tears:
No, woman, no cry.

Said - said - said: I remember when-a we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown.
And then georgie would make the fire lights,
As it was logwood burnin’ through the nights.
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge,
Of which I’ll share with you;
My feet is my only carriage,
So I’ve got to push on through.
But while I’m gone, I mean:
Everything’s gonna be all right!
Everything’s gonna be all right!
Everything’s gonna be all right!
Everything’s gonna be all right!
I said, everything’s gonna be all right-a!
Everything’s gonna be all right!
Everything’s gonna be all right, now!
Everything’s gonna be all right!

So, woman, no cry;
No - no, woman - woman, no cry.
Woman, little sister, don’t shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.

I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown.
And then georgie would make the fire lights,
As it was logwood burnin’ through the nights.
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge,
Of which I’ll share with you;
My feet is my only carriage,
So I’ve got to push on through.
But while I’m gone:

No, woman, no cry;
No, woman, no cry.
Woman, little darlin’, say don’t shed no tears;
No, woman, no cry.

Eh! (little darlin’, don’t shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.
Little sister, don’t shed no tears!
No, woman, no cry.)

31. BTW...WOMEN.....have ALWAYS ...CRIED! Only Condi and SOME

WOMEN always "get buy" linked to POWERFUL...MEN!

Or, in these "new times" Men on Men...or Women on Women. Condi might fit into either category..as far as I'm concerned. . :-(

[Gregorian]

32. Because their taxes went for bombs.

This administration is a war administration. War is not for the people. It's for the corporations. American women are seeing the fruits of their labor wasted on Bush's machines of terror.

And then their are the children of the world who are being ignored, and who are in even worse shape. They're dying. And we didn't stop their pain. We let Bush build his bombs. His ammunition buddies are making money off of our taxes.

I believe there is a hell. Life on earth can be hell for those who are suffering. But life after death is another thing.

I'm tired.

[mopaul]

33. real women out here in the real world cry for real reasons

[Tsiyu]

34. Women are crying tonight because their babies and their brothers and

their husbands are no more than sitting ducks in the midst of the chaos in Iraq that ** created for power and $$$$$


Women are crying tonight because they see the country billed "a land of opportunity" is now no more than a land run by opportunists.


Women are crying tonight because they are homeless, alone, jobless, exhausted, cold and hungry.

Mrs. Alito's crocodile tears made me laugh with derision. She hasn't the slightest regard for anyone but the rich and powerful. Why should even the first ONE of us have a twinge of regard for her?

She will go on to live a life of security and luxury, with healthcare and maids and chauffers, while the victims her husband ignores and creates
cry all over the world.

[Lars39]

[upi402]

36. no medical care

:thumbsdown:

[NMMNG]

37. They're crying because they have to work at minimum-wage service jobs

Perhaps two of them, just to make ends meet. And despite all of that work they can barely afford an adequate apartment for themselves and their children, fuel to heat it, electricity for lights and appliances, and a telephone.

They don't see enough of their children because they work so much, but if they didn't work so much they would starve on the streets. It is a catch-22.

Then they go to their jobs and get treated like human trash by the supervisors, and by the customers who consider them dirt beneath their feet. Apparently just because people work for minimum-wage (which the Republicans continually refuse to raise) they aren't worthy of human kindness. After eight or more hours on their feet they want nothing more than to go home and collapse. However they have their families to attend to, so they muster all the strength they have, put on a happy face and save their tears for bedtime.

38. k&r for truth

Many Iraqi women are crying because they lost their husband and/or children in Bush's illegal war.

[blm]

43. Send CNN a link to this thread - they can LEARN about tears of women

and address the reasons behind ALL the tears.

[WernhamHogg]

41. Women are crying because

Women are crying because on Monday, the condom her husband wore broke. When she went to get her prescription for the morning after pill filled, she received a degrading lecture from the male pharmacist. After he was done telling her that she will burn in hell, he refused to fill her prescription and there isn't another pharmacy near her home.

[blm]

42. Exactly.

.

[Gruenemann]

44. How about 10-year-old girls

crying because they've been strip-searched?

[SoCalDem]

45. Cold, hungry kids?? That's not news.

Media rarely "wants" to talk about things that can be remedied by some attention to detail. Detail is boring.. Cute missing girls are interesting..

News MUST be interesting..It must be fast..glitzy..heartstring-tugging..:puke:

[lonestarnot]

46. Because suffrage was for not.

47. children, husbands, friends lost to violence and war
