Black On Black Election?

Condi Rice is now "actively campaigning" to run with John McCain as Vice President. She will probably get the nod because Republicans are stupid enough to believe she will pull black votes away from Obama. But she won�t, mostly because the guy above her on the ticket will be an old, white man named John McCain who sort of voted against a MLK holiday back in the '80s.

But he didn�t know any better because he was only 50 when he voted against the MLK �issue.� Who knew about the Martin Luther King �issue� before they were 50? Not me.

So, that could be a constant and embarrassing topic if McCain chooses Condi. If he does pick her, it will be like slapping a little Bush on his shoulder to remind America of how horrible his presidency will be. A little, black, lady Bush, who is one hell of a piece of shit. Let�s take a look at Condi�s superior governing abilities.

I don't think anybody could have predicted that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile.

Condi Rice - May 16, 2002.

Really? Well, I guess not many people saw the Lone Gunman pilot on Fox early in 2001, during which a terrorist flew a hijacked plane into the World Trade Center.

Oh, and never mind that George W. Bush was given a briefing on August 6, 2001 informing him that al Qaeda was capable of using hijacked airplanes to strike against targets within the US. Also, don�t remember that one month earlier, Bush was told that terrorists had plans to use planes as missiles.

Our pre-9/11 plan called for military options to attack al Qaeda and Taliban leadership, ground forces and other targets, taking the fight to the enemy where he lived.

Condoleezza Rice - March 22, 2004

Wow, what a big fucking lie. At least, that's what 9/11 Commission member Jamie Gorelick says.

There is nothing in the NSPD that came out that we could find that had an invasion plan, a military plan.

Huh. Deputy Secretary of State, Richard Armitage also said there was no plan. That�s two against one, Condi.

He already has other weapons of mass destruction.

Condoleezza Rice � November 2002

Not so much, liar.

The problem here is that there will always be some uncertainty about how quickly he can acquire nuclear weapons, but we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.

Condoleezza Rice � January 2003.

It�s kind of hard to make a mushroom cloud with no big nuclear mushroom thingy.

Condi Rice is a waste of human skin. She misjudged the terrorist threat leading up to 9/11, lied about it and then misled America in the build up to the Iraq War. She is just as responsible for the disaster that is Iraq as Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush.

Rice has zero credibility here or anywhere else in the world. Why would the leader of any country or the American people ever believe a word this blatant liar spewed out of her gap-toothed mouth? She was the National Security Advisor when the World Trade Center was destroyed. Rice should have been tossed out on her incompetent ass and publicly humiliated for the rest of her life.

Contrary to her bullshit cover-up, Bush was given a two-page document in August 2001, describing exactly what would happen. Here are some of the vague highlights.

Bin Laden told followers he wanted to retaliate in Washington.

Indicates patterns of suspicious activity in this country consistent with preparations for hijackings or other types of attacks, including recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York.

A group of bin Laden supporters are in the U.S. planning attacks.

Condi Rice did not convene a Cabinet-level meeting to discuss the urgent warnings. She�s a miserable failure whose inaction and ineptitude led to the deaths of thousands of Americans. That�s probably why...

Many experts consider her one of the weakest national security advisers in recent history in terms of managing interagency conflicts.

Oh, that�s someone who needs to be elevated to Vice President. This woman shouldn�t be considered for the office. An appropriate place for Condi would be in a ditch somewhere, covered in feces for all eternity.

FearTheReaper does not believe in 9/11 Conspiracy theories. He thinks some idiots fucked up. The only people worse than Bush and his boys are you morons who can�t accept reality. So, take your 9/11 Truth shit and cram it up your ass.

You really believe Republicans think Condi Rice will siphon black votes in this political environment? You've GOT to be kidding. Anyone with half a brain who pays the slightest attention to politics knows the black base sees her, and just about any other black with opposing political views, as nothing but "Uncle Toms."

If the Republicans were half as stupid as you paint them to be, and the Democrats half as smart, then there'd never, ever be a question of who would be running the country.

And you quote Jamie Gorelick, one of the biggest political hacks on the 9/11 Commission. Talk about putting a fox in charge of a henhouse. She should have been INVESTIGATED, not part of the INVESTIGATORS. Directly responsible for much of the Clinton policy separating the CIA/FBI terrorism cooperation, her contribution to the left had not having any idea what the right hand was doing can not be overstated.

If we keep on fighting with rhetoric instead of facts, we don't get anywhere but further apart from reality.

Dear Mr. Reaper :Condi and i go to the pistol range whenever she's in town. She gets the best football seats anywhere, sometimes SD and sometimes Oakland. She really is the sweetness "Condollezza", if only you knew her like I do, you wouldn't talk about her that way.

I guess that's the difference between you and me. If I found myself anywhere near an individual as loathsome as Rice, I would tell her what I think of her and leave it at that.

I'm sure some people have charming, personal stories about Idi Amin, too.

All your post has accomplished is that now I have less respect for you.

Added to the above stated Condi-lies: I don't think it would be very bright to pick as a VP running mate ANYONE remotely linked to the current Bush-fiasco. I think that would be the final nail... for any candidate.

The GOP has to see that chosing Rice as the VP would weaken their chances down to nothing. It would be a sign of defeat. I don't know who would be a better choice (hard to choose amongst asshats), but she would drag them into a certain loss.

With that in mind . . . Go Condi, get that nomination!

Oh, and she's a war criminal:

The discussions in the White House were top secret and sources say, involve some of the President's most senior and influential advisors, principals of the National Security Council. In dozens of private talks and meetings, sources said that a handful of top advisors discussed specific high-value al Qaeda prisoners and exactly how those prisoners would be interrogated. Whether, for example, they would be slapped, pushed, deprived of sleep or subjected to simulated drowning, called waterboarding. The discussion about the "enhanced interrogation techniques" were so detailed, sources said, the interrogations were almost choreographed, down to the number of times the CIA could use a specific tactic. Former CIA director George Tenet, in an interview last year with ABC News told Charles Gibson,

"It was authorized. It was legal, according to the Attorney General of the United States."

It also was discussed and approved in meetings by the National Security Council's Principals Committee, a group that included Vice President Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfeld, George Tenet, John Ashcroft.

She isn't going to be McCains running mate. I belive i saw on one of the news programs they had a GOP stratigist that she said she isn't even trying to go for the vp spot nor would McCain have much to gain by picking her. All this speculation that she is activly campaigning just becouse she went to a dinner party a large group of conservatives run is a bit silly. Also if you watch Bush's War on Frontline you will know that she was kept in the dark on almost every thing that was going on since Rumsfield would never willingly give her information and at one point she had to have her own staff be sent over to spy to get the information she needed. Not saying she is innocent but I do think she gets too much blame for being some one benched most of the time from the start.

Yes, she was kept out of things, but that isn't much of an excuse for someone in her position. If she was really and truly bothered by the whole thing, she would have resigned in protest and brought Rumsfeld's plotting out to the rest of us.

I was just going to post that.

Here's the original story.

And anyone saying she "was kept out of things" is either ill-informed or drinking the kool-aid. Rumsfeld keeping her in the dark about one matter is not, by any stretch of the imagination, evidence that she was out of the loop on everything.

A year later, amidst the outcry over unrelated abuses of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib, the controversial 2002 legal memo, which gave formal legal authorization for the CIA interrogation program of the top al Qaeda suspects, leaked to the press. A new senior official in the Justice Department, Jack Goldsmith, withdrew the legal memo -- the Golden Shield -- that authorized the program.

But the CIA had captured a new al Qaeda suspect in Asia. Sources said CIA officials that summer returned to the Principals Committee for approval to continue using certain "enhanced interrogation techniques."

Then-National Security Advisor Rice, sources said, was decisive. Despite growing policy concerns -- shared by Powell -- that the program was harming the image of the United States abroad, sources say she did not back down, telling the CIA: "This is your baby. Go do it."

She doesn't want to be the VP.

Condoleezza Rice has plans to head West after her time as secretary of State %u2014 not plans to be vice president.

She stressed Tuesday that she has no aspirations to join John McCain as his running mate on the Republican presidential ticket this fall. McCain, an Arizona senator, has wrapped up the GOP presidential nomination.

"Senator McCain is an extraordinary American, a really outstanding leader and obviously a great patriot," Rice said at a State Department news conference with the foreign ministers of Canada and Mexico. "That said, I am going back to Stanford, back to California, west of the Mississippi. I very much look forward to watching this campaign and voting as a voter."
