Rice pointedly declined to rule out running for president in 2008 on Friday during an hour-long interview with reporters at WASHINGTON TIMES, top sources tell DRUDGE. Rice gave her most detailed explanation of a 'mildly pro-choice' stance on abortion, she would not want the government 'forcing its views' on abortion... She explained that she is libertarian on the issue, adding: 'I have been concerned about a government role'... Developing late Friday for Saturday cycles... MORE...
they are. they would not support Rudy Giuliani either. I am convinced that many conservative would rather see Hillary win in 08, then go into a "scorched earth" mode against her using the Congress.
If they do, they will lose...
Let's run Doyle again!
We don't even know what "mildly pro-choice" means. It could mean she is against abortion except for cases of rape and incest. We should let her clarify her position before outright rejecting her.
Bump! I thought that's what conservatives believed!
She's got my vote after that!!!
I think Rudy Giuliani kicks butt and would love to see him rather than say my own US Senator McCain. I trust Rudy. I do not trust McCain.
If mildly pro choice means "in cases of endangerment of the mothers life", I can live with that, but otherwise....no. The democrats are proabortion, the republicans prolife. If that ever changes, there is little differentiation of the parties which supercedes this singular factor. How can a person pursue liberty and happiness if his or her life which is endowed by our Creator is denied by men? Heaven help this country to understand this. Let's fight about budgets, taxes, foreign policies,.....but if we forget the fact that we are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, this constitutional republic will be a large footnote to history.
Do the three exceptions make on 'slightly pro-choice'
Rape
Incest
Life of the mother
Yikes! Where'd that Y come from?
It's not even shared by a lot of people here.
You don't say you're libertarian over abortion if you just think abortion should be reserved for only rape, incest, or for the health of the mother.
Can you kindly explain to me how you can equate 'pro choice' with 'pro death?'
Did she even mention what party she planned running in? I wouldn't vote for her. She has never even held elective office before. Perhaps she should try running for a house seat or perhaps even the Senate first.
On that note, social conservatives need to understand that Rice or Clinton [gasp] will have little to no effect on overturning Roe V Wade. Note that even Pres Bush can't get his judicial nominees out for a floor vote.
The primary issue for the next decade is Terrorism, Immigration, Nuclear Proliferation. Condi is well suited to handle these issues.
Sitting out because of her position on abortion is grossly stupid. Perhaps thats why we are known as the Stupid Party.
That said, she's not my first choice anyway. Mark Sanford is.
I'd say YOU and Condi Rice ought to get together for a Planned Parenthood luncheon.
