If Sticks and Stones Won't Get the Votes, Maybe Tears Will do the Trick
by Pamela Jean (GotTheScoop).
In what appears to be an effort to show her softer side, Hillary Clinton went all FerKlempt as she spoke with voters in a New Hampshire cafe. Things must be getting desperate in her mind to put down the gloves and pick up the Kleenex box.
With the polls showing Hillary trailing Barack Obama, and the New Hampshire primary just hours away, Mrs. Clinton apparently decided to
play the "girl card" when visiting with the locals in an area restaurant.
Her voice quivered and tears visibly welled in her eyes as she told her supporters just how much this country means to her.
Asked by a sympathetic supporter just how she is able to keep up the pace of this grueling campaign she responded
"It's not easy. It's not easy.'
"And I couldn't do it if I just didn't, you know, passionately believe it was the right thing to do,' she said, her voice catching.
"You know, I've had so many opportunities from this country, I just don't want to see us fall backwards,' she said, her voice trailing off. The voters crowded into the restaurant applauded encouragingly.
"So,' she continued, then paused, seemingly to control her voice as her listeners applauded again. "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. And some people think elections are a game. They think it's like who's up or who's down.
"It's about our country. It's about our kids' futures. It's really about all of us together. You know some of us put ourselves out there and do this against some pretty difficult odds. And we do it, each one of us, because we care about our country. But some of us are right and some of us are wrong. Some of us are ready and some of us are not.'
She concluded, "And so when we look at the array of problems we have and the potential for it getting - really spinning out of control, this is one of the most important elections America's ever faced. So as tired as I am - and I am - and as difficult as it is to try to kind of keep up with what I try to do on the road like occasionally exercise and try to eat right - it's tough when the easiest food is pizza - I just believe so strongly in who we are as a nation so I'm going to do everything I can to make my case and, you know, then the voters get to decide.'
Oh Hillary, thanks for reminding me and the voters that you have a heart. I had almost forgot you were a
real woman, with
real feelings.
Aw shucks, maybe I should give you my vote just for being so
honest about it all.
Not.
