Gerald Ford's Deranged Love Child?

  • Feb. 21st, 2005 at 6:36 AM
WorldNetDaily, known for its highly reputable and unbiased news (snort), is reporting a rumor (ha ha) that Dick Cheney is going to step down next year, and that Bush will name Condoleeza Rice as his next Vice President.

I love this quote: "'We all know that Dick Cheney has been the best vice president of modern times, perhaps in American history'", which, incidentally, they didn't attribute to anyone with a name.
"Being a sitting vice president places Condi in an impregnable position for the GOP nomination in 2008 and sucks every breath of wind from Hillary's sails," says geopolitical expert Jack Wheeler.
I'm sorry, but given a choice between Hillary Clinton and Condoleeza Rice, I really might just move to Canada. Of course, Hillary will win. The last election was 51-49%, and I guarantee that whatever percentage of the Black vote Condi picks up will be more than overshadowed by the Southern Bigot vote that she looses. It's not a racist statement, it's a statement on racism. This country's not going to elect a woman unless it has no other choice, and given the choice between a black woman and a white woman, well, I think we know how that's going to go over.

A campaign between those two would be like watching giant killer robots attacking us.

I don't know, people really hate Hillary. Really hate her. The southern white male might actually elect a black woman over Hillary.

I wouldn't be too sure of that. Yes, people do hate her, but a lot of people love her. She can speak to the South (as a Southerner herself), and she'll have the single greatest campaigner of our time on her arm for her where ever she goes.

She might be the single greatest campaigner all on her own. Bear in mind, love Hillary as I love any strong woman, and I think she would be a great president. But, if it came down to a match between Hillary and Condi whoever won would be a moot point because they would be killed. Our country will not stand to have a woman president because the men in this country are too scared of strong women. We are the laughing stock of teh world because of our fear of female leaders. Which goes to say a lot about us. We are a war-like society, and most countries led by women don't have a lot of military action going down (except for England under Thatcher, but she was only justbarely female). If we elect a female president then there is a chance she will fix problems here at home and not go to war :gasp!:
Ok, now I'm babbling. The cold medicine has kicked in completely.

Screw that. I want to be close enough to a major US city so that when the nuke start dropping, I can get into the blast radius and get reduced to my base elements in a hurry. No waiting around for nuclear winter, a radioactive dust cloud, starvation and cannibalism for me!

Cannibalism I'm ok with, it's the other stuff that sucks.

Well, Happy Monday to you too! What an image to start off another lovely week.

I keep trying to imagine a race between those two..it give a whole new meaning "lesser of two evils".

damn straight.

Of course, I'd have to vote for Hillary. I mean, she's not personally responsible for the worst intelligence failure in US history. That's a pretty big strike to get over.

I would vote for Hillary as well. It's still the lesser of two. I've not been all that impressed with her work in the Senate, but it beats keeping your head in the sand like some other people.
