Black Conservatives.
Isn’t that an oxymoron?

Doesn’t matter to who or what they draft. I have decided to follow the lead of our black brethren and vote for a white candidate. Racial pride, ya Know.

She might be good as a Senetrix from California.

I agree completely about certain folks’ one issue litmus tests. Some would rather have Democrats sitting for six years on Senate committees than Republicans who might vote the right way 75% of the time. They want 100% or nothing and in a State like California we get 0%. But while I think she could possibly be one of the very few Republicans electable to Federal office from California, I would be very surprised if Prof. Rice is at all interested in the idea.

Much like those who didn’t vote for Romney, as a protest. The last two years of Obama will render this country unrecognizable from our former great country. We wouldn’t be facing Net Neutrality, Deferred Deportation, a Nuclear Iran, etc. , etc., etc. But those on FR, who refused to support Romney, are still proud of their non-decision. And I am scathed whenever I bring that up.

Too liberal for my tastes, but better than any known RAT alternative.

She is a big supporter of the second amendment so I would love to see her win and change some of the laws here.

How do you know she voted for Obama? I looked on the internet and saw this, “She never said who she planned to vote for, but had hinted broadly that she would support McCain by repeatedly stressing that she is a Republican.”

That’s what I thought. She DID vote for the Kenyan.

I don't think she ever said that. As the secretary of state she didn't say who she voted for and as secretary of state, she congratulated Obama on his win. She went on to say that she thought the fact that the country could elect an African-American was a sign of progress, but she never actually said she voted for him, so far as I know. You can make your own guess how she voted, but it's not a proven thing one way or the other.

Condi is a very intelligent woman. I imagine she is quite sad at how inept the ‘first black pResident’ has been. I think Condi loves America, so she can see clearly that L4B does not.
