Palin: Condi Rice "Would Be A Wonderful Vice President"
Real Clear Politics ^ | July 13, 2012

Posted on 07/13/2012 11:36:49 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

"I think that Condoleezza Rice would be a wonderful vice president and she certainly has much more experience than our sitting president," former Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) said when asked for her reaction to news that Rice is near the top of Romney's list for VP.

Palin is asked by host of "On the Record" Greta van Susteren what she thought about Rice being "moderately pro-choice."

Palin tells host of "On the Record" Greta van Susteren that she would prefer a pro-life vice presidential candidate, however she says ultimately the power to legislate abortion does not lie with the vice president.

It’s not Sarah’s place to attack a quasi-Republican whom she may have to stump with in coming months. To attack Condi would have been stupid on her part. HOWEVER, I can say that Condi would be an unmitigated disaster both for Romney and for America. Her foreign policy thinking is downright goofy. Her love of *democracy* is insane. Bob

A case can be made that almost anybody COULD be a good VP.

Even Joe Biden has been an excellent VP.

How about she’s just another RINO, like Colon Powell.

How about, it was whites (if that matters to ‘them’ we ought to make a point of it) that appointed both Colon and Condi to their positions and put them on the national stage. But as soon as a half-black came along on the DNC ticket, they both supported him...because of his race.

How about she pretty much sucked at her job and enabled the left to turn the Iraq into a Vietnam argument?

How about she’s pro-choice, regardless of the mental acrobatics she performs to explain why she doesn’t want to make abortion illegal?

How about she just isn’t prepared to be president should something happen to Romney?

How about we have real, true conservatives out there that would be excellent VPs and who I trust more as president in that scenario (West)?

How about this is just another instance of the GOP shoving their middle finger in the face of the conservatives, without whom, they go the way of the Reform Party?

How about two RINOs on the GOP ticket really are not any better than two leftists on the DNC ticket, they’ll just take smaller steps toward that cliff to the left that we are rushing toward?

Where is she on the 2nd Amendment? Gay marriage? Socialist medicine? The free-market vs. socialism? Yes, she spoke out about storming Washington because she’s afraid, but where has her support been for the past four years? She’s been silent, unlike Palin who sticks her neck out constantly to support conservative principles.

The only reason I consider voting for Robamney is the hope that he’ll nominate constitutionalists to the USSC. But looking back at who he appointed in when he was governor and his overall liberal stances, if he chooses a RINO for his running mate, I flush that hope down the toilet and go third party.

The economic Armageddon that we are facing can only be averted by drastic action in support of the principles our Founding Fathers put in place when they forged this country. Anything less (socialism-lite) will result in that Armageddon within the next 4-8 years. If it is a “Republican” and a representative of greedy Capitalism, that will be used to lay the blame of the economic collapse on Republicans, Capitalism, the free-markets, limited government...in short...conservatism.

We don’t need another stinking RINO (RINOs, if it’s Rice) enabling the left to blame us for the disaster that is the result of their leftist policies.

And with each post you continue to illustrate the fact that you are on the Obama re-election committee.

Give it up, LS.

THE ONLY ONES WHO HELP OBAMA are: TEAM ROMNEY


Mitt Romney Sends Leftover Pizza to Obama Chicago HQ
After spending the day in Chicago fundraising, Mitt Romney
sat down with small business owners at Gino's East,
a pizza joint famous for their deep-dish pizza.
In fact, Romney himself tweeted a photo of a
delivery boy heading out with the loot, writing,
"Great deep dish at @ginoseast.
Sending the extra slices to @barackobama and his Chicago HQ team."

“I’m rather excited with the prospect of Condi for veep.

Don’t understand the opposition around here to her. She would get us a win in the general.

After that, the VP is a rather powerless position”


I don’t get it either. I think she’d make a great choice. A choice that would virtually guarantee Obama gone...hell that alone makes her attractive in my eyes

I understand she’s pro abortion but Romney would be president so he would set the social agenda

Delude yourself as long as you wish. You remind me of the fringe parties in Germany who, rather than align with the “hated” Catholic Center Party, maintained their purity and fractured the anti-Hitler vote. Carry on, Obamaite.

I will not vote for romney and neither Palin nor Rush is going to change that... only romney could change that...--LLS

Obama is the absolute worst thing that has happened to America, at least in a very long time. We need to get him the hell out of there. I'd vote for Fidel Castro over him. At least he's honest about who and what he is. Wasn't always, but he basically is now. Nothing wrong with trying to push Romney to the end in hopes he'd change some of his liberal murky ways prior to the election. But Obama simply must go. We will have a very difficult time surviving 4 more years of this commie SOB. For the sake of national security alone, he must go. But of course you have every right to do what you want. But try to visualize, if you will, that commie SOB with a big gaping smile on his face after winning the election. If that mental image doesn't PROFOUNDLY sicken you, I don't know what will.

Why is Palin making a complete ass of herself over this RINO loser trial balloon? Evaporating cred.

You really should try to come up with a better post to implement the tactic of shaming someone. If you are truly interested, you can read my past posts over the last two weeks and you will understand in great detail... including hard video evidence of mitt in person and in his own words... explaining why he is the worst gop candidate of my lifetime.

I NEVER voted for mccain... I voted for Palin. mcbuttface was just on the same ticket. mccain’s people... with the help of the rats in the press... did their best to destroy Sarah Palin and those same mccain advisers now work for mitt... here is a factoid... they worked for mitt when they worked for mccain.

I have never voted for a rat bastard communist in my entire life... and I have been a gop activist for almost 40 years. I voted for the mccain/Palin ticket but you need to get something straight in your own mind. mccain is an a$$... he is a progressive... he was a horrible aviator and according to some Swift Boat Veterans for Truth members... he was no war hero. He is PRO LIFE and he is pro defense and while he is a liar, he has not inverted his ideology 180 degrees and become the opposite of what he has been for all of his life and political career... just to be elected president by running as something and someone that he is not. Savvy?

I am only pointing out that when push comes to shove Republicans will support other Republicans even if what they believe is not in line with the party platform. Condoleeza Rice does not completely support the platform. Any candidate that does not, is more or less A RINO. I worked on Bob Doles campaign in 96 and when Bob said that he does not feel bound to the party platform I knew right then that we had lost the election. Because like it or not conservatives tend to vote on principle.

The Democrats on the other hand will vote for the Anti-Christ as long as he is a Democrat.

Now if you are stating that I am voting for obama... you sir have become as big of a liar as obama. A vote for ANYONE BUT obama... is a vote for ANYONE BUT obama.

I am a Conservative... I know who I am and exactly what I believe in. I have compromised with the gop/e for my entire lifetime and except for Reagan... I have always voted for their manufactured candidate... who is always carefully designed as the lesser of two evils. I do not have enough time left in my life to waste another 4 years waiting for the gop/e to change and for Conservatives to stand up and Carpe Diem.

The last three elections have been the most important elections of our lifetime... and every election going forward in this Republic will also be the most important election of our lifetime... due to the awful conditions amongst our electorate and their state of education on the reality of life. If we Conservatives do not stand united and emulate how the left controls their party... and they control its every move... then we will always be the underclass in the gop. If not now... when? Never? If mitt wants my vote... as with anyone else from now on... he will have to EARN it. He has not and unless he signs a legally binding Contract with America that LEGALLY locks him in on Abortion, Assault Weapons Ban and Amnesty all other issues that are the foundational principles of Conservatism... he will not earn it. He is a liar and a fraud and without binding agreements... his words are as hollow as obama's.

Whatever you think of Romney---and I don't care how much a "liar" or "fraud" you think he is---there is simply no way to compare him to Obama.

But I'll ask you one thought experiment then we can go our own ways:

If Romney wins, in 2016 what are the odds we will have a free and fair election? I put them at over 95% with only an "extinction level emergency" somehow pre-empting that (as it would have with Reagan or anyone else).

If Obama wins, in 2016 what are the odds we will have a free and fair election? And, after that, that ANY conservative, ever, would be elected again? I put it at zero to, max, 25%. I think anyone who votes in anyway other than to ensure another free election in this country is seriously misguided and ultimately dangerous.

Yes, but a vote for anyone but the person who has a chance of beating Obama does us no good in terms of removing his butt from office. 4 more years of this treasonous commie POS?? I can't even bear to think of it.

Open Mic Catches Obama Asking Medvedev for Space on Missile Defense
March 26, 2012

"In a private conversation about the planned U.S.-led NATO missile defense system in Europe, President Barack Obama asked outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for space on the issue.

This is my last election,” Obama told Medvedev. “After my election I have more flexibility.”

“I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir,” Medvedev said, referring to incoming President Vladimir Putin."

http://fox8.com/2012/03/26/open-mic-catches-obama-asking-medvedev-for-space-on-missile-defense/
__________________________________________________

Obama was talking with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev when neither of them realized that their conversation was being picked up by microphones. Here is what they said:

Obama: “On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it’s important for him to give me space.”

Medvedev: “Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you ...”

Obama: “This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility.”

Medvedev: “I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.”

“This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.” That statement tells us much about the president’s mindset.

The specific mention of missile defense is worrisome enough. Mr. Obama has retreated from the missile defense plan that was negotiated with European allies during the George W. Bush administration. Apparently, he is signaling Moscow that he intends to retreat further. The clear implication from the president’s comments is that he cannot tell the American people before the election what he plans to do after the election.

In addition, there is the phrase “on all these issues,” implying more is at stake than just missile defense.”

Thank you for your kind words. I have no animosity for fellow Conservatives and LS is a Conservative. I even understand where he is coming from and why. I used to think just like him and the others do. I try not to get to emotional over their party line thinking because I understand it... I just no longer agree with it and with romney and the way the corrupt gop/e manufactured this past primary and mitt being the absolute worst nominee in my lifetime... I have said enough is enough. NEVER again! Keep the faith. We are ALL going to have to work together to rebuild this Republic regardless of the coming election and the result of it. I am praying for a miracle in Tampa.
