I am anti-abortion. I consider abortion to be infanticide. No one should ever have the "choice" to legally comment infanticide. So, even though she is OK as Sec State. She can forget being the Republican nominee. Also, I find myself getting really ticked at President Bush setting her up to run for president.
One final zinger - even remotely suggesting she holds "libertarian" views makes her obnoxious to me. There are two groups on this forum that I just can't abide - hard core atheistic/naturalistic evolutionists and libertarians.
If Roe V.Wade is ever overturned...isn't that what will happen?
So much for Congo Lisa! We've had all the pro death presidents that we can handle.
Amen.
I certainly won't vote for Rice in a Republican primary, and I will vote independent in 2008 if she is the nominee. I don't see the "there" there in her "candidacy" that others do. But she could wind up the nominee. Why? Republicans hate being called "racist" or "sexist." And they think Rice would make them immune to such "charges." The GOP needs a backbone transplant.
I'd like to know what makes Condi Rice qualified to be president. I'd like to know her stances on domestic issues. DEFECIT SPENDING, Taxes, 2nd Amendment(I've heard good there, although 2ndhand), jobs, life, trade, the UN, judges, border security, and the size of government.
Domestic issues come first with me.

Kinda like being "mildly" pregnant, you either are or you are not.
I think Condi just aborted her chance of being nominated.
#1.
would hillary be better?
"Mildly pro-choice" is that anything like being "a little pregnant?"
Ms Rice's true colors are beginning to show, and I hope some here open their eyes.
She's little different than her predecessor at State.
And I don't mean that in a good way.
Think about that. President Hillary Clinton. She would do grievous harm to America as president, if we all refused to vote for Condi Rice.
I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me Hillary or give me Darth---is not a decision I can afford to avoid.
I'm an ex-libertarian, & I've got to say that you will just hafta deal w/ us. TOO BAD if you don't like us, 'cuz we're not goin away. There IS a pro-life faction w/in the libertarian movement, & one of them has a website called Libertarians for Life (I love their logo!):
http://www.l4l.org
& it disappoints me when I hear everyone say that all libertarians support abourtion. I strongly agree w/ you that abortion is murder (I wouldn't use the word "infanticide", but I do believe that it IS murder).
The member of Congress that I admire the most, Rep. RON PAUL (R-TX) is strongly pro-life; & as a matter of fact, as a medical doctor, he has delievered 4.00 babies! Please don't paint libertarians w/ such a broad brush.
Bump for later.
Bye bye Condi, and we hardly knew ye, until now.
Here's the deal, as far as the RINOs go, the folks who will vote for anyone with an (R) listed after their name on the ticket, this debate is pointless.
Their vote is A LOCK. They don't matter. The debate can be for the "heart and soul" party, but they are not it. "They" vote for the person with the (R) after the name, remember?
It is vitally important that we let the party leadership know we will not support a wishy-washy candidate. The Republican platform, no matter what nonsense posted here, has always been pro-life. We can't let this one slip under the rug. If we do, and the Republican party walks away from a firm stance on this life or death issue--then who will stand for the rights of the *living* unborn?
Let those who will vote for anyone because of their label go on and do whatever you can *count* on them to do. Those who are principled, however, must let their voices be heard.
I'll wait until I hear what she really said.
But, she can't win the election. The Bubbas will never vote for a woman or a person of color. Sorry, it won't happen and until it does, it's a losing proposition.
That's the political reality. Run a white male from the South or you will lose. So, find one who meets our needs and be done with it.
Taller than 6 foot.
Good Hair.
Governor.
Not a Senator.
White.
Male.
Lawyer or Doctor.
Married.
Less than 3 children.
Religious.
Pro-2nd Amendment.
If you don't meet those qualifications, don't apply. Just the reality of the situation. Anything else, and you are just pissing your money and time away.
Never realized there were so many fools like you around here.
