In the past perhaps, but it seems the veep's are getting more chances to debate/campaign.


Regardless, I would still fear for her safety. A black woman running for such a high office who happens to be intelligent, articulate and devoted to her causes is a threat and real target for some nutjobs out there.


Of course, God will place the people in power He chooses to fulfill His will.
I just can't wait until she gets the "she doesn't really represent the black community because she's a Republican" rigamarole from Revrund Sharpton.

I think the term you are looking for is "Uncle Tom". Its reserved for anyone who doesn't toe the NAACP line.

There was that one but wasn't he also called the "house (N word)" by someone?

I've said for years that I'd love to see Secretary Rice run for president/vice president. She's probably smarter than the rest of the presidential candidates combined - certainly has a better understanding of international politics than the rest of them.

That said - do I think she'll ever run - sadly no. She entered national politics at the request of her good friend, President Bush. When he's done, I think she'll be done.

This is how I expressed my thoughts on a thread at another messageboard discussing this issue......

I know doing a write in will pretty well guarantee a democrat White House. However, I am at the point where I can no longer stomach choosing the lesser of two evils, as someone else pointed out sometime in the last couple of weeks, that would still be choosing an evil. Honestly, my conscious just can't hanlde the compromise I would have to make in order to vote McCain just for the sake of voting against another candidate.


I do understand why people will eventually hold their nose and vote McCain, I just don't have it in me anymore. Regardless of the dark road these candidates will take us down, I will continue to stand for what I know and believe is right. In fact, I am thinking it is just another step towards the end of the US and God fulfilling His prophecies regarding the end times.


So, I will vote my conscience, rest in Him, and hang on.

I have researched each and every candidate with a Christian view and the only two candidates with the same Christian views are Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee. However, the only completely honest, christian candidate is Ron Paul. I like Huckabee's ideas but he keeps reminding us that he is a minister but he dropped out....so he's not. And for that reason, I cross him off my list. I am voting for Ron Paul.

Dear Abby:

My husband is a liar and a cheat. He has cheated on me from the
beginning, and, when I confront him, he denies everything. What's worse,
everyone knows that he cheats on me. It is so humiliating.

Also, since he lost his job six years ago, he hasn't even looked for
a new one. All he does all day is smoke cigars, cruise around and
shoot the breeze with his buddies while I have to work to pay the bills.

Since our daughter went away to college he doesn't even pretend to
like me and hints that I may be a lesbian. What should I do?

Signed: Clueless



Dear Clueless:

Grow up and dump him. Good grief, woman. You don't need him anymore!
You're a United States Senator from New York running for President of
the United States. Act like one!
