Condi Rice is anti-abortion?

That's news to me.

This seems like a lot of idle rumors and unsupported facts. I don't think we should be speculating on the Vice President's health, or wishing him to resign.

[SURI]

She appears to be a sociopath, and so does her husband.

Their continued involvement in anything related to national policy and foreign involvments is a complete disaster.

Why is this person still in the news when what she is, and what she does is totally unimportant?

[Just mythoughts]

"She is a mean-spirited, duplicitous, heavy-handed manipulator with a vile mouth and ruthless resolve. Hillary is Lady Macbeth on steroids, heralded as either the great Democrat hope or the personification of evil."

Pretty much says it all.

[blitzgig]

I don't think we should speculate on Cheney's health, but I definitely agree that Condi would be a dynamo in '08. She may have a little difficulty stemming from the fact that she has not run for elected office before, but I believe that she is skilled enough to overcome it.

Can you imagine how sweet it would be to have the first black woman president a REPUBLICAN? The libs would be having spasms uncontrollably! ;)

[Grendel9]

8 years of Clintonesque machinations was revealing enough!

Hold On! The way to dispell a boggart is to LAUGH at it;
see it in a humorous vein; see it in ridiculous lumination.

But I digress...

[SMARTY]

"And, by the way, she's not only a woman; she's a black woman ... a black woman conservative scholar. HOOAH!"

Dr. Rice is a woman and a politician who has NEVER trashed the Military, who understands them and respects them. That's pure gold and a claim that Evita could NOT make even if her life depended on it.

While in the WH and as the First Lady (pardon the use of the word 'lady') Evita was super maladroit at every opportunity she had to do and be right by the US Military. I bet there are next to NO photos of her with Military personnel in the same frame. Maybe she will manufacture some for her campaign.

Like I said before, between now and the next national election, it will be a regular hoot to watch Evita jump in and out of her own rectum trying to be what she thinks will get her back into the WH. Dr. Rice just needs to be herself and I would certainly vote for her.

Hillary's Worst Nightmare

....is us!

[carl in alaska]

"The GOP base will love her (Condi)."

Generally I think this is true, but there could be some problems gaining support for Condi among the "good old boys" in the rural South and Midwest. This potential problem is not being discussed in corporate media because of its unsavory racial overtones. But I'm sure GOP pollsters will be quietly researching the strength of Condi's support in the reddest counties of the red states. I hope she has strong support there but I'm not so sure about it.

[TomGuy]

We will be mighty sick of the few national names being bandied about over the next 2+ years, from both parties.

Hillary won't even declare until after the '06. Allot can happen before then. Two years of 'if', 'when', 'what if', will get very old.

The same about Dr. Rice. And Guilini. And Kerry. And McCain. And Edwards. And Hagel.

If Hillary does get the '08 nod, she will have positioned herself to be more conservative than any in the previous paragraph. That is her win-win. Her party would have no where else to go, except their anointed one; and many right-wing conservatives don't see any RINOs as significantly viable alternatives.

Who else, so far, has come out against illegal immigration? You think that wasn't Hillary plan--to force the rest of the field (both parties) into uncomfortable or untenable positions. She will do similar on more issues in the coming months. Kerry and the Dems won't have the luxury of taking all sided on every issue; and neither will the Republicans. Hillary is already pushing the defense issue, too. That will marginalize the Deaniac and Hollywood wing--but where else are they going to go?

Yeh, Hillary is playing a cunning and determined game---against those in her own party, and the potential Republican contenders for '08.

I caught Sen. Clinton Sunday morning with Sen. McCain in an interview from Baghdad. Boy was she having a bad hair day! Maybe a good beauty parlor would be successful in Baghdad.

[Dilbert56]

It is vital that someone strong challenge Hillary for the Senate in 2006. It has to be someone she can't simply ignore the way Ted Kennedy did his last opponent. Then, this candidate has to pin down Hillary on her dance to the middle.

• Her pro-life comments need to be embraced and an open invitation extended. How far will you go Senator? Was it all just talk (yup)?
• You've said Iraq is a success, that the suicide bombers are indicative of our victory. How could we have suceeded so brilliantly there? According to your earlier statements we did everything wrong.

She has to emerge from that campaign bloodied and battered. She has to face running away from the Democrat party toward America and abandoning her base. Can she put socialism on hold for three years? The issue must be forced.

[thegreatbeast]

She is pro-gun, anti-abortion, pro-family, anti-taxes ...

Do we know this as fact or is it merely conjecture? I'll require proof before jumping on the bandwagon. Give me more information on Rep. Tancredo too.
P.S. If there is another significant act of terrorism before the election of '08, Republicans will blamed for it, probably rightfully so.

[Dead Corpse]

I would like my representation in government to be ruthless in DEFENSE of my Rights, not their DESTRUCTION. I've seen nothing from Hitlery to indicate that she has anything on her mind other than the acquisition of power.

[Quilla]

Hillary should be most frightened of her past.
One day, some day it will catch up with her.

[isthisnickcool]

I have a buddy that's been in the diplomatic protective biz for a few years. He's in the military. Reserves now.

He has a friend (yea, this is a heresay story) who is in the Secret Service and was assigned to the Clinton White House. During his orientation the agent was told he could speak to anyone that he ran across at the White House except one person. On his first day on the job the new agent had someone pass by him. Being a polite young man he said to her "good morning ma'am" to which he heard the caustic reply "F You!. This was said by Hillary Clinton as she passed by the young man sworn to die for her. She never even looked up at him.

True story? I think so.

[spokeshave]

She is a mean-spirited, duplicitous, heavy-handed manipulator with a vile mouth and ruthless resolve. Hillary is Lady Macbeth on steroids, heralded as either the great Democrat hope or the personification of evil.

And don't ever forget the head bobbing...you know

[Antoninus]

Condi Rice declared herself "reluctantly pro-choice." Thus, I am reluctantly anti-Condi. Sorry.

What irked me the most about this statement is that she co-opted the weasel-wording of the pro-abortion crowd by using the term "pro-choice." Last time I checked, the victim of abortion (the unborn child) had no choice.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Hillary is Lady Macbeth on steroids,

I always found her to be more of an Elena Ceausescu. (God, did I fantasize about angry peasants with AK47's back in '98.)

[Final Authority]

The talk is that Mitt Romney is on the short list should health concerns shorten the Term of Cheney. As they say, we'll see.

[freedumb2003]

The summary is:

Liberalism is dead. The democrats can't go to the right without being (accurately) portrayed as having no real values of their own. They can't go any further left, since they took Dean on as the head.

So what do you do when you believe in something that everyone sees is anti-Ameeican (which it is)? Tough choice.
