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.
'Mildly pro-choice'= Pro-abort.
I wouldn't vote for her.
Anybody on this thread that sacrificed their views on illegal immigration for the GOP can surely overlook abortion too.
There's just not enough information about Rice's capability
to actually run the office, and not just running for office.
Eggs and chickens come to mind here, and I believe that some
people here are making too many assumptions about any future
candidate this early in the Presidential term.
Go have a starbucks and buy an almanac for crying out loud.
Spring is hovering over the horizon.
She is wrong on this issue.
I will not vote for a pro-abortion presidential ticket.
"mildly pro-choice" is Drudge's term .
For as many people she would lose,she would gain more. Most people are not single issue voters.
I know it would thrill people to no end to be a racist for a day. Voting for the FIRST black female President would mean the world to them and especially if she was a Republican fiscally and well, a LIBERAL socially. LIBERALtarians have many flaws and abortion is one MAJOR flaw. I find it more disgusting that Condi, a FEMALE possess this heartless flaw. No, she will not have my vote and I will do nothing to see her elected.
Condi believes that, like me, govt doesn't belong in the abortion issue. She has obviously thought this issue through, unlike others.
Will not get mine.
Condi will be a tremendous plus for the Republican ticket, more likely as veep than president. Her election will create a major longlasting change in the way blacks perceive the Republican party. It would be a sharp, possibly decisive, blow to the Democrats.
Same here. But then I feel the same way about any member of the president's cabinet.
"No one should ever have the "choice" to legally comment infanticide."
anencephaly n: a defect in brain development resulting in small or missing brain hemispheres. A congenital absence of the brain and cranial vault, with the cerebral hemispheres completely missing or greatly reduced in size.
Is this an infant?
The government does force it's view on abortion, every day. It forces it's view on approximately 1 million babies per year. The indirect victims are also the mothers who have scarred themselves for life in the name of "chocie."
...then I am strongly anti-Condi...
The more I think about Rice seeking the presidency, the more convince I am that she will poll less than 40 percent of the vote were she to be nominated.
... You are either for abortion or against it, or you are just plain confused.
Many of us have agreed to the compromise of the first trimmest. The conflict of 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' vs. life reduced to a definition. The definition of life. The compromise is defining the first trimester as a 'thing'. It isn't, and I know it, but if we can focus we can win, and if we can win we can effect change for the better.
... Also, I find myself getting really ticked at President Bush setting her up to run for president ...
This blather makes me suspect your purpose here
One final zinger - even remotely suggesting she holds "libertarian" views makes her obnoxious to me.
Your post is obnoxious to me. I suspect she would never receive your vote, and I suspect that W didn't receive your last vote. Take your non-abidence and either move to a mountantop, or shove it!
If she's serious about being president, she needs to get some experience in elected office and in an administrative office. IF she could be elected mayor of a large city or governor of a state, she'd be in a better position.
Another point is that Republicans generally don't support candidates who don't have "real world" experience. George W. and George H.W. Bush both had business experience in Texas before going into politics. Granted, each of them had help in business from family connections, but they still lived and worked in the real world for a while. Ronald Reagan had somewhat real world experience as an actor and as head of the actor's union. Admittedly, acting is not quite as "real world" as most jobs, but it was more of a real world job when Ronald Reagan started. I don't remember whether Richard Nixon ever had real world experience before running for Congress in California. Gerald Ford was an fluke. Ike Eisenhower was a general. Dr. Rice has an impressive resume, but she still doesn't have much experience outside government and academia. That omission hurts her as a candidate.
Bill
With all due respect, it's this kind of attitude that plays right into the hands of the liberals who rant that the pro-life side is made up of nothing but fanatics. You have no clue what Dr. Rice means when she says she's mildly pro-choice. Choosing leaders based on just one issue is not just idiotic, it's suicidal.
