Picking Condaliar Rice would only prove how shallow and desperate the rethugs are [View all]

If Rmoney thinks that picking Rice will help him with black and women voters, it just shows the GOP has learned absolutely nothing from the Palin fiasco four years ago. It represents extremely shallow thinking, and illustrates how out of touch they really are. Do they really think that African Americans would vote rethug simply because they have a black VP candidate? Do they really think women will change their minds and vote rethug because the VP is "one of them"?

Not only that - but evangelicals and fundie types are already hesitant to support a candidate they don't believe is a true Christian. Picking a VP candidate who is pro-choice would absolutely make their heads explode. They aren't going to vote for Obama, but they would be much less likely to support the GOP. They would either vote 3rd party or stay home.

And let's not forget - she is a WAR CRIMINAL - part of the Bush cabal who orchestrated the illegal invasion and occupation of a sovereign nation based upon nothing but lies. She has blood on her hands, every bit as much as Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc.
