My friend's CT...I really don't think anything
of it..BUT here goes
quote......
Gregg, who never believes the Republicons are as evil as I tell him, says I'm nuts and they would never stoop to this ... but here's my new theory; devoid of any proof, I'm just sure I'm right.

Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King ... were both murdered.

Why? Condaleeza Rice is going to run for President, beginning next year at the latest. Condi has a good chance at the nomination ... but she can't afford to have the two most important Black women, political icons to speak out against her. And you know that Parks and King haven't fallen for her bullshit. They would be on TV telling the black voters to RUN from Aunt Jemima Rice. And, in all likelihood, would have been featured speakers at the DNC convention.

That's a humiliation that could completely derail Rice's chance (esp. if Obama is the VP nominee ... and he very well could be ... the Dems are that stupid).

With Parks and King dead, Rice can actually use it for her own good. She exploited Park's funeral and was all over the media making it look like Parks was some kind of ally of hers and she was at the funeral pretending to have respect for her. Mark my words, Condi will be hamming it up for the cameras at King's funeral and nobody will have the nerve to throw her skanky ass out of there.

That's my theory. And if Oprah ever decides to get political and endorse someone, she damn well better watch her back if she's a Democrat.
end quote....

1. Old people die and Pat Robertson doesn't always get to pick which ones...
It's a fact of life.

2. Obama = Stupid?
Edited on Wed Feb-01-06 05:18 PM by SlipperySlope
I follow most of your post, but why do you equate Obama with "Dems are that stupid"?

(I'm not up to speed on Obama)

9. Too much of a centrist
sitting on the fence & won't make the hard choices on where he stands. IMHO, We need passion. I have never been a big Teddy fan but he never disappoints me when the shit hits the fan, he is always with us. Kaine did an OK job last night but I could have easily fallen asleep with what he said and how he said it. We are fighting for our lives here and now, we need leaders that have as much *&(_(+ as Cindy did last night.

3. It's certainly fun reading
But I'm pretty sure both these women had been sick for a long time.

Of course...it's only "the media" telling me this, so...hmmmmmmmmm...

;-)

5. Repubs will never run Condi. Number 1: They are racist at heart.
Edited on Wed Feb-01-06 05:16 PM by Mayberry Machiavelli
Number 2: They have invested HEAVILY in the institution of racist sentiment as a key linchpin of their current voter base (funny how it's been the "Solid Repub South" ever since LBJ/Civil Rights, eh?) to have any kind of African American candidate on the national ticket, it would work against everything they've been doing for decades.

On Edit: Condi isn't even a very good neocon. Honestly all I've ever seen her do is mouth shrubco platitudes about the war on terra. I've seen NO leadership skills from her at all, not even EVIL leadership skills. At least Rummy has his own independent failed projects and ideas, like the blitzkrieg lightning light Iraq invasion force.

6. What about when...
I've seen NO leadership skills from her at all, not even EVIL leadership skills.

What about when she shot laser beams out her eyes to fry that basket of kittens? That was pretty evil I think!

12. Numbers one and two on your list make sense, but in my eyes,
especially considering Laura's "slip" the other day about how America will have a woman president "soon," they're at least considering running her despite the inevitable grinding of teeth in the South, Midwest and certain parts of the East. Not saying my Left Coast is racism-free, but the GOP will see resistance in the Heartland. Sort of. Your edit that she isn't a good neo-con, though--egh. Can't agree. She's the perfect neo-con slave. She has virtually no idependent identity of her own, apart from that bunch. She's even on board with the horrifying Dominionist crew. They'll use a 'bad' neo-con any day before they'll use McCain, who still hates them.

10. Helpful tip: I recommend Reynolds brand over generic tinfoil.
Much stronger for hatmaking.

11. Huh. No flames here 'cause that's actually not too insane for me
to feel motivated to tell your friend to bust out the tin-foil, but...while it makes sense in theory, sort of, Rosa Parks' dementia was well documented...or was it? Seriously, this has me intrigued.
