Be Seeing You,

Good luck, but she won't get my vote. Unless she's changer her pro-abortion views that is.
Interesting site. Dr. Rice is a well-educated woman who has overcome much adversity to get where she is. I'd be more comfortable with Dr. Rice as a candidate if she was pro-life, though. That issue would prohibit me from voting for her.
She has said over and over and over and over....that she is not running and has no interest in running.
Pro-life will remain an issue, no matter if GWB appoints nine justices to the Sup Ct.
The open borders and our immigration policies are hot issues right now also.
And a President is more than a functionary in the office. A President is a leader, and a leader must carry in his heart the same deep convictions and the same high aspirations as his followers carry in their hearts. He must, in his spirit, stand on the same bedrock and see the same stars---it doesn't matter if he won't reach those stars, but the people expect him to see what they see.
I would joyfully campaign for Condi Rice if she were pro-life, anti-euthanasia, and said just a few things that need saying about the integrity of our borders and our Constitution. It would not matter to me if she could not put her ideas into effect immediately. Leaders lead you there.
It remains to be heard, what she carries in her heart on many vital issues. It remains to be seen whether she is a leader---or merely a superlative Secretary.
Has an unmarried person ever been president?
I am reading Rise of the Vulcans, right now. Highly recommended. Based on that book, Rice has my vote. She would be GREAT.

I like Condi's personal qualities but have no idea where she stands on the social/domestic issues. What kinds of judges would she appoint? Would she be as reliiable a conservative as Allen or Santorum?
S-9, you know that I like Ms. Rice as a person, and appreciate her talents and gifts and how she has used them in the service of our country.
You also know that I oppose her for any elective office primarily because of her pro-choice position.
I, and many like me, will not support a pro-choice candidate under any circumstances. Period.
But I have another bone to pick with your favorite political figure: i.e. the Administration's current willingness to negotiate with Abu Mazen, who was a terrorist associate of Arafat for fifty years.
He was the chief financier of the '72 slaughter of the Israeli Olympic team, is a Holocaust-denier, and his propaganda organs are still spewing murderous racist hatred and incitement to kill Jews and Americans.
What the Administration and Sharon are doing to the Israelis right now would not be countenanced anywhere else in the world.
The rock-solid principles that the President stated so eloquently vis a vis terrorists, and those who support them, are being violated in the worst possible way.
bump!
Ain't gonna happen. Social conservatives will bolt or sit. Either way, if she is the nominee, the Dims will win the WH. Give it up unless that's your goal.
It'll be hard for me to support a pro-choice candidate. But I'll support her over McCain (since I don't consider him pro-life).
Interesting website. It has everything on it except what she stands for.
Condi wants to be the NFL Commisioner. But if she runs for president, I'd vote for her just on her 2nd Amendment stance.
I vote for George Allen, with Condi as VP.
When they fire up "Americansforareaganrepublican.com" let me know. Until then I'll plan on doing what I did in 1976: forget about the national ticket and find conservative house/senate candidates and support them.
