If any Dem woman or worse, man cried as much as their men cried they'd be tarred feathered and set on fire....And the Oscar goes to...

Haley Barbour teary-eyed for unborn in Iowa

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Fighting back tears as he talked up his home state's abortion laws, Haley Barbour vowed Friday that he will not adhere to any social-issues "truce" if he runs for president.

Speaking to a gathering of conservatives hosted by the Iowa Renewal Project here, Barbour grew emotional when he touted Mississippi's top rating from Americans United for Life and spotlighted a law enacted early in his first term as governor that required doctors to do everything possible to save a fetus that survives an unsuccessful abortion.

A bit choked up, Barbour said he never would have predicted at the time how important the law would be to a future White House campaign.

“Barack Obama fought such a law, and defeated such a law, in Illinois,” Barbour said.

“After an abortion in Chicago,” he said, pausing to collect himself, “the medical personnel are not able to save the life of a child. To me that’s inexplicable. And we changed the law in Mississippi so that could never happen in our state.”

The anecdote, and emotion, scored major points with the audience of conservative religious leaders.

1. Perhaps they are creatures of emotion, rather than logic and reason.

Or perhaps they just drink too much.

2. my problem is what they cry over, i have no problem with men or anyone else crying

like this asshole would have no problem with kids who might die because they don't have health care.

he probably cares nothing about kids who might not get good nutritious meals througout the day.

he probably cares nothing for kids who dno't have stable homes. or kids who are freezing in the cold.

7. I agree..

I don't have a problem with men that cry, but I know it's a show. And you're right they don't give a shit if the kid dies because of no health care, or if they're homeless, or hungry etc. They use it to score points and that's disgusting.

You make a very good points! Someone should ask them why they don't cry over those kids.

(But funny as Hell!)

[StarburstClock]

4. They're emotionally unstable on every level, mentally ill and out of control

The act they put on for their corporate masters sometimes involves an emotional facade to be displayed which easily gets out of control resulting in an inappropriate outburst.

5. James Baldwin would have known exactly why...

Sentiment­ality, the ostentatio­us parading of excessive and spurious emotion, is the mark of dishonesty­, the inability to feel: the wet eyes of the sentimenta­list betray his aversion to experience­, his fear of life, his arid heart; and it is always, therefore, the signal of secret and violent inhumanity­, the mask of cruelty.

James Baldwin essay, "Everybody's Protest Novel" (1949)

6. deep rooted shame

8. Ever see who they sleep with?

That'd do it for me.

[Angry Dragon]

10. I really do not care why they cry

It is hard to figure out the mind of a sociopath.

It is sure they are not crying about someone else.

[SoCalDem]

11. Because they are wound tighter than a garage door spring?

They spend their whole lives suppressing things, and at odd moments, they start to unwind a bit?

[Jack Rabbit]

12. Take from some one who was the smallest kid in his class . . .

. . . any bully will ride and hide if he is challenged (even by the smallest kid in the class) and if a finger is laid on him, he will cry for him mommy.

[BlueIris]

13. I don't buy that all who cry are sincerely sad.

Crying is such a powerful tool for emotional blackmailers.

14. They clearly like crybabies - The anecdote, and emotion, scored major points with the audience

of conservative religious leaders"

23. I admire men who tear up when they are Deeply Moved-

it hasn't been 'acceptable' for men to cry.

BUT- when a man is easily brought to tears, it doesn't effect me the same way. Just as it doesn't when a woman cries easily.

[Gemini Cat]

24. Because their mindless stupid followers love it and

because seldom does anyone ever call these dripping eyed assholes out for their hypocrisy.

[madrchsod]

25. a little dab of vicks....

[Marr]

26. Much like televangelists.

I agree it's strange. Seems a mark of the con-man.

[Arkana]

27. Those aren't tears--those are concentrated droplets of manliness

oozing out of their rugged, bootstrappy tear ducts.

[butterfly77]

28. Fat,fake,phony...

he cares so damn much but,once the children are born he and the rest of his gang do their damndest to make their lives a living hell...

[Pisces]

29. Shame for the garbage they spew.

[TorchTheWitch]

30. it makes them appear caring and empathetic and helps to hide their evil

lying bullshit. Televangelists did it for the same reason. Whenever you see these shitheads turn on the waterworks, be assured it's because they are laughing hysterically on the inside.
