The Power of Rice (Condi vs. Hillary, 2008)
National Review Online's The Buzz ^ | June 14, 2004 | Eric Pfeiffer

The Power of Rice

The Hotline also polled on some questions concerning 2008. In their poll, Hillary Clinton has a positive approval rating of 48 to 44 percent.

By contrast, Condoleezza Rice has a 59 to 25 percent approval rating.

By an overwhelming percentage of 85 to 9, respondents said they would be comfortable supporting a female candidate for the White House. And by a greater margin, 86 to 4 percent, participants said they would vote to support an African-American candidate who was well qualified.

Rice also strongly outpolls Clinton on all national security questions: who is stronger on national security issues, ability to handle an international crisis, ability to protect the U.S. from a terrorist attack, ability to manage Iraq and ability to be a “strong and decisive” leader.

Gillman, I'm not treat seriously anyone who questions Rice's patriotism. You should know that by now. Just because she's a member of the CFR doesn't mean that she's selling out the country, for God's sake.

Now please get a grip.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Not to mention he has NO American ancestry, and was not born in an American family...that completely disqualifies him.

No pro-choice Republican has a chance in the primaries.

Rice IS a member of the CFR.

So friggin' what! There are a lot of people, left and right that belong to the "CFR". It proves nothing, but the negative implication says a lot about you!

This business about running Condi is just silly. The only reason why you people want her to run is because you afraid of the beast. Hear this: the next president is George Allen. The next VP will be Ken Blackwell. The beast has no chance, notwithstanding what that idiot little dick morris has to say.

What is Condi's position on The Medicare Bill?
What is her position on No Child Left Behind?
In What way is she a conservative?

This agreement which we will have no chance to agree to, essentially erases our nation and obligates the former American taxpayers to support ALL the losers in Mexico, instead of just the millions of criminal invaders we have now.

There are provisions for Mexican and Canadian LEO's to ply their trade in the former U.S.

The plan is to make one big country out of the three and there will be no Constitution like we have now.

Robert Pastor:

...The third institution would be an inter-parliamentary group on North America. So much of the agenda on North America today is domestic, which is another way of saying that our parliaments have a very important role to play, and yet our parliaments are mostly pulled backwards by their constituencies, rather than forwards to looking at how their constituencies relate across borders. And perhaps the only way to compensate for that would be to have our parliamentary leaders meet every other year in a North American context addressing an agenda very similar to the one that the North American advisory council would develop for the summit meeting....

More:

...A sixth institution that was mentioned both by Pedro Aspe and Bill Weld is a North American investment fund to narrow this development gap between Mexico and its neighbors...

Bleeding the taxpayers dry.



...Seventh, to encourage an identity and to encourage research and to encourage our students to recognize that they are not only citizens of each country, but residents of North America; to sponsor Centers for North America Studies in all three countries very similar to what the European Union does in all of our countries, but which none of our countries do for ourselves...

Fianlly Paul Manly:

...MANLEY: There are quite a few of those things. [Laughter] I've been making a habit of saying many of them. You know, when we dealt with this in 2001, the immediate interpretation of perimeter was elimination of border...

This is treason, plain and simple.

So she belongs to the group charged with dissolving the nation but that's OK, she really isn't one of them.

Don't you bother reading about it either.
There are some pretty big words in it.

And that's why Giuliani, Rice and Arnold were first, second and third at last year's CPAC straw poll, right?! Give me a break all of the "hard-line" pro-life candidates were in the single digits.

Condi is hardly a favorite of Planned Parenthood:
1. She's against late-term abortions
2. She's for Roe v Wade being overturned in deference to state legislatures and courts (her libertarian view)
3. She's for parental notification.
4. She's against federal funding for any abortions.

That's not the constitutional amendment that the Pro Lifers want, but with a Conservative Supreme Court, these positons are clearly on the conservative side and would be a blow against the pro-choice groups who want the status quo -- allowing the murder of infants up until 24-26 weeks. These positions are the most expeditious way to reduce abortion in the US. Let's be realistic, millions of abortions will take place long before there is any possibility of an amendment being passed.

Yeah, yeah, I know! I've been hearing and reading about the CFR and their "evil" for years. Well, here's a big word for you "Paranoia". Enjoy living in it.

I want Condi because she is Condi, not because Hillary might run! I think she would be a great president would not take anything from anybody.

I like Condi, but this poll is useless. It is just like the polls that showed Colin Powell as the best choice.

Condi has not had to take stands on the issues, so she has not created any negatives. It is that simple.

I would LOVE to see Condi run. How about Arnold for Vice? (Although I'm not sure what that would do for succession.)

To be VP, you have to meet the qualifications for the Prez. Arnold is out.

Schwarzenneger (sp) is prohibited from holding any office in the line if succession to the presidency because he was not born as an American citizen.

Having read many of your posts over the years I am genuinely surprised to find you have your head so far up your ass as to be unable to even look at evidence presented.

That goes for Section9, too.

She has no positions, but it doesn't matter because she's black, and uhh a woman, and uhh she plays the piano.

What more could you ask for?

I have and there just is not any "there", there. I've heard about the evils of the CFR since the late 70's. It's a John Birch Society canard that is worn out, just like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. I don't believe that fiction, either. A few coincidental facts does not a conspiracy make. Sorry, but the CFR is just very old news to me.
