6. I was only half kidding
but knowing how power hungry both Hillary and McCain are. It is not out of the realm of possibilities.

The MSM would soak that up like a sponge.

3. Why remove bush when they run the elections anyway?

If you are correct, what about Cheney? He is, after all VP.

15. Georgie has run his course for the Cabal. Time for a fresh face.
Cheney looks too evil for the wholesome image that want to promote.

7. Why wait til 2007?
He couldn't step down soon enough for me; what a benefit to the country if he did so in late January 2006, or at the latest, February 1st!!!!!!!!!!

11. If they serve more than half the term
there is something regarding presidential eligibility if you serve more than half the term... less than half is fine.

8. rice. Keep promoting the incompetent, that is their motto.
When has any news organization bothered to give a close look to her tenure as NSC?

She ignored the warnings she received from the Clinton team; she ignored the warnings that our own intel gave them; she ignored facts, knowledge suspicions, AND she was ignorant about the true nature of the world.
If anyone has read State of war, The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration, it explains her abilities in plain, simple, terms. Of course she will be promoted.

10. Rudy Giuliani
He has the stamp of approval from Pat Robertson for the Religious Right and will also appeal to moderates.

12. Rice
Edited on Sun Jan-15-06 12:08 PM by StClone
That would look good on her Prez run resume. If Bush is a shined up turd, Condi is coprolite (petrified dung) as it shines up easier.

Seeing that Cheney is pretty unhealthy (next in succession).

20. That's what George Will said in one of the talk shows this am
And since he is one of the writers of this administration, he should know.

They all want her to run for Pres in 2008, especially Laura. Twice now she has gone public with that statement.

22. If they try to do this and put Rice in, their chickens will come home to
roost - the racism and divisiveness that they've stocked and capitalized on will come down on them like a ton of bricks.

The Republican base talks a good game and tolerates some of the "good" colored folks as long as they stay in their place. But they will not tolerate having a black woman in such a position of power, regardless how much of their bidding she's done in her career.

23. Although I agree with you. The sheep can be herded in that
direction. After all the Repube's no. 1 priority is to win. Everything else be damned.

26. I don't know . . .
One of the reasons they get herded in is that the Republicans have consistently fed into their notions of racial superiority. They are much more concerned about race than party - remember that many of these people left the Democratic Party because they objected to its position on civil rights.

I believe that for every Republican bigot who would hold their nose and vote for Rice because she's a Republican above all, there are 3 who would vote for Hillary Clinton herself before casting their vote for a n-gg-er.

27. You know I have no disagreement there either. But shit is
so crazy lately that I just don't know what to think anymore. I'll tell you this though. A match up between the black woman (oh the horror) and "Hitlery" would really put them to the test.

Edited on Mon Jan-16-06 12:30 PM by rhett o rick
head for the NeoCon Cabal. They wouldn't have any problem with Condi as President. When the Cabal gets enough power, they will abandon the fundy Christians and wacko's. Like Hitler did to the brown shirts.

The neocons will get to work "creating reality" to make her appear to be the most qualified candidate.

25. Agreed.
They will put her up and then when we oppose her, they will try to paint us as misogynist and racist.

I think it's fair to say that Cheney doesn't take marching orders from Karl Rove. Cheney will do whatever Cheney wants, law and constitution be damned.

Edited on Mon Jan-16-06 12:23 PM by rhett o rick
VP, as long as he pulls the strings. Rove tactic and Cabal decision. They need someone like Chimpy to run in 2008.

42. I agree the choice in such a case would be Condi Rice...
In most polls she sits at number three in a GOP primary, beneath John McCain and Rudy Giuliani. McCain would never be the choice -- I think we all know that -- and Giuliani and Bush's cabal have had a falling out ever since the Bernard Kerik debacle.

Rice is the obvious choice.
