Displaying 241 To 259 Of 259 Comments Good, keep posting on HP – just hold your nose and do it! We need to keep our voices out there, even though I sometimes it’s like holding your finger in the dike against the tr0ll flood! » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 10:08 am This just in from Open Left, another good if wonky site for our kind, analyzing the Senate prospects from ND & CT ~ At the bottom of the post, it reports that Blumenthal has zoomed up in the polls and is virtually a shoe-in for the Senate seat! » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 9:42 am abby – spot on! Btw, did you ever figure out how see your updated profile? I left you a suggestion last night – log out and then log back in. » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 9:40 am BDM, I was going to put the dum-de-dum-dum in my post, but I didn’t want to look too dumb 😉 » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 9:08 am HP is cooking up the tar & feathers for Dodd – the main page now is topped with all kinds of inflammatory headlines about The Day Dodd’s Fate Was Sealed … (cue ominous-sounding music) … but when you follow the link it’s just the same story about his retirement announcement ~ http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/05/chris-dodd-to-retire-from_n_412635.html (And I meant this to go with BigDogMama’s post, but whatever) » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 8:43 am The key is to pay attention to & support the up & coming Dems – something we’ve been notoriously poor at, as a whole, especially compared to the other side who make a point to groom their new crop. Keep us posted! » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 8:39 am TY for the heads-up, BDM 🙂 I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for news on Blumenthal. » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 8:37 am Morning greetings from sunny & cold Albuquerque – it’s a beautiful day in paradise! » Posted By jan4insight On January 6, 2010 @ 8:36 am You most likely did it right abby, but to see your new profile you need to log out and then log back in again. » Posted By jan4insight On January 5, 2010 @ 11:34 pm No problem. » Posted By jan4insight On January 4, 2010 @ 5:29 pm Nellie, try logging out & then logging back in. That worked for me when I created & then changed my profile 🙂 » Posted By jan4insight On January 4, 2010 @ 5:19 pm well, that too, but I’m more interested in viewing what people say about themselves in their bio – where they’re from, etc. All I know is two folks here saw MY profile and I wish they’d tell me how they did it! 🙂 » Posted By jan4insight On January 4, 2010 @ 9:11 am Yes, I can find how to edit my profile but I want to view it. I know you can, because I’ve gotten some hits on my blog from this site, and the only way they could have gotten my link was via my profile. Guess I’ll have to wait for admin, but TY anyway, Abby 🙂 » Posted By jan4insight On January 4, 2010 @ 8:56 am HELP – my dumb question got buried 🙁 How do I view my profile, or anyone else’s???? I’ve tried clicking all the obvious places, with no results. But I know some folks found my profile, because I had two hits on my blog last night from here, and the only place you could have found it was my profile (such as it is). So let me know – how’d you do it??????????? » Posted By jan4insight On January 4, 2010 @ 8:28 am Hmmm, then why have a “biography” page that you can edit in your dashboard?? (rhetorical question; I’m just trying to figure things out here). » Posted By jan4insight On January 3, 2010 @ 5:45 pm Hi, I’m new here & just getting oriented to the site. I have a really dumb question: How do I view my profile (not to edit it; the profile that is visible to others)? For that matter, how do I view anyone’s profile? I’ve trying clicking on avatars, nothing happens; and when I click on the username it takes me to their last comment. So, what now??? TY for your help 🙂 » Posted By jan4insight On January 3, 2010 @ 5:32 pm A New Way To Fight Right Wing Trolls on HP Hi, darleneslee – I’m so glad you saw my post & decided to come here! Welcome to the happy crew – we don’t always agree on everything but we do debate respectfully, and we don’t carry grudges. I think you’ll find it a refreshing change 🙂 And btw, I still go “there” regularly & keep on with good fight – I’m too much of a contrarian to let them think they ran me off 😉 » Posted By jan4insight On January 11, 2010 @ 4:19 pm Just for giggles, here’s a sample of a recent post I made on HP, and the decidedly tr0llish response that came in today: Winter Storms (Political and Otherwise) jan4insight This is true. And also I have looked at much of the garden-variety criticism of Obama from the left, and been appalled at the ignorance that is displayed at how our government actually works – you know, like separation of powers. Executive branch does not make the laws. That sort of thing. He’s only the President, peeps. He’s not your Fairy Godmother. RoloTomassi Sorry, but you know as well as I do that your comment is nothing but an arrogant oversimplification of dissent from the Left; you centrist/corporatist dems simply swap the single foot you stand on constantly–it’s all about Obama’s accomplishments until he comes under fire for his lack of LEADERSHIP [you will notice that I did not specify his lack of personal legislative accomplishments], and then you stand on the “it’s congress, not Obama’s failure” false-position. If you care to read the dissenting comments you might actually learn something about what is going on here; it’s about the failure of the Democratic party as a whole, in presidential leadership AND congressional actions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ » Posted By jan4insight On January 5, 2010 @ 6:15 pm Hi, I’m new here, another refugee from Huffoxington Post. KarateKid, I wish I’d read your post months ago, although I’ve certainly enjoyed those late-night chat & music threads on HP! Well, as we all know, it’s getting worse. I’ve found myself even unable to post a comment on certain HP threads – and I don’t think it’s an accident. I’ve seen other HPers say the same thing has happened to them. I think we’re being deliberately locked of certain threads. The most recent one for me was that execrable Marianne Williamson thread, which is a total anti-Obama trash-fest. Today I tried to post a simple Co-sign to someone who’d gotten through the mods, and was unable to click the post link! I also have notification of an HPer who wrote a supporting comment on one of my posts, but neither my post nor the supporting comment are visible on the site. Apparently I got scrubbed, and so did the person who supported me. But another post criticizing me got through! So what I’m doing now is copying & saving my important posts & the supporting comments to a notepad on my Google sidebar (for now). I’m sure I’ll find a way to use them to good effect. Meanwhile, the HP downward trend is of real concern, not only because of our collective frustration, but because I fear this effort to fracture the left could end up handing the country back to the Repug’s – and you all know what a nightmare that would be! » Posted By jan4insight On January 3, 2010 @ 5:57 pmComments Posted By jan4insight
🙂
Democrats win by uniting their base with swing voters, not by playing the two against each other. President Obama should be the president who gets this instinctively. So how did it come to this?

Said troll thinks I’m a corporatist and centrist??? OMG, I can’t stop ROFL!!! It’s clearly a cut & paste response. I wonder how much he/she got paid for it, and if he spent it all in one place!
