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.
She's pro-abortion.
As someone said, it would turn Bush’s foreign policy into one of the big campaign issues.
We need the economy to be the main issue this campaign.
Only if the GOP is determined to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Pro-lifers WILL sit it out if a pro-choicer (the choice being child murder) is on the ticket.
And don-o says, "You can book it!"
“the VP is a rather powerless position”
I believe the common expression about the power of the VPOTUS is “not worth a bucket of warm spit”.
There was a hotel fire at the Willard in D.C. - a man tried to make his way past the firefighter barrier (it was Calvin Coolidge and he lived there) by saying
“I am the Vice President”.
At first the firefighter let him through - then asked “The Vice President of what?”
He said “The Vice President of the United States”.
The firefighter told him “Get back behind the line! I thought you were the Vice President of the HOTEL!”
Unless something happens to the president, then the VP is the leader of the free world.
But I've seen more than my share of Condi threads since Obama happened on the scene. There's often more than a little racism involved. At other times, sexism rears its ugly head.
It's despicable and beneath the aspirations of real conservatism.
I don't like her 'soft' prochoice view, it doesn't reflect my views, but that was in an interview four years ago and Romney's the top of the ticket. Practically speaking, Palin is right.
Obama can't wait to run against George Bush ...again...
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.

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
The opposition around Condi? Well, uh, she is Bush tainted. And Bush brought us Hussein Obuttcrack.
