Hey Sen. McCain, what about Condi as VP?
done
Kansas City, MO — While some Washington politicos were buzzing Sunday about the possibility that Condoleezza Rice is actively campaigning for a vice presidential slot, Sen. McCain said any push by the Secretary of State is news to him.
“I did not hear that. I missed those signals,” McCain said aboard his campaign plane Sunday during a flight to Kansas City. “I think she’s a great American, I think there’s very little that I can say that isn’t anything but the utmost praise for a great American citizen, who served as a role model to so many millions of people in this country and around the world…I think her overall record is really very, very meritorious.”
While he praised Rice, McCain also noted that he believes she bears some responsibility for the early failures in Iraq–along with President Bush, Don Rumsfeld and Colin Powell. The latest Rice4VP speculation comes after former administration spokesman Dan Senor said on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday that Rice has been campaigning for a VP slot–even speaking to a meeting of economic conservative leaders including Grover Norquist.
Given that McCain will either face off against a female or African-American Democratic rival, VP tea leaf readers are debating what role gender or race may play in McCain’s selection. But the presumptive GOP nominee made clear Sunday that he is not quite there yet–still focused on the big picture.
“That’s a consideration that you might…take into consideration if you were anywhere along in the process. We’re not in any point in the process…but I think that Americans overall want the most highly qualified person to serve anywhere in government,” McCain said, when asked if he would be comfortable with two white men heading up the GOP ticket.
After McCain told the Don Imus radio show last Wednesday morning that he was starting to compile a list of potential running mates, his aides have attempted to reign him in regarding any VP talk and McCain downplayed most of the running mate questions today.
“We’re not talking about the process because it just then gets into things that could easily to spill over into an invasion of privacy,” he said at one point. Asked later about Mitt Romney as a potential VP, McCain reiterated, “we are just not talking about it. When you mention somebody’s name as being favorably mentioned or somebody else then all of a sudden it really can unfortunately result in invasion of privacy so were just not really talking about it. But I understand the curiosity but I think there is a very large number of very highly qualified people and we are not in any point where we would say ‘this person is more favored than another’ and to protect everybodys privacy, I don’t think we would ever say that.”
But McCain did chime in on the anti-Romney4VP advertising campaign launched by some former Huckabee supporters, joking that he could “save them some money if they’d just e-mail me. But if they want to make that statement through a paid political advertisement, that’s certainly their right.”

Well, lets not forget that McCain is a racist pig, regardless of the facts that Rice is an evil opportunist and Powell can’t see the forest from the trees.
Screw these warmongers. Let the human race evolve already.

Wow Kevin, what insightful comment using facts to make your arguments. You must be the “top dog” on the 5th grade school debate team.
[...] Similar News:New York Times: Rice Eyeing Ticket? That’s News to McCainFOXNews: Hey Sen. McCain, what about Condi as VP? [...]
Kevin,
I should apologize. After all you really COULD be a fifth grader. It would of been much better if I had been more “instructive”.
You see Kevin, in here you’ll hear a lot of wacky comments. Since it seems most in here are Democrats, you may hear statements that offer no logical point. But if you’d like to respond and
sound intelligent you have two ways you can go.
#1 Offer REAL arguments with facts to back them up.
(Now this is sometimes hard since others in here will make up facts or conveniently forget other facts pertaining to the issue about which they’re commenting.)
#2 Make funny sarcastic remarks that actually make people think.
(Example: You could make a comment about the Kennedys, they’re always good joke fodder, or perhaps the myth of global warming and Al Gore selling energy credits.) Do you get my drift?
I hope this has been a help to you in speaking in this forum. Now the only other thing you must remember is, don’t spend too much time in here, get your homework done.
Norm Coleman would be a far better choice for VP than Dr. Rice - the depth and breadth of his domestic credentials are what John needs to balance his own foreign policy experrtise.
I think that Gary coleman should be vp
I do think if McCain goes up against Obama in the general election that Condi wouldn’t be a bad pick.We have seen through this democratic process(mess) that even a Clinton can’t get the African American vote and Bill was so called”the first black president”.Obama is pulling 9 out of 10 African American voters if you look at the exit polling in the previous contests,mainly mississippi.So,what makes people think things will be any different in the general election.However,if Hillary can somehow convince that idiot Howard Dean to seat the delegates of Florida and Michigan,and if she rings Obama’s bell in Pennsylvania,then she may be able to pull this nomination off.If that were the case,I think Mitt Romney is an excellent VP pick because he can help McCain to win over the conservative base,and help him with the economy(an issue McCain has said he needs help with).I myself am a Hillary girl and I do hope she can win the democratic nomination and the presidency,however if the election is stolen by the DNC not seating Florida and Michigan delegates and giving the nod to Obama,I will become a McCain girl.
Well..Well…Well..I see Hanoi Jane Fonda, America’s favorite Hollywood TRAITOR is an Obama supporter. (Well Micheal Moore is too but MS Fonda is better looking and more deadly).
I hope the Obama campaign gets her to go out and show her support for this wonderful American candidate.
Perhaps they can get a NVA AA gun for her to sit on and she can once again pretend to be shooting down American planes. Hmmmm..perhaps the SAME gun that shot down McCain.
If Rice or Powell are chosen by McCain, that will foil Obama and Morris’ plan to label McCain as a racist!
We all know that is the battle cry for Obama supporters.
Label everyone who disagrees with Obama as a racist!
I would vote for McCain / Powell in a heartbeat! McCain /Rice would be ok, however, Powell has more political savvy. Rice is a true lady as well as a great statesman! Either would be fine with me.
McCain /Romney makes the most sense!
McCain has brawn and brains. So does Romney! Romney is a fantastic numbers man. He can balance a budget! Our economy could benefit with someone who absolutely understands the intricate details of the business world!
Jeff X.
Good morning.
Jane Fonda is one endorsement I would never want.
I am glad Obama is accepting her backing.
Anyone who has an ounce of brains can see she fits in perfectly with Obama. Her endorsement speaks volumes of what Obama is about!
Birds of a feather….!
“While he praised Rice, McCain also noted that he believes she bears some responsibility for the early failures in Iraq–along with President Bush, Don Rumsfeld and Colin Powell.”
McCain is right. He will loose votes. No “middle of the road” independent will vote for that combo (although democrats might).
(Registered voters: ~72M democrats, ~55M republicans, and ~42M independents).
Good morning Magda.
Who do you think would make a good running-mate for McCain?
I think Romney would, but I am concerned about the rabid followers of Obama labeling McCain as a racist!
They have done it to everyone that disagrees with them.
Condi sounds good to me! I have always admired her.
Democrat “Dream Ticket”
OBAMA/FONDA 08
Condi doesn’t want to be McCain’s VP. They differ on one very large issue: racial preferences. Condi is pro-affirmative action, McCain is against it. That might seem like a small issue to most of us but it is enough to keep Condi off the ticket this fall.
I think Romney would be a terrible pick, because he won’t help out the conservatives and question his past( as I do). Colin Powell would be good, but then the Democrates would label then both warmongers(same goes for Condi, although I admire them both). Huckabee wouldn’t be a good pick becuase their to much bitterness still between the Huckabee camp the Romney camp.(he’d be a better pick though). I really don’t know who he should pick, but I don’t think any of the ones being discussed will be good VP. Why not Duncan Hunter?
Sorry, I made a typing mistake. I think Romney would be a terrible pick because many conservatives question his past( in which he was a liberal)

Agreed!
McCain’s running mate will be Lieberman. Colin Powell and Condi Rice both have publicly praised Obama. Unfortunately Obama and Clinton will be on the same ticket. I don’t think either want it to happen but they will be convinced that the must do this to unify the party.
Jo Anne,
McCain has a list of candidates (according to NY Times, caucus April 2)
“A number of younger officials have been mentioned as potential running mates. They include governors, including Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota, an early supporter; Charlie Crist of Florida, whose 11th-hour endorsement helped Mr. McCain win the primary; Jon Huntsman Jr. of Utah, an early supporter despite Mitt Romney’s popularity in his state; and Mark Sanford of South Carolina, whose conservative reputation could help Mr. McCain with the base but who did not endorse him in the primary there.
Some ex-governors have been mentioned as well, including Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania, whose support of abortion rights could cause Mr. McCain trouble with conservatives who are already wary of him, and two of Mr. McCain’s former primary opponents, Mr. Romney and Mike Huckabee.”
I like younger governors. In general, I believe someone with true conservative values (to satisfy Mike Hackabee supporters) yet a little progressive and fiscally responsible. It seems that McCain is smart to pick up his VP.
And i know he is not a racist. His youngest child was adopted from Bengladesh.
To work I go..
Magda.
I live in Florida.
We love Charlie Crist!
I would have no problem going along with that suggestion either.
Good one!
Hi Kathmandu.
I’m not sure Lieberman will be chosen.
The Republican base may not go along with that choice. Lieberman is an Independent who caucuses with the Democrats usually.
While I enjoy the prospect of Rice joining onto McCain’s ticket as VP, I am sad to say that she is too closely tied with Bush. However, I have yet to hear any buzz about this idea and I would like to hear some reaction to any constructive input (positive or negative). How about Gen. Petraeus as Sec. of State? I feel that he carried himself quite well in his previous meetings with Congress and showed his honor when he was being brow beaten by some of the questioning. He also appears to be highly intelliegent and he is a subject matter expert on the Middle East. So, it’s just a thought, I would enjoy seeing him appointed by McCain to that position (as long as that appointment isn’t at the expense of the on going war in Iraq).
Hey Mike.
General Patraeus is an honorable man.
We asked him to do this job, he didn’t volunteer for it, I’m sure.
Patraeus has served this country under many Presidents, both Republican and Democrat.
I hope the slanderous groups like Moveon.org don’t make the same mistake they did last time.
What a backlash they got from that!
Bravo true patriots!
Pick on the candidates if you wish, but no slandering the General.
We frown on that!
Wright
Rezko
Farrakhan
BARACK HUSSIEN OBAMA
They are the same kind or group of people.
It is up to you now to decide what is best for our country.

Wal-Mart.

made more than the CEO of Wal-Mart, according to public records.
52.) University Of Chicago Hospital Pay Is Fair - LIAR, your wife’s pay raise
was nearly 150% her already bloated rate and the hospital is a Non-Profit
Hospital, which made $100,000,000 in the last 3 years. They overcharge blacks
VS whites for services, and overcharge everyone in general by 538%!
53.)I Barely Know Rezko - Only 5 Billed Hours - LIAR, you have known him for
17 years, and decided to do a real estate deal with him during a time when he
was proven to be under investigation. Despite this, you divided your property
and had them take off $300K before the mortgage problems started. Then
Rezko’s wife buys the lot beside it that you can’t afford, saving you
$625,000.
54.) My Donations Have Been Checked Thoroughly - LIAR, you only gave back Hsu
($72K) and Rezko (first $66K, then when caught lying $86K, then when caught
lying again $150K and now caught lying YET AGAIN OBAMA, it’s $250k) their
money when publically called on their involvement in your campaigns.
55.) My Church Is Like Any Other Christian Church - LIAR, your church is so
extreme, the pastor who married you, Rev. Wright, just got done blaming the
US for 9/11 and named Louis Farrahkan their person of the year.
56.) I Disagree With My Church All The Time - LIAR, you still have yet to
repudiate Wright, who married you and your wife, and you still donate large
sums of money to assist the church in furthering its message - hatred and
revenge. You donated in 2006 alone, $22,500 to the church that you so
terribly disagree with. That is nearly $500 PER WEEK - that sure is
disagreement, Senator Obama.
57.) I Have Clean Connections Despite Rezko - LIAR, you are not only
connected to Exelon and Rezko, you are also connected to Hillary PAC
supporter Mr. Hsu, AND an Iraqi Billionaire of ill repute, Nadhmi Auchi, who
ripped off people in the Food For Oil, Iraqi deal. Seems Mr. Auchi may have
helped Obama buy his million dollar property long before Obama had millions
of dollars. Wonder what favors Mr. Auchi expects, when Obama leaves Iraq free
to be taken over by special interests such as him.
58.) I never heard sermons like Rev. Wright’s, that have been in videos all
day, You Tube - LIAR! 3 days later during your Mea Culpa BS speech you said
“Did I hear controversial statements while I sat in that church? Yes I did.”
59.) The Passport Invasion is a conspiracy to find dirt on me! - LIAR. Your
own Campaign Foreign Policy Advisor is the CEO of the company that looked
into your records. PS - You had them look into yours to hide the fact you
looked into Clinton’s and McCain’s more than a year before!
60.) Rev. Meeks has nothing to do with my campaigning - LIAR. Rev. Meeks
appeared in ads for your Senate Campaign, donated to you, and helped raise
money, then AND NOW. PS - He also seems to despise America.
61.) My wife didn’t mean America is ignorant, she was just using a phrase -
LIAR. Again, MicHELLe’s comments perfectly sync with Wright’s, Meeks’, and
Farrakhans, both in language, anger, and direction.
62.) I am very Anti-Terror - LIAR. [03/30/2008] One of your good pals is long
time radical and terrorist William Ayers, with whom you have been seen in the
last 12 months and who has helped the now jailed khalidi, Professor at
Columbia who invited Ahmadinejad to the University, to raise money for
Palestinian terrorism attacks against Israel. PS - Your church published a
pro Hamas Manifesto - guess you weren’t there on THAT Sunday either? How
lucky for you.
63.) I have the best plan to cure the Mortgage Crisis - LIAR. [03/30/2008]
You and your campaign buddy Penny SubPrime Bank Collapse Prizker have had
your little fingers full of subprime cash - Obama has taken $1,180,103 from
the top issuers of subprime loans: Obama received $266,907 from Lehman, $5395
from GMAC, $150,850 from Credit Suisse First Boston, $11,250 from
Countrywide, $9052 from Washington Mutual, $161,850 from Citigroup, $4600
from CBASS, $170,050 from Morgan Stanley, $1150 from Centex, and last but
certainly NOT LEAST - Obama received $351,900 from Goldman Sachs. I am sure
that cash all came from folks who knew the subprime loan they had was a
dream, eh?
64) I played greater role in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the
death penalty and abortion - LIAR - [03/31/2008] It was found that Obama —
the day after sitting for the interview — filed an amended version of the
questionnaire, which appears to contain Obama’s own handwritten notes added
to one answer. Read Obama had greater role on liberal survey
65) I did NOT play the race card: - LIAR - [03/31/2008] Obama was the first
to play the race card. According to Phialdelphia Inquirer, Quietly, the storm
over the hateful views expressed by Sen. Barack Obama’s pastor, the Rev.
Jeremiah Wright, has blown away the most insidious myth of the Democratic
primary campaign. Obama and his surrogates have charged that Sen. Hillary
Rodham Clinton has deliberately and cleverly played the race card in order to
label Obama the “black” candidate. Read more here
66) I did not take money from oil companies: - LIAR - [03/31/2008]
THE FACTS: True enough, Obama does not take money from oil companies. No
candidate does. It is illegal for corporations to give money to politicians.
Corporations, however, do have political action committees that collect
voluntary donations from employees and then donate them to candidates. Obama
doesn’t take money from PACs. He also doesn’t take money from lobbyists.
But he does accept money from executives and other employees of oil companies
and two of his fundraisers are oil company executives. As of Feb. 29, Obama’s
presidential campaign had received nearly $214,000 from oil and gas industry
employees and their families, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan
Center for Responsive Politics. Clinton had received nearly $307,000 from
industry workers and their families and Republican Sen. John McCain, the
likely GOP presidential nominee, received nearly $394,000, according to the
center’s totals.
Two of Obama’s fundraisers are Robert Cavnar, the chairman and chief
executive of Houston-based Mission Resources Corp., and George Kaiser, the
president and CEO of Tulsa-based Kaiser-Francis Oil Co.

Rice is the wrong choice. Rice has been an embarrassment almost at the level of Bill Clinton’s Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. Further, Rice isn’t married. We cannot have someone at that level who could become President someday who isn’t married as they need stability. Rice is a gutless wonder at times. Rice is a good person but doesn’t have the disposition to become a VP, nor a President.
I suspect the choice will be a conventional southern conservative governor. At least, that would be the conventional wisdom to balance the ticket.
Petraeus is a complete unknown in the political arena. As a serving officer, it is very tough to get any kind of read on his overall political stance.
Rice is probably too moderate on domestic issues to bring on board. In many ways, she is also an enigma on here personal positions. She has never been in a job that allows her to express her own opinion. Always carrying out policy, at least in the public eye. I have no doubt she helped shape it, but, if you look at the first few years in Iraq, that may not be an advantage.
Powell is a moderate and is 70 years old. It would simply feed the age nonsense we’ve been seeing.
Lieberman is a non-starter. He is a very left liberal on domestic issues.

“I suspect the choice will be a conventional southern conservative governor. At least, that would be the conventional wisdom to balance the ticket.”
I suspect it will be, too. That’s why McCain will lose.
Dust
Hi dust Im back. It took hiring a private eye to track you down. You didn’t think it was going to be that simple to shake me, did ya? I’ve truly missed talking to you but alas we are together again. I’ve so much to tell you I don’t know where to start
1) I lied. I didn’t hire a private eye. Ive known forever who dust is
2) Do you like my new name. Its off an old Jefferson Airplane song. Im really quite proud of it.
3) Lets be niceto each other. This particularly applies to you. Stop calling me all those names that hurt my feelings and then I’ll stop calling you baboon, rodent and dirty diapers. But you go first and then I’ll follow
4) I think you should take this opportunity to apologize to me.

Is Obama Using Sexist Language?

Picked this up from an ABC News blog:
Is Obama Using Sexist Language?
February 16, 2008 11:30 AM
Earlier this month, speaking at Tulane University, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, said this about the attacks coming his way from Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY:
“You challenge the status quo and suddenly the claws come out,” Obama said.
The CLAWS come out? Really?
Then yesterday Obama told reporters who had asked about Clinton’s latest attack ad, “I understand that Senator Clinton, periodically when she’s feeling down, launches attacks as a way of trying to boost her appeal.”
That prompted some female TV reporters to question the language he was using.
According to this unofficial transcript, over at MSNBC, Andrea Mitchell and Norah O’Donnell seemed to suggest Obama may have been — if not playing the gender card, then using language women voters might find offensive.
Language such as “when she’s feeling down” “periodically” she “launches attacks.”
Nora O’Donnell: “He said, ‘I understand when she’s down, that she makes these kinds of attacks.’ It’s getting a little personal.”
Andrea Mitchell: “It’s getting a little personal and, very frankly, you know how deeply we interpreted every comment to look for some sort of racial motivation before South Carolina. A lot of people said it was there. But, you know, when you start describing a female candidate as being ‘down’ and ’striking back,’ I don’t know, that’s a little edgy, don’t you think?”
Nora O’Donnell: “Yeah. And I think there’s gonna be a lot more comments about that.”*
Pro-Clinton blogger Taylor Marsh writes that words like this, in her view, indicate “a way of thinking about women. A way of demeaning women in power; even saying we’re not up to the job. Seriously, Senator Hillary Clinton is a woman running for president. Not some emotional menopausal diva popping pills because she’s depressed she broke a nail.”
“Claws”…”feeling down”…I find it hard to envision Obama using the same language if he were facing, say, former Sen. John Edwards, D-NC.
But what do you think?

Silly,
For Clinton to receive the nomination she must get 60% of the votes in all remaining states and 60% of the remaining superdelegates. Her campaign is in desperate need of support.

Tell John McCain “NO MITT FOR VP”
http://www.nomittvp.com/
He is thinking of picking Condoleezza Rice over Mitt Romney.
I told McCain to pick Mitt for VP.
Condoleezza Rice – too close to Bush; would be perceived as an obvious lame attempt at attracting the black vote; not married; Does Rice have any appeal to the conservatives who do not like McCain, I can’t think of anything special!; I say not a good choice
Charlie Crist - has only been governor of Florida since 2006 (not a lot of so called experience), Crist’s fingerprints are all over the scheme to move the dates (that would make for interesting conversation in the debates); I say not a good choice
Joe Lieberman – a former Democrat and now an Independent; weak on issues from a conservative point of view; McCain already has trouble with conservatives and picking a Democrat would make things worse; I say not a good choice
Mark Sanford - Governor of South Carolina; magazine ranked him as one of the nation’s worst governors in 2005; I say not a good choice

“I suspect the choice will be a conventional southern conservative governor. At least, that would be the conventional wisdom to balance the ticket.”
I suspect it will be, too. That’s why McCain will lose.
————————————————————
Since when has McCain followed conventional wisdom, conventional wisdom said Mitt would win the nomination, conventional wisdom said McCain didn’t have a chance in the primaries.
Anyways, I think Rice is one of the better choices for VP, since it would throw the race card out the window, McCain said he’s against setting up quotas, in his mind if someone is more qualified than someone else regardless of race, then they get the job. Then there is the fact she’d be the first woman VP and the first African American VP.

““Our investigation suggests Senator Obama could have had his records archived so that they are available to the public, but, to this day, has chosen not to do so. Apparently, he does not want a complete paper trail of his time in the Illinois State Senate. Where are his office records?”
I bellieve HRC has brought this up in every debate. We need to again place this in our blogs and most especially to local papers yet to hold primaries.
I believe the average voter is unwilling to wade thru the Rezko/Ayers etc. mess but the above is pretty simple to follow.
If we do a concerted effort in this regard over the next several days perhaps we can off set the current “Hillary & lost baby story”. Actually, I have not listened to the news, so don’t know if they are trying to stir something up or if it has died.
COME ON MCCAIN FOLLOWERS AND OBAMA FOLLOWERS

I sent Andy Martin an email about the Slave block posting on Barack Obama’s site!
Here is his response email:
Andy Martin receives an e-mail and checks BarackObama.com. Andy doesn’t believe what he sees, but the post has apparently been there for nearly two months. Who is responsible? Is it real?

WHO IS MONITORING BARACKOBAMA.COM FOR ABUSIVE MATERIALS?
(CHICAGO)(April 7, 200
On Sunday, April 6th we received an e-mail linking us to BarackObama.com and a community blog.
http://my.barackobama.com/page/commu…shaesmith/CsNZ
Here is what we found:
Field Slave/Obama Supporter:
“I seen a way to freedom and power. C’mon go with me. I figured out a way to the promise land - that place Martin and Malcolm spoke of. There’s hope and possibilities out there for us. There some white folks I know say they gon help us get there. The time is now – right now. Come On…”
House Slave/Clinton Supporter:
“Massa Clinton been good to us. Git on ‘way from here Obama. You gon cause problem fo us all!! Didn’t Massa Clinton give you food and shelter all these years. Where you gon take us? You never been nowhere but right here on dis plantation wit us. This here fine living. We don’t know where you trying to go. They gon kill you. Then how us gon survive? Aint no white folks gon hep you. Get on way from here Obama. Gon now…git”
Looking at from this historical perspective . . . who was right????
That this posting may have been on Obama’s web site for over a month is disturbing to ContrarianCommentary.com. Is it as disturbing to you? Does anyone at Obama headquarters monitor blogs (as we monitor our blogs) to remove objectionable postings? Or is the foregoing posting acceptable to Obama headquarters? Is the posting possibly a hoax? It is hard to say.
Referring to Senator Obama as a “fields slave” and Senator Clinton as a “house slave” would appear to offend most Americans.
The Obama campaign owes voters some answers.

There is no need to rush to pick a vp candidate. Yes, she would be a great choice.
Mccain and Mayor Bloomberg of NY or Colin Powell would be a formidable ticket against even a Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton ticket which many Democrats and Independents are arguing for. Any other ticket without both is going to fracture the party. Clinton supporters esp. (Hispanic vote) and many Whites are going to desert Obama if Clinton is not on the ticket. Likewise, Obama Supporters (African-Americans) will desert Clinton without Obama.
The best reason for both being on the ticket is: It Will Unite the Party behind the two candidates who have won the most votes in the primaries. Bill Richardson deserted his own constituents
and could not add anything to the Democratic ticket. Richardson is just vying for a cabinet post
if Obama wins.
Jane Fonda announced her support for OBAMA. How about a photo op…Obama, Fonda and some of her old Viet Cong pals sitting on an NVA AA gun pretending to shoot McCain down.
Dust-
I have absolutely no reason to hide behind a different name.
Before saying you are a conservative- you say you would support Powell or Rice except for them being branded as warmongers.
Do you even know anything about them and their position on issues?
Let’s look at what he said at the RNC in 1996:
You all know that I believe in a woman’s right to choose and I strongly support affirmative action. And, I was invited here by my party to share my views with you because we are a big enough party — and big enough people — to disagree on individual issues and still work together for our common goal: restoring the American Dream.
What was her response on the abortion issue:
Abortion Position of Condoleezza Rice – US Secretary of State
WASHINGTON, March 14, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in a candid interview with The Washington Times Friday expressed her position on abortion as “mildly pro-choice.”
Asked, “Are you pro-life? Are you pro-choice? What is your thought on abortion?”, Rice responded: “I believe if you go back to 2000, when I helped the president in the campaign, I said that I was, in effect, kind of Libertarian on this issue, and meaning by that that I have been concerned about a government role in this issue. I’m a strong proponent of parental choice, of parental notification. I’m a strong proponent of a ban on late-term abortion. These are all things that I think unite people and I think that that’s where we should be. I’ve called myself at times mildly pro-choice.
YOU IDIOTS WHO WOULD RATHER SIT OUT THE ELECTION, VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT, OR TRY TO RECRUIT RICE OR POWELL BECAUSE ‘ROMNEY ISN’T CONSERVATIVE ENOUGH’ ARE NOTHING MORE THAN UNINFORMED RELIGIOUS BIGOTS!
Obamabots will use the race card against McCain without doubt, if he picks someone white . McCain could win big time with a black V.P. candidate, but… never heard that Condi Rice or Colin Powell ever wanted to run for a political office ever. Unlikely…..unless there’s someone else out there we
don’t know…
Hillary for Pres.
If not, McCain.
Dean, No one is proabortion. That’s idiotic! Prochoice
has always been a moderate opinion. What’s not to like about moderate? They win elections.
Oh, did you hear Obama’s slant on ” girls punished by being forced to have a baby”? Whoopee,
that guy can say any insensitive, ridiculous, anti American, anti woman, anti semitic, racist comment and no one says a word…..he’s sacred…he’s Obamagod.
McCain is a maverick, that’s who he is. If he wants to win the presidency he has to do something out of the ordinary. Lieberman would be a great choice for instance or maybe Rush Limbaugh.
