    She is such a worthless tool! I hope no one on the planet believes that crap! Of what I have seen of her, I trust and think some people at McDonalds have more class and loyalty. If she makes it in it will be the end of the US as we know it.

    Everyone who is against HRC usually points to her support of the approval of funding for the War as her weakest moment, and they often turn to Obama to say, "Wow.... He's the only one who didn't personally support it and was against it seven years ago....."

    Yes. It's convenient now for this to be the way this spins as most Americans are now significantly opposed to the War. However, at the time, the public and HRC included supported the War because of the "Bush Bureacracy" and how it fed layers and layers of information to the public to support the war. Attempts were often made to question some of the data, and the few that did publicly at the time were outcasted as dissenters of America and its freedoms we have.

    I find it amazing that no one is questioning the fact that the data initially provided, but later determined to be false, should have been true. And given this fact, it's odd no one is questioning why Obama could have possibly been against the War when it started. The reason is experience. He's polished enough to talk to the cameras and inspire the youth who have no idea or concept why the war even started. But if his failure to support the war had been coupled with REAL TRUTHS and if those TRUTHS were what we believed them to be at the time, we'd be in a world of chaos with rogue states. I'm certain no one would be jumping for joy that he failed to have such insight....

    Hillary is a phony. 100 media people to 16 voters, 14 of whom are women. This was a staged media event, with the fawning Newsweek correspondant on hand to chonicile "The Moment".

    Are you kidding me? Those are the tears of someone who thought she was to be handed the keys to the oval office. But has just realized that this will never ever happen.

    wow, how transparent can she get?? does she think we don't remember John Edwards telling us how everyting is so "Personal" to him throughout that entire debate the other night? Now ALL OF A SUDDEN, this is SO personal to her! get outta here with that... we don't buy that or those phony tears.

    This is like crying to get out of a ticket. Use whatever is available to you and if that doesn't work, try something else. If a leader is going to cry over this, what's going to happen in a real crisis while meeting with world leaders??? Is shedding tears going to persuade other leaders or is it going to make our leadership look weak and vulnerable?

    I have not decided who to vote for yet, and I'm not against female leadership. There are a lot of women out there that can run circles around our male leaders with their brains and smarts. It would be nice to see her use her brain instead of tears to persuade voters. The heat isn't even on yet..... that doesn't come until she would be in office. She just moved down a notch in my opinion and others I've talked to also. Buck up Hillary!

      Your and persons you've spoken to are the ones that need to do research and "BUCK UP". Bush has cried on National TV approximately three times when I watched the news.

      • Posted By: morales620 @ 01/08/2008 12:32:53 AM

        When during 911 attacks, I was crying watching those Americans jump out of windows that pissed me off! The whole nation was crying. Please explain when, where, and why for the other two times.

  • Posted By: ttomcatt @ 01/08/2008 12:28:22 AM

    wow, i think it seems VERY curious that a couple of days after that debate where John Edwards spent the entire night telling us how very "personal" every thing is to him... NOW all of a sudden this is SO personal to Hillary. Yeah right, we don't buy that or those phony tears.

    I have great respect for Obama as a public speaker and he seems full of idealism.
    I am an independent leaning on Democratic values.However, the presidency is the top job, not a pr position. If Democrats are too stupid and choose Obama over Hillary (who is the best candidate in my opinion, despite the fact that yes, she is not as likeable as Obama), my vote will go to Bloomberg or a Republican if that Republican has experience. I watched the debates and there is no substance for Obama. I would not hire someone inexperienced to run my company or work for them, so why would I elect a president that way?

      While I'm obviously more moderate Republican than anything else (and have seen through the Clintons for 15 years) I do respect the fact that you give this issue some thought, bring up good points and can be objective unlike many other Dem-leaning folks with whom I try to discuss things intelligently. They generally are "sheep" following a shepherd and not independent thinkers.

    This is exactly what our country does NOT need..a potential leader tearing up on national television. What happens when she has to declare war on a nation of millions? imagine the river she will cry then. Save the tears for Lifetime movie night hilary, we need nerves of steel out of our leader. The role of President is not to make heartfelt speeches and tear up in front of the public, it is to maintain composure when all else around is falling apart, not to reveal sentimental weakness to the world.

  • Posted By: formerjudge @ 01/08/2008 12:23:33 AM

    the smerk on bush is always real. we finaly have someone that expresses emotion and compassion and you still don't get it.

  • Posted By: natedizzel49 @ 01/08/2008 12:22:52 AM

    This is exactly what we do NOT need as a country...our future "leader" shedding tears in front of the nation. Just imagine the river she will cry if she ever needs to declare war on a nation. Boo hoo hilary, whats next, group hug sessions? Save the tears for Lifetime movies with your daughters. We need nerves of steel to steer the country through the next 8 years, not sentimental feelings on display.

    Hilliary should quit trying to be the President of he United States and become an actress. After all she has fooled many people for many years and despite her communistic belief's still is capable of mesmerizing those that are too ignorant to see past the truth in their hopes of having a woman for a President. One should vote for the person and not the party and do so very carefully. arkansawhillbilly Go Huckabee!

      I agree with you, i wonder how many of these people posting against Hillary voted for Bush there is nothing wrong with a person tearing up but as rumors go everyone has her crying croc tears wake up, she is tired and as any woman knows when you get overtired you get more emotional, blame it on our female genes, i am 71 years old and i have never seen the country in the shape is in now, thanks to a MAN Go Hillary Go!!!!!!!

    Another theatrical ploy from the merchants of B.S. during election time.

  • Posted By: cvk1812 @ 01/07/2008 4:03:53 PM

    Heh. It's all out war now. She's gonna use everything she has, including tears to try to bring Obama down. The people called her cold and calculating. Well, she's gonna turn on the waterworks to prove it ain't so. I wonder where the tears were when she voted for Bush's war in Iraq.

    • Posted By: PubKid @ 01/08/2008 12:21:14 AM

      Everyone always wants to talk about how Hillary Clinton voted for Bush's war when it started. Let's not forget the time period we all lived in then. Bush and his generals (including Colin Powell, who was exceptional until he sold out to the Bush Bureacracy), misled the public with false information. At the time, shortly after 911, the American public approved of Bush's foreign policy desicisions in alarming amounts. She, like nearly all members of Congress, initially supported a War that the American public largely supported given the circumstances of the deaths in NYC along with intelligence that GWB provided to the American public. To sit back now, years later, and claim she's at fault for getting us into this war is hypocritcal since the very people likely claimed she didn't support him enough immediately afterward for no other reason than she was a Democrat.... And years, Democrats have been labeled as "soft on crime" or "foreign policy."

      The fact that she supported the approval of funds for the war at the time it started, when Obama says he's one of the few who didn't support it is convenient now in hindsight. However, he, like all of us who were alive during that time period, were advised of "truths" that were expected to be true... and not lies. Truths that were initially questioned, examined and deemed to be true by generals like Powell and Rumsfeld. Given that those truths should have been true, the fact that Obama didn't support the war at that time only shows luck now, 7 years later. At the time, and even now, it shows how little he does understand the big picture. If the truths we thought were true were actually true and he failed to take any action like he now conveniently says would be the case, our economy might not as be as bad as GWB has caused it to become with his out of control spending on defense, but it would likely be fending off rouge states around the world.

      Just something for everyone to think about when they say Obama is so intelligent. Again, if all the data were true as it was presented, he should have supported the war.... not been against it.

      Nice try - maybe she should be nominated for a Grammy Award

      • Posted By: jmr898 @ 01/07/2008 5:16:14 PM

        This is really not that big of a deal. Could Hillary do ANYTHING right now that wouldn't be turned around to reflect "her desperation" in the media? No, that is exciting- that sells. Sometimes people get emotional and politicians are always trying to manipulate a vote out of us. Again, this is not a big deal. And if Iowa and the media are going to determine this election then, well, that's just pathetic.

      • Posted By: itsagoodday @ 01/07/2008 4:58:55 PM

        Why, can she sing?

  • Posted By: michelemmason @ 01/08/2008 12:21:11 AM

    How does she get out of the door? Are you kidding me? Like she doesn't have 15 people around her every waking moment doing everything from fixing her hair to holding her cell phone. I do not think for one second and neither should anyone else, that Hillary Clinton has a real true moment in her entire body. She was probably crying because she was LOSING!!! I wonder how many lamps she threw across the room the night of the Iowa caucus? Temper, temper Hill!

    Maybe she is trying for the sympathy vote. Maybe she needs more money from all her corporate lobbist friends. Maybe she is crying because she doesn't still think she can buy the election. She is a phony as a 3 dollar bill.

      LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL wow that was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I can't see how Hillary's display today could possibly help her, at least not with anyone who is undecided.

  • Posted By: Mary1976 @ 01/08/2008 12:16:33 AM

    I can't see how her display this afternoon can 'help' her, at least not with anyone who is undecided.
