The political world is abuzz with the potential of a John McCain / Condoleezza Rice presidential ticket. Now while I’ve been calling on Dr. Rice to run for president for years, her very presence aside John McCain would do more to destroy the Democrat Party than any super delegate fiasco on the Denver convention floor.
I remind you that I’m not hoping for Condoleezza Rice to join McCain because she’s black. She is definitely qualified, as she’s served a full term as President Bush’s National Security Advisor, and is nearing the end of an entire term as Secretary of State. She was the first black female to serve at both those historically important positions, despite the fact she was hardly celebrated by the very liberals who are patting themselves on the back for tolerating a Barack Obama presidential bid.
I am hoping John McCain offers Dr. Rice the position (and she accepts) precisely because she’s qualified and black.
Let’s not forget, it is progressives who (on a daily basis) instruct us all on the virtues of tolerance and inclusion when it comes to the treatment of minorities and women. We must all watch what we say and how we act when dealing with blacks especially.
There is no better illustration to this than with the eggshells the left are circumnavigating when dealing with Barack Obama. Some say he’s receiving the kid glove treatment because to go to far would invite the accusations of racism. We all know what happens to anyone who crosses that liberal racism line. You can (and will) be ostracized, you can lose your job, you may even face a lawsuit or two, and you may even need round-the-clock security to protect yourself and your family.
But Condoleezza Rice on the presidential ticket would, no doubt, bring out the best in the Democrats. The “best” being our being privy to witnessing just who liberals really are. Continued...
