Phanerothyme Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Originally posted by StarSparkle The thought that Condolleeza Rice might now be the Republicans choice for President in 2008 just struck me last night. It was a very scary thought - before then I was convinced that Hillary Clinton would have the presidency in the bag. With Condy, as you say, she's got a major fight on her hands. (As things stand at the moment - but I guess 4 years is a very long time in politics!) As a black woman, she may well take a goodly share of the traditional Democrat vote - absolutely inspired thinking by the Republicans if this proves correct. StarSparkle She's a hardcore christian too. If I remember correctly, the term fundamentalist was coined to describe christians like her and Bush. Condoleezza Rice in Essence Magazine "When I'm concerned about something, I figure out a plan of action, and then I give it to God," she told Essence magazine earlier this year. "I just ask to be carried through it. God's never failed me yet." from Harpers an apocalyptic Christian preacher named Jack Van Impe claimed that he had been contacted by Condoleezza Rice, who he said asked him for an outline of what the end of the world will be like Books of Timothy, Revelations anyone?
Snook Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 I really don't think Condoleezza Rice will get on the ticket in 2008. It would be one thing to put a woman up for president (As i think the democrats will get Hilary on the short list next time), but not a black woman... I really don't think that America is ready for that, let alone the republican party.
noseyrosie Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Can anyone tell me a bit about her and why, specifically, she is such a bad choice for a governmental minister?
Yodameister Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Bush wanted her in that job from the start of his presidency. Perhaps he thought putting someone who was a big noise in the oil industry in charge of foreign policy and then invading Afghanistan to enable building an oil pipeline and Iraq to free up a large supply of oil to the US market might be a little bit too obvious even for them.
