The Woman Who Would Be President Acts Like the Little Girl She Is
Hillary Clinton (D-NY) is now acting like Pat Schroeder (D-CO) did 20 years earlier. She has spent her whole career making the case for why she ought to be President. She even had a big lead and lots of money and the media treating her with kid gloves.
Now that Barack Obama (D-IL) has overtaken her, she has taken to crying like the little girl that she is.
Woman leader, my ass. She is not fit to work in Margaret Thatcher’s laundry room.

Give me a break.
You didn’t think that was real, did you? Her crying was as phony as the Arkansas accent she developed as First Lady of that state in in the 1980s.
The real Hillary is colder than the North Pole and tougher than titanium, and more of a man than Chuck Norris, and everybody knows it.
The sad thing is that she thinks people will buy yet more fakery from someone named Clinton.
Ron Paul 2008!
Real or not, she’s still playing the whiney girlie card.
If she were for real she’d be acting more like Margaret Thatcher, Golda Meir, Indira Gahndhi, or–at worst–Benazir Bhutto. She has shown that she has no courage.
That she got all bent out of shape when double-teamed by Obama and Edwards says it all.
But yeah…I’m with you on Ron Paul. I switched to GOP so I can vote for him in the primary.
i’m definitely NOT a hilary fan. however, i have to say something here. women are different creatures than men. if it was fake, well, that’s lame. but if it was real, then fine, she cried. she didn’t freak out, she didn’t storm out, she didn’t blow up, she simply welled up with emotion. in my opinion, if that’s real, it’s a good thing.
all that being said, i don’t like hilary and will not vote for her.
S/C: Doesn’t matter. If she gets all bent out of shape over being down in the polls, how the heck is she going to handle a real crisis?
Furthermore, she has been trying to have it both ways. She has been attempting to make the case for her toughness while playing the “gender card”.
Margaret Thatcher didn’t do that.
Neither did Golda Meir.
Nor did Indira Gandhi.
Neither, for that matter, did Bhutto.
Those 4 prevailed in cultures every bit as difficult–and more so–than ours. And none of them played the gender card.
In fact, Thatcher was one of the 4 great leaders of the 1980s who helped win the Cold War.
Meir provided the steely leadership to win the Yom Kippur war, perhaps the greatest military comeback in history. (She did, however, get a great assist from Moshe Dayan.)
Ergo, Hillary gets no slack from me.
ok fine. so the other four never cried on camera. at least, not to our knowledge. that doesn’t mean that crying on camera is an awful thing. and why can’t she have it both ways? women are both tough and emotional. i’m more worried about how she’s gone off on foul-mouthed rants in the past.
besides, i don’t think hils ‘played the gender card.’ she didn’t say ‘i get special treatment, i’m a woman’ (at least not about this past incident). she got teary. it happens. her softer side is showing. she’s either trying to play us, or perhaps she was over-tired, or just felt passionately about what she was saying. i don’t know.
it’s dumb to argue about this!
S/C: The issue is not whether she cries on camera, but rather the issue which triggers it.
We’re not talking about some catastrophic event, like 9/11; we’re talking about a Presidential candidate trailing an opponent in a primary. Hardly a matter over which to get teary-eyed.
She has not refrined from playing the gender card and even the victim card during this election season, practices that strike me as quite juvenile.
You want examples?

Even the Democratic strategists commenting on this agreed.
Here’s another example, where House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) even conceded that Hillary was playing the gender card.
