You want to tell us Clarence Thomas is an affirmative action pick ?
Keep thinking like a liberal
Shame on you, pissant.
I don’t think she would want it either.
Many of the Republican senators who voted to confirm Ginsburg and Breyer said that they would never have appointed them themselves. They just said that Clinton won the election and they were the best choices one could reasonably expect from a Democratic president.
No, not really. B.O.-mania was made possible by Loser John Edwards, Polarizing Hillary Clinton, the absence of Al Gore, and other nobodies like Kucinich, Dodd, Biden, and Gravel. It's kind of a perfect storm.
Hillary's a "negro"?. The Condi Rice as VP idea has been out there since atleast 2003 when many suggested that she run on Bush's second term ticket in order for us to have an incumbant in 2008.
John McCain also likes Janice Rogers Brown, so having a President McCain appoint Janice Rogers Brown to the U.S. Supreme Court in the future is a possibility. It will truly depend upon if the next President is McCain and if the next Congress is truly a conservative majority in the U.S. Senate. This is just one example of a political incentive to truly get all of the conservative voters to not stay at home on November 4 and to truly vote for McCain and to also vote for conservatives at every political level on November 4!
“Many of the Republican senators who voted to confirm Ginsburg and Breyer said that they would never have appointed them themselves. They just said that Clinton won the election and they were the best choices one could reasonably expect from a Democratic president.”
We all know that, that is why it is useless to pull out a candidates vote on supreme court justices, it is always an almost 100% vote.
In short, she's too much of a lightning rod, and will allow the Dem nominee to run against Bush rather than McCain.
So what if it’s been out there. It hasn’t been done yet, and if they do it now, it’s obviously being done only to counter what the Democrats are doing.
Those who believe McCain will now go against his track record and stand against Democrats, particularly on judges, are fooling themselves.
Need I invoke the Gang of 14?
Obama is not only pro-abortion, he is the one who fought Jill Stanek’s group in Illinois on the Born Alive Protection Act.
He actually fought a law to protect babies who were born alive when their mothers intended to kill them!
Both Hillary and Obama voted against the Partial Birth Abortion Ban. (and, of course, Bill Clinton vetoed it when it passed the House and Senate 3 times over the course of his administration.)
That being said, Rice has been an absolute disaster in the State Department.
Whoopee!
Ginsberg had 3 votes against her, you are really rocking our world.
All black voters need to see is the McCain family portrait
His adopted daughter is black. She had a cleft palate and was a part of operation smile I believe.
That made me like him even more.
Many of us have considered Secretary Rice in her own right as Presidential material.
The VP is nearly always selected on how he (she) will balance the ticket and bring in some group of voters, whether it be the South, Conservatives, etc.s
She’s not exactly pro-choice. In fact, she’s been a bit evasive about it. She’s said that she wouldn’t act to overturn Roe v. Wade. Which is what President and Mrs. Bush said. All before the changes with 4-D ultrasound and embryonic stem cell debates — and especially before the Partial Birth Abortion ban.
I’d like to see Oklahoma Former Congressman J.C. Watts. in the job. Again, someone I’ve thought of in his own right. Many have considered Steele, who speaks as a conservative.
What I do not want is to see Kay Bailey Hutchinson on the ticket.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday in an interview with reporters and editors from the... Washington Times described herself as "mildly pro-choice" and "kind of libertarian" on abortion issues, adding that she would not want the federal government "forcing its views on one side or the other" (Sammon, Washington Times, 3/12). Rice said she believes President Bush "has been in exactly the right place" on abortion, "which is we have to respect the culture of life and we have to try and bring people to have respect for it and make this as rare a circumstance as possible" (Allen, Washington Post, 3/13). However, she added that she has been "concerned about a government role" but has "tended to agree with those who do not favor federal funding for abortion, because I believe that those who hold a strong moral view on the other side should not be forced to fund" the procedure. Rice said she also is a "strong proponent of parental notification" and "a ban on late-term abortion." She added, "These are all things that I think unite people, and I think that that's where we should be." Rice, who is the daughter of a Presbyterian preacher, called abortion an "extremely difficult moral issue" that she said she approaches as a "deeply religious person" (Washington Times, 3/12). She said that abortion "should be an issue pretty infrequently because we ought to have a culture that says that, 'Who wants to have an abortion? Who wants to see a daughter or a friend or a sibling go through something like that?'" Rice has been quoted as having a "mildly pro-choice" stance on abortion since an August 1999 National Review profile, according to the Post (Washington Post, 3/13). When asked about speculation that she might run for president in the 2008 election, Rice said, "I never wanted to run for anything. ... I'm going to try to be a really good secretary of state; I'm going to work really hard at it. I have enormous respect for people who do run for office. It's really hard for me to imagine myself in that role" (Washington Times, 3/12).
I've been for Condi for President for years, ever since I heard an interview when she was asked about her stance on the second amendment.
She stated that she was absolutely behind the second amendment as she remembered her father and other black men taking turns standing guard with shotguns on the street corners of her neighborhood during the racial problems of the time.
She said that every American deserved the right to gun ownership and self defense.
When anyone has had a gut level experience like that, NOTHING is going to change their opinion and you can count on them to defend that opinion to the end.
On the other hand, he is getting on in years...
