Nathan Moore's Thoughts
Hillary’s Campaign Trail of Tears
Hillary Clinton sheds tears on the trail
“My question is very personal, how do you do it?” asked Marianne Pernold Young, a freelance photographer from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. “How do you, how do you keep upbeat and so wonderful?” Clinton began responding, jokingly: “You know, I think, well luckily, on special days I do have help. If you see me every day and if you look on some of the websites and listen to some of the commentators they always find me on the day I didn’t have help. It’s not easy.” Then Clinton began getting emotional: “It’s not easy, and I couldn’t do it if I didn’t passionately believe it was the right thing to do. You know, I have so many opportunities from this country just don’t want to see us fall backwards,” she said. Then, her voice breaking and tears in her eyes, she said, “You know, this is very personal for me. It’s not just political it’s not just public. I see what’s happening, and we have to reverse it.”
Uh, okay. She cries because she cares about being president so much. This sort of emotional frailty alone practically disqualifies her from the presidency.
UPDATE Over the last twenty-four hours, many apparently sensitive lefty sites have accumulated a virtual record of crying Republican men. Here’s the difference with Hillary – she’s crying on the campaign trail, because she’s talking about her campaign. If she was crying about how proud she was of Chelsea, I wouldn’t think anything of it.
Besides, it didn’t work. Internal polling must have shown a negative public reaction – she was back to her old screeching self in a matter of hours. So much for emotional frailty.

If her cry was not a fake, then my conclusion would be that she doesn’t have the stomach to be Commander-in-Chief. It’s just ordinary campaign and she couldn’t endure a little down-trend; I wonder what she’ll do if confronted with a crisis or terrorist attack.
No wonder she doesn’t want to talk to any of our enemies in her first year in office. She needed more time to be seasoned to be commander-in-chief.
She’ll cry before Chavez, Castro, etc., if confronted with a difficult situation or when they said a mean thing to her like Chavez insulted GWB at the UN.
Hillary is a wonderful New York Senator and should hurry back to her senatorial job.
I sympathize with her though, having all these 35 years experience and not having a chance to rule the kingdom for another 8 years, afterall it’s her turn. We owe the White House to Hill for sticking with Bill during the impeachment saga.
Oh, “I have so many ideas for this country, I just don’t want to see us fall backwards,” she said
Well, when the American people dogged into Hillary’s bag of ideas, all they found were:
• Hillary Authorized GWB to invade Iraq;
• Hillary has also given GWB a pass to invade Iran anytime Dick Cheney wishes;
• She’s the inevitable candidate;
• She copied John Edwards Health Care Plan;
• She doesn’t know how to enforce her version of Edwards plan’s MANDATE to achieve universal coverage;
• She doesn’t know whether illegal should be given driver’s license or not;
• She doesn’t have a clue that very soon no money would be left in the Social Security Trust Fund;
• She doesn’t trust herself capable of confronting our enemies in a negotiation;
• She ask Bill to give us NAFTA;
• She champions the cause of the lobbyists telling us that they are well meaning Americans.;
• And she couldn’t answer a simple question but instead planted questions.

crying is to the machismo, a sign of weakness; but to women, it can always be a sigh of relief. i dont think this country recognizes that liberty and freedom can be feminine as well.

Crying is fine in the right context – but not because of how hard the campaign has been…I can just imagine what your average Islamic terrorist will think if she’s elected – this would make great propaganda.
