What do you think about the rumors now going around that she may be Johnny Mac's running mate?
Will it be a plus or minus?

Posted: 4/7/08 at 6:36pmHe could pick Charles Manson as his running mate and he will still get elected because the Democrats will not be able to get their act together.

Posted: 4/7/08 at 7:02pmMcCain may be a Republican but he isn't stupid. He'd be wise to distance himself from anything involving the Bush years.

Posted: 4/7/08 at 10:34pmHmm black, gay and female. I'd vote for her purely based on those specs, sadly her lies have gotten people killed.

I was beginning to agree with JoeKv.
This would backfire so badly it could put either one of the Dueling Dems in the White House.
No one can handicap this presidential race. NO ONE. ANYTHING can happen.

Posted: 4/7/08 at 10:35pmAs much as I dislike the Republican party, I think Condi Rice is amazing

Posted: 4/7/08 at 11:28pmI'm not saying that the woman has not made mistakes, but I feel that she is unjustly vilified because of her position in the Bush administration. She has to have one of the hardest jobs in the world; she has to attempt to salvage some semblance of integrity for the American people by working to from diplomatic agreements with nations all over the world. One has to believe that without Condoleezza's diplomatic actions George Bush would have America fighting more senseless conflicts then Iraq and Afghanistan. I feel that Rice is simply guilty by association and if we judged people based on whom they worked for we all know that Condi would not be the only one that comes off negatively. I am not saying that I would vote for McCain if he chose her as his running mate; in fact there is nothing the Republican Party could do to get my vote, I just don’t feel that Condoleezza Rice deserves to be portrayed as negatively as she often is.

I don't think she is portrayed negatively enough.
Apparently she was considered "brainy" in academia, although no one has ever explained to me precisely why.
But since she came to work with the Bush administration, every move she has made has been shockingly stupid, and her lack of knowledge about the cultural and political realities of the Near and Middle East have been criminally inept.

Fair enough christhefish.
When 9/11 happened I thought she should have been fired, I've always held the very least she could have done was call the FAA and just issue a small warning, anything. She did nothing. When she lied under oath about events leading up to it I got angry and active.
Right now I feel sorry for her, I guess I'm in a forgiveness stage. She had so much potential and as I've said before she is treated much like a house-slave. She deserves better.

I don't feel sorry for her. I feel like she has chosen all this and chosen to continue with it.
I save my pity and forgiveness for Colin Powell. He actually touched greatness and had it sullied by his association with Bush and Cheney, which he broke off, too late but he sundered it.
Had he not lied in front of the United Nations and acted as their "house slave," as you delicately put it, he not Barack Obama would be the first formidable African[-American presidential candidate.
But having lied for them, he can never be that.
She continues to lie for them, daily and happily.
No forgiveness.

PalJoey from the 'Hillary on Ellen' thread, less than an hour and a quarter later, re Obama: "No, he can't win."
=
hypocritical
So I guess PalJoey thinks that words are truth when they suit Hillary, but those same words are false when they don't. Hmmm, I'm sensing a Clintonian pattern here.
Though I agree with you 100% on Condi, PJ.

Why forgive Colin Powell? "Touching greatness" my ass. No one who willingly joins George W. Bush's Band of Evil is deserving of anything but trial for complicity as a war criminal.
Show me the picture of Powell's kids being held hostage, with guns to their heads, to ensure Powell's testimony before the U.N., and maybe I'll start to agree.
I will forgive Colin Powell when he holds a public press conference where he reads out the names of all those who have died in the Iraq Invasion (of all nationalities), takes public responsibility for each and every one of those deaths, and then blows his brains out.
Not until then.
Lest you think I'm singling out Powell, he should be joined in that public suicide by Cheney, Bush, Condi, and Rumsfeld and Rove.

Per CNN, Rice had denied any interest in the VP slot:

The homophobes hate her. Cue the shrieking harpy Janet Folger, who finds it disgusting that Ms. Rice ever allowed herself to be in the same room as a gay man without jabbing a wooden stake into his heart:
Then, on Oct. 10, 2006, Secretary Rice administered the oath of office for the global AIDS coordinator, homosexual activist Mark Dybul, while Dybul's domestic partner held the Bible. Ironic, isn't it? Too bad they never opened it. Dybul will oversee how $15 billion of our hard-earned tax dollars gets spent. Think of how you could further your agenda if your budget was $15 billion. I'd include the link to the homosexual publication that documents this, but it's laden with porn. What a shock.
Rice then introduced first lady Laura Bush to Dybul's domestic partner's mother as Dybul's "mother in law." This is only "mildly" at odds with the Federal Defense of Marriage Act (which even President Clinton signed) declaring that the federal government shall not recognize "marriage" between two men. Obviously, Secretary Rice doesn't "spend her entire life thinking about federal law" on that issue, either – "mildly speaking."

I imagine that somebody's girlfriend would be pretty upset about this continued public exposure.
This is just my hunch.
