It's time of real conservatives to stand and fight!
Without question, though, Condi has the more compelling life story. And, how can you say that a person who personally knew two victims of civil rights violence, is a championship athlete, concert pianist, and speaks fluent Russian and French isn't qualified to be President when a fat, philandering, high-school band sax-playing low-life who ran the 49th worst state in the union made the cut?
I like to watch her eat liberals for lunch, however they're a very poor source of nutrition.
I don't care if it is a women or a man or whatever. It is their policies and positions that matter. What the heck does a candidate being a woman have to do with being qualified to be president.
Yep. Unfortunately there are plenty of people around here that are more than willing to simply because of the demographic appeal. If (ha!) Hillary runs, however, we may not have much of a choice.
Look here: http://www.americansforrice.com/
I wouldn't trust Rice as POTUS. She was a total failure as the NSA.
More empty-headed bloviating from the toe-sucker. BS.
But the toe sucker is on our side now.
toe boy is on his own side....he has no loyalty...he is FOR whoever is signing his check at the time.
First, me too.
Second, the only concern I have is that we are able to produce ANY candidate with an acceptable enough platform and ideologies that they can get the support of the entire conservative base.
Then again, in Hillary's case the "Anybody but..." vote that didn't work for the "No more Bush" cause may work against her.
Even if she is pro-choice, I suspect that she is against Roe v. Wade on the grounds that it should remain up to the states.
I think those boots got to the toe-sucker.
She's too one-dimensional in a lot of ways. We know her foreign policy and security philosophy, but haven't got a clue what her tax policy, economic policy, social policy, or position on social security or medicare might be. Those things are as important or more so than security to the average American.
Add that to the fact that she's a black woman, and the fact that neither major party has ever nominated either a black or a woman for President, because whether you like it or not, those factors impact the way voters vote. Of course, that wouldn't deter me from voting for her if she were nominated, but I would be nervous about her chances of winning, if I were to have to choose in the primary between her and someone equally good who did not have those handicaps.
As I said, though, I think she'd make a good President, and I would have no hesitance to support her for VP. It's the Presidential candidate that the voters vote for anyway, and I am quite certain that she could only help the ticket if she were in the no. 2 spot. She would definitely not be a drag on the ticket in the no. 2 spot.
I dont think anyone could know any candidates position of what those areas. Certainly not bush. Candidates can campaign on issues but if they are not strong leaders they will not get legislation passed. Condi has overwhelming respect by republicans and DEMOCRATS INSIDE DC. She has some of the greatest experience of a candidate male or female, black or white that has run in 50 years. Domestic experience with nation security director, International policy as secretary of state, and if she takes cheneys place next year legistlative ( president of senate)
She could represent a gigantic cultural shift in this country if elected. It would split the black vote from the jesse jackson crowd and the emergence of the black republican in this country. Sort of like the fall in the middle east. Believe me Bush has the foresight to make this happen.
I think that if Cheney quit and Bush appointed her VP, that would definitely alter the dynamics.
Pray for W and Terri
