Why the RIGHT fears Condi.

She is "reluctantly" pro-choice. Ms. Rice's support for abortion will never be accepted by Conservatives. Those in our party who flirt with her over a VP slot or an '08 Presidential run scare conservatives, who will bolt the party over abortion.

I think abortion is a serious issue. On the other hand, you have to look at the whole picture and also consider what is the proper format for addressing this problem.

Outlaw it?? SURE. It will go on anyway.

The way to address it is the way the liberals are trying to get their anti-gun agenda through. Kill it incrementally. Institute parental approval policies, end late term abortions, require pre-abortion counseling, etc., etc. Eventually you will gut the monster.

The REAL problem is a breakdown in morality and values which leads to this. When society at large - and that consists of a large number of women, even conservative women, consider killing their own baby a basic "right" something is deeply wrong with that society. The inherent lack of morality which produces this thinking must be addressed.

We can do that by going after idiot criminal judges like the freaks who outlawed the ten commandments in down in Georgia, and mosr recently in a public park. Going after decisions which attempt to remove God and Judaeo-Christian principles from the workplace. Refusing to pander to an evil foreign cult and its practitioners (ISLAM).

Stanind up to the thugs in the ACLU who promote NAMBLA, pronography, and most recently, the "right" of prostitutes
to "advertise" while attacking holidayas like Christmas and Christian and Jewish symbols on public proerty.

We didn't come to Roe versus Wade overnight. It was the end product of a long gradual erosion of public morality which began years ago when the Federal Courts decided that prayers and God have no place in a public school.

Abortion is the bitter fruit of that tree of deception and immorality.

"When the local superintendent of Negro schools decided that Condi was too young to attend first grade, Angelena took a year off from work to teach her daughter at home."

I see one reason why the Dems would fear a HOMESCHOOLED black woman. Her education credentials are beyond question, AND SHE'S CONSERVATIVE!!!!! AND SHE GREW UP IN ALABAMA, and knows the Dems for who they really are.

This is not the way I wanted to see things happen, but we may be nearing a tipping point with Cheney. There is nothing of substance to the charges against him, but a meme is a meme and we may be nearing that point where he becomes a drag on the ticket.

It is a good thing that Bush has Rice in reserve. Indeedy, I wouldn't be surprised if he has Condi in the on-deck circle.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

I know what you're saying, but I believe the perceived betrayal of loyalty involved in dumping Cheney, who has been a "good and faithful servant" in this administration, and loss of solid conservative support, would far outweigh the benefits of what would be widely pounced on and portrayed by the snakes on the left to be pandering.

Part of my support for President Bush is based on his loyalty and moral compass for doing the right thing, as well his ability to put together a totally kick-*ss team that is functioning smoothly. A shake-up now would be widely perceived by the right (and middle) as instability, and gleefully perceived by the looney left as an admission of weakness. This is NOT a president who sticks his finger in the wind to find his running mate, and we are that much the luckier for it.

Besides, don't you want to see a Cheney/Edwards debate, or a Cheney/Kerry debate, or even a Cheney/Shrillary debate? I'd pull out the popcorn for any of those, LOL!

All that aside for this election cycle, Condi is deservedly one of our party's shining stars. What an incredible person she is! She IS the right stuff. . .just not now. We need her to fill our bench, to prepare against the shrill one.
