Hillary Clinton proves strong men also cry

By Gannon Hubbard
intro

Hillary Clinton’s tears were not the only magic that occurred this primary season. Both Republican and Democratic candidates have been pulling out all the stops to become the most empathetic, and we at BoUNCe have compiled them for you, the voter. Democratic candidate John Edwards reiterated his campaign’s main points at an emotional rally in Rock Hill, South Carolina last week. “Back when my daddy worked in the textile mill, he knew he could never stop working in that mill. He – gosh, y’all, I’m sorry about this.” He took a moment to recollect himself, dabbing his eyes with a Gucci handkerchief. “That mill money that came out of my poor daddy’s mill put me in the non-mill place where I am now – able to protect the poor mill daddies of Mi’l America from predatory milling tactics by mill-owners!” Republican candidate Ron Paul shared a special moment with the anchor of “News at 6” on Public Access 35 of Montpelier, Vermont two weeks ago, in which he related the most significant challenge facing his campaign. “It’s been hard, it’s all been hard,” he said, tears shimmering in his redrimmed eyes. “But our supporters online and across America have come through. With the recent singleday record-shattering donation of eight level 70 characters, I feel that tonight is the night. Tonight we can and we will beat Molten Core.” Paul runs on a platform focusing on a return to the World of Warcraft gold standard and less government intervention in all matters except Mexicans. His guild, , is 11th on their server. Republican Mike Huckabee’s emotional outpouring was along more traditional lines. While giving a speech to American Legion post #479 in Nevada last month, his voice cracked and his demeanor changed. He stopped following his notes. “And you know what, guys? All this bad stuff in the world, with all that ice melting and all those black people dying and everything, it just doesn’t matter all that much, because Jesus loves you. And I really love you too, but I love Jesus more, and I’m sure that’s the same for all of you in terms of loving me a whole lot, but gosh, we just sure do love Jesus, huh? When I become President, I will love Jesus even more than I do right now. That is a promise.” The room erupted in applause, though most of those attendant were in wheelchairs and could not get up. “So you can vote for me, on that promise. Definitely. Count on it.”
