Hmmm

[albie]

Well, Palin just went down a notch in my book. The VP should directly reflect the thoughts and policy of the president as far as I’m concerned.

[surroundedbyblue]

No thanks

I don’t often disagree with anything Palin says, but on this one I must. To think that killing babies is OK, cannot be forgiven.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

I agree with SP. It is *other* things that IMO “disqualify” Condi. And I wouldn’t use the word “disqualify”, because in the 0bama/Maxine Waters/Joe Biden era of political buffoonery, the very concept of “qualifications” really does not exist.

I’ve lost even my write-in candidate now.

Of course not because it has nothing to do with being 'conservative'. She is African American and by God that is what the GOP needs. To 'reach out'.

[LookingUp]

I don’t think she wants to run BUT... what if she was the vp and in 8 years she was running for prez. What would Sarah say then? I don’t think i could vote in the election if she were the vp pick. except for the congress.
In my opinion the dems are wicked but the reps are stupid.

[BenLurkin]

Sarah...what?

[Huskrrrr]

I disagree. Also if Rice voted for Obama, why would anyone want her as a candidate?

[Faith]

Sorry. I refuse to even vote for a local school board candidate who isn’t pro-life. A person’s fundamental valuing of life permeates all other attitudes and decisions.

[steve86]

I’m like that, too. They think we’re mental cases but so be it.

[GBA]

I want my donation back.

[NELSON111]

To think that killing babies is OK, cannot be forgiven.

That is correct. To me...the person who thinks abortion is "OK" or a woman's choice has a mental defect. I cannot understand that mindset...and if they are that corrupted in their thinking...then they are likely corrupted about other things.

[doc1019]

Amen.

Sarah Palin: “We need to remember, though, that it’s not the vice president that would legislate abortion and that would be Congress’s role, and we’ll keep that in mind.”

And what happens if President Romney dies in office, and Condi Rice becomes President?

Here's what happens: if Congress should pass some pro-abortion legislation, 'President Rice' will have no problem signing it. Sarah should be asking Condi Rice how her opinion on abortion would have factored in if it had been the former piano-playing Secretary of State that had been carrying Trig for 9 months.

God bless Sarah Palin for choosing life.

But what would Condi have done in similar circumstances?

[bramps]

Another one bites the dust. I think Rush said something equally idiotic today.

[prisoner6]

Sarah is correct. While I disagree on the subject, I do not vote based on a single issue.

[muawiyah]

I heard what Palin said as she said it, and like she said it.

You are putting the OOOM PHASIS on the wrong SYL ABLE

What you have here is Palin simply not taking the bait to trash a former Secretary of State ~ for no good reason.

This was not, as those who know more about it have said, a Republican rumor ~ it was a Democrat rumor.

IN that light Palin's comment was pretty noncommital.

At the same time all that Romney has at stake if he picks an abortion rights supporter is the loss of the entire RTL community when it comes to campaigning on the ground, and most likely voting for the top of the ticket.

Remember, some Republicans have conspired together to make sure they are always known as 'the stupid party' and Mitt's dad was a charter member of that club ~ so there's no guessing just how stupid he can be.

I"m convinced he's a loser.
