Rice is just as La Raza friendly as Rubio is (she sucked up to Mexico and their open border agenda when she was SOS), and she's well to the LEFT of Rubio on other issues like abortion and Israel. In fact, I would argue she's to the left of Romney. I don't see your argument... Rubio's bad because his fan club promotes him with their fantasy about Hispanics voting Republican, but it's okay for Rice's fan club to promote her because of their fantasy we can trump Obama with a black female? She'll pull moderates and independents? Did her fan club miss the primary when Mitt "I was an independent during Reagan/Bush" won? You don't "balance" the ticket with another RINO. If she was a white male with the same horrid track record as Bush's SOS, nobody would give her the time of day.
I don't trust Rubio because I think he sell us out on immigration. But I KNOW Rice will, and if she's Romney's running mate I'm voting third party (I'm in a "safe Obama" state so it's not like my vote matters)
Rice is on my UNACCEPTABLE list along with other RINOs like Gov. Fortuno of Puerto Rico. Not just no, hell no.
Looks like Gary Johnson is only third party choice in IL so far.
