She is an incredibly accomplished woman and one might disagree with her politics, but darn it, she earned that spot on that podium!

She earned her spot in history, or herstory which ever way you prefer, but she is being used by men who could care less about her or those who have the same melanin in their skin as she. It puts it in the area of tokenism.

Corkey,
For me, to think of Condi Rice as someone that is being "used," would require that I believe her to be "naive." That is certainly the last qualifier that comes to mind when thinking of her.
Cheers

I wouldn't know that since I'm not inside her head, but who knows? You could be right!

I certainly have friends who think they can make a difference staying in places where they can make a difference than in a place where they are taken for granted.

Maybe I'm being influenced by Chris Matthew, whom I watched all night and despite him being a super liberal, he is still now drooling over her speech --- which by the way, was an electrifying one, particularly when compared with the dull, unspiring ones I heard tonight.

Im thinking you misunderstood my post. I find "tokenism" to be very offensive as well. Ms Rice is an accomplished woman, who happens to be a POC, and also pro choice. The GOP is anti women, anti choice, and anti POC ( see AJ's previous post). I was speaking to the irony involved, not the person.

Maybe she was clarifying that she was the "real" wife instead of the other 18 he could have? lol

I take my real marriage over hers any day...

Default 'Freedom is Fabulous’: Two Republican gay groups make waves in Tampa


TAMPA--An older gentleman in a sparkling cowboy suit and matching hat made out of sequins gazed at a pair of buff male go-go dancers wearing tight jeans and skimpy tank tops that read "Freedom Is Fabulous." That was the scene at a local gay bar called "The Honeypot" on Tuesday night. More than 800 Republican delegates along with members of the local Tampa gay community and reporters clustered to listen to the colorful conservative gay group GOProud make the case for electing Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.

GOProud often needles the older, more established gay conservative group, The Log Cabin Republicans, by emphasizing that GOProud is the "only" gay group to have endorsed Mitt Romney. The group hints that Log Cabin is the stodgy uncle figure in the very small world of gay conservative groups.

I cannot bear to watch it. I get anxiety just seeing the listing on the screen when going through the channel guide.
