Here's why Hillary supporters want to kill the 'Billary' sobriquet.

The negative coverage of Bill Clinton over the past couple of weeks seems to have hurt his standing with the public. A new survey finds that fewer voters these days like the idea of the former president being back in the White House.

The poll found that independent voters have become more uncomfortable with the idea. In October, just 35 percent of independents disliked the idea; now, 45 percent dislike it.

In a general election, however, the prospect of Mr. Clinton back in the White House would be a bigger burden for her to carry. Republicans never liked the idea. In October, 66 percent said they disliked it; now 80 percent dislike it.

Guess you can't blame em much. huh?

1. Yeah, we'll just forget it's a Freeper word.

[Zueda]

2. I see you are fully aware of the implication?

:rofl:

[Seeker30]

5. I for one cannot wait for Bill to get back in the White House

So put that in your pipe and smoke it :smoke:

[ErnestoG]

8. The both need to put the White House behind them.

Bill was a decent prez, Hillary is a good Senator but would be a lousy president. Time to retire.

[mtnester]

3. Or that is it demeaning in any way

just saying

[TSIAS]

6. It should be "Hilliam"

A DU'er coined the term a week or so ago.

[alteredstate]

30. Would you prefer "HillBilly"? n/t

[godai]

12. No...Maureen Dowd today NY Times

But I must admit, it does seem to strike a nerve.

[Cha]

4. But, bilary covers it so well and ya

don't have to write it all out over and over..it's a short cut they deserve.

[godai]

14. Yes...kind of a shorthand word that says a lot n/t

[DJ13]

7. I cant tell them apart anymore

[TSIAS]

10. To be fair

It would be best not to post pictures from that site. Check out some of their archived material. That's site, redstategraphics.com, is one of the most vile sites I've seen on the Internet.

[Kahuna]

11. LOL!!!

:rofl:

[Dogmudgeon]

20. That's an oldie! Vintage 1994, I think.

There was a time when the Right was pushing the line, and you'll love this, that Hillary was a lesbian who smoked cigars.

This was before Monica Lewinsky's testimony.

They also used to chat about Hillary regularly whipping Chelsea with a belt. The right has been a deeply pathological scene for years; I hope the left does not follow it.

9. What does Barack Hussein Obama have to say about that?

[Zueda]

16. Apple and oranges my friend...Apples and Oranges.

Barchelle would be a more appropriate comparison...Doesn't quite have the same sting does it? But I see that you understand the complication that Billary has.

[CyberPieHole]

31. Why would Barack Hussein Obama have any "sting" to it...Obama should embrace his name...

Hussein is a proud and noble Arab name as is Barack. The fact that Saddam and he share a name is actually good fortune as well...makes it easier for people to remember...the same with his last name rhyming with the first name of another renowned Islamic man...all those things help in remembering Barack Hussein Obama's name.

[godai]

27. What's your point? That's his name. Doesn't bother me at all.

Please explain your post.

[Catherine Vincent]

28. It bothers a lot of Obama fans here when we use his full name.

Barack Hussein Obama

[godai]

29. Because the name 'Hussein' might scare stupid people?

Are you willing to win votes that way? Oh yeah... with the Clintons, anything goes.

[CyberPieHole]

33. Why should the name "Hussein" "scare stupid people"?

It is a beautiful Arab name that means "the young handsome one". Why not embrace the name his parents gave him? I can't imagine that he would be ashamed of his name.

[godai]

34. And Billary is an endearing name for this loving couple.

I wouldn't be surprised if they use it themselves.

[CyberPieHole]

35. Barack Hussein Obama is an endearing name...we should all use it from now on...

let's make sure that everyone knows about Barack Hussein Obama's proud Arabic names. Americans love all things Arabic. Arabic numerals have been a huge hit! Arabic names will not be far behind.

[godai]

36. Knock yourself out n/t

[Zueda]

37. Delete

Delete

[CyberPieHole]

32. It doesn't bother me either...I think that Barack Hussein Obama should embrace his names...

why be shy of such a proud Arab name like "Hussein"?

[BlackVelvet04]

13. We don't really expect anything much better than

freeper crap from you guys so we aren't really surprised.

[ruggerson]

15. Why did you omit this part?

"Democrats seem to be generally comfortable with bringing Mr. Clinton back. In October, only 10 percent disliked the idea of him back in the White House, and even after his bad week only 12 percent object now. In October 68 percent of Democrats said they actually liked the idea and that number has not changed. So he may still be an asset to his wife, at least in the upcoming Democratic primaries."




Little bit of dishonest editing there, Zueda?

[Zueda]

21. Besides the fact that it's not relevant I wanted to make sure not to violate fair use.

[Dogmudgeon]

24. Hey, my button is stuck!

:rofl:

--p!

[ruggerson]

25. rofl

and you expect to be taken seriously?

[Zueda]

26. I gave a link. Doncha think if I was trying to hide anything I would...

Uh at least make an attempt to actually hide something?

[dkf]

23. 100% in this household.

[Skip Intro]

17. I don't like it because it is a right wing term.

But it says alot about DUers who like to throw it around here.

[godai]

19. Just because you say it's a RW term doesn't make it one.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/03/opinion/03dowd.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

I think that you just don't like the implication. Truth hurts?

[Catherine Vincent]

18. Because it's a right wing freeper term.

Some of you Obama supporters are dumb.

[godai]

22. Please check post # 12 n/t

[ElsewheresDaughter]
