TAMPA-- Former Sec. of State Condoleezza Rice implored Republicans to champion a "compassionate" immigration policy in her speech at the Republican National Convention Wednesday.

"We must continue to welcome the world's most ambitious people to be a part of us. In that way we stay young and optimistic and determined," Rice said. "We need immigration laws that protect our borders; meet our economic needs; and yet show that we are a compassionate people."

Fiscal conservative and defense hawk. I tend to be more libertarian on the rest.

Reagan was compassionate and gave illegals amnesty. Its time to enforce the law and encourage legal immigration.

What is compassionate about letting in unlimited Mexicans while keeping out hard-working Filipinos, Chinese, Australians, etc?

Is that compassion, or racism? I vote Door Number 2...

Then go to tor local CATV Access station and reserve 4 hours and broadcast your screed(s).

You might convert a voter or two.

Otherwise respect someone who made it farther in her life that you do in your wet dreams.

Exactly and 25+ years ago when most with a brain understood that was a bad idea. This was prior to being over run with tens of millions of illegals and floods of Muslims....And what did Bush do for eight freaking years, 25+ years later as we were being over run?

Ya, he wanted another GD amnesty as he made American citizenship all but pointless. Ya think we missed it?

“And on a personal note—a little girl grows up in Jim Crow Birmingham—the most segregated big city in America—her parents can’t take her to a movie theater or a restaurant—but they make her believe that even though she can’t have a hamburger at the Woolworth’s lunch counter—she can be President of the United States and she becomes the Secretary of State. “

All before the feds got their paws on k-12 education.

Hopefully Mitt Romney will toss out King Barack Hussein Obama.
`Barry Soetero’ has been measured and found wanting in the categories competence, maturity and political acumen.
And: honesty, gravitas, prudence, ethos, etc. and so on, ad infinitum, but I have to get to bed and listing all his deficiencies could take `til daybreak.

We will all (let’s hope) have a conversation similar to this one here on Free Republic in four years as to whether President Romney has shown that he deserves another term.

President Obama has failed that test with flying colors. For once in his life his self-esteem will not be fortified by sycophantic flatterers, and he will be sent packing to the lucrative lecture circuit where he will compete with the disintegrating Messrs. Carter and Clinton for the title of “Worst Former President Ever”.

Let’s be sure the White House spoons are all counted before the Great Democratic Disappointment and his charming wife turn in their keys.

And, dear Emperor, we will all be keeping good notes, 2013-2016.

There. Is everybody happy?
Everyone’s a little bit unhappy?
That’s a sign of a good deal.
That’s great.

Well obviously the majority of Republicans missed it since they give us politicians who want to repeat that policy.

Idiot. Leave Condi alone, knuckle-dragger.
Now, you will pay the price for your lack of vision! (Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Is Condi sapphic or not?
Did she support Obama on racial lines or not?
Did Condi take the the side of the Arab Gulf States on almost everything or not?
Did she, or did she not, make really stupid statements on the Palestinians?
Does she, or does she not want to bring in and give citizenship to natural Democrats?

She spoke at length about ambitious people, the kind who enter the tech industry which she referenced specifically. No remark was made about illegal aliens; these remarks were clearly about legal immigrants. H1-B visa-types, high-skilled workers.

Obviously, some commenters have goon off half-cocked because of "compassion" but the racism and misogyny I've come to expect in Condi threads hasn't really shown its ugly mug.

LOL!

You are a liberal and you support liars.

Apparently you also support homosexual drug using doctors giving out no cost to the slut late term abortions that I pay for through my taxes.

So you are not a true fiscal conservative either.

>> Anyone still want this broad to be President? <<

I saw a number of "conservatives" gushing over her on Facebook tonight and saying we should have nominated her for President instead. Amazing. People who agree with them on 80-90% of the issues are dirty filthy RINO scum, but a liberal like Rice who is pro-abortion, pro-illegal alien amnesty, pro-Palestinian, and even celebrated Obama's election, is a "conservative role model" and "heroic leader"

Some conservatives are their own worst enemy. I have to conclude the freepers trashing people who agree with them and cheering on liberals are either 1) Completely ignorant on where high profile GOP figures stand on the issues, 2) Deliberately lying to advance an agenda because they act like the left and promote people based on whether the candidate is "good looking" and "speaking well", or 3) Schizophrenic and off their meds.

>> She wants no part of politics. She is happy being back at Stanford. <<

Good. I hope she stays there. I thought her tenure as SoS was lousy and she turned out to be little more than Colin Powell in drag. Why so many "conservatives" worship her is beyond me. I guess being a RINO is okay if you're a black woman. Lindsay Graham is well to the right of her, and freepers hate him. He just needs a good tan and sex change operation and Condi's fan club would be swooning over him.
