What's she up to? Any chance of political future?
What are your thoughts? Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Quoted: She was a ass kisser nothing more. Probably penning a book. She just release an autobiography. She's an extremely intelligent and accomplished woman.
|
|
Quoted: Quoted: What are your thoughts? She is Bush's fault. WIN! |
|
Probably running a college somewhere, which is all she ever did before getting appointed to be National Security Advisor and Secretary of State. |
|
Quoted:
I hope not. She is far too liberal for me. Explain. She has stated in the past that is an absolute believer in the Second Amendment, so what views has she expressed that make her "too liberal". Yeah, I know there are other things besides the Second, that's why I ask. |
|
After 8 years of the Washington snake pit I'd be surprised if she ever mentioned politics again.
|
|
I worked at the State Department (as a contractor) while she was there.
She is extremely smart and well-spoken. "Teleprompter" isn't in her vocabulary. She is also tough, a very hard worker, and pushed us a lot harder that Powell did during his tenure. IIRC she is extremely pro-gun; her RINO label is because she's pro-choice, but I don't know how staunchly so. IMO she would be 100 times the president as our current CINC, but she would never run for the office - she's too smart for Washington. |
|
IIRC she wanted to get back to teaching. I remember reading that somewhere. I guess she was tired of the spotlight.

Quoted:
I hope not. She is far too liberal for me. She's more conservative than most liberals, but to liberal for most conservatives. She'd be a whole lot better than what we got now. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijEED_iviTA I suck at embedding, but here goes... Dr. Rice hands a Stanford student his ass on camera. Notice it's all off the cuff and she needs no teleprompter to make her points clearly and concisely. I think she has stated that she will not consider a run for political office. IMHO, too bad. She might not be the perfect candidate but she's better than most. Supreme Qwnage by the good doctor |

I had heard that she wouldn't run for President, and wanted to be commissioner of the NFL.

A bit lib for me and IIRC she kindly shit the bed with some overly sympathetic comments towards the Palistinians, but she's a country mile ahead of any other R candidate out there at the moment. |

She is one of the global elite.
While better than obungo, I wonder just how much so. Kind of like John Bolton, I used to believe, thought either would be good for the US, but they really have some interesting ideas. Don't ask for specifics from me, just look into it for your self, YMMV |

who'd she vote for last presidential election? I don't know. Do you? |

She might not be the perfect candidate but she's better than most. As soon as I saw the thread title, I thought of this video. - Some college student shows up with a video camera convinced that he's going to put Dr Rice in a "gotcha" moment, only to find out that he wasn't dealing with some political lightweight. In less than two minutes, she brought the room to silence as she point-by-point disassembles this young man in a logical, step-by-step manner. All she needed was for someone to come along afterwards and sweep up what was left of this kid when she finished. As noted above, she didn't need a prepared statement or a teleprompter. As also noted in this thread, she's a strong proponent of the 2nd amendment. I'd LOVE to see her in a higher office, but unfortunately, she's not interested. I'd like to put her in a room with Obama, Biden, Hillary, Pelosi and Reid without any prepared statements and let her verbally dissect them one by one. |

Quoted:
who'd she vote for last presidential election? As she was being promoted as Vice Presidential candidate for McCain's ticket, I think it's pretty safe to assume that she voted Republican. |

Can't recall ever hearing her open her mouth and thinking 'WTF?". I recall agreeing with most things she said, when she said them. Very smart and savvy.

Quoted:
A GOP candidates are going up stream because to the mainstream news media, most of the time at best those candidates would only get neutral story, where as the Dems would always get a glowing story. Remember the news media painted Joe Biden as a moderate to the right, conservative; ie before the people got wind of what they were doing, and ooooppps....

who'd she vote for last presidential election? She was on the Hope and Change bandwagon as I recall. |

Quoted:
I had heard that she wouldn't run for President, and wanted to be commissioner of the NFL. LOL Can you blame her? I always liked her. Her story of why she was a Republican was very inspiring. |
|
I like her. Always have.
Be careful what you see in the media. You know how they like to make us look *lol*. She has been conservative a long time. And you know big brother just can't have that. Any black republicans are either made to look like crazy people (Hello Alan Keys) or ones that straddle the fence. She is very smart, very accomplished. She might not be the hope of the Republican party, but she has one thing that a lot of other people don't and that is loyalty. She was loyal to W. without a doubt. |

Source? I would like to see that as well. i thought i remember her actually making the endorsement on CNN, but a quick search hasn't yielded anything other than a few snippetts about her refusing a direct endorsement, and about her tearfull adulation at the election of obama. my apologies. looks like i remembered incorrectly. |

She's smart and accomplished enough for me to put her above party politics. At some point, you should simply just listen and absorb what people on that level have to say, doesn't matter if you agree or not, you will more than likely be enlightened as a result. Writing someone of that stature off because they may have voted for Obama or disagree with you on abortion is the very height of "conscientious stupidity".

At this point we can't depend on anyone who is ultra conservative. I mean who do we have on our side? McCain (who sat next to Kerry at the state of the union), Romney, Huckabee?? I mean there are not very many choices. That being said I doubt Dr. Rice will run. Like Bush she has put politics behind her. And as a conservative woman, I mean you gotta see why she would. Man she took a lot of heat. Remember the drawings etc of her? Not only did she take heat fro being loyal to W. But her race constantly played a part––and that really is quite shitty. |

I don't know if I agree that her day has passed. She would've been totally screwed if she'd run for political office in 2008; there was so much anti-Bush sentiment, there's no way someone so intimately connected to his administration and the war in Iraq would've won anything. While I think she's just too darn smart to run for office, I think she's actually better off as more time goes by and people start looking a little more objectively at Bush's tenure in office.

I'm 100% sure she represented and fought for America during one of it's darkest times, and represented it pretty damn well. I don't care about the rest, she isn't running for anything or asking for my vote, and I don't think you should care either. If that video clip doesn't tell you (almost) everything you need to know about her and the mindset of our leaders back then, then I don't think you get what I'm saying. Sometimes people in power positions have to deal with events as human beings that are so profoundly humbling and deeply terrifying that partisan politics almost seem silly to mention as part of the equation. 9/11 was one of them. That is why the little punk brainiac got his ass handed to him. He tried to bring that shit into his interview, and I think he learned the decision making went way, way beyond all that nonsense. |

Quoted: I hope not. She is far too liberal progressive for me. |

I had the opportunity to hear her speak earlier this month. She is extremely intelligent and well spoken.
HERE is a link with some of her comments. |
