Condi '08 Part LXVI

Our diversity is our strength here at ThreeSources, but one thing we tend to agree on is support for our Second Amendment rights.

I humbly submit this as yet another reason to support our Secretary of State in oh-Eight.

"Gay gun nut" Alphecca agrees:

Rice said the Founding Fathers understood "there might be circumstances that people like my father experienced in Birmingham, Ala., when, in fact, the police weren't going to protect you."

"I also don't think we get to pick and choose from the Constitution," she said in the interview, which was taped for airing Wednesday night. "The Second Amendment is as important as the First Amendment."

That does it! Since all the TV talking-heads are already speculating about 2008, and as a mostly one-issue voter, I'm throwing my support behind Dr. Condoleezza Rice for President. That is, unless Glenn finally does pick up the gauntlet!

Seriously though, there are no appealing candidates standing out right now for the coming (well, in two years anyway) primaries. Rice has always struck me as far more moderate than many on her side of the aisle. While I am "pro-life" I am not rabidly so and can live with her being not rabidly "pro-choice". I suspect she could care less about banning "gay marriage" or other issues of the far-right and she's clearly comfortable with the notion of defending our nation from the mutants who threaten it.

There's no-one on the Democratic side that I could bring myself to vote for. Hillary? Not in this lifetime. Rudy? Hopelessly anti-2A.

I know johngalt likes Rudy (as do I) but he has not been a friend to the "Freedom Firsters."
