Bill Maher had it right about Hillary

[bigdarryl]

He said she will never be President.so the Democrats might as well get over it.I agree with him.

[ariellyn]

37. Ditto. nt

[lonestarnot]

39. Yeah, I'd say that is the new word for it! LOL

[unblock]

2. actually, it's the banana republicans who need to get over it

they're the ones who keep propping her up for their own fundraising purposes.

[CatWoman]

7. I don't see people clamoring for her to run on this side

agreed.

[Richard Steele]

110. Agreed. The only people planting the 'Hillary for Prez' idea are Repubs.

She is the NeoCon DREAM candidate...if she was the nominee,
the folks at Diebold could go to bed early and sleep well.

21. Oh, it's been that kind of day.

You've got the :popcorn: handled, so I'll bring some liquid refreshment.

[Scout1071]

35. Couple of things for you txindy:

1 - Thanks for bringing the refreshments.

2 - I love the smilie champagne! Where did you find that?

3 - I enjoy watching the Longhorns play and I was happy for you to win the NC. Vince Young is amazing and I knew he'd be too much for USC. Having said that, we are going to have to put this friendship on hold next week for one night. Next Monday night your Horns vs my beloved Jayhawks on ESPN's Big Monday College Gameday. Let's get it on and find out just who's going to win the Big XII this year!

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

[txindy]

41. So many smilies, so little time.

Here you go: http://www.cosgan.de/index.php

Thanks for that about the Horns. It's funny how the kids and I were so certain that we'd win when we were down by two scores with about two minutes left. Why? Vince Young. He's magic. We're gonna miss 'im!

As for the upcoming game, sure, let's see how it goes. I'd bet on the Horns, but after that early debacle with Duke at the Garden, I'm not all that confident. I have too much respect for the Jayhawks basketball program to take them for granted. It'll be a good game! TOO good! LOL! And that calls for another smiley:

[Scout1071]

50. THAT is the best. Smilie. Ever.

And thanks for the link.

I'll see you next Monday!

[Scout1071]

52. I'm in love with that website.

You've just given me a whole new world.

Thank you!

[txindy]

53. It's great, isn't it? And it encourages direct linking, too. Not many do.

I use them a lot because I'm certain my posts don't convey the tone I'm going for, so I use smilies to try to get my points across. Besides, I'm a visual person!

[Scout1071]

54. Spectacular.

This one is cracking me up:

[txindy]

55. Here's one we could've used earlier:

[DemInDistress]

59. thank you thank you thank you...a wealth of smileys to chose

from and so easy to copy...


wow, I copied and pasted into an email and it worked but when I tried that for this post it didn't work..how
disappointing..tell me the secret, please !!

[txindy]

61. It should work. What did you type in? Put it in again and let's check it.

I can't think what the problem might be.

[DemInDistress]

70. let's try again...

ok I tried..didn't work...I copied and tried to paste but to no avail. yet when I copy and put a smiley in an email that works. I can't figure that out.

[txindy]

72. Okay, let's try this, then.

Let's go large, shall we? Now, right-click on the image and copy its location. Now, paste it into a reply to this note. In the BODY of the reply, I mean. Wait a sec. Did you try to put it into the Subject line? That's the only trouble I can see happening.

[DemInDistress]

74. I'm depressed

http://www.cosgan.de/smilie.php?wahl=12&ziel=figuren nope that's not it..

all I get is,undo..delete..select all but no paste...damn yet when I cut and paste into an email it works fine.

[txindy]

77. That's what you get as the image location?

This is what I come up with {}

Ignore the brackets on the ends. They're only there to keep it from becoming a smiley, again.

Can you right click on this and hit 'View image'? What is the address you see?

Adding: Your link goes to one of the main smiley pages. Now, right click on the smiley you want to copy. Then paste that link.

Don't give up. We'll figure it out! :hug:

[DemInDistress]

87. trying again...

right clicked a smiley..I copied the smiley..I came back to this page I right clicked looking to paste that
smiley and all that was available was...undo--delete and select all..am I stupid? what is going wrong? funny
if I were to copy a smiley and insert that into an email it works..I did that

[DemInDistress]

94. I think I got it...I know I got it....trial and error and a little help

from friends at DU...



edit for my smiley..

[txindy]

100. There you go! Great job!

Out of curiousity, what did you do differently? I was so wiped from yesterday, I fell asleep as soon as the kids were in bed and missed when you got the smilies to work.

[DemInDistress]

115. I did the properties thing,, then highlighted the code an then

clicked back to DU page and pasted, when I didn't see the actual image I panicked as usual but when I posted the reply..There it was...walla and I love it

[txindy]

121. Ah, gotcha!

Well, enjoy! They're a big help in getting one's feelings across. IMO, anyway!

[DemInDistress]

122. I love them, and I learned a new trick

and this..

[SammyWinstonJack]

112. !

This is so cool! Thanks.

[txindy]

120. Here's a cute little one for you:

[SammyWinstonJack]

130. Ah! Thanks! Yorkies rule!

[Sapphire Blue]

79. You need to copy & paste the address...

Right-click on the image, select 'Properties', then copy & paste the 'Address' (URL) into your message.

[DemInDistress]

86. nope that's not working..

[DemInDistress]

[Sapphire Blue]

[DemInDistress]

98. Thanks blue...^5.... I couldn't have learned without your patience

:yourock:

[LiberalAndProud]

85. Thanks for that link. fun fun fun

You deserve more hearts, but I flat ran out.


Here are some anyway.

[txindy]

101. Well, thank you!

Those'll work!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

44. Hey everyone how are you doing?

:popcorn: :popcorn:

[Katherine Brengle]

8. If she gets the nomination, she might very well win--most polls have her

ahead of every Democrat and every possible Republican challenger with the exception of McCain.

I'm not a fan, but at least look at the facts before making a blanket statement like this.

[Warpy]

17. Can you say, "Name recognition?"

because that's all it is. Put her out there with the DLC's tired old platform and she'll fall flat on her face. Too many men have a kneejerk antipathy toward her, joined by doormat women, antifeminists, feminists, and progressives. Politics certainly makes for bizarre bedfellows, no?

She's unelectable. That's the bottom line.

[nruth]

47. Name recognition

I agree totally. HIlary is detested by too many people, and I'm getting tired of hearing her being discussed as a serious contender at all. If the Democrats are dense enough to actually nominate her they'll get exactly what they deserve. The average person out here in the real world is fed up with both parties at this point, I'm afraid.
They are all concerned with themselves and that's the bottom line. Am I the only one who feels like puking at the mere sight of a politician? They're all spineless and crooked, and includes Hilary. Sorry....and yes, I am a Democrat.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

48. Welcome to DU.

:popcorn:

[SPKrazy]

62. Welcome to DU

First post too!

[Katherine Brengle]

63. excellent point. n/t

[Talismom]

69. Not to mention the real progressives recently alienated by her pandering

to the right.

[rodeodance]

104. and McCain will draw them in.

[Rick Myers]

9. I might agree but I hope you have on asbestos pants!!!

Welcome!

on edit: got my popcorn

[DemInDistress]

71. speaking of asbestos..I heard tonight on C-SPAN the senate

is putting together a 140 billion dollar taxpayer funded bailout for those asbestos makers to pay off claims.
They created the cancer causing shit and now want WE THE PEOPLE to pay for their lawsuits..what balls, what nerve, how at all could we stop them..any suggestions?

[guruoo]

78. Asbestos bill dies in Senate

http://www.wstm.com/global/story.asp?s=4503447&ClientType=Printable

Senate effectively kills asbestos bill

CAPITOL HILL The Senate has effectively killed a bill designed to help asbestos victims.
Supporters of the 140 (b) billion dollar measure were unable to overcome a point of order which claimed the bill violated federal budget rules.The vote was 58-to-41, two votes shy of the 60 votes needed to waive those rules. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist had warned beforehand that such a vote would kill the bill for the year.

Frist, who supports the bill, switched his vote in a procedural move to allow the bill to possibly be considered in the future.
The measure would have forced companies that dealt with asbestos-containing products to contribute to a 140 (b) billion dollar trust fund.

Asbestos victims would be paid from that fund in exchange for dropping all asbestos-related court proceedings. Supporters said no federal money would be involved.

But opponents said there are many who believe the fund is inadequate. They feared federal money would be used if the trust fund runs dry.

[DemInDistress]

93. sounds like good news for the taxpayers...nt

[rodeodance]

103. it is a toss up--the victims may get nothing--This was actually a Fed

bailout for companies involved.

[DemInDistress]

114. victims may get a settlement,,their are many schrewd hungry

attorneys who know their craft..I still feel its better the taxpayers don't pick up the bill..

[SPKrazy]

11. Oh Boy

busy day today

:popcorn:

[Jeanette in FL]

29. No kidding

I went to babysit my grandsons this afternoon and I came back to all of this. You must wonder what is going under the radar with all of this.

[Iris]

42. Lonely Hearts Club?

Just a guess.

[Cooley Hurd]

12. After FDR contracted polio, they said he'd never be president, either

Damn good thing HE didn't "get over it.":eyes:

[Greyhound]

119. Don't misunderstand me, but we shouldn't forget that FDR was

one of the "do-nothing democrats" until he 'adopted' Huey Longs populist positions. I'd also point out that if you look at what he did objectively, he made it possible for the ruling elite to re-group and steal our country. He "saved" all of corporate interests that enabled the long march to servitude to continue.

[Flubadubya]

13. Wishful thinking...

on your part, I'd say. :eyes:

[tanyev]

15. Um....OK. Next?

[NanceGreggs]

16. Agreed.

It's sad to say it, but I don't think the country, as a whole, is ready to vote a woman into office.

In addition, Hillary is to the RW as Ann Coulter is to us - she's not just disliked, she is REVILED as representing everything the Republicans hate.

Edited to add: Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to the post number. Welcome aboard the good ship DU, matey!

:hi:

[acmejack]

23. I don't think it is any woman, just Hillary.

Perhaps not, but she raises particular bile in many folks, it seems to me. Do you really think there are that many misogynists among us still? That is like so unbelievable, I guess because I am surrounded by powerful, successful women and well, it just is! Troglodytes

[NanceGreggs]

27. Yeah, sorry to say so ...

... but there are still too many voters out there who think a woman's place, etc.

It's the same way with the American perception of sex scandals. While TOO MANY Americans were horrified to find out that Clinton had a mistress, people in other countries, especially in Europe, were thinking, "Oh, grow up. What's the big deal?"

Unfortunately, we are behind-the-times in many areas ...

[marions ghost]

57. oh yeah

there are LOTS of backward people who think a woman can't run a country--ESPECIALLY that a woman couldn't be trusted to handle a "war." And a lot of these people who think so wouldn't admit this, especially if they are in careers where it's not a PC opinion, such as business, law, research, Academia for ex. But you only have to scratch the surface to find these troglodytes.

[rocktivity]

18. It's the REPUBLICANS who want her to run

Just as they wanted Kerry to win the primary because he'd be easier to beat.

:headbang:
rocknation

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

45. The media (and repugs) are trying to set her up as our nominee and I'm

not biting, and yes they did the same exact thing with Kerry. The did it firmly when they reported (misreported) the "Dean Scream".....

[Kolesar]

106. The gops sure do obsess over a Hillary run for President

I don't think the dems will nominate her. I just don't find her that compelling.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

107. I don't even want to vote for her again as my Senator, let alone for

President. I wish there were a viable Dem candidate challenging her Senate run. I had hoped for a true Liberal Senator and received Republican Light.

[Kolesar]

111. Hillary should shut up and lie in the weeds about her war ideas

Add another 20000 soldiers to Iraq. How colossally inept.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

116. And like the Bush twins, you notice that Chelsea hasn't signed up. eom

[Kolesar]

117. "that sucking sound"

is me biting my lip. No comment

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

125. TheBorealAvenger.....

::::passing the lip balm:::::: ;)

[Vincardog]

20. ditto why do you think the Repubs keep pushing her?

[still_one]

22. I agree with you

why, because I don't like her politics

[nytemare]

24. The long key at the bottom of the keyboard is the space bar.

If you hit it twice after using a period, that leaves two spaces.

The keys on either side one up from the bottom are shift keys. If you use it after you use the period, and then two spaces, that makes the first letter of the sentence a capital letter.

Welcome to what will most likely be a very short stay at D.U.

:hi:

[marions ghost]

33. what Bill Maher said

is exactly as the OP states. I watched it too. So what's wrong with posting that?

There's no 'party line' around here about Hillary. Her candidacy remains an open question.

[nytemare]

38. That is what Maher said.

Hillary is a hot and cold issue here, there is no disputing that.

My issue with the post was the tone, and that it was the first post by the OP. Rather than saying "we should get over it", the OP just agreed that "the Democrats" should get over it.

[marions ghost]

40. well usually the freeps

advocate Hillary for Prez, from what I've observed. So I didn't automatically assume the worst, tho of course the Hillary issue is always polarizing among Liberals. But on the other hand, it was a topic that came up on tonight's Hardball, so as far as I'm concerned it was a legitimate post. Yes, I agree that referring to Dems in the third person is suspicious...but not every Independent or former Repug is a freeper. I gave the OP the benefit of the doubt...but I could be wrong. There's just not enough evidence IMO.:)

[nytemare]

43. I could just be cranky.

Pesky ear infection.

:shrug:

:)

[marions ghost]

60. no prob

:hug: don't worry bout it. Ear or sinus infection makes very cranky. Your opinions are OK w me anytime.

[nytemare]

68. I am indeed cranky!

:hi:

[tomreedtoon]

95. Nytemare, the computer is NOT a typewriter.

Whatever you were saying to the other guy, you're wrong about the space bar. You used to have to type two spaces after a period on typewriters, because they used a mono-space font. On computers, using proportional fonts, you only need one space after the sentence-ending punctuation. Two spaces at the end of a sentence makes computer writing look awful.

I do a lot of newsletters, and before I put the text into the publishing program I always have to do a search-and-replace to remove all those extra spaces, put in by those...excuse the anger, but this has bit me in the butt far too many times...

...those RE-TARDS...

...who put two spaces at the end of a sentence! Second only to the ones who use the space bar instead of using tabs and/or the paragraph formatting in their word processor programs.

[nytemare]

129. I must use a non-proportional font in Word, then.

Unless I put two spaces after a sentence, it gives me the little green line.

:shrug:

Point taken. I was cranky and I blew up.

:hi:

[DS1]

105. Two spaces is hackery.and wow. that was really obnoxious.

[nytemare]

128. LOL.

I was really cranky.Sorry I blew up.

:hi:

[marions ghost]

25. welcome to DU

I don't always agree with Bill Maher but I think his analysis was EXACTLY correct about Hillary's chances. He was very convincing when he praised her and said of course she can DO the job. But is she electable...no. Maher also mentioned the DLC problem--he thinks the Dems are off-base pandering to the Dem-lites

:eyes:

[TomInTib]

30. Hell, she would mobilise DEAD repubs. Not a snowball's chance.

We need to learn to fight to win, not just fight for the sake of fighting.

Dems do not need to pour gasoline on the other guy's fire, but learn to fuel our own.

Welcome, bigdarryl, and don't let the flames bother you.

32. "Yes, you'd think it was a hurricane."

That remark was funnier than shit! (Except of course, the hurricane was no laughing matter.)

[stepnw1f]

34. Get Over It?

hmmmmmm... yes, you should get over the fact that she is running and that it seems important enough for you to post about it. I'd say she had a chance or else, you would not have posted.

[jobycom]

36. I don't. nt

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

46. Um.. if you read this board you'll see that a majority of people here

agree that she will not be president, so I think it has been "gotten over" so I'm not sure your point posting this... :hi:

If you hang around long enough, maybe someone will buy you a heart! Wouldn't that be nice? :)

[txindy]

49. Did you type that with a straight face? If so, I'm quite impressed.

"If you hang around long enough,..."

:rofl: :toast:

[mtnsnake]

51. Bill also said that about both Bushes, and he was right about them, too.

Neither one of those mother fuckers was our president either, unless you're talking Saudi Arabia or something!

[Harper_is_Bush]

56. Why do you agree with him?

What's with the hit and run? 'splain yerself!

[mzmolly]

58. What does he mean "the democrats" I'm a democrat and I could

give a rip. If Hillary fights for and gets the nomination, she has my support, but it isn't a dream of mine to see her ascend to the Presidency.

[Catherine Vincent]

64. Of course you do.

:eyes:

[mdmc]

65. Bill Maher has NEVER said that!

Never, ever, ever!

[marions ghost]

113. Bill Maher did say that

if you can get a video clip from last night's Hardball, you can see that Bill Maher said that to Tweety. He was direct and blunt about it. I was surprised too. But he did say it.

[mdmc]

123. well then, I am wrong

and I apologize.

[mdmc]

124. well then, I am wrong

132. thank you for the links

i was just talking shit...

[SaveElmer]

66. He's wrong...nt

[Bacchus39]

67. I agree but the press for some reason really wants her to run

I don't find her to be a very effective orator. I don't see the huge attraction.

[guruoo]

75. Talk about all out war...

I'd demand to be equipped with full body armor before
I'd go canvassing for Hillary in this town.

[Czolgosz]

82. Would did I vote for?

Could you repeat the question?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

84. Who did you did vote for?

:popcorn:

[Floogeldy]

88. Who did I did vote for?

I did did vote for John Kerry. And I would would have voted for Hillary, if she were running against the evil moron.

U?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

90. Kerry. But to top that I would have voted for a ham sandwich over

the Moran.

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

83. I think the OPer is saying what a lot of people say on DU. It doesn't make

him a troll.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

96. Yeah but there is something about the way it's posted, as flamebait, with

no response or followup. Doesn't exactly give a non trollish impression.

Like "hah I just trashed your big DU heroine, watcha gonna do, LOL" while being too ignorant to know that a huge contingent, possibly a big majority, of DUers loathe Hilary Clinton and think she would be an awful, and unsuccessful, Presidential candidate.

Heck she hasn't even been in the Senate very long! At least Kerry has years of experience there.
