There sure was a lot of tearing up and crying today regarding the Kennedy endorsement.

I thought that was a bad thing? Or is it only bad when Hillary tears up?

1. It's only bad when you use it dishonestly for sympathy.

7. There's also a difference between tearing up out of love for your country...

...and tearing up for yourself.

Just my humble opinion.

2. I didn't mind when Hillary teared up

She barely teared up, anyway.

3. For people my age,

today had special meaning. And that is not restricted to people my age who endorse Senator Obama. It can and should be true for those who support either of the other two candidates, as well as for Barack Obama. It is because we went through that period that Ted Kennedy spoke of, with the promise of JFK, and the power of ideas expressed by Malcolm, the gospel of Martin, and the passion of RFK. And we saw it crushed, and replaced with the outright corruption and evil of Nixon, Reagan, Bush, and Cheney.

Today should be appreciated by all of us who have endured the darkness. To borrow a William Cullen Bryant line that Martin loved, "Truth, crushed to earth, will rise again."

4. Thanks for the post, Patrick.

I won't get a chance to see it until I get home later today. :hi: But I'll call my mom and ask her how she felt during the endorsement.

6. That's because everybody knows Hillary Clinton isn't a human but a robot.

So whatever she feels has to have been put there by her programmers to MANIPULATE US!!! ;)
