Would you vote for Condi Rice if she was the only female/black candidate
for president?

I started to ask this of only ladies and blacks but any liberal would think about it. I decided I wouldn't because she's been a lapdog to the most extreme Repuke of the century so it would be too much of a risk.

1. You're kidding right?
I wouldn't vote for that murderess for dog catcher.

I would like to be a member of the jury at her trial for treason, tho.

2. Not "no" but "HELL, NO!!!!"
She is not representative of either her gender or her race.

7. Nope...
And I wouldn't have voted to confirm Clarence Thomas or Gonzales either. Judge them by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin, as ML King put it and the Repukes love to honor in the breach.

10. why would I?
I don't care about her race or gender. I do care about her competence and honesty, or lack thereof.

If anyone answers yes to this question, I humbly suggest they are at the wrong message board.

18. well, i'll take my cue from MLK
Now what did he say again?

to paraphrase, we should work for the day when people are judged for the CONTENT of thier CHARACTER and NOT the COLOR of thier SKIN.

Black, White or Green, Rice's charector has been found sorely lacking.

And I simply cannot accept that she would be the Best Black womenhood had to offer. Anymore then Gonzales is the best Hispanics can do.

19. WTF does female or black have to do with it
When you still have to label people by skin or gender and not by ideas and actions then you are no better than a red state "Moran".

She has chosen to align herself with nutbags and has theories of diplomacy that make me want to start digging a fallout shelter in the back yard.

So to answer the Question, it's HELL NO

I haven't settled on a demeaning nickname for her, but she certainly has an inanimate quality, freckles, etc. (And she's an evil murderer who won't go away.)

44. So, I'm supposed to vote for someone just because they are
are a female (majority) and black (minority)?

If anything being both a majority and a minority cancel each other out and just leaves her political beliefs, which I cannot stand.

In other words, window dressing does not impress me.

No I would not vote for her in a million years.

If they run Condi versus Hillary, screw the race. I'm tired of playing games, and that would be a game staged by the elites.

45. NO
Bush's inclusion of blacks in his administration does nothing to support the cause of African Americans. There have always been blacks (called Uncle Toms) that support the "master". Having Rice and Powell in his administration is a cruel hoax and doesn't really count as a victory for the minority.

Why would I vote for someone who is complicit in promoting racism, classism, and sexism?

I do not vote for Repukes, ever!

BTW, you may want to consider using women rather than "ladies." ;)Just a friendly tip. :D

58. She is a big part of why 9/11 happened
and she has lied repeatedly to anyone and everyone about every aspect of administration activities, from the 9/11 Commission to the investigations about prewar WMD intel.

And she is an arrogant bitch.

But, if she runs, she will be our next President.

The first female or minority President will be Republican. It's because of how each party's base is laid out, and to whom they must appeal.

For Democrats to win, we have to not only get our base to vote for us, but we then have to reach out to the idiots, the dittoheads, the sexists, and the racists.

Meanwhile, these very people vote Republican anyway, even if the candidate is a minority or female. And, for Republicans to win all they have to do is pretend to be progressive (which is usually just a massive lie, like every other aspect of their campaigns).
