Condi Rice Blasts Obama on Weakness, Leadership

iguanaman said:
So we should judge her as a private citizen who has never held elected office? Why bother?

Eisenhower never held elected office until he became President and Barrack Obama was useless as a Senator. Leadership and management skills count for a great deal, and BHO was elected with neither..

That may be the correct answer for you, based on your own personal views. I see her as someone worth listening to, and if she decides to run in 2016, will certainly give her consideration.

No, I base my judgment on her poor past performance. It was another poster who proclaimed that unfair. To me she was nothing more than a mouthpiece for the lie of the day back when she had a job that meant something.

Who are you quoting here? Nobody, correct? Leftists continue to repeatedly make my point for me.

Who demonized Blacks? And can you quote what O'Reilly actually said on the subject?
Click to expand...

I am paraphrasing the gist of what they are saying when they use words like "welfare queen", etc. When they do that, they are in essence demonizing blacks.

I posted the O'Reilly quote at 254. Here it is again

“The white establishment is now the minority,” he added. “The voters, many of them, feel this economic system is stacked against them and they want stuff. You’re gonna see a tremendous Hispanic vote for President Obama. Overwhelming black vote for President Obama. And women will probably break President Obama’s way. People feel that they are entitled to things — and which candidate, between the two, is going to give them things?”

But Condolezza Rice is my girl. Dang, I have had dreams about her. Seriously. Don't know why I find her attractive. Wish I could have tapped that!
Ariel Sharon was right. She has nice legs!!!

Maybe I like her because she's black, smart and plays the piano. lol

Allegedly, Gaddafi had the raging thigh sweats for Condi Rice.

In regards to his state constituents, Cassidy called them everything down to and including illiterate.
Their "jungle" primary is like yours, only it happens on election day, with a run-off in December.
Yours is before the election, and then repeats on election day.

And add in a very unpopular Jindal, who is also not taking the Medicaid, unlike your neighbor in Nevada, Sandoval who is.
Dem Braley in Iowa had an Akin moment, so the two parties are even with screw-ups.
And Nate Silver has it 49-51 at a 60% chance for Repubs.
But he was wrong on the "Senate" in 2012.
And Silver is side-tracked with his feud with Krugman and starting his new 538 under the auspices of E$PN .

No, he wasn't.

I know that. It was messed up that Katie Couric did that. But if she was a real president, she should have taken off the gloves and gone on the attack. Instead she just started responding with incoherent nonsense. No, such a person should not be president.

Why? I don't think "what do you read" is a particularly hard question.
 
Grant said:
Is America 'sides' to you? Citizens should elect who would be the best leader for the entire country, not just for their 'side'. The better candidate in the last election lost, and so did the country, but the left will still look at it as a team sport. That's why their intelligence is open to question.
Click to expand...

The idea that Republicans/conservatives don't see politics as a partisan team sport is utterly asinine on an almost metaphysical level.

Grant said:
Of course you cannot explain this "crap" and feel Barrack Obama would get the country out of debt, get everyone working again, have an open government, restore American pride internationally, stop lobbyists from running amok in Washington, and so on. That's the crap you can live with, huh?

Every time a leftist objects to these characterization of not being very bright they always end up proving the point against them.
Click to expand...

If you think Mitt Romney would have eliminated debt, brought us to full employment, killed the lobbying industry and "restore American pride internationally" (whatever the **** THAT platitude means), then I have a bridge with your name ALL OVER IT, pal.

This is just more garden-variety sore loser nonsense.

You're unsure how quotes work and how to respond to them, right? I think it's time you went to the mods and learned the basics.

Why has Silver not disagreed with the DCCC spokesman? Aside, we have two new Akin moments, one by the IA Dem and the other by the LA Repub .
 
Grant said:
Did you actually hear Obama's response? Check the sequester will not happen, the lie that it was not his idea, that the military would not be cut, that veterans would be looked after, etc. These are lies, provable lies, and the leftists continue to prove my point for me.
Click to expand...

From what I can tell, you are right, Obama was wrong on the sequester point. But it appears that no one really thought it was going to happen and at the point there were not the cuts that have been recently purposed. So you have one lie there. He's a politician, they do that type of thing. That's what's repulsive about politicians, as a group.
 
Grant said:
Oh you are "paraphrasing"? How can anyone deal with someone who paraphrases?
Here's the entire quote. And where did he go wrong?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZZt3jPDvNQ

The point is that it's the truth because Republicans deliberately targeted white voters by appealing to the racist sentiments of some of them. Otherwise, there would be no need to worry about a dwindling white majority.

Oh, please. Not the "all politicians lie" excuse. If that remains the usual response then they will continue lying, just as Obama is doing. Whether no one thought sequester was going to happen is beside the point. He still lied and, of course, the media kept silent. You also give him slack for the cuts he recently made to the military. He was President for four years and didn't see that coming? That really isn't a sign of approval.

There is no accomplishment we can point to in Obama's five years in office apart from lying his way through two elections, Can you think of any Obama success?

Why would Republicans deliberately target White voters when they know it would be a losing proposition? Do you have any evidence at all to support this wild claim?

I guarantee you the Left would be scared of Condi. They would pull a Palin attack on steroids if she decided to run. What they did to Palin would look like nothing.

The left would shriek like witches doused with water.

Its tragic how the left treats minorities or women who dare stray from liberal dogma.

Oh yes, it's an old leftist trick to accuse others of what you are doing yourself. This played well with the less informed voters during their 'War on Women' campaign.

You can see that there is still a new thread on Sarah Palin running and a debate on an interview she did several years ago. These people are relentless against women who dare question their orthodoxy, but are fine with things like Sharia Law..

What I don't get is the beef about the sequester from the right. It's not like the House couldn't pass a bill eliminating it that Obama would sign in a heartbeat. So who is REALLY responsible for the sequester taking effect? The same people beefing about it, that's who.
