Condoleezza Rice delivered an amazing speech – so amazing that I felt bad that Paul Ryan had to follow it. It’s just that good and you can watch it below:

Were you paying close attention? Ms. Rice echoed President Obama’s vision for America.
FYI: Slavery is NOT a birth defect as Ms. Rice so eloquently stated.

What a fraud. Endorsed Obama Who is the real Condi Rice? Well she claims to be as republican, and somehow people think
she is smart. She created the present Palestine issues by getting Israel to leave.
Here she is on Jay Leno dissing Dick Cheyne for correctly attacking Obamas; Policies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5P5K-x5_UQ&feature=related
Her statements of having a black man as President come off more racist than anything.
Is it not much more important having not only a qualified Black man than just a man?
What about his non-qualifications and total lack of accomplishments, coupled with his socialistic ideas
that have failed and are failing? She is a racist based on her words. here she is giddy over
Obama taking over. Her speech at the Republican Convention was fraudulant.
Here she was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhSjuduQGN4

In my opinion, the speech of the night. She touches on all of Mitt’s 5 points (energy, trade, education, taxes/finances, regulation) in the context of global issues and the United States’ role in the world. Amazing woman!

Great speech. Real GOP values. I would definitely consider voting for her. Unfortunately Romney / Ryan are Tea Party idiots. Maybe in 2016 the GOP will return to it’s roots and put a candidate on the ballet we can vote for.

I wonder if Chris Matthews and his ilk will understand what she did to Obama tonight. If anyone has the right to grab the mantle of “the Black Civil Rights Experience” it was the girl who lived with the fear in Birmingham and went on to become Secretary of State not the man who claimed his birth was based in a march that happened years after said birth. The truth vs the lie. Stick that in your dog whistle and blow it, Chris.

Wow!! Fantastic speech!!
She is probably the smartest and most articulate person I have ever seen in government. I wasn’t too thrilled about her supporting the Arab Spring, but I would still vote for her as President in a heartbeat.
Thinking about her dealing with foreign leaders with confidence, intelligence and knowledge is a much more secure feeling (with pride) than it is thinking of Hillary doing it and leaving us with a feeling of weakness, ignorance and shame. I can only imagine what foreign leaders think when they meet with Obama or Hillary. They are surely laughing at them for their ineptness and weakness. No admiration results from weak leaders. Only embarrassment.

This is presidential! Too bad Condi would not run for president. She was impressive and inspiring. I hope she does get into public office in CA. I think she could turn the state around! We have a deep bench conservatives and GOP! We must unite to turn back the liberal/socialist tide! We started it in 2010 with the Tea Party. Let’s continue the job in 2012! We CAN DO THIS! Ryan/Romney 2012!

Rice has a vision of America that is strong and clear. Every point she made was right on the money. I especially liked her singling out the education crisis in our cities as “The Civil Rights issue” of our time. How pitifull and small the Democrats look with their issues of gay marriage and the phoney war on woman next to Rice’s laser-like pinpointing of an issue that should be on our Nation’s front burner as a priority.

Rice is a class act and her speech was fabulous. BUT(!) I think that Susanna Martinez’s (Gov. New Mexico) speech, in her own way, was better. Rice is an intellectual, serious, seasoned political class “thinker”. She is not comfortable being “animated”. Her words are sincere and her delivery is good – but, like Mitt, she still has a hint of stiffness. The “when I was a little girl and was not allowed to have a hamburger at the counter at Wolworths” moment was powerful and she delivered it perfectly. Kudos to Condi. I think Martinez is more natural. She was on top of her game. Relaxed, and a story teller. Anyone could relate to Martinez. Any woman, any man, anyone with ambition and love for what America has to offer. Hispanics everywhere should be so proud of Martinez. She is one smart gal and she knows how to deliver and… Read more »

Have to admit, had the same thought. Will never understand her supporting zero, nor how she and Powell couldn’t have known who and what he is.
But, this speech was moving in many ways and very inspiring. It was heartening too to see the delegates give her such a welcome, and show that her achievements and contributions are appreciated. Just one word for this speech? WOW.

Where does America stand? Currently? Well that’s easy to answer. Currently they stand against our friends and have thrown their support to our enemies. They support the Ikwan and are dissing our friend Israel. They support CAIR, the MSA and any other civilizational jihadist movement dedicated to the destruction of the US and the west. They support Putin’s version of communism. They kowtow to China and Saudi. They tie our troops hands with ridiculous ROEs that incorporate the idiotic philosophy of multiculturalism and dhimnitude in the moronic hope that somehow our enemies in Islam will not kill us anymore. All of their foreign policy ideas are short-sighted, ignorant and traitorous. Its that simple. Our entire government from the top on down, to include the leadership of the military services needs to purged of these foolish people.
