the heading, I had just taken a big gulp of luke warm coffee. I couldn't open the thread quick enough because I couldn't breathe.

I want you to KNOW the fire and brimstone that was about to be heaped upon your head for making such a proposition ... then I opened it.

I guess I still owe you some fire and brimestone ... but only because I had to wipe off my monitor before I could laugh.

Fri Jul 13, 2012, 04:00 PM

Romney gained among base when NAACP booed him, while pretending Condi is VP contender
reduces criticism from the other side. It's all just a political ploy. Condi is not going to be selected.

Frankly she's the only candidate that might bolster the campaign, even if just a little bit. She's an intelligent woman, and seems to have some decent political instincts. Granted, she has more baggage than an heiress taking a world cruise, but she'd still probably be Mittens' best hope.

I would comment on how sad that is, but... I don't think it's sad at all

That could very well be the case. A wink and a nod to take the edge off of the sting from the NAACP meeting.

I was still down over the elections -- and bush's victory -- but he had the crowd pumping their fists and all. It was great and inspiring. I even signed up at the Socialist Party table.

But don't forget the female vote, because we KNOW how wildly successful that was with Palin.

I figure if the African American vote goes to anyone of color, regardless of their personality or qualifications, then we would have had President Allen West and Herb Cain by now.

I thought you were serious also. I thought, all the dems have to do is show pictures of Condi with Bush and it would be over for the Afro-American voters.

Rice-A-Phony is part of the one percent, part of the inner circle in the bush cabal.

Black people know this.

Remember when Bar Bush _laughed_ at the victims of hurricane Katrina in NOLA? some here may have
forgotten this, black people have not forgotten

That would lock up Allan Keyes, Ron "The Eye" Christie, and Mike Steele.

I don't buy Herman Cain though, I believe he may well be performance art like Colbert. That might be why they are tightish.
