Well, guy, I won't reply in kind, but, let's take a look at part of your explanation.

"One way is to say that until there is infrastructure to handle the extra babies that it is pointless to ban abortion."

All the couples waiting to adopt a child might not agree that more babies should be killed.

Being "mildly pro-choice" is reminiscent of "partly pregnant". My first post made the point that a "pro-choice" VP candidate will completly turn off those social conservatives who might otherwise support the Republican ticket. In my opinion a "mildly pro-choice" candidate will have the same effect. If you are not pro-life, then naturally none of this will make any sense.

Watts would be a good choice.

Yes he would.

Condi Rice couldn't win five dollars at the weekly VWF Bingo Night.....so what could she add to a ticket?

And I bet the Israelis would REALLY dance in the streets if she was up for Veep.....that is, if there's still an Israel when she and the treasonous Arab Street in her State Department get done with it.

Huck is not a bad choice. He can appeal to women. He will not loose McCain any votes and he may stop conservative defection.

Alan Keyes would talk over him. The man doesn’t know the meaning of restraint.

Condi as the VP pick would be a disaster on top of another disaster. It would be seen as yet another cynical form of “compassionate conservatism”. “Yeah, the Dems are running a black or a woman [depending on whether Obama or Hillary gets the ‘Rat nomination], but we’re trying our best to be racially & gender diverse, too!”

It won’t work. Blacks who are race-obsessed only vote for Democrat blacks. Whites who want to prove they aren’t “racist” by electing a black only vote for Democrat blacks. Feminists who want to elect women only vote for Democrat women.

In other words, McCain won’t cut into the black vote by picking Condi, and he won’t cut into the women’s vote, either.

What he will do is look like an affirmative action-driven multi-cultural panderer, which will only further prove that he’s beta to the Democrats’ alpha.

Not to mention that Condi is pro-abortion, she obsesses about racial issues that are fifty years old almost as strongly as the Democrats, and she’s insulted Israel while pandering to the Muslims. And she reminds the public of President Bush, who will be a drag on the GOP already, even without having one of his cabinet members on the ticket.

Bad, bad idea to put Condi on the ticket. I stand in awe of the power of Political Correctness. The ‘Rats are obsessing over race and gender and the response of many Republicans is to try to find racial or gender appeal to add to our ticket. If Barney Frank was leading for the Democrat nomination we’d have people here endorsing the Log Cabin Republicans so we could have a gay guy on our ticket, too.

BUT he lost in Maryland !
As great as he is, he would be immediately thought of by the mostly ‘unthinking electorate’ as a loser! The press would immediately label him with that. There would be these constant off-the-cuff references like, ‘Well you know Ted, Steele lost his bid to be senator’. He would constantly have that albatross to deal with.

I’ve seen you insult many people on the right in the last two months. It’s really repulsive.

LOL!. well, at least you've picked the right screen name.

Since the candidates are all so lacking in “experience” I think McCain should pick Mike Ditka. Atleast he’s got experience in football and since congress seems bent on going after sports figures these days, we could use an experienced sports figure at the senate helm! Would make for enjoyable C-SPAN coverage! Mike’s response to the football investigation: You bunch of dumba@##es need to cut this crap out and get back to work”. I’d pay big money to hear him tell off Hillary, Teddy, and Barbara box-of-rocks!

I can only assume your comment suggests Condi is anti-Israel, I don’t believe that for a minute.

I am as pro-Israel as they come, and in no way anti-semitic.

Now, if that wasn’t the intent of your comment, I have no idea what you were trying to suggest.

Presidential wannabe John McCain is poised to ask US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to be his running mate

Chuckle, He he, guffaw, Roaring laughter.............

From the purely political angle this is a winner. The Lefties are deciding who should be President, someone with a vagina, or someone with dark skin, and they are having a time of it making a decision. Can't you just imagine their dilemma.........skin, vagina,…. skin? vagina? Who to support?

Our side, it seems could offer both in one package. We are even throwing in a white skinned guy. An old one, to get the senior vote! And everyone knows it's the seniors who vote, not the youngsters.

Too good to be true. I might even vote for such a ticket!

re: She has said or at least implied that she doesn’t want VP

I’ve heard that the job she REALLY wants is to be the NFL Commissioner! I think she’d be great at that job. Anyone who has excelled in life as she has is entitled to have the job they want after spending years and years in public service.

"She is pure political gold. The woman is tough, fast on her feet and able to give better than she gets."

She is an incompetent academic (like Albright) who should have been canned along with Tenet on 9/12/2001. Tough? She stammered like a retard in front of the 9/11 Commission. She is a Jew-hating Saudi stooge. Add Rice and I stay home on election day.

She is brilliant.

She is indeed brilliant...at piano. Not much else. The so-called "Russian expert" got it totally wrong on Putin, and now is childishly bashing him out of frustration.

That job may be vacant sooner than expected because of SpyGate. Goodell's tape destruction has gotten more press than the CIA waterboarding tape deletions.

Michael Steele, but didn’t he get defeated for the Senate in Maryland? I like the guy, and from what I’ve seen he CAN be combative...is he a true conservative or would he be another McCain?
