Isn't rice a bushhitler puppet?

/channelling the LLL (and yes the lack of capitalization is an intentional sign of their disrespect for both Dr. Rice (PhD) and PRESIDENT Bush.)

#3 Backtracking for Bush who spoke his mind withuot thinking and self censoring for once.

#4 That's because Republicans can't afford to piss off the Latino vote. I'm glad someone had the brains to figure that out.

I have a feeling people ain't gonna like Dr. Rice in 2008, not with that pro-immigration stance. Oh well.

#6 People who want Rice to run on the GOP presidential ticket in 08 are a little too starry-eyed for me. I have no idea what her political positions or skills are. I know that she will toe the presidential line in her role as Secretary of State. That qualifies her to be - Secretary of State. She could help the GOP win the presidency again in 08, just on the strength of her drawing 30% to 40% of the black vote. But what if she turns out to be a liberal on social and economic issues? We could end up with a Hillary Clinton clone on the domestic front. It's exactly like the weird adulation that GOP'ers had for Powell until we discovered what his true policy inclinations were. It's time to stop obsessing over finding a Great Black Hope for the presidential campaign.

We have a lot of quality people with decent track records about to throw their hats into the ring. Rice just isn't one of them. As far as I'm concerned, until I know more about her positions on a lot of issues, preferably after she has served a few terms in an elected office, putting her in the Oval Office is like GWB putting Colin Powell in at State, but far, far more dangerous to conservative causes.
