Rice to Kerry..."elections don't mean democracy"....

[Skidmore]

boy is that rich. From repeat of her testimony on Wednesday before the Foreign Relations Committee.

[melissinha]

1. She said that?

Truth from Condi???? She is disproving BushCo's whole argument there.

[acmejack]

3. She was being her snippy little self.

You know how she can be.

[Skidmore]

7. She was indeed. She cannot hide her contempt for Boxer.

I love it when Boxer nails her on her lies and her obsfuscating. Weaselly little varmit, she is.

[Skidmore]

4. Yes, she did.

I about dropped my water glass. Oh, the irony.

You know what? He agreed with her.

[punpirate]

2. Well, if any administration would know...

... about that, it's this one.

[Quakerfriend]

6. I wish to god Kerry had said that to her, in reply!!!!!!!!

[sasha031]

24. Kerry Said That To Her!

I heard it, he was brilliant....really really brilliant:applause:

Rice was her usual psychotic lying self...even Chaffey was great..

he said something to the effect,
"Let's see, we don't talk to Hammas because we don't like them, nor Bolivia,Venezuela,Iran, Chili, who are we talking to."

[LittleClarkie]

25. He said that?! Yikes!

Heh.

[sasha031]

26. he was beautiful LittleClarkie

I turned it on when Barbara had just got through Boxing Rice, then Chaffe, and Kerry..

"Just because there is an election doesn't mean there is Demeocracy"

[ginnyinWI]

31. He said to her--

something like, "Just having an election doesn't mean you have a democracy." and she hemmed and hawed a while, then finally agreed, and then said,with that little shake of her head, "but as far as I know, there has never been a democracy without an election first." (Kerry rattles her like nobody else can)

Then he answered, "America's democracy began with a revolution, not an election" and she said, "yeah but an election followed right after..." But she was wrong. We had a Declaration of Independence, and then a long bloody war, and then they finally selected some delegates from each state and put together a Constitution and a federal government. No popular elections for quite some time! And we did it ourselves for the most part--didn't have another country coming in and overthrowing the British and occupying us and sending their own troops to die. We had help from the French but our founding fathers made sure that we put ourselves under no political obligation to them or anyone else.

[politicaholic]

5. Well, she's sorta right...

Saddam got 99% of the vote in his last election. Some coutries vote, but they're theocracies so as long as you vote for the correct religious leader then you won't go to hell...or jail.

[radfringe]

17. you bet she's right

bush lost in 2000 but his butt is still planted in the oval orafice and now he's shredding the constitution and bill of rights

[politicaholic]

20. Bill of rights...constitution...I heard of those somewhere...

but everytime I think of them my head aches and this new scar on my forehead starts itching.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

22. Yep and Jimmy Carter said his outfit would have ruled ours

as 'failed' too. something like 'doesn't meet the international standards for a fair, free election.' I love Jimmy :)

[rodeodance]

8. well, then what was the months of election, election talk from Adm? they

sure meant freedom a few months ago!!!!!

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. Oh that's rich. So what the hell do elections mean?

And this person is being considered as a candidate for the Presidency? :rofl:

[spanone]

11. Don't forget our election in 2000. Meant nothing. Supreme Court Apointee

[helderheid]

18. 2004 apparently too - exit polls don't lie.

[SammyWinstonJack]

19. And 2002 also stolen. It wasn't enough to just wack Sen Wellstone, they

also had to steal the election.

[area51]

10. Never thought I'd hear the truth from her.

Elections sure didn't mean democracy here.

[Hobarticus]

12. Stuff just writes itself, doesn't it? n/t

[EFerrari]

15. Yes, it does. n/t

[havocmom]

13. So she is admitting purple fingers do not equate to success

and democracy on the march! Boy, is she gonna get it!

[helderheid]

14. she would know.

[warrens]

16. Except in Iraq, of course

They pick and choose which elections mean democracy.

[debbierlus]

21. Wow. She is right for once.

[Wilms]

23. She got that right. n/t

[mom cat]

27. She must have been referring to the victory in Haiti It is not a

neo-con :democracy" where tha corporations rule.

[GetTheRightVote]

28. I can not believe Ricebowl let the truth out like that, thank you Kerry

[saltpoint]

29. I listened to about 2/3rds of Kerry's questioning of Dr. Rice and

felt that while he was not terribly dynamic in his approach, his grasp of the subject and range in expressing its considerations absolutely swamped lil' Condi.

I betcha there ain't nobody over at State who talks back at Condoleezza like that.

(to the tune of "Mona Lisa"):

"Condoleezza, Condoleezza, lies become you..."

Go John Kerry.

[Bluesplayer]

30. did she know she said it out loud?

[rman]

32. exept in Iraq, right?

making up the rules as they go, as usual.
