why I prefer Bernie to her. I hope you don't get attacked too badly.

space and they were pretty sad reporters apparently. I did mention how the press is getting pissed across the board about her not speaking to them and this was the answer: "This is the Hillary room."

I didn't notice. However, I find this instantaneous punch in the face pretty sad. Apparently, there is a minus zero tolerance for any deviation from the strict party line there. I had no idea.

Nor on TPP! Could that be because she helped to organize the trade agreement????????????


Don't trust her either. Don't like the bad and worse to vote for.
First time in my life I'm happy.

BERNIE SANDERS MAKES ME *WANT* TO VOTE!!

Me too!

That means they have no rebuttal.

There is an element here who have never progressed beyond cartoons.

Apartment 3G, Family Circus, and the booger picking pervert kid we all came across from elementary school flipping his crude drawings on the edge of a notebook or index cards but without the depth of contribution to the national dialog, coherence, or fun loving spirit replaced by heaping helpings of snark, condescension, and mean spiritedness.

Eons from now, when Cthulhu or whoever is rifling through this ancient site, looking for some good porn, they'll run across several posts filled with nothing but or or or occasionally (my favorite). And they'll see other posts (like this one) that do nothing but rattle on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and sometimes get to the point, but often don't. Don't worry about it. We all will be poopie-scooping for the Blankfein-Borg (aka Cthulhu) while the purest of heart ( ) will be supping on triple-pepperoni pizza while watching reruns of the Mary Tyler Moore Show with an endless supply of cold Guinness Extra Stout.

I know these things. I'm the Whistler.

Not only is it Hyper-DUZY level, but you win the Internets and the Googles forever!

Really brilliant stuff!

And only one smiley:

It is a cartoon.

...is incapable of composing a post that within our Community Standards,
then they need to study at the Beavis & Butthead Chatroom at AOL.

I have had posts alerted on....and hidden,
and I KNEW at the time I posted them they would probably be hidden,
but when I have 5 to spare, sometimes it is worth it.

Besides, EVERYBODY clicks on "Show Post", so the words are not lost.

My skin is full,
and I don't think the World could handle two of me.

Sometimes, I would like a twin surrogate to do stuff like get firewood, split it, and stack it,
or go to town and get supplies,
but I can do without.

Every time I think my skin is full I find a little more packed in there.

They broke that bvar22 mold after one use. But a firewood-splitting clone is every man's dream.

I see it all the time and its happened once to me. yet some that ARE obvious violations are left alone.

Unless you're just joking & pointing out that ANY post that gets hidden can be called "racism" around here.

Just recently there was an OP on one long time member being banned simply because he make ONE poorly chosen post.
I've had 1 post hidden in 5 yrs.
You accuse that it was "racist". It was not. Had nothing to do with race. I guess you're one of the folks I referred to in my original response!

That is sarcasm, based on the asinine posts we read here recently.

or maybe she's the Rorschach test candidate.

And then "bash away" with straight-out-of-right-wing-conspiracy Hillary hatin' 'anyone but' least factual opinion dirge possible.

You forgot this -

but I won't go into attack mode. You are entitled to your own opinion.

Here it is!

Comparing a future Hillary administration with Bill Clinton's is just wrong.
I think some folks just don't get the fact that Hillary is a strong progressive woman.

You may as well say my wife is just like me. But you'd be wrong there too. My wife is a strong independent woman with her own mind and opinions as is Hillary. You need to learn to give women there due.

You have an assumption that people are comparing Hillary and Bill and assuming that Hillary is Bill. Your claim is that she is not Bill.

Actually, most people totally agree. However, unlike your claim, most of us are comparing Hillary to Hillary. We know who Hillary is outside of Bill. Her current version of herself has nothing to do with Bill, it conflicts with Hillary's past.

I am not a HRC supporter. I responded to a poster who said Hillary is not Bill which is a constant meme around here, thinking that people do not know who HRC is on her own.

The poster was conflating specific criticism of HRC with a general plaint that we should not consider a wife as the same person as her husband. I can agree with that general statement, but pointed out that is not what people are doing. People on this site questioning HRC, generally do not seem to have doubts about HRC because they/we have doubts about Bill. We have doubts about Hillary because we have doubts about Hillary.

That's right. She's horrible in her own right.

...was quickly hammered together following Bernie's declaring and the groundswell of support his message was receiving.

I believe this is why we see this populist slant from her today.

Just my opinion.
Peace

Exactly on point. Again, just my opinion, but I feel she latched on to something she knows will resonate with the popular opinion, but does not really believe it. I could be wrong.

History on each candidate tells the story louder than the words that come out the mouths.

As said many many times, "the proof is in the pudding"!

I was wondering if anyone else found it as obvious as I did.

I was scanning the thread to see if someone dropped that tidbit. Should have known you would come through

... voting record and dismiss anything she says. Talk is cheap. Obama actually had many of us convinced he was a progressive. Talk is cheap.

tells us how she plans to fund the programs she is proposing.

What are the specifics of her plans.

Bernie tells his.

And when will Hillary give interviews to the press so that those of us in places like California can assess her ability to answer questions extemporaneously?

I'm sure she plans to come out of her cocoon. But when? And will she answer questions on the TPP, the XL pipeline, etc.?

She will open up when Mook tells her to...

In her NY speech she said that she would give large corporations an incentive to earn more money and perhaps help the little people...TYT

have the foresight to see the consequences of a Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, and wherever else we are these days. Enough is enough, we need leaders who don't have to apologize more than a decade later for something most of us ordinary people were able to predict back then.

Imagine eg if we had a Congress filled with people like Sanders and Byrd and all the other good Dems who DID have that foresight and good judgement but were let down by members of their own party?

All the lives that would have been saved, all the money that could have gone to make this a better country for everyone.

In ANY job, if you made a mistake, assuming it was a mistake, with one hundred times less consequences than eg, the Patriot Act, Iraq, you would be instantly fired and would be lucky if you ever worked again.

I'm sorry but to be asked to forget something as horrific as that war and all those Bush policies that got support making them possible, when a good opposition party would have ended them before they began, is simply not rational.

Millions of people's lives were affected by that decision. I don't understand why people are willing to overlook these things.

It's nothing personal, but we are the ones who decide the course this country takes in the future, and it is an awesome responsiblity towards this country, but more and more since the neocons set us on a course of forever war, towards the people of so many others. I know they used to have hope we could stop them, and we tried, but we did not have the support of many of our leaders.

She'll screw the working class in her own unique way.

Therefore, I had no ability to block you. However, that was not all you did.

Moreover, this is not how you appeal a block.

Besides, the group is for those who are supporting Bernie for President and you clearly are not supporting Bernie for President.

And you bragged about the ban you gave me,it was revenge and you know it.

Got a link to that alleged post of mine allegedly bragging about blocking you, given I had no power to block you?

I'd ask "Revenge for what?" except I really don't want another false reply.

and you can look it up. have a nice day and good luck with your precious.

one more thing how meany people have you ban from that group?

Most people are both. But whatever. She isn't Bill and we don't care if you support Bill or not.

... we need to know.

Which is why this active duty Soldier will never vote for her, all other reasons not withstanding.

And if we want to go back into Iraq, and Iran, and a few other middle eastern countries, we should definitely let the GOP win.

Talk about beating a dead horse with a dull stick!

BTW, in case you missed it, he lost the Presidential election. Being for the war in Iraq before he was against it didn't help him.

But, as you know, Hillary did not just vote for the war, she advocated for it.

In "Hard Choices," Clinton, a former secretary of state and former U.S. senator who is exploring a 2016 presidential campaign, writes: "[M]any Senators came to wish they had voted against the resolution. I was one of them. As the war dragged on, with every letter I sent to a family in New York who had lost a son or daughter, a father or mother, my mistake become (sic) more painful."

I don't support Bill Clinton, the damage he did to America's Working Class,
and his continued support for these NeoLiberal (read:Republican) Economic Policies.

I couldn't care less about anything that happens between consenting adults.
Aside from that, he's a pretty nice guy,
though I NEVER believed him when he said that he felt MY pain,
and then went to $1,000 dinners.

Ugggh, what horrible policies he had, and what horrible policies she'll bring.

I just want want to puke. I guess we deserve who we elect. I wish and hope for Bernie ... but ...

At least I can cast a vote for someone I truly support because they deserve my vote for their policies!

Clinton hasn't earned my support, at all!

Showing that you have some kind of white guy privilege.
Sexist, because she's a woman and if you don't vote for her you hate all women.

It's her turn dammit, didn't you hear? She's the candidate of destiny and is due the office because she's a woman.

What other ones have I missed?

Assigning a well-fitted and comfortable oppression certainly seems to be the new vogue. And, as it deftly replaces rational thought, I understand the mental convenience...

And truthfulness is purely optional for the attackers.

…haven't alerted on every perceived anti-Hillary post in this thread, including the OP, for some bullshit TOS violation.

Must be too much work for the Hivemind.

Apparently they've all been scared away. The truth is there are still LOTS of Clinton supporters on DU.

you "missed" that one

I seem to remember hearing the same rhetoric before about this and "destiny". If she's the nominee I will vote for her but my support is for Sanders.

She's a woman?
