Mrs. Clinton seems to be milking the crying thing for all it's worth.

Knowing who she is, how she works and the timing, it's a tad hard to give her any benefit of the doubt...even though I might feel like doing the same thing, given the topic of wounded vets.

Try to keep it in your pants, and stop hoping that you'll get as big a rise out of people as you think you do/will.

We'll see who's crying on November 5, 2008.

(Resist the troll bait, people.)

Yea, resist it cause clearly you failed at it as usual.

I heard Rick Emerson making fun of her for this the other day. All I can say is that she will not be winning an Oscars any time soon.

She's obviously frantic in pulling out the crying card. I've heard plenty of women who were disgusted, because it makes Hillary look so conniving.

Herb

Doesnt matter now, Obabma clearly has the momentum. Let the bitch cry all she wants. Maybe she can try to remind us again that she is a women, I mean its so hard to tell with her.

I'm not a big fan of Hilary but I do respect her as a woman.

However Mc74 I am struggling with calling you a compassionate human being.

Somehow, I can't imagine Ghandi or Golda Meir crying, because someone said something bad about them. They might kick them in the balls, or send some big guy, to explain the situation. Like when someone said something about Harry Trumans daughter.

"..I can't imagine Ghandi or Golda Meir crying..."

Or Margaret Thatcher, either.

Herb

"...but I do respect her as a woman."

Chris.

With all due sincerity, what in heavens does that even mean?

Herb

Should we here on this board respect you as a man Herb?
I'm just sayin'....

"Should we here on this board respect you as a man Herb?"

My point exactly. But I'm open to hearing Chris out on this. Perhaps I'm missing his intent.

Herb

I am guilty of ambiguity Herb and you caught me dead to rights.

I didn't like Mc74s usage of the word bitch to descibe a senator of the US Government. I may have strong disagreements with our President but I do offer respect to the office he holds.

Who cares. Turn on Air America and listen to Mike Malloy. You will hear him call the President of this country far worse things then a bitch.

I don't listen to talk radio of any kind because of that very kind of language. It's divisive.

I got better things to do with my time and entertainment choices.

"Who cares. Turn on Air America and listen to Mike Malloy. You will hear him call the President of this country far worse things then a bitch."

So, the basest individuals in society set your standard of behavior? The "others have done worse" defense is lame no matter who uses it.

No kidding! Since when did this go from an open forum to the land of jock itch and cigars? C'mon, that old misogyny tune is not worthy of our time.

If Hillary is crying with the wounded from a war that she feels like shit for voting to approve, maybe it is further evidence that she is motivated in the right direction. Oh, but this isn't about her as a person, is it? Is she merely a persona filling in for mommy or all the women who scare you?

If you hate women, that is sad, but keep it to yourself. If you hate the fact that you do not have a woman, trashing all of those assembled is poor practice for reality. Temporarily breaking that pattern of lashing out for a cutie will not get you laid. Women know.

Tough guys and gals do not cry? Any Dad and Mom worth two damns cried at least a little when their kids were born. Any veteran who made it safely when so many others did not cried at least a little to be home.

This is a non-thread with non-answers to nonsense. Thanks to those who provided perspective or at least a laugh.

Herb, Okie, Mc4:

Would Ghandi, Mier, and Thatcher be "bitches" if they "kick(ed) them (detractors) in the balls"?

Or is it more "bitch"-like to "send some big guy" to do it for them?

(And I assume there will be tears, but most likely they will not be coming from the "bitches")

Chris-We agree that calling people swear words is not good.

Better to use words that accurately describe a particular unsavoury behaviour like 'power-hungry,' 'conniving' or 'mean-spirited.'

Those kinds of terms can apply to men or women.

Herb

I am no Hillary fan, but I would rather have a president who is willing to cry in public than one who gets joy in making others cry, ie, the Shrub.

And it is funny, that a crying Hillary is really the only thing folks like Herbster can keep attacking her for.

"...a crying Hillary is really the only thing folks like Herbster can keep attacking her for."

You wish.

KEEP IT UP Herb.....

Defend her all you want, Mr. democrat.

Herb

I'm the one that has said MANY TIMES on here but I guess you don't read. Did you miss all those classes in school or what? Is you IQ lower than 65????
If Hillary is elected I'm moving to SWITZERLAND! I don't know how many more times I have to say that??? I wouldn't vote for her is she was the only one on the ballot! Is that clear or should I simpleton it for YOU a little bit more?
If you continue to beat the living shit out of her and the American public hears/sees it your going to get what you don't want out of sympathy for her. So keep it up Herb! Keep it up.
Mr. FASCIST

Maybe I should pull an Ann Coulter and say that voting for McCain is little different than voting for Mrs. Clinton.

Herb

That MIGHT score you some points in America Herb until your EXTREME RIGHT views that America is so pushing aside in HUGE numbers comes out.

Most of us would agree on that!

Too bad all YOUR insistence on giving Hillary a bad time EVERY day of EVERY week will back fire on you. The American people are sick and tired of your EXTREME RIGHT bashing. It's getting the country NOWHERE! DUHbya wanted to be a UNITER and NOT a divider???? Look at what he gave us! POLARIZED America.
Keep bashing away and YOUR persistence will get the one WE don't want, elected President!
JUST KEEP IT UP!

Oh. Ok. It's not OK to bash Hillary, just Bush.

I understand now.

I won't bash Hillary any more. I won't bash Hillary any more. I won't bash Hillary any more. I won't bash Hillary any more. I won't bash Hillary any more. I won't bash Hillary any more. I won't bash Hillary any more. I won't bash Hillary any more. I won't bash Hillary any more. I won't bash Hillary any more. I won't bash Hillary any more. I won't bash Hillary any more.










NOT

Just make it defensible and it's all good!

(seriously)

"If Hillary is elected I'm moving to SWITZERLAND"

I just might vote for her now...

Trixter - Hillary in office, I am afraid, would mean MORE of the polarized America. There would not only be polarization with the Republicans, but I feel a big split in her own party. There seems to be one forming now in the Democratic party.

Based on that alone, Hillary would be bad news. Obama is the MUCH better choice.

We don't need any more dynasty's in this country when it comes to the US presidency!

We don't need anymore polarizing presidents!

No more Clinton's and No more Bush's is that too much to ask?

And don't get me wrong I love the Clintons. However we don't need any more divisiviness in this country than we already have!!!

"No more Clinton's and No more Bush's is that too much to ask?"

You left out 'No more Nixons,' so I'm with you 100%.

Herb

The first incarnation of Bush and Clinton were actually not very divisive at all. The Republicans made it an issue when they went to impeach Bill Clinton when he stuck his hee-hee in Lewinsky's hoo-hoo. Clinton, in turn, did a fantastic job getting a lot done working with a Republican-led Congress.

Bush II has been one of the most polarizing figures in the history of our nation. Hillary will continue that path, just from the left instead of the right.

Is this what we all REALLY want?

Much as I disagree with him on some things I could live with Mr. Obama.

Mrs. Clinton would guarantee a republican backlash, a la the Contract With America.

Herb

I don't look back on Bush the 1st as a messy administration. Which left me wondering what Hillary meant about " It took a Clinton to clean up things after the first Bush - maybe it'll take another Clinton to clean up the second Bush." I mean...what? What mess from Bush the first?

She was just overly eager to use that line in a debate. And so she did. Yeah. Neat. Uhhh, what is she talking about?

Bush Sr. sadly was stuck with Reagan's deficit. He never had a fair chance.

"Which left me wondering what Hillary meant about " It took a Clinton to clean up things after the first Bush - maybe it'll take another Clinton to clean up the second Bush.""

Hillary could only dream about being the President her husband was.

What, dreaming about an intern on his knees with a cigar

Really? (and I mean about being as good of a President.)

I liked Bill Clinton. Didn't care about the sex thing --that was a personal transgression --a weakness that was played up way too much. However, as a President, he was a mix of good and bad.

Helped a lot people out. No question. His foreign policy efforts were solid too.

But, he did continue the move toward aggressive deregulation and signed off on pretty questionable legislation. (DMCA, etc...)

All in all, there is plenty of room for improvement. So, what puts Hilary Clinton behind the 8 ball here?

"So, what puts Hilary Clinton behind the 8 ball here?"

Bill Clinton seemingly took the high road when it came to mudslinging and that from the Republicans. When he was called out to the carpet after a largely dismal first two years in office after the Republican Revolution, he swore to work WITH them and he did in spades.

Hillary divides her own party in a lot of ways. How is she going to unite TWO parties in what is best for the United States of America?

"...Reagan's deficit..."

Oh, you mean the one that democrats were finally convinced to sign off on, which helped us defeat a dastardly communist empire, whilst freeing hundreds of millions of virtually imprisoned souls?

Herb

Yeah. That one.

Now put your Superhero cape back in the trunk. You look ridiculous.

The war in Afghanistan killed the Soviet Union, not the U.S. deficit, which was not a militarily created as this one.

The Soviet economy and will was drained by that war.

Sound familiar?

"If Hillary is elected I'm moving to SWITZERLAND"

I just might vote for her now...

If nobody in Switzerland is like you, me and my family will be there tomorrow!

"The Soviet economy and will was drained by that war."

Not quite. The Soviet Union was bankrupt in many ways. Read any book by Aleksandr Solzhenitzen who spent time in their gulags.

Mr. Reagan's Star Wars helped push them over the brink, as they knew they couldn't compete.

Nice try, though.

Herb

Talk to any credible scientist and the Star Wars defense system was unachievable. Reagan was able to hold that card real close.

Mr. Reagan's Star Wars.

That was a MISREBLE failure! Costing America TRILLIONS and still isn't working!

Right on cue to bash another pro-freedom republican, Trixter.

Are you using tactics out of The Communist Manifesto, or is it Das Kapital?

Herb

Ok people, let's focus!

We've got one here:

Hillary divides her own party in a lot of ways. How is she going to unite TWO parties in what is best for the United States of America?

So, she is more divisive than Bill was.

Any other things to support, "Hilary hope to be the President her Husband was?"

Let's pretend we are collecting these up for show, ok?

Are you using tactics out of The Communist Manifesto, or is it Das Kapital?

I figured that was YOUR game with a twist of Fascism....
