If only I could draw a cartoon. This one is just begging to be put on paper. Picture this: It's a scene of the Presidential candidates in a debate. They are each standing behind a podium, and they are all bawling like babies. Tear drops splashing everywhere! The caption reads, "Always ready to adopt the latest successful technique, the candidates open the floodgates."
That successful technique was Hillary sobbing for the cameras to prove how much she really cares for the country just prior to the New Hampshire primary. She really, really cares.
Was Hillary faking it? It looked sincere, but what do I know? I'm reminded of the time I joked to my ex about how she used to cry to get her way with me. I was just making a joke not really knowing how she would respond, but she admitted it! She had faked it!
As for Hillary, we all have to make that decision for ourselves. Maybe she was crying because she thought she would lose the vote. She's not crying now.

Someone did it! See Sandy Huffaker 1/19/08 at CaglePost.
Isn't it pathetic that so many people fall for the theatrics? If they'll think back over the years, she's never shed a tear before - even when Bill was diddling in the broom closet. Of course my thought on that debaucle is that if I was married to her, I'd diddle around too. It's a scary prospect any way you look at it.

Suzanne, if he gets back in the White House he won't have to ask directions to that broom closet.

It doesn't matter to me if she's sincere or not. What it comes down to, is if she would make a good POTUS or not. Why would you vote for someone just based on whether they convince you that they "care"? Don't most of us care? Is she qualified? What are her positions? What policies is she for? That's what people need to be asking themselves.

Excellent point, Shadowspawn. The problem isn't necessarily that people aren't asking her these things, it's that we don't know what to believe when she answers.
