Excellent-- she, and she alone, is what we need to defeat She-Who-Will-Not-Be-Named.
"Rice admitted to being mildly pro-choice (in favour of a womans right to choose) a position that for some right-wing voters will disqualify her immediately."
That's right. But it's time for some of you pro-life extremists to understand that you don't influence anything without being in the majority party. Get on the bus, stay on the bus, push your ideology AFTER the election.
snarks: "Republicans nominate Condi and then the Dems nominate Evan Bayh instead of Hillary"
Nonsense. Dems nominate WHO?!? The Dems have already nominated She-Who'... please. If I turn out to be wrong, I will publicly apologize to snarks and then I will EAT my website. The nomination of She-Who' in 08 is just about the most ineluctable force in the history of politics. For pete's sake, she's already a "moderate"!!
Hey, I think you're probably right that Hillary is the nominee-apparent of the Dems. But if some of the leaders of the party were to find a brain, they might have the sudden inspiration to use Hillary as the stalking horse for Bayh. And then the Dems might suddenly find themselves back in the White House again (shudder).
Once the Supreme Court is secure, they will no longer be relevant.
That's fine for after the primary. Before the primary it's time do decide who's driving the bus. I'd have no real problem with Condi as the driver. Although I think she needs some experience first, maybe as assistant driver (VP).
Yeah, you're going to make a lot of headway calling the overwhelming majority of the Republican party extremists.
Fact is, if Condi's the nominee, we lose. Pro abort Republicans cannot win national elections. Evangelicals will stay home in droves. You can talk about the politcs of it all until you're blue in the face.... they're still going to stay home.
Nominating Condi is suicide, IMO.
1) Without the pro-lifers, the GOP will NOT BE the majority party.
2) Talk to us about getting on the bus when we know who's driving. It ain't Condi yet.
And the fact that she's "mildly pro-choice" pretty much means she shouldn't just expect us to hand her the keys to the bus.
So far it has mattered, sing another tune, we have heard this one to many times before.
"mildly pro-choice (in favour of a womans right to choose) " ...
Spelling errors aside, this is blather wrapped up in blather.
