This suggestion sure has created a lot of postings. I especially liked "Hitlery." There should be more of that kind of recognition of the danger she poses. And don't forget her gestapo, who keep authors they don't like off tv, even Fox (those cowards). I'd vote for Condi even though she's anti-life and I'm pro-life. She's better than Rudy and certainly better than pink John, the MSM's darling. (Ever consider how they'd treat him if he were running against Hitlery? Hah!)
AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH RICE'S POSITION ON ABORTION?
Miss Rice said abortion should be "as rare a circumstance as possible," although without excessive government intervention. "We should not have the federal government in a position where it is forcing its views on one side or the other.
"So, for instance, I've tended to agree with those who do not favor federal funding for abortion, because I believe that those who hold a strong moral view on the other side should not be forced to fund it."
Describing pro-lifers as "the other side" is one of the ways Miss Rice articulates her position as a "mildly pro-choice" Republican. She explained that she is "in effect kind of libertarian on this issue," adding: "I have been concerned about a government role.
"I am a strong proponent of parental notification. I am a strong proponent of a ban on late-term abortion. These are all things that I think unite people and I think that that's where we should be.
"We ought to have a culture that says, 'Who wants to have an abortion? Who wants to see a daughter or a friend or a sibling go through something like that?' "
Miss Rice described abortion as an "extremely difficult moral issue" which she approaches as "a deeply religious person."
"My faith is a part of everything that I do," she said. "It's not something that I can set outside of anything that I do, because it's so integral to who I am.
