A McCain / Rice Ticket?

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is actively courting the vice presidential nomination, according to Republican strategists.
ABC News in the U.S. reported that Republican strategist Dan Senor said Ms Rice had been actively campaigning for the vice presidency.
Mr Senor was reported as saying on the This Week with George Stephanopoulos program that she "has been cozying up to the Republican elite".
"There's this ritual in Washington: The Americans for Tax Reform . . . holds a weekly meeting of conservative leaders - about 100, 150 people," Mr Senor told the program. "They all typically get briefings from political conservative leaders.
"Ten days ago, they had an interesting visit - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice - the first time a secretary of state has visited the Wednesday meeting."
Mr Senor said Ms Rice's history in public office would make her a prime candidate.
It's a great ad for Democrats: "9/11 and the clusterf#@k in Iraq happened under my watch and now you should make me one very old heartbeat away from being president!" It's interesting, it has parallel overtones to the story that John McCain actively sought the vice presidency with John Kerry. And it certainly will offset the conventional wisdom that John McCain (and the GOP in general) is lacking diversity. But RawStory says "not so fast..."

ok kewl, this will be like taking candy from a baby. All we have to do is ask"What exactly has she accomplished?"
nuthin, absolutely nuthin, say it again.
This would be a Dream ticket.
For the Democrats.
"I think it was called "Bin Laden determined to strike inside the US"."
BRING IT ON!!
Our MasterbatingSelfMedia will just tune out to issues and turn this into a skin colour race...
i.e. If Barack (black man) puts Hillary (white woman) on the ticket vs. a white due and black woman.
There goes any actual coverage of issues.
This would be fantastic. I'd love to see Rice team up with McCain... Larry Craig would be better, of course, but I'll take Rice.
If McCain becomes president he can send Rice down to Memphis each year for MLK Day...
It's probably a good thing Barack isn't Mongolian. The Repugnant Ones would have to go searching for a Mongolian woman to give balance to their old white guy.
Cheeeerist - can they be any more transparent?
"At least she don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, the c***."

The RRR will never accept her, unless she marries right away and proves her heterosexuality.
Dan Senor was bremer's chief aide in iraq; there's a guy with real credibility when it comes to identifying who can get things done.
Condi as running mate?
Ohpleaseohpleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!
Please do this.
This has got to be a joke. She'd be ripped to shreds.

National Security Adviser - September 11, 2001.
Yes, Senator McCain! Please choose Condie! I think it would be awesome to really tie yourself up even further in Bush's failed policies by hiring one of the movers and shakers in his administration and the failed Iraq war. Yes, be the maverick and show that you are McSame!

This isn't so much about getting her on the republican ticket as it is getting Hillary a consolation prize of Veep. Then shes one bullet away from the Presidency, and a neocon wet dream...Hillary having certain failure at cleanuing up Bush and Cheney's fiasco. How else are they going to rebuild the base?
I guess wanting to be on the Republican ticket means you have to bow down before Grover Norquist and kiss his ring. That'll weed out all but the most miserable brown-nosers - like Condi and Mitt.
Next, she would be making slip ups about McCain being her husband.
Two warmongers on the GOP ticket! Rice could drool about "regime change" for months just like she did in the run up of lies before the illegal invasion of Iraq. McWarmonger and RegimeChanger Rice, spreading freedom and "democracy" at gunpoint! Vote GOP in '08 and the world will just love America more than ever!
Rice is a war criminal along with the rest of the Dumbya Regime, a perfect candidate for the GOP.
The only reason she could be considered is because she is a woman and she is black. This could give them the (empty) image of republican diversity. At the same time it links McCain closer to the Bush administration. I don't see this would do McCain any good. What voters would they win with diversity? The only way they can win is by scare tactics, sure can't run on results.
"It’s a great ad for Democrats: “9/11 and the clusterf#@k in Iraq happened under my watch and now you should make me one very old heartbeat away from being president!”
I couldn't agree more! This would be like manna from heaven!
This would scare the shit out of the dems, a black woman who has national security credentials, unlike the black man who does not....
Brad @ 10:
Tying himself up in Bushies failures seem to be winning him voters at the polls. You people should really, really, be careful what you wish for. Bushies government screwed up everything it touched, and still was re-elected with some 51 million Americuns voting for him. With the economy, the Iraqi fiasco, and every piece of legislation this government has implemented, the current Repuke McCain is STILL considered pretty much even odds to become Presidunce. Either Americans have extremely short attention spans, or voters are the dumbest sumbitches the world has ever known. This should be a landslide, even in the polls right now. Is it?
It'll never happen. Do you think for a second that the Republicans don't intend to run against THE BLACK MAN? It's what they always fall back on. How will McCain do that with THE BLACK WOMAN chained to his bus?
If Rice runs and somehow mcCain wins. I say the old coot dies befor Valentines day 2009.
chris @ 19:
I know better,but I'm going to ask anyway. Tell me chris, what exactly has she accomplished? name one thing that she has succeeded in doing? just one.
What...Jeb bush not available?
mudshark @ 23:
She's got a great shoe collection!
ConcernedCanuck @ 25:
LOL, thanks, I needed that.
Do repugs really think that blacks or women will vote for McGrampa if he picks Rice?
I'm sure that blacks and women know that she is a corrupt war criminal.
Please pick Rice, McGramps.
General Election McCain-Obama McCain-Clinton
National Obama +0.8 McCain +2.2
Pretty damn close. Add in a Condom-minimum, and McCain gets both the senile Hillary supporters AND the black supporters. Final score? Rethug Whitehouse.
mudshark @ 26:
It's the only thing I've seen her do, except deny, lie, and basically globetrot. Not exactly a stellar resume for a woman that is supposedly so intelligent.
I would love to see an all-Black presidential ticket. Obama/Condi in 08. Such a ticket would be breathtakingly audacious and historic.
ConcernedCanuck @ 28:
Please...oh please...bring back the mafia.
abob @ 30:
I guess to each their own. I'd prefer to see a Jon Stewart/Lewis Black ticket.
ConcernedCanuck @ 28:
never gonna happen CC, not a snowballs chance in hell.So Far 28 mill dems have turned out,and I think the number for repubs was 10 mill.
MyGodBeatsYourGod @ 4:
I agree with this statement except the spelling of Masturbating. And the redundancy of MasturbatingSelf, but the Black/White thing will be the only thing the pundits will speak of.
abob @ 30:
The only time the true power brokers of USA would let that type of an Obamination take place is if the presidency where transformed into a more ceremonious role than it is now. You think you have a puppet democracy now...
mudshark @ 33:
Also remember though that it is just the primaries and not the general election. Polls is polls and as much as they are unreliable all the time, the current numbers are downright scary after Bush. It should not even be anywhere close in percentages. But it is. Unless something really huge happens, and as much as I despise the idea, it is looking like President McForeignPolicy. EEK!
Chris @ 19: Run a black republican with foreign policy experience against Obama? Brilliant, brilliant strategy! I mean it worked so well with Alan Keyes the first time you dumbasses tried it. No wonder you guys can't win a war, balance a budget, find Osama, handle a hurricane, etc., etc.
abob @ 30:
I would just spill over with diversity love, who cares if they are qualified, it would be neat!!
"Ms. Rice, what are your duties as VP?"
"I don't recall, but aren't my shoes to die for?"
Because nothing says 'breaking from the status quo' like a member of the current Cabinet.
If it's an Obama/Clinton ticket, I'd love to see Hillary take her apart in a Veep debate.
abarts @ 39:
"My thigh boots go right up to my testicles. Aren't they priceless?"
Badger @ 41:
Hillary vs Condom in a debate? Good lord. My ears would bleed.
Shouldn't the focus be on the ideas which make one diverse or not? Putting an old-fart warmonger next to a black female warmonger isn't much diversity at all.
ConcernedCanuck @ 36:
with all due respect:). even if the numbers are of by 10 percent.that's still a dem in the WH.
The two whitest people in the country! Is condescending lice counting on black people to support her? I don't see any one outside the hard neo- turds voting for these two faced rats, if they tried to speak the truth it would get caught in their throat and they would keel over dead.
chris @ 19:
Yes Chris, can you name anything she's acccomplished?
mudshark @ 45:
That depends. McCain beats Hillary everywhere according to RealClearPolitics. Scary. The numbers shouldn't even be within 10 percent of each other. And Obama vs McCain would be so close, the Repubs could "steal" it. (Not that THAT would ever happen.......again)
god, i hope he picks her
and i hope that the msm gets off their butts and finally starts asking her the tuff questions that she wont be able to get around
John McLame's ideal running mate? A heart specialist.
Ron @ 47:
Help route the Taliban in Afgan through wise National Security Advice, taking the fight to AQ in Iraq, should I go on?...
Ron @ 47:
yeah chris, I'm still waiting for you to answer that question.
I got the campaign slogan!!!
"Senile and Stupid on the StraightJacket Express!" .....even if we remember, we don't grasp it!
chris @ 51:
hopelessly hoping
Rice to be McCain's Vice President? Not so fast
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/McCain_calls_Rice_role_model_wont_0407.html
chris @ 19:
good one chris
of course, she has fucked up in every bit of national security
chris @ 51:
No insult intended, but do you do heavy drugs or just enjoy trolling?
ConcernedCanuck @ 56:
I enjoy educating libs, although it can be tiring....
chris @ 51:
ummmm, in case you haven't noticed, thats been a FAILURE . ok I'm done with you, Buh Bye!
chris @ 57:
Don't think you'd really know what a "lib" is if one bit you on the buttocks. Everything you posted above is pure unadulterated BS, and only someone heavily medicated, trolling, or too young to know anything, would parrot talking points from obvious failures.
chris @ 51:
Gee I didn't know she had a military background. Was she a private or a sargeant?
Ron @ 47:
Regime change in Iraq, that is quite an accomplishment! My rose colored glasses are getting a bit foggy though.
There goes South Carolina.
Vic @ 61:
Yeah, that sure turned out nice. We were greeted with IEDs. What hind of flower or candies are those.
Ron @ 60:
Private First Class Jackass, a rank reserved for neocon scum.
and will condi be shopping for shoes or attending a concert
when we have our next national emergency?
let her finish her political career when bush leaves office.
she lies and at best maybe uses summer's eve......
Vic @ 64:
Gee, I thought they just used dogs. What do they use the jackasses for? Don't they use trucks to move equipment?
chris @ 19:
Combine this with chris' comment @43 on this thread, where he says:
One thing you should know about McCain, he is a believes in limited government, low taxes and a strong Military. and THAT scares liberals……,
I am beginning to think that chris considers the ability to jump from behind a tree while shouting, "Boo!" the most important leadership trait that a Republican can demonstrate.
McCain/Rice: the PENIS/PIANIST ticket.
And Charles Manson as Secretary of HUD
ConcernedCanuck @ 20:
I agree. This would not be good new for dems. All those folks out there who would never vote for a black man, could ease their conscious by voting for that ticket.
dadams @ 65:
She must be good at SOMETHING. She just kept right on getting promoted, even though it was obvious to all that she had no f'ing clue what she was doing.
Andy K Jong Il @ 67:
yeah, the only thing is chris sucks at it.
Ron @ 66:
What do they use the jackasses for?.........breeding more neocon scum
Dementia and Mania- what a ticket.
BTW, chris, what does "he is a believes" mean, exactly?
Jesus.
The most incompetent National Security adviser and SOS in history, a supposed "expert" on the Soviet Union who fucking missed the fact that it was crumbling before her eyes.
Just what the old coot needs on his ticket.
Andy K Jong Il @ 75:
teh.
mudshark @ 1:
Sure,nuthin,but the best excuses for an incompetent,corrupt bunch of lying thieves:"No one could have preDICKted terrorists flying airplanes into the towers." Uh,tell them that no one could have preDICKted that the levees would breach. Excuse me,Mr. pResident.
I`d like to try on just a couple of more pairs of $1000+ shoes, if you don`t mind. Then I`ll get with Chertoff and Brownie."....
I might even bet the Dems will win if McCrank chooses her.Politics is an amazing subject,almost as amazing as journalism.
Badger @ 41:
We could judge who could come up with the biggest lie. They have both told whoppers.
r @ 68:
That would be an improvement.
Vic @ 73:
What's her stage name? I might have seen her in Tijuana.
Hate Freedom Fries @ 69:
Sorry Wrong box.
This would be an improvement.
sully18 @ 78:
1st question, "Did you or did you not read the PDB dated aug 6th 2001?
Dream Ticket for sure. "Incontinent and Incompetent. Vote Republican in '08"
BennyP @ 74:
Dementia, what a wonderfull movie for my young redheaded girl and me on a romantic friday nite.
The American ship of state is like a gigantic oil tanker. Changing course is a lot easier said than done; and it happens slowly. By its very design, our govt does not allow any President to make drastic changes during his term of office. Change requires massive cooperation from both sides of the political aisle. There are a myriad of legislative steps, political palms to grease, and bureaucratic hurdles that must be jumped before any President's agenda can see the light of day. Our country is in safe hands with Hillary, Obama or McCain. Our sophisticated system severely limits the amount of damage any of them can do. For the first time in history: lets give the black guy a chance to be the pilot.
mudshark @ 77:
ROFLMFAO!!!!
But I think I can go one up:
teh morans.
HEY chris!
Straight Talk Express meets Credibility Gap...yep sounds like a fine ticket.
r @ 68:
HAHAHAHA!!!!
Of all the reasons not to vote for Rice, her being a lesbian is not on the list, and being a closet-case is pretty low.
And Chris, "I believe it was called, 'Bin Laden determined to strike inside the United States..."
Oh, and check out those shoes; they're to die for...
Andy K Jong Il @ 87:
This is where Chris comes to mix it up with the adults. Mom lets him play for a few hours a day.
chris @ 51:
Sure Chris go on....back to the sanitarium with that dumber than fuck answer. I feel sorry for your parents.
I don't give a damn about Condi's sexual orientation (the article seemed pointless for me, a liberal; only a republican obsesses about homosexuality, but I digress), what really pisses me off is the fact that this Repugnant Republicans think that they are clever by putting Rice on the ticket. They think they will nail the African American and women's votes in the November. I just hope they do. Beating Guliani dressed as a drag queen would be harder.
chris @ 51:
AQ in Iraq - bing! you're wrong.
Routing the Taliban in Afghanistan - bing! you're wrong again. well done 100% score so far.
It sure would be good to know how these war criminals are going with their distribution of Afghanistan's biggest crop; opium. They must be doing a roaring trade.
oh please!... no really, PLEASE.
diamondmc @ 91:
I really wish she'd get rid of the Net Nanny. Think of all the time he could be spending watching porn instead of posting here.
Andy K Jong Il @ 96:
You crack me up Andy...
Old Billy Hussein @ 90:
thanks Old Billy, I bookmarked that page. I still have the Time mags from that, still sitting on the dashboard of my work van. Just in case anyone wants to talk trash.
PLEASE let those fools run Condi. Many Republicans might not vote for a black man for President but almost none will vote for a black woman to run with an old man. plus many suspect she, favors the sugar & spice as it were.
if the trial isn't wrapped up by november, maybe condi's judge at the hague will let her videotape campaign messages from her holding cell.
she is innocent until proven guilty, after all.
The only thing I could image would be better for the Democrats would be McCain/Typhoid Mary
diamondmc @ 97:
Thanks, I'll be here all week. Two shows on sunday, the matinee is at five. Don't forget to tip your wait-staff and bartenders! Drive safe! You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here! Goodnight everyone!
titmouse @ 99:
I think you're wrong about the "Color" issue.as a matter of fact I say fuckem. What is at issue is her politics. Lets leave it at that.anyone who wants to make race an issue is fucked up in the head.period.
excuse me while i go burn one.
I have the campaign bumper sticker in mind already:
McCain/Rice 2008: Because we don't want the threat to be from a mushroom cloud.
It's like being offered a shit sandwich.
C'mon. I don't want this woman a heartbeat away from the Presidency. You think Bush was a do nothing President? Wait until you see Condi As President.
Campaign slogan:
McCain/Rice 2008: "Because he was such a good flyer and she was such a good National Security Advisor"
ROFLMAO That would be so great! Talk about ensuring McCain's defeat in November! Bring that gap-toothed horseface on.
BaScOmBe whose saying “NO REPUGS” @ 105:
And that ain't RICE squirming in that SHIT.
Will he call her a c*** if they have a disagreement?
[Edited. We're trying to watch the language, drshatterhand. We've been getting many complaints. If you edit yourself, you at least acknowledge that it's a hateful word. See the original post in the "Temper Temper" thread for an example. Site Monitor]
McCrazy and Rice would be a problem for dems. There are to many middle of the road voters , that would see this ticket as a way to say they weren't racists, but could vote for a mixed ticket.
titmouse @ 99:
[Deleted, Off Topic, lets get back on topic ,Site Monitor]
Ain't gonna happen.
They are depending on the anti black vote.
diamondmc @ 110:
~snicker~ Are you kidding me? The only problem for the Democrats would be deciding which angle to attack them from first. Horseface Rice has about as much clout, respect and popularity as Junior, who is about as popular as Satan in Bethlehem.
Career political failure Dr. Rice would represent the Republican party's last ditch effort to pacify us coloreds and progressives . The Repubs are so deeply rooted in chronic racism, that they believe everyone also has a racist soul....just like them. "Just put a black face out there and the negroes will be happy". This is how stupid these backwards mother fuckers are( ex. Alan Keyes, Clarence Thomas). Any black person the Republican party pushes on the national scene will probably have immediate zero credibility in most black communities.
Won't happen. Can't afford to alienate Bubba NasKKKar KKKristian, who's tenuous with MkKKain at best anyway.
mccain's easy to beat. just keep getting him pissed off in public. doesn't take much, i'm told.
his handlers will counter by doping him up like a research monkey; then you go for the knockout punch.
any questions?!
Does her husband, errr....I mean the pResident know about this?
~
cough, cough~ I mean, uh, no! Please don't make a McCain / Rice ticket! We are so afraid of that. That would be an unbeatable ticket. ~snicker, chortle~
[lol]
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ....yes please.
This nation is sorely lacking in seriousness. The sillier the better, particularly in politcs. Every time I think there is nowhere to go but up, I am confronted by this horrifying scenario. Can Jeb Bush be far behind? I fear not.
First of all, its Dr Rice, not Ms Rice...actually, its Scty Rice...but none of that it important, ultimately...
Let me get this straight...Condie Rice has had an active role in the Bush administration and thats why she should be mccains running mate? Isnt there some comparision to Sen. Clinton having an active role in the Clinton administration? are you telling me that the same reason why clinton SHOULDNT run for president is the exact same friggin reason rice SHOULD run for vp?
on the other hand, this IS neo-con logic, so i guess go nuts :-\
A gap-toothed , proven incompetent , is the best a useless , senile old douchebag can do for a VP choice ?
The GOP : a ticket for has-beens and never-will-bes .............
David Hill @ 122:
Actually, I don't think we should go nuts about what you wrote. I think it's rather cute, in a disturbed, grossly ignorant way.
Last weekend, far-right lesbian radio host Tammy Bruce said Rice would never accept a VP nod because "her personal life would never stand up to the scrutiny." Gee, I wonder why lesbian Tammy Bruce would say that?
Maybe Rice would run on her credentials as being the National Security Advisor on 9/11.
1984 @ 55:
Would anyone be surprised if Condi went for a quickie wedding to an eligible conservative black male? Just to put all the rumours to rest?
Annoyed Canuck @ 126:
Dude... I don't care WHO she would be with... I DON'T WANNA THINK ABOUT IT!
hood @ 93:
I don't care either. But plenty will. Lifestyle issues for appointees are one thing, they're raw meat for the pack in an election. I think Condi knows better than to take the assured beating.
Condiliesalot is going to draw the "shoe shopper" crowd vote ; as well as the "incompetent worker" vote ............
Bush Is A Yankee @ 114:
Very true if your talking about progressives and leftwing dems. But there are alot of ray-gun dems who will jump at that ticket, and be able to say they aren't racists.
If Americans are that stupid again to elect those two, they deserve what they get!
Vice President Rice?
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!
One stop shopping!!! Why vote for Clinton or Obama when you can vote for the McCain/Rice ticket and get an old white man, an african-american and a woman all in one fell swoop? That way we can look like we're growing up and make sure we keep an old white guy in power.
Annoyed Canuck @ 126:
Mike Tyson?
chris @ 19:
This would scare the shit out of the dems, a black woman who has national security credentials, unlike the black man who does not….
I know better,but I’m going to ask anyway. Tell me chris, what exactly has she accomplished? name one thing that she has succeeded in doing? just one.
You ask what she has accomplished well for one she has had an Exxon tanker named for her and coming off the Bush/Cheney Administration. What more can you ask for???
Blue Mark @ 8:
Maybe she could marry Cheney, who probably has not seen his pecker in years.
Bush Is A Yankee @ 114:
Unfortunately Dimson's approval ratings still hover in the low 30s. Which sounds low, until you figure out that it means that out of every 3 Americans, 1 thinks he is doing a great job. I.e. assume that you are in a group with 2 other friends, the distribution would mean that there is a possibility that 1 of your friends is a Bush supporter.
The asshole still has traction... and that is what pisses the f*ck out of me.
mudshark @ 1:
She's bought a lot of shoes and made a clerk feel really really small and then there's the world view
She says she doesn't want the job, but the conservatives think shes very qualified and will bring in minority voters. Hmmm... if the qualifications are being completely incompetent, kissing George Bush's ass shamelessly, and being a minority,,, how about Alberto Gonzalez?
Two historics in one- Afro-American and female. I don't however believe that she is human. She is like a robot who likes shoes and clearly has no idea what she is doing. She reminds me of the bad seed.
Here's her theme song...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0f2dHJ6A18
Condi Rice, huh? More proof of the dysfunctional Republican work ethic---f---k up and move up.
Grumpy/Dopey '08
Condi's been my bet for quite a while. What other neocon is there? I believe with Condi, you get some Chevron oil influence.
mcbush ought to hold out until he sees whether or not tweety wants the job. Wait, william the bloody would be a shoe in...or maybe bor? ...vannity? Yeah, get one of those flaming turds to join the ticket.
This is almost too funny to consider, except the repugs have a way of stealing things away. Who would ever have thought the baboon's ass would get a second term...even if he was pitted against our wet dish towel, Kerry?
rice has done nothing..but buy shoes since she got on the cabinet. I honestly think she and sen graham would be the better ticket. "two old maids" running the country. Wow..now there's a ticket. Maybe mcbush will overheat in a debate, and they'll need to get him a replacement??
Condi is the only member of Bushco who could end up on the ticket and keep their agenda alive. So my bet is they push her onto the ticket and because she's nakedly ambitious, she accepts. It gives Barack a run for his money. If he's smart, he'll nominate someone with real credibility on national security for Veep. Not Hillary.
We have not been attacked in what, 7 years, thanks Condi :)
Ick.
Chis, you've been an idiot for 7 too, but I can't credit her for that either.
chris @ 147:
Maybe because they haven't had to, what with the Bush misadministration doing their work for them?
