In Sunday’s Parade magazine in The Eagle, did you catch Gov. Kathleen Sebelius among the eight “candidates” to be the first woman president? She was keeping company with Sens. Hillary Clinton, Susan Collins, Kay Bailey Hutchinson and Olympia Snowe, and with Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin. You can “vote” until March 18 at the Web site for the White House Project, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization devoted to seeing more women in high places. Some Kansas Republicans surely saw red at the Parade article, which gave the Democratic governor credit for “significant savings” in government spending and for her role in solving the school-finance showdown “without tax increases.”

That’s cool! :)
I put my vote in for Rice. :)
Sebelius, get real, folks.
Condi Rice: she knows her place.
That’s Joe Williams’ kind of black politician.
CF by you mentioning Black, I can tell you are a racist bigot. It doesn’t surprise me though. Most leftist are.
Clinton, Rice, Sebelius???????
ROTFLMOSFRAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
White, Christian and Proud!!
I’ll vote for my local librarian.

I’ll vote for Bill Oreilly so they can never make gay movies again! Gays and lesbians are a danger to heterosexual America and we can’t have Hollywood turning our heterosexual kids into fags, queers, and Jews!
“Leftist liberal = bigot.” Except, Joe, as I proved beyond a shadow of a doubt, Martin Luther King was a leftist liberal.
BTW, CF has a close relative who is black, you dumb ass . . .
Ahh. You guys are all together. So these communist meetings that you guys have every week, do you guys get convience everybody to post on this blog?
Also! You did NOT prove that King was a leftist. Because it is the truth and absolute fact that he is not.
I dare you to e-mail or even say that to the people who run the King Center don’t reach over and slap your dump ass for even saying so.
ProudLib! You are a nothing! You are a troll here. And you should be treated as such, blog troll.
Condi Rice’s new name… TOBY.
CrusaderX, pretty funny.
Joe Williams,I love it when racist white Wichitans call ME a racist. Project much, Joe Williams?
ProudLib–the real one, not the ersatz troll–is right: I have a mixed race son and an ex-girlfriend who’s black. I’m SUCH a racist. It’s all about having my own private liberal plantation.
As for the political stripe of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I think Joe Williams has really shown that he doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground.
Um, CF, could you tell him the hole in the ground doesnt pucker? Except when rush is on?
ksfarmgrrl,
In the race to the, um, bottom, you’re way out in front.
Condi is doing such a bang up job in the Mid East, and she was one of the first to warn us of the awesome nukes Saddam had. Why shouldn’t she be president. Also, during the sham 9/11 investigation she proved to be even more astute than Bush in evading questions.
With all these possible sebelius presidential or vp prospects, I wonder if we could get “governor leadership” not to run in 06? That way we could really work on a promotion for her in 08! I would be glad to help move her “up and out” of kansas since she seems so hell bent on bigger and better things than being our governor.
Ok kids, raise your hands if you think “less than chatty kathy” will run for higher office before she finishes her last four years as governor leadership. Do you think it is good for our state “leader” to always be focused on something other than the governor’s office?
Can you say “trial balloons”? Where is my pop gun? Let’s bust those trial balloons so she can get back to work on kansas.
steve, indeed.
“We don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud!”
“I believe the memo was entitled, ‘Bin Laden determined to strike inside U.S.”
Cue. Play. Repeat.
Condi for Pres? BRING. IT. ON.
When people post at 2:23 in the AM, you know you’re going to get real pearls of wisDUMB.
Thanks, CrusX, for sounding the troll alarm.
As for Joe W., he owes us all an APOLOGY for his slanderous claims about M. L. King, and instead of just admitting he was wrong like a MAN would do, he makes it worse with belligerant defiance.
I linked to a respected source that showed in addition to King’s constant fight for equality–in itself “leftist”–he held and worked for strong leftist positions, including but not limited to the following:
* using government for affirmative action or reparations
* using governement to pass legislation making job and housing discrimination illegal (this was fought tooth-and-nail by the small gov’t conservatives, btw, on the grounds that it took away employer and landlord “rights”–and it still is fought by conservatives on those grounds)
* using government to pass a minimum wage law
* protesting AGAINST government (surely you’re not claiming THAT is not leftist?) to end the Vietnam War as early as 1965
* using government TO REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH so the poor would have economic freedom as well as political freedom–this last point is the very epitome of leftist liberal.
As for your contention that King wasn’t leftist because he didn’t espouse “government control,” you’re WRONG AGAIN. The entire strategy behind the freedom rides was to deliberately break laws that would involve the federal government in the struggle–buses are interstate travel, interstate travel is a federal concern.
When people were jailed in Southern states for breaking Jim Crow laws on interstate buses, the federal government had to make a ruling.
The plan succeeded, but not before white CONSERVATIVE racists busted heads and killed people.
As for your suggestion that I e-mail the King Center about King’s status as a leftist, that is a damn good idea, perhaps the only one you’ve ever had on this blog. I’ll try to get to it today.
Joe W. caught in a lie and can’t weasel his way out . . . No wonder Cheney waited 3 days to talk publicly about his hunting accident–the hardest thing for a conservative to say is “I was wrong” apparently.
Look at Bush and Iraq . . .
As usual, Joe W is stuck on stupid. “Leftist liberal = bigot.” In your dreams, boy.I’m all for Condi running for president. If the republicans are as color blind as Joe thinks they are, they’ll nominate her in ‘08 (and pigs will fly). I’m just dying to see what the NASCAR and pro wrestling crowd will think of that.Sebelius for president? oh nooooo..
Hehe, XXX. Yup, that’s the rub, isn’t it.
Condi has an important government position, so does Clarence Thomas, so did Colin Powell.
But notice one thing? They’re all APPOINTED positions, not a single ELECTED black Republican in the bunch.
Kinda hurts Joe’s position, don’t it?
“We don’t torture anyone!” Condoleeza Rice
ROTFLMOSRFAO
V.L.R.B!!
One national publication’s impression of our governor:
“Outside a few urban and academic precincts, no Kansas politician can win an election running as a liberal. The Democratic governor, the eerily icy Kathleen Sebelius, won her race by simply doing a better job running as a Republican than her Republican opponent did.”
Joe – I’d vote against Rice but my reasons have absolutely nothing to do with race/gender. They have to do with her failed (in may opinion) foreign policy.
Your comment “racist bigot … Most leftist are.” is pure BS and you know it.
Thank you KCL. You made that point much better than I could!
You know, GOP, you might try actually talking to a black person before you tell us all what they think.
Just a suggestion . . .
