Please take her face off the front page
it's enough to gag a maggot. I think I won't be visiting the site until tomorrow so I don't throw up on my keyboard.

ROFLMAO.
This writer works for Comedy Central, Right?
Wait, I have to get off the floor again. Sorry, there I go again......
Condi for President?
Did you forget the punchline?
President of what...
the PTA (opps sorry, my bad)
the Federal Whistle Blowers (opps sorry she don't qualify)
Persons of Color Who Sold All Their Integrity to Lick the Bush Boot (OK now we're getting somewhere, and at least Colin will have some company).
Thanks for the laugh!

Katrina was a great time for designer shoe shopping in NY
The only reason that anyone beyond Bush loyalist have any positive associations with Condi is that the media has largely ignored all of her failings. If Condi were to run even as as Vice President, that ignornance would not last long. Remember you remarks before the 9/11 Commission: on whether she has any advance warning of the attach "I believe the title was, "Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States" and on why the ball was dropped on pursing the Cole attachers, not wanting to go "tit-for-tat". But the one event that frames her and all she stands for is Katrina. She could have stepped up to the leadership plate, but Condi, the highest placed black American in the Bush adminstration choose to turn her back on poor Black American victims and go shopping for designer shoes, play tennis and see "Spam A Lot" and that my friends is why Condi will win no national elected office.

Condy for Pres?
What next? She is qualified. She can lie.

sheesh..
..one thing's for sure. Digital communication has put a real spotlight on the sheer number of loony weirdos here in our United States. Used to be these people couldn't get publicity. Now that's all they get.
I dunno about the rest of you...but don't you find it disturbing that something like 40% of the adult voting population of this country is deeply deluded about a number of extremely important issues? It sure as hell disturbs me.
These guys could elect Pol Pot President and be sure they did the right thing. That's how it disturbs me.
The fact that Bush was re-elected in 2004, after all that was clearly known about him and his people, tells me everything I need to know. This country is FILLED with whack-jobs. Scary.

Condi doesn't need to be elected
According to the rules of succession she only needs to be confirmed by a simple majority in the House and Senate. For that to happen Bush needs to fire Cheney, and hire Condi. I mean that's not what the Founding Fathers had in mind, they thought the VP was a separate office. Recall that until recently the Republicans didn't have to announce the name of the VP until after their primary.
If the Congress balks at appointing Condi, then Bush takes it to SCOTUS for a rubberstamping. She serves out his term, after he artfully resigns, the election is called off because of a major terrorist event, and you're looking at that face for six years, easily.
Americans don't want to believe it, but the next President will probably be worse than Bush.

She's just a hand puppet
. . . like everyone else who is left in the Bush Admin. They all just do what they are told by Cheney or Rove. If they don't, they're out. Her activities recently (Middle East, Russia) are just window dressing. When anything truely substantive in foreign policy must be done, Cheney goes. So, since she has no professional integrity, I don't think she would make a very good president. About the only thing you can say for her is that she does not "lack the glib and oily art."

Stand and spred American good will
Madam Secretary,
Your job gives you an opportunity to assert your leadership. People all over the world look to you and America for guidance. Regardless of nationality, religion, wealth or resources, people everywhere admire America's success, our standard of living and the many opportunities for our citizens.
The Iraq war is not going well. The desert Arab civilization is very different than our own. People decending from their history and now living under desert Arab traditions do not have (or want) the values of modern society. It will take decades or even centuries of slow progressive education to bring these folks forward. The war in Iraq will not help in that regard. The desert arabs, with their tribal loyalties, illiterate majority, hateful religion (Islam), and wide spred poverty will not allow any democratic government to be imposed on them from the outside. It just isn't going to happen.
Ms Rice, the original purpose was to effect a regime change in Iraq. We accomplished that. The secondary purpose, argueably, was to secure the population long enough for them to establish an operating government. We have not accomplished that.
Instead, the Iraqi population has resisted all attempts to contribute to keeping the peace. They have persisted with inter-tribal conflicts, radical Islamic terrorism, and their ancient habits of stealing, lying and cheating. Their history has provided no guideposts to the future, and they, as a society, remain hundreds of years behind the modern world.
The entire middle east is a complicated international problem. President Bush is correct. The danger it poses to America and elsewhere needs to be contained.
(1) The Palestinians must obtain a land with borders and a government that can control and direct their citizens.
(2) Iran may or may not obtain nuclear capability. The point is that they must be constrained by the International community not to use it to expand their power over other nations.
(3)As long as vicious anti-Semitism remains prominant in the desert Arab world, Israel must be protected by all humane societies.
You, Ms. Rice, can influence all of these things - but - for some reason you have been rather silent? President Bush needs your support. Where is it? His policies are based upon good intentions, but they need to be revised by some of the pragmatic concerns outlined above. It's time to step to the plate. Give powerful speeches. Write solid proposals for helping the desert Arab community learn the ethics, morals, principles and values of the modern world.
Thank you.
Dixon Webb
