Raise your hand if Bill's speech made you cry

[CatWoman]

*raises hand*

[Rowdyboy]

1. Proud to admit it

Also, goosebumps, several times. I love that man.

[juajen]

2. Count mine raised!!!

I guess I'll be redundant and see "God, I miss him!" Absolutely brilliant speech, just what I expected. He never fails to deliver.

[k in IA]

3. The "Amazing Grace" tribute was the tear- jerker. Clinton was just damn

good in laying out the reasons to toss Shrub and vote for Kerry.

[MikeG]

4. My hand is up.

[Demonaut]

5. nah, but I did hug my dog

twice

[mandelion]

6. Hand held up high..

I really was teary-eyed and moved by his speech.

[Gildor Inglorion]

7. Both hands...still proudly weeping with pride and emotion...

my Lord, I love Bill Clinton! And Jimmy Carter, Hillary Clinton, and Al Gore.

[Nevernose]

8. I haven't cried in years, but I wanted to.

But I wanted to, really. Christ, this has really been four years of hell, no?

In ten years, people will have forgotten all about Reagan. The Big Dog, however, will be remembered for decades to come.

[LynneSin]

9. Here

:hi:
:cry:

I think what made me cry the most is the fact that we have such a dumbass in the White House. George could never pull off a speech like that

:eyes:

[DemWitch]

10. it was a definate kleenex moment

I am so proud of being a Democrat everytime I hear him or Hill speak, but tonight especially just pushed me over the top...

[Nite Owl]

11. Hand raised.

He will take his rightful place in history in spite of what the rw did to him.

[tnhatesbush]

12. I am waving my hands vigorously

THE BEST SPEECH OF THE NIGHT. even the pundits on FOX news had no idea at how to respond........

[Gildor Inglorion]

13. Hey, I just noticed...is this a Southern thread?

Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana....who says Southern men don't cry!

[Zomby Woof]

23. It's going to take 4 southerners to carry Kerry!

Gore, Carter, Clinton, and Edwards. ;-) The New Southern Strategy.

I make no apologies for that. The southern-bashers on DU are in for a world of hurt if they dare spew their bigoted pigshit to me.

[jus_the_facts]

26. INDEED.......

.....and bigoted pigshit spew...it does rear it's abominable head even around here...sad but true. :crazy:

"a southern man don't need 'em around anyhow!!" Skynard:evilgrin: :hi:

[theivoryqueen]

14. rally cry for justice and the american way!

okay - no tears, my hand is down at half mast. I would raise it, except the words elicited a more rousing and raging sentiment.
I am glad to have witnessed it.

[jus_the_facts]

15. Whoa.....both m'hands raised in inspired AWE.......

.....with shivers runnin' up and down m'spine....BILL is DA MAN!!! :headbang: :wow: :headbang:

:loveya:

:hi:

[chookie]

16. *sniff*

Me too.

I am so darned proud of that guy.

That was a FANTASTIC speech that did more to define what the election is all about than anything that has proceeded it.

:loveya:Bill:loveya:

[Brewman_Jax]

17. He was excellent!

Made me want to cheer!

[UTUSN]

18. Not Cry, But Took My Breath Away, But Then, So Do You, CW n/t

[BlondieK143]

19. Oh yes, count me in!

The man is brilliant. Amazing. *sigh* It's so sad to see what we went from to what we have now. What a loss. He's such an amazing speaker. :( Okay, can't talk about it anymore. He rocks.

[BiggJawn]

20. I miss him, I miss him, I miss him....

Hearing Hillary and him talk reminded me that America wasn't always under the control of mean-spirited morons who can't even read a fuckin' teleprompter...

And I counted at least three references to the Pretzeldunce's short-comings..."Strength AND Wisdom..." was one.

[woofless]

21. Here! And it was not the first time in this evening

of incredible speeches and show of solidarity. The first thing that put tears in my eyes was Bebe Winan's rendition of the National Anthem and then the kids singing Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is My Land" got me again. These are tears of gratitude. We ARE united and we ARE reclaiming America.

[Zomby Woof]

22. all of them did

Gore, because of the good humor and grace with which he spoke of 2000. We all know what might have been...

Carter, because he is quite simply the greatest elder statesman America has produced in generations. He was forceful in his denunciations of Bush, and skillfully needed no mention of his name. Perhaps the best speech he has ever given.

Clinton, because the Big Dog is... the Big Dog. Nobody lays a smackdown on the right-wing like Willie J. What a time we had in the 90's. Is there a better speaker in all of politics?

[jdonaldball]

24. Here

And I didn't admire him as a President.
But at least I was able to call him "President" and mean it.

[drdtroit]

25. He gave me the overwhelming feeling

that he were elected President again the entire planet would throw a Big-Dog party!
