While the Hon. Rice would make a great V.P. the timing is not right in terms of position offered and the timing of the announcement.

Condi Clueless has been a total and complete failure as Secretary of State. She thinks the Palestinians are the blacks of the civil rights era. She is a jerk!

Where he promised that he was an independent during the Reagan years and said he wouldn’t govern anything like that horrible Ronald Reagan.

And Judge Bork was basically a socialist at one point in his life? So what? Your Christianity allows for no growth? That’s pretty much missing Christ’s points. You may need to reread the Sermon on the Mount.

I wish McC had the balls to pick Michael Steele for VP. Now there’s an outstanding first black President.

techno_barbarian: Don’t go using any common sense. We are talking about McVain.

Mr. Steele is a better person, a better ‘politician’ (and I use that term loosely with Mr. Steele because he is better than regular politicians), and way more intelligent than Juan McShamnesty and the only way McVain looks any good is when he is around mental midgets Lindsey Graham and Chuck (rhymes with f#$%) Hagel…..

He’ll gain Christians, lose conservatives. Huckabee isn’t a conservative. He’s a tax-raising, illegal alien benefit-giving, soft-on-crime, nanny-stater. Huckabee will assure many conservatives stay home come November.

Almost correct. I am Christian and a conservative and Huckabee isn’t a conservative. He’s mildly conservative; at best. Life is his ONLY conservative credential {that and making fun of Johnny Edwards – but that is like shooting fish in a barrel so it does not count}.

McCain Giuliani 2008. Making Islamists mess their drawers daily.

Great Plan!! Giuliani for VP?

Superb, all the base of the soon to be former republican party who isn’t furious with McVain over belittling us for wanting border enforcement (northern, southern and the coasts), and then the additional bonus for the soon to be former republican party with one of the most pro-abortion rights supporters as VP.

And then there are people questioning Sec. Rice’s qualifications???

Even though her presence on the ticket would win the Party the election, her effectiveness would be negated by MSM pandering. After election her ideas would be seen as merely a token offering as her nomination was.

The Hon. Rice will have greater impact on the world of politics by scholarly exposing the problems with the current structure and influence peddling. Specifically, how over the last 20 years committee ‘stiffers’ have been making policy without bearing any responsibility for their actions.

There is also a group that stand in the wings, resume in hand, to impress the newly elected politician who hastily hires them and takes the blame for their ‘stiffers’ poor biased thinking.

As far as her performance, just another Affirmative Action let down.

Sounds like a definitive statement to me. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will not be a candidate for Vice President in 2008. “I do not want to be, don’t intend to be, won’t be on [McCain’s] ticket,” she told the……

I know that being a “scholar”

I’m trying to become one, as per the OED’s definition (sub lemmate): “One who has acquired learning in the ‘Schools’ [university departments]; a learned or erudite person; esp. one who is learned in the classical (i.e. Greek and Latin) languages and their literature.”

you’re just dying to learn more history

That’s true: although my last degree was technically in a history department, I’m really just a literature guy and in great need of more historical background. (By the way, for current popular history you can hardly do better than this offering by the Viscount of Norwich.)

but this isn’t the best way to go about asking me.

That’s all right; I don’t think I’m ready for your advanced courses in how Orpheus & Achilles & Aeneas were children of the Nefelim (even though it was their mothers who were divine and their fathers mortal). I’m still being catechized on dragons as memory-vestiges of antediluvian dinosaurs (a.k.a. behemoths).

What is this the seventh thread you’ve posted my comments out of the blue?

I only bring these words (of yours) up when you change the subject to from “who’ll be VP” to “America as a righteous nation”.

You’re thinking about it day and night.

With stars in my eyes, your saintly dreamboat.

It’s ok. I’m a reasonable man. I will accept your apology when you’re ready.

SaintOlaf on April 15, 2008 at 2:58 AM

As magnanimous as you’re being, I have no apology to make you, Olaf; but if you’d like one far better than I could write, you’ll find it here.

Just because I said you are heading for a lake of fire,

Is there anybody here that you haven’t condemned to the lake of fire? I’ve already got my kit prepared and threw in some extra sun block and swimming trunks for good measure.

You’re thinking about it day and night.

It’s ok. I’m a reasonable man. I will accept your apology when you’re ready.

SaintOlaf on April 15, 2008 at 2:48 AM

No grudge, bro, but readers should know where the Huckabee wing of the party is coming from. And it ain’t reality.

Don’t tell me you still hold a grudge? Just because I said you are heading for a lake of fire, doesn’t mean you have to dig yourself in deeper?

Judgement day hasn’t come yet.

Condi: “I do not want to be, don’t intend to be, won’t be on [the] ticket”

Olaf’s Allah brings us to this one:

I am fully aware of the fact that my righteousness is not mine or of my own efforts.

There is no self righteousness in Christianity.

I am fully aware of the fact that my righteousness is not mine or of my own efforts. It is from Jesus Christ who lives within me.

Before I was born again I had(like all of mankind)a wicked deceitful,adulterous heart that only seeked sin.

The Bible says “No man seeks after God”

How I KNOW that Christ is real is because He has given me a new heart, a heart that seeks to be obedient to God and keep His commandments. That is a MIRACLE!

In no way whatsoever do I consider my “self” righteous. It is Christ that lives within me transforming me into the image of Christ.

For anyone who wants to prove if Jesus Christ is real…If you repent,turn from your sin and put your faith in Jesus Christ, He promises to manifest Himself to you!

You will know for certain that He is real.
