I am not critizing, I am merely pointing out she has no public record to speak of. What you have consistly said is that she supports the 2nd Amendment and she'll transform the country alla Lincoln. I don't remember you reserving judgement. I do remember you promoting her for president.
If in fact you are willing to wait for her to promote hew views, then why dream of putting her up against Hillary and pipe dreaming about grabbing black and female votes if you don't know where she stands now?
Do I really have to tell you the principles of the Reagan platform - father of the modern day conservative? Isn't that required knowledge to troll here?

I promote her for all the reasons I have articulated in this thread. I reserve judgment as to whether or not to vote for her because the election is 3 years away- and as I indicated, she must stay true to the conservative agenda and modify her pro-choice stand- which I assume she will.
You could, for instance, say you support George Allen now. But what if he says in 2008 he will accept a pro-choice running mate? Do you still support him then?
One can only form an opinion for the here and now- I support Dr. Rice for President now, believing she will modify her views on abortion by 2008 and remain conservative.
As for President Reagan; he had 2 abiding principles (1) Don't speak ill of a fellow Republican; and (2) someone who agrees with me 9 out of 10 times is my friend.
Perhaps, these principles would be worth contemplating as you continue to attack our Republic Secretary of State. If you don't want to vote for her as President that's certainly your perogative- to demean her as unworthy to run for the office for lack of competency- is an absurdity. Perhaps you would like to meet her face to face and debate her?
