Condi - The Republican's stealth nominee against the Hildabeast in 2008.

Mono a mono! (Or however you spell it! ;-)

BRING IT ON, DEMS!

[concerned about politics]

But we should not let our voice waver in speaking out on the side of people who are seeking freedom. And we must never, ever indulge in the condescending voices who allege that some people in Africa or in the Middle East are just not interested in freedom, they're culturally just not ready for freedom or they just aren't ready for freedom's responsibilities.

We've heard that argument before, and we, more than any, as a people, should be ready to reject it. The view was wrong in 1963 in Birmingham, and it is wrong in 2003 in Baghdad and in the rest of the Middle East.

Think they'll "hear" her? Or will they close their ears, and follow their Democrat masters who've kept them imprisoned in housing complexes for the last 40 years?

Awesome!

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Oh, c'mon Condi. We know we invaded Iraq and killed women and children for oil.

[Hank Rearden]

When is she scheduled to speak before the National Association of White Journalists? And do they report different stuff?

[goodnesswins]

"Their Democrat masters" have a vested interest in keeping a certain amount of the Black population imprisoned.....just like the Black slaveholders of Africa did......it earns them money and power.

[Pro-Bush]

Think they'll "hear" her?

Yes I do. Condi has a way of conveying herself. She is totally believable. I, and I suspect most Americans, believe that she means everything she says. It is her conviction, loyalty, intelligence, and passion for excellence that really makes her shine. There is no way not to "hear" Condi Rice.

[Pro-Bush]

When is she scheduled to speak before the National Association of White Journalists?

Give me a break, there is no National Association of White Journalists..Nice try.

[FairOpinion]

Regarding Iraq, she could have quoted Gore:

June 26, 2000 Al Gore:

``I believe that there can be no peace for the Iraqi people and a genuine peace for the people of the Middle East so long as Saddam is in a position to brutalize his people and threaten his neighbors,'' Gore told representatives of forces trying to topple the Iraqi president.

``In the interests of regional peace and for the sake of human decency, (Saddam) must be removed from power. That is the policy of this administration. It is the policy I support. It is the policy I am personally committed to,'' Gore said.

[Pro-Bush]

There is no comparison between Condi and Gore. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that Saddam had to go. It is also not a fair comparison to compare Condi against Gore without taking her whole speech, let alone her charachter, into contex.

[Pro-Bush]

I know Hank. I understand what you are getting at.

[New Zealander]

Thanks mate - posting that has provided me with a few more points to serve up to those who think defeating saddam was wrong - especially those who tell me North Korea was a bigger threat. Her clear reasoning blows that idea out of the water!

[Pro-Bush]

Thanks for tuning in. We have the same problem here in the states, you know, with our pacifist misguided leftist friends, co-workers, and family members. Glad you stopped by! Back to bludging!

When Condi is speaking to some heavy left association, or any such, she is slopping hogs with caviar. Mark my words, they [the heavy left vermin] are beyond persuasion. Condi and her boss, Dubya, truly believe in the power of freedom and as long as their focus is on people rather than the quisling media they will prevail, Praise the Lord. Maybe someday before the Lord calls me home I will get to hear Condi do the Grieg concerto - would not that be something - Condi, are you listening to this old Marine?

[MJY1288]

Condi Rice is one tough cookie, But it doesn't hurt to have the truth on her side :-)

These democrats are basing every claim against this Administration on a pack of lies. To listen to Al Gore today was an eye opening experience. here we have a man who claims he is not interested in running for the Presidency and yet he still bases his whole speech on several bald face lies.

He claimed that President Bush denied us the opportunity to have a healthy debate before going to war...That is so completely false that it makes me wonder if Al Gore hasn't been in some kind of Coma since 9/11. Shortly after 9/11 President Bush told the world that if you support a terrorist, you're at terrorist. If you harbour a terrorist you're a terrorist. What part of Saddam Hussein sending $25,000.00 checks to the families of suicide bombers exempts him from the "Must be Removed From Power" list ?

The notion that Saddam was a peaceful man who had nothing to hide since 1998 is beyond laughable. Just like we should believe Kim jong Ill gave up his quest for Nuclear weapons, because WJC and Jimma Kotta struck a deal with N. Korea in 1994 that cost us billions while Kim Jong Ill never intended to live up to his end of the bargain.

These kind of mistakes will never happen while Condi Rice can help it. IMHO she is terrific.

Al Gore claimed GWB said Iraq was an immenent threat, That's a lie as well, GWB said from day one that this would be a long war, and he said that Iraq would require a long tern committment in order to democracy to Iraq. The lies these people are telling will come back to huant them BIG TIME

Remember who he was speaking to .. Moveon.org and you funds them.

The Dems are losing a lot of money because folks associated with moveon.org are sending their checks to Dean
