Condi Rice

[GenuineRisk]

The US hasn't elected a single person as President since Buchanan. Rice would never get elected. Here's what First Lady Laura Bush said about her:

"Dr. Rice, who I think would be a really good candidate (for President), is not interested. Probably because she is single, her parents are no longer living, she's an only child. You need a very supportive family and supportive friends to have this job."

Okay, whatever, ignoring the dig about Rice not having friends (which is likely not true, seeing as how she's close enough to GW to have called him her "husband" by accident once, tee hee), but what's up with the bias against single people in this country? What, you can only be President if you're married?

Of course, Buchanan DID suck...

I think she'd be an interesting candidate, to say the least. I still probably wouldn't vote for her, but I do like her tenacity, her obviously overwhelming intelligence and her grasp of the way things work. At least she presents herself that way...

I'd have to learn more, but I remember I used to like her, back when she was not a national figure...she came up during the 2000 presidential campaign when we studied it....in high school

She doesnt waver on her beliefs and believes in the priciples of freedom and puts the country first no matter where she is. She is well spoken and can take crtisism with thoughtful and intelligent reply.
I hope she runs someday as I think she would be a great leader for this country.

I agree with all of this. She would be a formidable candidate and is one of the sharpest and most tactful you will come across.
What I don't see in her is a connection to a sizable fundraising network. IMO getting the nomination is unfortunately as much about your ability to raise cash as it is anything else. However i think her talent and natural leadship skills would attract the big money folks were she to get involved in the process. I'd love to see it.

I will not support C Rice. She has zero credibility.
Her previous statements designed to sell the failed "Operation Iraqui Freedom" included the statement, "We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud over the horizon."
She is as vile as the Bush/Cheney junta and the continuing lies they impose on the American public.

I'm sure that she would not have been counting on your vote.

That's nice to know. I won't vote for a tool of the propaganda machine, nor the liar that she has demonstrated herself to be.

If Rice gets the nomination, I promise to take a **** on the track at the 1/16 pole during the running of the Ky Derby.

Here's the thing , she works for the President and the country but foremost the President , she cannot say anything bad about his policy's wether she agree's with them or not. My mom just retired from the Department of Defense she worked there for over 20 years , she didnt like Bill Clinton nor did she vote for him , but never did I hear her say one bad word about him or his policy's or lack of . Do you know why ? Because when you work for the federal governmet you sign a contract not to do so, you are bound by this contract and are subject to punishment by law.
She is more literate and well read and profoundly smarter than most of the people that have been presented as candidates for 2008 , you have no idea nor do I of what kind of agenda she would have because at this point the only one she CAN have has to be the same as the Presidents.
This woman can recite complete political and historical history of this country when asked to , she is well spoken and very driven. If you ever get a chance read a little bit about Teddy Roosevelts thoughts on U.S. policys and agenda , I think you might be suprised at how agressive he was as far as democratizing the world and the U.S governments role .

Bring back the "Bull Moose Party"!!!
And remember the Maine!
Condi is, and will ever be, reminded for being the liar she is. And also one of the most incompetant Sec. of State's that we've ever had in US history.
Sorry, Honu...if someone lies you into a war, the truth will finally catch up, sooner rather than later.
Vote "Bull Moose"! Don't vote "BULL"!

Honu,
I respect you and your opinion.
Condi has done nothing to make this country great...in my opinion.
No amount of continued lies will be able to deny that fact, nor will all the "kings horses and all the kings men, ever put Humpty-Dumpty (Iraq) back together again."
What really makes this country "great" is what Jefferson stated...an informed populace, and therein...the consent of the governed.
The present administration has done everything within their power to deny such.

Can you imagine JJ dealing with the N.Koreans? "Listen Bud, I dont know what you are thinking about over there but you dont want to mess with this old horse trainer. You think you got it tough? Try racing at Atlantic City? You'll do as I say or I'll turn you into Hialeah overnight!!"

i thought jefferson only wanted wealthy landowners to have the right to vote. oh wait. wealthy white Male landowners. i hate when people reference him, he was a chickensh!t who could write. thought that the constitution should severely limit fed power, and then proved himself a hypocrite with his louisiana purchase...

[GPK]

I'm not by any means making any implications on Wayne, but it just seems all to fashionable for people to continously bash whatever current administration happens to be in office....whether it be a Republican or a Democrat. It's the same old song and dance...
