This picks up on several themes that are near and dear to the hearts of Freepers, based on recent threads.

I feel reasonably certain that y'all will appreciate this. Special regards to my friends, Peter Paul and Doug from Upland.

The Clinton cronies who litter the staff of Ms. Davis’ show expect Americans to approve President Allen’s threat of war, without Congressional approval, over a single African woman’s life.

This is how Clinton ran his foreign policy -- to make the world safe for political correctness.

BTW, great comments.

[GloriaJane]

Great read!

Rice needs to run for, be elected to, and function well in a high position BEFORE she runs for President.

If it would come down to it, I would take an underprepared Republican over a democrat.

[FeeinTennessee]

I don't think now is the time to have a woman leading the most powerful nation on the planet.

I googled “Peter Paul,” “Hillary Clinton,” and the word “fraud” and it just made me angry all over again. You know, I have to take a step back and simply marvel at what all a Clinton can get away with. But once the moment has passed, I very much want her and her husband to share a cell for the rest of their unnatural lives. Hmmm...maybe they could bunk with Saddam. They all have a lot in common ideologically.

"The issue today is “Should America have a woman President?”

"I reply, “Of course, and not a moment too soon."

I disagree with that statement. I am a women and most women (I know) would rather have a man than another women as the head. For that reason it gives me hope that the women of this country WILL NOT vote for a women for President. Especially Hilliary. I think most women CAN NOT stand her or her shrill voice.

I am hoping the Republicans put up a GOOD STRONG man and Hilliary will be beat for sure.

I just don't think the United States is ready for a women and in my own opinion I hope we never are.

[MikefromOhio]

I think a woman President is past likely and is something around a definite.

Within the next 3 election cycles, there WILL be a Female POTUS.

I can only hope that it's a Republican.

Kamala Harris, someday, if we are not vigilant. You read it here first.

[Brilliant]

I think Condi would have a better chance of becoming VP than President. On the other hand, we really don't have front runner for pres.

[Grampa Dave]

Excellent oped.

Actually, CB, for the folks on the left, their support for military action is inversely proportional to our level of national security at stake. So they are playing to their core audience here - the folks who applauded Kosovo but shriek that Iraq is an "illegal war" - even though Kosovo was carried out with no UN resolutions and against the terms of the Nato charter, whereas Bush had a slew of UN resolutions backing what he did in Iraq, dating back to the Gulf War.

I think it will be interesting to see how the Republican Presidential candidates will be forming a line in front of Condoleeza Rice's front door in order to have her as their Vice President.

Then she can run for office be successful at it and be the next President.

[dynachrome]

"litter the staff of Ms. Davis’" Well. I consider Hitlery the pick of the litter because she is a B----

[dfrussell]

Many women would not vote for a woman for President... probably less men.

Particularly after the recent examples of leadership we've seen from the Governor of LA etc.

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

I reply, “Of course, and not a moment too soon. But shouldn’t we put a LITTLE thought into which woman would be good for the job?”

I for one think this is just as applicable to FReepers who assume Condi Rice would a capable candidate in a national election, let alone an actual conservative President. The fan fiction I see on here regarding her potential running disappoints me. Not just that we don't know what she stands for on political issues (other then she opposed the Bush Administration on its stance on the Affirmitive Action/U of Michigan case,) but its truely disappointing that the Republican party doesn't have a deep bench that her name even comes up.

[thelastvirgil]

Deep in the recesses of the collective brain of our society, where all the deepest, darkest secrets lie, is the undeniable truth that, political correctness aside, we are not yet ready for a woman president. No more than we are for a Jewish president, or a black one.

All this trepidation and fear of a Hillary candidacy fascinates me, though. I can't imagine a bigger disaster for the rats. Her thighness's vaunted husband, with all his charm and bubbaness, never garnered more than 46% of the vote, and owes his being elected in the first place to a Texan that literally hated George H.W. Bush.

Without the Perot phenomenon, there would never have been the eight-year-long nightmare of the first Clinton presidency. Unless McPain opens a very well-funded third-party run for POTUS -- and I doubt that can happen --, there will not be a second one. Trust me on this one, and relax, already.

[Flavius]

well im waiting for the first trans gender metrosexual retrosexual president that switches gender going into second term president...

[Keith in Iowa]

But Hillary is no Maggie Thatcher.

Got that right...
