WASHINGTON - Condoleezza Rice - won easy confirmation Wednesday to be President Bush's new secretary of state, despite strong dissent from a small group of Democrats who said she shares blame for mistakes and war deaths in Iraq

While it's nice to see a black woman become secretary of state, it's disgusting to see a liar get the job.

Condoleezza Rice is a sell out and gives a bad name to the women of America. She is a disgrace to the black women. I hear she is the (edited) of the White House.

It's not her "looks". I could care less --but she is objectively attractive (as is my niece BTW). I was commenting on her expression --which looks like relief at not being imprisoned for war crimes. |

Must be plenty of Democrats who don't agree with you CM... 85 For and 13 Against.. Sounds to me like she earned the job fair and square. Your just pissed because Republicans are stealing all the spot light and you Democrats have a back seat on everything. Sure is good to be in the driver's seat in over 50 years. |

Perhaps they felt that the historical precedence of rubber-stamping cabinet members should go unchanged? That she is a liar is an undeniable fact. |

An opinion of a political party who did draw out the nomination of Dr. Rice to make headlines in the newspaper. As you can see, only a handful of Democrats jumped on the bandwagon. The rest are smart enough to know Dr. Rice is the perfect person for the job. And if you don't like it, call your Senator and have them explain why they confirmed a "Liar" as you believe. |

LOL I didn't see Clinton putting any Black people into positions of power. Then here comes a Republican, and what happens? A Black man, then a black woman as S. of State for the United States? Unbelieveable. And Democrats wanna poo poo Dr. Rice's nomination. That's just classic... For all the jibber jabber Democrats say about helping minorities, they don't live up to their end of the bargin when the time comes. Maryland Governor Erhlich has a Black Lt. Governor and they are Republicans. And yet still, the Democrats poo poo the whole thing.. Funny. Republicans do more for Minorities than Democrats in my eyes. |
