tear up - as in Mr. Speaker...

I find nothing charming or touching about the next leader of the free world gushing tears on national TV. I suspect our moose limb friends find it amusing, though.

I find these group therapy sessions embarrassing. Man up, Pubs, none of this PC psychobabble and tell all and then a crying jag public display. I think of my Dad, who would never, ever have done such a public display of angst. Goes to show how far gone our society is with this PC garbage. Geez, ....

I agree and commend you for speaking out on this.

These people need to stow the tears.

Life is tough - tougher for some than others.

But we need a leader who can love and care for people yet have the strength to compartmentalize it and man up to the challenges of the day without bawling his head off.

“I find nothing charming or touching about the next leader of the free world gushing tears on national TV.”

They had good reason to tear up, facing such tough obstacles, and they faced those obstacles like REAL men would.

I disagree completely. There are many life circumstances worthy of the strongest man’s tears.
The depth of personal understanding displayed particularly by Santorum is motivating me to take a harder look at him as my choice.

I agree. We are witnessing the wussification of America, from all the colored ribbon campaigns (pro athletes wearing pink, no less!), to adults boo-hooing on stage, to football players holding hands when they walk onto the field, to men passively cringing while a crazed shooter picks them off one by one. What a strange world we live in now.
