Right now, Condi is getting the Dem’s closest attention, which means that they are running scared.

but Rice might not be a bad choice for VP in one sense. She would provide continuity in foreign policy

You act as if that’s a good thing.

I’d vote for Obama before I ever voted for Rice.

This twist has Rice talking to Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform weekly gathering of conservative activists as a means to increase her influence and standing for the position. That sounds interesting but a little ineffective as a strategy. Conservative activists don’t have the inside track yet in the McCain campaign, although ATR and Norquist have to like McCain’s spending policies.

I’ve been to the ATR Wednesday meetings before, and unless something has leaked from the meeting itself about her wanting the VP slot, I’d highly doubt that was why she was there. She could have been there talking about the free trade agreement with Columbia.

We need Americans to manage this country and defend us. Not Irish, Germans, Blacks, Jews, Catholics, Mormons, Asian, WASPS or whatever affiliation can get in your way of good judgment. Be an American first, and save the pandering for family reunions.

Her perspective on the Middle East also is lacking.

but that would be the PC hat trick answer the question if McCain is a sexist and/or a racist for running against Hillery and Barack..

and she would only be a heartbeat or another stroke away from the oval office..

Another rumor about Condi campaigning for the McCain’s VP slot surfaces (and dominates) on the Drudge Report.

There has got to be a better choice.

…she proved to be an absolutely incompetent empty-skirt.

I’ve said she’s a front for the power that put GWB into office. Now having McCain lead the ticket is bad enough. Compounding the Bush/McCain lack of domestic border security with the Bush/Rice give-away territorial bonus gifts to terrorists bodes ill for American citizens.

Correct.

Plus restraining Israel from defending itself in Lebanon.

The ideal candidate is one who really doesn’t want it – won’t pursue it

Until asked to serve

Some who did not ask to serve

Nixon
Truman
Quail
Cheney

Perhaps, just perhaps the best may not the most ambitious, the most political astute. However, the call to serve this country in its time of need has been answered by millions – don’t expect Ms Rice to abandon her country.

It is Affirmative Action mixed with Cronyism.

Just because she hasn’t exactly filled the expectations people had of her doesn’t mean she is an affirmative action case. Rice is not Obama; she has clearly worked her way up to where she is.

And how it started?

With Cronyism which is almost no different than Affirmative Action when it comes to Black people. It’s just a matter of linguistics.

Affirmative Action -in itself- is racism and is a degradation of Black people.

But aside from all that, she proved to be an absolutely incompetent empty-skirt.

Care to explain the difference between old Condi and new Condi?
