GOP Strategist: Condoleezza Rice Campaigning For VP Slot

UPI:

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has exhibited interest in becoming John McCain's vice presidential running mate, a Republican strategist says.

Dan Senor revealed during Sunday's edition of ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" that Rice has been seeking support to be considered for the No. 2 spot on the Republican ticket this fall.

"Condi Rice has been actively, actually in recent weeks, campaigning for this," Senor said.

Oh hell no!!! Great, now we may put another war criminal in the white house??? This is the most mean-spirited, nasty, and dishonest person in the bush administration. Of course, there are so many, it's hard to tell.
Rice in the white house???? Oh hell no.

[GhostofBillHicks]

Are republicans sadomasochist?! Ouch....more!! That hurts...more!! No don't do that....please do it some more!!!WTF!!!

[esquire07]

She should be tried and hung for War Crimes - nevermind VP. Lying Bush criminal is all she is.

[waitng]

Before everyone gets too slap happy about a sure fire loss with kindalozza on the repub side, NEVER EVER forget that both 2000 and 2004 elections were granted to someone with tremendous amounts of constroversy about fraud in the elections.
2000 the supreme court stopped the recount before gore would get more votes than w. Result w wins.
2004 massive problems in OHIO that kept many people from voting in the all too narrow time span used to vote in. And any if not all evidence has been conveniently destroyed. Result: no matter how much the majority of people wanted w voted out, he was granted the presidency. And don't forget diebold's head stating that he guaranteed w OHIO.
And what is one thing a lot of people know today, that rice is someone not to be trusted and is actually disliked by many. Where does that put her. Right up there with a chance not just getting old johnny boy elected but by magical apparitions, she becomes president when old johnny boy passes away in offiice from stroke, heart attack or what have you.
This country is run and operated on shady dealings and actions. So beware.

Oh and it's no big secret that Colin Powell is an Obama fan. He was on Tavis Smiley and CNN praising him. He often consults with him and told him about Americas need for diplomacy around the world. Something, George Bush was laughing about when Obama mentioned that in the debates. I suggest some of you do more research on African American blogs, mags, and shows. I would like to see him in his Cabinet.

[marthamay]

You all are racists that don't think Condi should be VP, racists racists racists!!! Now doesn't that sound familiar?

[SifSkade]

Yes, it sounds like Hillary Clinton's supporters shouting down her opponents by labeling every single criticism of her as sexist, sexist, sexist. Good point.

[truthskr]

Ignoring the fact that this individual is incompetent, arrogant, and a war criminal, I would still love to see the conservative right react to such a nomination. They already hate "moderate" McCain, but throw in a minority, closeted woman? Wow. The mind boggles at what the bible thumping hate mongers would do then...declare official end of times, I guess, but end of times for the Republican Party, for certain.

[Zankee]

HERE! HERE!.. I'll drink to that.., pass the KOOL-AID....

[FirstShirt]

Rice would be perfect. She isn't given to histrionics of the liberals and yet represents the need right now for a woman and minority candidate for the presidency.

[BLib]

Why do Republicans think Black people are stupid? Are you serious? The Black radio stations, churches, and intellects will have a field day with this. This is SO hilarious. Do you know how hard it was for Barack to get the Black vote? Condaleeza Rice. OK. Pulease. Pathetic.

[truthskr]

As a feminist, I can not possibly imagine any woman who would want claim her, never mind get excited about any candidacy. She is a complete sell out to everything that she, as demographics would otherwise seem to suggest, should represent the best of. She is as much of a white, male power-grabber as her boss, despite her DNA.

[SifSkade]

Exactly -- I think there was a Dave Chappelle sketch where Black people got to trade away undesirables, and I think Condi was one of the first to go; I would imagine that women would have the same reaction if presented with the opportunity (and while we're loading up that hand truck, let's pop Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham on it as well).

[SifSkade]

This comment is batshit. If you're going to pick a female minority candidate, I recommend finding one who, unlike Condi Rice, is NOT one of the central architects of what will probably 92 years from now still reign as one of the worst debacles of the 21st century. Rice is a liar and a war criminal who will say anything to advance Bush's agenda regardless of the cost, as measured in truth or in human lives. She's a horrible creature who merely happens to have two "X" chromosomes and Black DNA (and I don't think she'll thank you for reminding her of the latter); anyone with any sense will judge her on her actions and decisions, which have nothing to do with her race or gender and everything to do with her misguided quest for power at any cost.

[riverhouse]

The consensus is well established: Rice is the worst secretary of state in America's history.

[Zankee]

I agree, however, if the Establishment in Washington wants her, make me an offer I can't refuse, and, she can have my vote.., start in the seven figure range.... Then I'll buy a small island.., so that "I" can be a "King"...like George....

[marthamay]

you mean Madeline Albright right? Condi is the most intelligent, well-rounded person for the job. She has class, can meet with all types of world leaders. You are a racist!

[1differentdrummer]

Dr. Rice is intelligent, I am sure she is capable. She got into very expensive Denver University, was it because her father was there? She may be another legacy student, tho loads smarter than her boss. My problem with her is not her race, which I think is a non-issue, it's who she has served.

[slow2]

Marthamay, check out how she treated African women and children when she was able to help and didn't. Check out her civil rights history. Condi is a failed diplomat; she gave false testimony to Congress. She would be the perfect choice, ONLY if one is GOP. To the rest of the thinking citizenry she's worse than inadequate; she's dangerous - despite her having a tanker named for her.

[SifSkade]

If a White WASP named Conway Rice had served as secretary of state and made the decisions and taken the actions that Condi Rice did, his record would also be considered absolutely fucking abysmal; this isn't a function of race, but a question of naked fact. Condoleezza Rice could be a bright green transsexual from Saturn -- that has no bearing on her toadyism, dishonesty, and utter lack of competence. Are we to be put in a Hillary Clintonesque situation where making any criticism of a Black woman, no matter how accurate and/or unrelated to her gender and race, renders us racist and sexist? That's a clever, unscrupulous way to slam a lid on critical dialogue, but it doesn't change the fundamental mediocrity of her performance as S. of S.

[billrott]

IF McCain picks Condi, he will seal the deal with voters that his candidacy is Bush II. Condi has a lot of baggage and will be vetted thoroughly by the press. In the end, such a move will result in a huge defeat for McCain. The only thing that would throw the election towards a McCain/Condi ticket would be the capture of Osama Bin Laden; however I do not even think it is that likely anymore people will be moved by such a move this late in the game.

[Zankee]

If it weren't for the good guys.., there wouldn't "BE" any bad guys; if you can't beat 'em.., join 'em!!!!
Good guys finish last.., if not at all.., fight fire with fire!

Know your enemy; view youtube.comm", Search: "warning to the world, parts 1-9"....

Join in, unite.., SELL YOUR VOTE.., if it's good enough for the politicians.., then it's good enough for me!

[Maya2008]

People, Rice has never ran for office and she never had to participate in any debates. A lot of stuff is going to come out about her , that will shock a lot of people. She doesn't stand a chance, people will link her to all of Bush's failures.

[batgirlevi]

I wonder why Condi got herself a weave all of a sudden?

[Maya2008]

Did you ever notice that she always has that dumb grin on her face, even when she's talking about something tragic.

[Maya2008]

What has she accomplished? Not one damn thing..LOL! Let her run on her record. It will be so much fun, to watch the Democrats tear her apart. Can't you just see her during the debates..
