NeoCons: Condi Rice For VP - No White Men Need Apply

C Rice: "Which country we supposed to invade today?"

So the Neocons have launched a major effort to bully Mitt Romney into naming Condoleeza Rice as his Vice Presidential choice. The Drudge Report at present has a “Drudge Exclusive [1]”, three supporting stories and a Poll on the question.

One of the cheerleaders is the sinister Bill Kristol [2]. After his disastrous influence on foreign [3] and also domestic policy – as I discussed in Who killed California? The Neocons: (2) [4] – there is no objective case for paying any attention to Kristol: the ugly fact is his influence purely stems from the wealth [5]of his friends.

 The Drudge essay emphasizes the key appeal of Rice is her willingness to acquiesce in more “Invade the World [6]” craziness

It was Condi who received two standing ovations at Romney's Utah retreat a few weeks ago, and everyone left with her name on their lips.

Rice made an extended argument for American leadership in the world.

Last time this cost [7] the GOP the White House and both Houses of Congress.

But beyond this, the choice of Rice, an Affirmative Action cipher with no visible talent except for obeying Neocons [8], is a hugely negative message to white voters [9]. It says that the GOP is indeed terrified [10]of Obama’s Race Card [11] and that a Romney Presidency is likely to degenerate [12] into minority appeasement. [13]

As with McCain, many will not bother to vote [14]
