Comments on: Rice Is Right For McCain's VP

The Nation: Putting Condoleezza Rice On The Republican Ticket Would Cause Indescribable Angst For Dems

[dronemonk]

The Republican Party ought be renamed to

"(what''s left of) The Republican Party"

The shocking ineptitude displayed during the Bush reign (of which Rice has been a big part) has converted me from "staunch Republican" to "reluctant anarchist"

No room for fiscal conservatives--all fear mongering, all the time.

Yet another reason why a bureaucracy is not the answer.

The woman wasn''''t bright enough to figure out that Osama bin Laden wasn''''t going to give her a detailed plan of where he was going to attack in August of 2001! So she did literally nothing to stop the attacks! This woman would make a real good VP! They might go down in history as being worse than the Bush Administration!

She was warned in January 2001, the administration was warned AGAIN in March 2001, and she was warned AGAIN in July 2001. These are all documented and the link below provides a copy of the memo sent in January 2001. This is a good choice for a VP?

Perhaps, but it%u2019s not a matter of competence. Seriously. It%u2019s not about pleasing the masses. Let them get back to Survivor. The grand ol%u2019 party is runnin%u2019 this show folks. Didn%u2019t you notice?

Democracy stopped working around the time it%u2019s constituent population swelled beyond about 10,000. If you really want change then look beyond the parties. They are, after all, what%u2019s been running the show for generations. Becoming set in one%u2019s ways is simply a manifestation of getting old.

Where do these people get this garbage?

She is seen as just another of Bush''s lackeys and is one of the main reasons that we''re in the debacle in Iraq. They act like she carries so much political clout, that she could get him elected.

On the contrary - if he picks "mushroom cloud" Condi as his running mate, it''ll be just one more reason NOT to vote for him.

Putting Rice on any political ticket would make it easier to prove how totally incompetent she really is. Next to King George she is a genius, but a door *** is a genius next to him. She has been a terrible National Security Advisor and Secretary of State. Name ONE accomplishment. There are none to report. I guess the Nation thinks that the Repubs would gain points by adding a Black Women to the ticket %u2013 everyone would see through this manipulation. Oboma may be black and Clinton may be female; but what they have over Rice is that they are both competent!

Careful whom you label %u201Cwar criminal.%u201D Remember how easy it is to get someone disappeared these days just by labeling him a terrorist.

I have issues with Rice but they are nothing like what I have with someone who would dare tell me that I shall purchase health insurance%u2014or pay for someone else%u2019s.

Get a clue. This is how politics works. It%u2019s never a matter of voting for the candidate closest to God. Rather, it%u2019s more a matter of trying to decide which one is least likely to become the devil.

At least with regard to strategy%u2014-the only thing more potent than a McCain/Rice ticket would be a Rice/McCain ticket. Try it%u2026 see%u2026 unless ya scadt.

NOT TO BE OUT DONE BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, THE REPUBS, ARE PLANNING THEIR OWN VERSION OF THE HISTORIC PRESIDENTUAL ELECTION. TO HAVE RICE AS A VP CANDIDATE, THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN TO BE ELECTED. NICE TRY, TOO LITTLE TO LATE.

RICE IS A CORE BUSH INSIDER AND WILL GO DOWN AS ANOTHER PROMISSING YOUNG FUTURE LEADER, TO HAVE HER LEGACY TIED TO THIS CURRENT ARROGANT, INCOMPETENT, AND CRIMINAL ADMINISTRATION.

THE DEMOCRATS WILL WELCOME HER WITH OPEN ARMS AS THE GOP V P CANIDATE IN THE RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE.

Rice is a war criminal.

She should be tried for crimes against humanity and if found guilty - HUNG!
