Men who cry in public are NOT wimps.

[elshiva]

My father cries when he is in pain or has panic attacks. This does not make him any less than a man or a good human being. He showed a lot of bravery in being a CO.

[jobycom]

1. True. But Bush is wimp!

[elshiva]

4. Yes he is, but Not because he cries, but because he

lies to us and avoids answering difficult questions.

[LiberalFighter]

52. And gw*dipshit is not crying for legitimate reasons

He doesn't have the heart that would allow him to shed tears for that purpose. His tears are crocodile tears meant to fool the people.

[RPM]

53. Fucking Eh right

Bush is wores than a wimp....

[Texasgal]

2. Uhhh..okay.

I agree.

[elshiva]

3. Thanks!

[Texasgal]

7. Sorry...

I had no idea what you were talking about until now. I went to GD to get the scoop. I failed to watch chimpy tonight, I had a nice day and I didn't want that bastard to ruin it for me.

So... he cried I take it?

[elshiva]

12. I guess he did. I saw the speech, but did not see the tears.

[samplegirl]

5. Panic attacks

are enough to make anyone cry!!!!

[elshiva]

8. That is true. Thanks for the support. Like me, my Dad

is a highly functioning mentally ill person. He supports us with his work as a librarian and is a great guy. I mean what would you rather have a dad who cries or a dad who is insensitive and aloof?

I think Dubya is insensitive and aloof as a father and as a leader.

[Seabiscuit]

46. Maybe the cognitive dissonance is getting to him?

[elshiva]

50. Who, my dad or Dubya?

[Seabiscuit]

54. Dubya

[autorank]

6. Your dad is just fine. Bush is a wimp...he cries over his death projects.

He cried, the pussy, after 911 when he tried to address the nation from the WH. Few remember this after he returned but he was pathetic, choked up. He was largely to blame and he cried like a baby.

He cried tonight at the end of the speech. Why? Does he think this will be his last murderous war? Does he think he won't be able to dress up again like a pilot? Does he think he may actually have to stop the carnage?

What struck me about the speech tonight was the limited support he received form the audience. What a comment!

[elshiva]

11. Thanks for getting my point. Dubya's crying to me

does not come out of real sorrow or feelings of guilt, but as if he is crying for show. I am proud of the audience for their reaction, especially since they are military!!!

[autorank]

20. Pride well placed. Expect spin that they were asked not to cheer.

I heard a hint of this already. They plant this crap and then when someone says, hey all those soldiers were pretty quiet for the commander (I did expect a lot of cheers), the pukes will say, well, they were asked. blabla.

It would have been just fine (although it would never happen) if one of them had noticed Bush's tears and yelled out (like HS), "you are such a phony, Bush, bite me!" These guys are pros and that would never happen but it would have been hilarious.

[elshiva]

24. I have to admit that I said, "Well maybe they were told not

to..." But, with further thought, I think it was a protest.

[peekaloo]

9. Men who cry fake tears in public to boost their waning public support

are wimps.

You're right, there is a difference.

[elshiva]

15. Well said, peekaloo!

"Men who cry fake tears in public to boost their waning public support are wimps." It is true. I do not think he's crying because it hurts him, but just for what you said. That's sick.

[nevergiveup]

10. I have never understood why

it is OK for Republicans to cry in public but it is not so with Democrats. Does anyone remember Senator Muskie?

[elshiva]

16. I think I do. Didn't he cry because people were saying

nasty things about his wife?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

13. Cool.

18. Is there a significance to the number of crying?

Dead soldiers/Iraqis?

51. Hee, hee!

:loveya:

[name not needed]

14. I doubt your dad ever cried on TV in a vain attempt

to boost his sinking approval rating.

[elshiva]

17. NO NEVER!

[mwdem]

19. WTF! , he cried?

I missed the whole thing. Why did he cry? My husband cried as he escorted my daughter down the aisle a few months ago, & as he gave his heart-felt speech at the reception. He is most definitely no a wimp, so why was the asshole crying?!!!

[autorank]

22. Hard to tell his motivation but he had 'watery eyes' at the end.

He's nostalgic for his former role as a warrior-king.

BTW, can reptiles cry?

On edit: I got a bit misty when my daughter moved out, natural. Wedding, OMG! I also weep, on occasion, when I pay her credit card bills. Dads are supposed to be softies for their daughters.

[mwdem]

23. No, we had an iguana,

& he never cried.

[elshiva]

26. Crocodile tears!

Reptiles cry.

[mwdem]

27. You'll never stop crying at this point when it comes to your daughter!

She'll always be the soft spot in your heart.

[autorank]

34. Would you stop it! You're making me cry! ;)

[mwdem]

37. Okay,

just wanted to warn you!:evilgrin:

[autorank]

57. LOL...

[Blue_In_AK]

43. Watery eyes, red face and a quivery chin... n/t

[Cha]

21. That's not why he's a wimp or any other

foul name I can think of. bush Lied to get us into the Iraqi Massacre and his crying about it doesn't change that..it just sickens me.

bush is crying because nobody is buying what he's selling..bush..mr golden boy ain't so golden No More.

[elshiva]

28. Thanks. See post # 4 on how I agree with you.

[Cha]

30. I did!

:)

[elshiva]

31. Yep, thanks!

[tjdee]

25. All the Bollywood men cry--and it is very, very sexy actually.

Well, except when they're overacting.

A man crying indicates depth of feeling, which I find tremendously attractive and appealing.

Bush crying because he's trying to save his own punk ass is, on the other hand, disgusting and :puke: -riffic.

[elshiva]

29. Sometimes men crying CAN be sexy.

Like on "West Wing"

But this was so anti-West Wing.... :puke:

[philosophie_en_rose]

32. It depends on the motivation.

Men that cry from emotion or pain are NOT wimps. Men that cry, because they are sad are NOT wimps.

However, ANYONE that cries to manipulate the public is a coward hiding behind his or her crocodile tears.

[elshiva]

35. Yeppers. See # 4.

[Redstone]

33. Unless they're faking it. Then they're a lying son of a sack of shit.

Like a certain bushyboy...

Redstone

[elshiva]

36. YEP, big faker!

x(

[zinndependence]

38. exactly

[the_spectator]

39. You got it.

It was SO on purpose. I just wonder what he has to think of to make himself reliably cry? About the silent shame he felt, knowing he was a Disappointment to Daddy? That's my best guess.

[elshiva]

41. Maybe?

[BayouBengal07]

40. I totally agree.

I cry all the time, I guess it comes with the bleeding heart.

Just over the weekend I visited the Vietnam Memorial in Washington. I am 20 years old, but I cried anyway, as this is the first time I've visited the memorial and seen names of kids younger than me on the wall. And all those names...they could have been my friends. It was just too much.

[elshiva]

42. That is sad!

:cry:

[Blue_In_AK]

44. My cousin's name is on that wall... n/t

[elshiva]

45. Sorry, hon!

:hug: :patriot:

[Iris]

47. But your dad doesn't make public pronouncements

standing out on a farm with a cowboy hat trying to act all rugged and stuff.

If a liberal cried in public, can you IMAGINE how they conservative media would spin it (and spin it and spin it and spin it. . . . just ask Howard Dean)

[elshiva]

49. Actually, Howard Dean cried when a reporter asked about

his brother who died young. Kerry also wrote of crying for a friend who died in Vietnam. I don't think it is a weakness...

[rustydog]

55. Bush is NOT a real man. Bush IS a real whimp

he is like the rapist who cries at sentencing hoping to sway the judge. Gutless coward who paraded on the rubble of the twin towers, climbed into Terri Schiavo's bed for political gain and NOW he sheds a tear over Iraq?

[elshiva]

56. Very eloquent, rustydog.

:yourock:

[NMMNG]

58. My friend Mike has severe anxiety/panic disorder

so he sometimes cries in public, but that doesn't make him a wimp.


Chimpy was play-acting to boost his sagging ratings. That's a whole different ball game.
