I know, right? Wasn't it nauseating the way she actually got emotional while expressing her love for her country? Ughh... It wasn't like she was Bush last month presenting the Medal of Freedom posthumously to a young Navy Seal's family (while, one hopes reflecting on the fact that it was Bush himself who is directly responsible for the Navy Seal's death).
But remember, he skipped golf to do it.
That's gotta count for something.
give me a break meso, she cried because she was in a meeting with 15 women. Not because was emotionally talking about her "love" for this country. You can bet money that if she was giving that same talk to a group of the "hard working middle class whites" that tears would be nowhere in sight, but I bet a shot of liquor and a nice cold beer would impress the workers wouldn't it?
As I've said before, from state to state and group to group Hillary changes her persona just to get votes.

--You don't have a very high opinion of women, do you? She allowed herself to tear up because she thought a female audience (it wasn't all women, btw) would be less inclined to judge her? That's interesting considering that most of the vitriol I've seen spewed at her comes from women. So you think just she got lucky that day and her Secret Service detail, the restaurant employees, and press were all female, too? lol
Meso i think very highly of women, so don't try to paint me as a chauvinistic pig, cause thats not the case. But do you honestly think its just a coincidence that the only time she cried was at a meeting with all women? Clinton loves to brag about how shes some tough fighter who will never give up, does breaking down and crying fit that persona? Absolutely not. But given her audience she though it might get her some votes. Don't be naive and think that that stunt wasn't for vote. Just like her act with her fake southern accent, that time she took a "shot" and "drank" a beer with the middle class, that time she was a bible thumper in WV etc. As I've said before, her persona changes depending on the group of people shes talking to. It wasn't only when she was talking to feminists, its whenever shes talking to a specific group.
-- I don't think it was a coincidence at all. I think there were numerous factors involved. Unlike the majority of her campaign stops, this was a smaller, more intimate gathering and the vibe was clearly much different from what it it would be if she were instead somewhere answering questions being shouted to her from the back row of a packed school gym. Someone who was standing in the background of the group she was addressing asked the question and the kind and sensitive nature of the question apparently caught her off guard.
"My question is very personal, how do you do it?" asked Marianne Pernold Young, a freelance photographer from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. She mentioned Clinton's hair and appearance always looking perfectly coifed. "How do you, how do you keep upbeat and so wonderful?"

You mean like how McCain voted to make English the official language and then put up an all Spanish campaign web site to try to suck up to Latinos for votes.
