A Dem vote for Condi now . . . a nail in the Dem coffin for 08
Rice on the 08 ticket could spell trouble for Dem's, when two groups typically beholden to them - women and African Americans - could be lost.

4 years of S of S would groom her well, and all those misjudgments, errors, and deaths long forgotten.

1. You're forgetting something rather obvious.

A lot of Republicans are quite sexist and racist. They're not about to put a black woman on the ticket anytime soon.

13. They're also powerhungry hypocrites
They said they hate the librul hollywood elite, and then flock around Arnold Governator and canonize actor Reagan.

They'll be able to get over the sexist/racist thing by pairing her with a extremist fundamentalist Falwell at the top of the ticket, and having her go into super neocon mode.

But four years is a lot of time for her to screw up and pick up baggage, and there's a cattle herd already bickering for the ticket (Jeb, Frist, Hagel, McCain, etc.) She's no shoo in for the ticket, but I wouldn't say it's impossible either.

8. Hillary? are you absolutely insane?
If someone has a clip of that neocon stepford bitch swaying along to the Lawrence Welk reject singing Asscrotch's FASCIST anthem, please post it and end all fantasies of this whore representing the Democratic party.

5. Can anyone name one African American female........
currently of national prominence who would support Condi? Maybe the debate on her appointment will make certain her misjudgments will not be forgotten.

There are most certainly crimes and more revelations here that will eventually be aired to the public when the complete report from the 911 commission are eventually released.

11. Those who should have national prominence are Democrats.
I am a fan of Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee. The few times I have seen her she is awesome. Unfortunately, I no longer watch MSM conservative propoganda, so I miss seeing her and having that perception reinforced.

6. She's too easy a target, now.
Things aren't going to be getting any better by 2008. The media tried to tell us we were exhausted by eight years of Clinton's cock...wait until they see how totally pissed off and beaten and bruised the country is after BushCo's policies start having a real effect on the people, even the ones in supposedly "red" states.

Democrats are beginning to show some balls finally, but still not enough. By '08, we'll be ready to make lazer-focused ads on Condi's lies...they're all there, right on the public record. Her role in formulating the policies and lying for her husba...er, the President, will be front and center in every ad and blast fax. She'd be slaughtered.

Besides, those red states are going backwards. They aren't looking for MORE negroes in their lives, especially not RUNNING THE COUNTRY! Can you imagine the average Freeper accepting the word of a black woman? We ain't close to there now, and we won't be any closer by November 08.

It is certainly unfortunate for society, but it'll probably be a blessing for the country and the constitution.



(This is from November 20th)

7. I don't think this is a huge concern,
The GOP can't risk shattering their recently crafted Rainbow Party image by running a weak candidate who has shown no leadership skills.

10. I agree our most loyal demographic base is AA and
even if 20% defected it could be a real problem. Now I don't think all the racists would vote democratic just becuz Condi is on the GOP ticket either, they just probably wouldn't vote at all or vote for some third party racist.
