I know this is going to sound terrible because I really like what she is doing but every time I see the little Susie for President ad I think, "You are not Old Enough."

Ok Flame Away.

1. Maybe you should just switch browsers?
This Susie you speak of doesn't show up on my Firefox.

3. You are a donor, so you can go to "Options" and
Then select "Preferences" and then look for "Display Google ads?" -- click on "NO!" and Suzie will go away.

For super control you can also use the Firefox browser - and enable "Ad-Block Plus"...

I am always startled when I look at DU on a computer on which I am not logged on -- I forget how many ads there are because I don't see them.

:hi:

5. Did that and Susie is still there, but the google ads did go away.
I did install Ad-Block Plus but it's not blocking the susie.

10. My last tips...
Edited on Fri Jul-13-07 10:11 PM by IndyOp
If you have AdBlock Plus installed & have hit refresh & tried quitting Firefox and starting up again to make sure it is fully operational, and you still see Suzie, then...

On the Firefox toolbar, go to "Tools" and select "AdBlock Plus" - My advertisement filters include "*google*" and "EasyList USA". There is a button at the bottom left of the AdBlock Plus preference screen that says "Add filter" -- EasyList is

If you haven't done it yet - use the DU function under "options" to turn off Google Ads - just in case that helps.

I am no computer expert, the ads are just such visual distractions that I am motivated to do what must be done to cut most of them out of my browsing experience.

4. As I was reminded recently...
"Susie is a corporatist whore."

13. Her stance on deficit funding troubles me
But she's right on when she talks about not appeasing the Turkish designs on Kurdistan and the resulting impact on the Iranian nation-building subterfuge.

But what do I know?

6. One last look....


My name is Susie Flynn. I am running for President of the United States of America to help the nine million children who have no health insurance. This is a crisis. These children have been let down, yet the people accountable are doing too little to solve it. By running for President, I intend to make everyone in America aware of the issue so that it will no longer be ignored. Under your next President, every child in America must get the health insurance he or she deserves.

Health care we do.
