CNN: naming Paul Ryan is a GOP “ticket death wish.”

CNN just can’t let it alone.  It’s in their genes:

From Candy Crowley on CNN, in regard to Ryan as Romney’s VP pick:

CROWLEY: …that this might be, looks a little bit like some sort of ticket death wish. That, oh, my gosh, do we really want to talk about these thing? Is this where we want to go when the economy is so bad? We could have stayed on that.

Ah yes, CNN carrying — once again — the water for Mr Obama and the Demorats.  Being the good little Minions for Leftists Everywhere.

[Question to CNN: how are those ratings working out for you?]

I knew it would start; clearly CNN’s Crowley and CNN’s Gloria Borger both wish to carry Obama’s water.

As well as MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell:

ANDREA MITCHELL: I think that you’re going to see that they’ve decided that this is a base election.

CHRIS HAYES: Yeah.

MITCHELL: This is not a pick for suburban moms. This is not a pick for women. This is a pick for the base.

This isn’t a pick for women who want their contraception for free.  This isn’t a pick for women who want hot-and-cold running abortions up to the 7th month.  And this isn’t a pick for women who want exclusivity and more divisiveness in America.

Further: this isn’t a pick for people who wish to continue Class Warfare.

This isn’t a pick for those who wish to continue Race Warfare.

This isn’t a pick for those who wish to continue the War Against Business.

This isn’t a pick for those who wish to continue Sex Warfare.

This isn’t a pick for those who wish to continue Profit Warfare.

This isn’t a pick for those who wish to continue Something For Nothing.

This IS, however, a pick for those persons who wish to push all of that extraneous bullshit aside and advocate for AMERICANS, and Sovereignty and Liberty and balanced budgets and the Rule of Law and the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

So sign me up.

Oh yeah, that’s right; I’m already signed up.  I put my cash where my mouth is.

 

 

Romney’s VP: General David Petraeus?

Breaking news from the UK at TheDailyMail:

  • Drudge Report says Barack Obama was overheard saying Romney was courting the popular general
  • Petraeus was the most prominent military commander in the nation — credited with stabilizing the Iraq War
  • Tension between the general, who is now CIA director, and Obama over draw down of troops in Afghanistan
  • Obama is thought to fear Petraeus’ political power if he becomes a critic of the administration
  • White House denies Obama ever mentioned Petraeus as possible vice presidential candidate

Would this make any difference to you as a voter?

Drudge hints: Condi Rice for Romney’s VP?


Admittedly, I failed to see this coming.

I would have enjoyed perhaps Tom McClintock, Paul Ryan, Allen West, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal or any number of other young guns. I did not see the possibility of Condoleezza Rice being considered. I thought she had made her prior refusals quite clear — but that was — as we may all recall — for the presidential spot, not VP.

That said, I’d take Rice over any number of inept, staid, corrupt, decrepit “Old Republicans” one molecule away from their brethren and sistren across the aisle.

Peggy Noonan of the Wall Street Journal writes — as many people inherently know but mostly refuse to verbalize — that Obama “seems to view politics as his weary duty, something he had to do on his way to greatness.” And that Condi Rice would be a “brilliant choice” as VP.

Even Limbaugh wonders: “Condi?”

Let me get the obvious up front and out of the way. She is more “black” than Obama — because that actually matters to some blacks. [That’s a massive topic for another day. –BZ] She is more educated than Obama. She has infinitely more experience than Obama as the 66th Secretary of State under Bush. She was a poli-sci professor at Stanford, Bush’s National Security Advisor in his first term and is, well, female. She had to overcome incredible obstacles in her way. She is a concert-level pianist. Under Wikepedia:

Rice was a Democrat until 1982, when she changed her political affiliation to Republican, in part because she disagreed with the foreign policy of Democratic President Jimmy Carter,[16][17] and because of the influence of her father, who was Republican. As she told the 2000 Republican National Convention, “My father joined our party because the Democrats in Jim Crow Alabama of 1952 would not register him to vote. The Republicans did.”[18]

Imagine that. Those evil Republicans.

Any thoughts?

P.S.
Here is Condoleezza Rice as portrayed by the loving, accepting, tolerant, understanding, sensitive, inclusive and benevolent Leftists/Demorats:


Because, after all, that’s what you do to a black female in Modern Day Demorat America who isn’t an immediate adherent of your Leftist philosophy. Ruin her.

If you’re a black, you’re a Demorat. If you aren’t, you’re a traitor and slated for despicable ruination.

Condi Rice thinks that anyone with their pants below their underwear looks ludicrous.
