As always you are right on the money. And, as a former English Prof, I’d like to highlight the fact that Napolean, Hitler, Mao, Stalin, among many, many others were charismatic speakers – as is the waiting to be convicted Mr. Taylor. Frankly there are many B/S artists, and JD’s from Harvaard are rigously trained in “speaking” and court room presentations.

So you get an “A” in speaking but a “D” in honesty and that’s supposed to be okay???

The Dali Lama is.

So you don’t need to just look at undecideds breaking for H at the last minute — but also decideds getting mad enough to go vote.

I’m actually a little disappointed in Hillary for showing weakness. But she bounced back and the treatment on this and other things — and the GOP/media attacks on her all these years — needed an Iron this! It’s wonderful to think that by making this protest-by-vote we’re fighting the chattering tweeties and we’re getting a good fighting feminist leader into an office where she can fight for us. Somehow all this happening at once may make feminism and sexism a fresh issue 2008-2016.

Yay for Susan and taylormarsh and hillaryis44 and whoever else I haven’t heard of yet. I don’t want to spend energy rebuking MSM and sending their sexism underground, just firing tweety and using people who sound more credible. I want to use this energy to expand the network y’all are building here and get other women reading it and finding out there is an alternative to MSM.

I do think there needs to be an alternative in the sense of a place where women can get quick ‘evening news’ sort of overview of what is going on in ‘general news’. Things in this … femisphere? … are a little too wonky for general taste at the moment.

Hm, equivalent of Oprah show? Dunno, don’t watch it. Equivalent of late night comedy shows? — some people really do get their serious news there, figuring the comedians are going for non-partisan laughs.

Sorry, I’m still ranting.

And you don’t know WHAT she was crying for, nor do I, nor does anyone else. You were not inside her mind, nor was I. But to imagine that the emotion she was feeling was not at least for her own disappointment after so many years of going after this one goal is to imagine that she is superhuman. No human being is that selfless.

But if you need to idealize her and not allow her to be a normal human being, that is your business.

You know, whether it was a genuine moment or a contrived one, after all, election campaigns are all about strategy and manipulation, so…what’s the big whoop, as they say?

As I have said before, I do not believe the emotion itself was contrived – I know acting, and that kind of thing is one of the most challenging things to pull off convincingly even for a very well trained experienced actor. From her face, and her voice, I could tell she was not forcing anything. As I think I said before, I have never seen her face look so soft – or so pretty (she is an attractive woman, but pretty is not a word that has ever come to my mind before), and her voice, which usually has a tight, somewhat forced, often almost shrill quality, also sounded softer-edged and more natural. I am convinced it was a genuine, moment.

One possible scenario – and I think the most likely one – is that what she said was planned as part of her strategy, and the emotion wasn’t planned – it just welled up. I can easily see how that could happen – it happens to most of us at one time or another.

It simply makes no sense whatsoever for you to demand he be fired while you keep watching him. Honestly, it reminds me of a prude who reads pornography every day and rants and raves about how evil it is every night.

IF YOU DON’T LIKE HIM, STOP WATCHING HIM.

I have heard the man talk once – that time I have already written about here. That was enough for me to understand that he is to be avoided. I have never once watched his show, and I never will.

Tears & Fears

Also, Obama has to answer and be vetted like all the other candidates. What the hell is wrong with everyone? How is a black man suppose to run for president shouting “racism” when questioned by his opponents? He has to be treated like all the other candidates.

the banker brownshirt ideals of the 30′s-40s of europe that gave the world hitler through the funding by the brit banking crowd appears to be again rearing its ugly head in the 21 century, and on american soil with this latest lets run nyc mayor bloomberg as an independent candidate garbage. when you strip off all their bows, bell, whistles, and look at the nitty-gritty of david boren’s so-called ‘national unity’ stuff, one finds ‘national socialism’ at its base. hmmm…somewhere i seem to remember that ‘national socialism’ was referred to as nazis in the last century. hmmm….the meeting this past weekend on the campus of ou to try and sell nothing more than banker’s fascism with a ribbon on top. it was repleat with the standard fascism cow manure of that our greatest problems we must defeat the enemy (terrorism), overcome budget deficits, and rein in entitlements. in other words squeeze the little people even more and take away what semblence of a decent life through financial slavery. those promoting bloomberg are the same ones who gave america extortion-rate interest rates on their credit cards and loans. the only difference between this particular bloomberg/national unity promotion crowd and the old pistol totting bank robbers like the daltons and james gang, is that the bloomberg/national unity crowd does it with a pen. national socialism is just that, national socialism.
