Ridiculous... do you even know what mildly pro choice means as defined by Condi Rice? Are all of you in this thread really closed minded to a black woman President?
Are you that big of an idiot to bring up race when nobody else did?
I can't believe that this is news. People who know Condi Rice have described her political points of view on other issue as "all over the board." Besides, she wants to be commissioner of the National Football League.

What? Why wait to find out; let's just go ahead and trash her!
they are. they would not support Rudy Giuliani either. I am convinced that many conservative would rather see Hillary win in 08, then go into a "scorched earth" mode against her using the Congress.
If mildly pro choice means "in cases of endangerment of the mothers life", I can live with that, but otherwise....no. The democrats are proabortion, the republicans prolife. If that ever changes, there is little differentiation of the parties which supercedes this singular factor. How can a person pursue liberty and happiness if his or her life which is endowed by our Creator is denied by men? Heaven help this country to understand this. Let's fight about budgets, taxes, foreign policies,.....but if we forget the fact that we are endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, this constitutional republic will be a large footnote to history.
Hush! Just because YOU don't have any convictions doesn't mean no one else can!
"Ridiculous... do you even know what mildly pro choice means as defined by Condi Rice? Are all of you in this thread really closed minded to a black woman President?"
Psst...you just played the race card.
Does anyone believe what a president believes about abortion will make a difference? Roe v. Wade won't be overturned any time soon anyway.
The woman part bothers me.
Black does not.
Her views on abortion are deal killers anyhow for me.
Has she ever run for any office. Folks here get carried away with her race and gender actually. Were she a white milkstool, who would even care?
Asking us if we really know what it means in the twisted context of a Libertarian semantic mind-***k does not convince any of us that we should support or vote for anyone who is pro-choice under any conditions.
Yes, it means that she condones murder of the most helpless.
Do you?
I do. It means vague. It's like the liberals who will not really say what they stand for but put out 'vague' instead. It's doublespeak.
It's: maybe I don't really believe in anything, but I can't say that. I can't say I'm pro-life because I'm a woman; single, childless and I do get the final say on what happens with me. I can't say I'm pro-choice because, who knows, maybe I could be on the Republican ticket.
A few more words from her and this guessing game would no be necessary. She could have said how she thinks and feels about abortion.

Wow.
I'm curious why you think Condi is qualified to be president. She hasn't been a mayor, governor, senator, congressman, councilman, or in any position of leadership in government. She hasn't been the owner or CEO or manager of any large, medium or small business.
She has been successful at what she has done but not in anything which has, before now, thought to be preparatory for being President.
While it is true that President of the United States is an Equal Opportunity Employer(so to speak), it is not a position where affimative action applies. So the idea that it's a woman's turn to be President, or a black's turn to be President or a black woman's turn to be President is ludicrous.
But you think that being a black woman somehow qualifies her. And who ever doesn't agree with you is closed minded. You have introduced the race card, and the minority card, and have illustrated why Condi will not be the next President. There are simply too many people who think like you.
yes.
yes they are.
condi believes a government that can regulate birth control, can REALLY REGULATE BIRTH CONTROL... as in RED CHINA and their forced abortion and sterilization programs.
these days, anyone who allows exceptions for the life or limb of the mother... is considered an abortionist around here... as well as those who use condoms or birth control pills... after all, bcp's CAN be used as an abortificient, we are lectured...
really it's primarily one particular religious sect's view of the issue, being promoted.
Condi could run, would get most of our votes, and we would win even if the "no one is pro life enough for me" crowd stayed home.
If we were to run a 'no exceptions' candidate, he or she would get what alan keyes got in Illinois... nothing to write home about.
Condi has my vote, were she to run.
It has to mean, willing to let people kill unborn babies. That's what "pro choice" means in today's lexicon. Being "mildly pro choice" means, literally, "mildly" being in favor of the killing of unborn babies. Sorry, but I prefer politicians who aren't in favor of the killing of unborn babies.
You are the only one to mention her gender or race, yet you project that on to others. Why?
I think the so-called "compassionate" conservatives have some deluded concept of "kinder, gentler" abortions. But IMHO, it's just a flimsy excuse because they don't really give a rat's patoot. These RINOs are more concerned with transnational business transactions, and don't want to be bothered by the moral issues of saving the lives of millions of unborn.
Black has nothing to do with it. Until I heard this, I was 100% for her as a candidate in 2008. However, one must draw the line somewhere.

Are you saying her political position shouldn't matter only the fact that she's a black woman?
