Does it Matter That Condi Rice Is 'Mildly Pro-Choice?' (POLL)
Last night, the media were buzzing over the claim that former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice might be on GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney's vice-presidential short list. While some have flatly rejected such a notion, others are very clearly entertaining it. In the end, the reaction — even if the reports are baseless — has been diverse and noteworthy.
As we've reported, in the past Rice has said that she will not be Romney's running mate. Furthermore, some journalists say that sources from within the campaign reject the notion that she's even being considered. Still, there's no shortage of buzz over the news. From radio host Rush Limbaugh to former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, it seems practically everyone has an opinion.
Among the many issues, though, pending Rice truly is being considered, would be her views on abortion. Separating from the vast majority of conservatives, the former secretary of state has described herself as "mildly pro-choice." While this title certainly wouldn't be fervent enough to attract the praise of far-leftists, it serves as a potential turn-off to many on the right.

"I myself am someone who believes strongly in parental notification. … I'm against late-term abortion, which is, I think, really very cruel," Rice said in a 2008 interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes."
While this is certainly sentiment that conservative Republicans would embrace, Rice went on to say in that same interview that she does not support overturning Roe vs. Wade.
"I have not wanted to see the law changed because it's an area that I worry about the government being involved in," she proclaimed.
Watch her make these comments, below:
In an election year between President Barack Obama, an incumbent candidate that many see as vastly liberal and Mitt Romney, an individual who has sometimes struggled to captivate conservative audiences, one wonders if Rice's abortion views would be problematic. After all, some would argue that Romney needs a running mate with solid right-of-center credentials. Not everyone shares these concerns, though.
Take, for instance, Palin, who held little praise back for Rice during an appearance on Fox News' "On the Record With Greta van Susteren" last night.
"I think that Condoleezza Rice would be a wonderful vice president, and she certainly has much more experience than our sitting president does today," Palin said.
As for abortion, a hot-button issue for conservatives and liberals, alike, Palin showed very little concern over Rice's pro-choice views. While she said she'd prefer candidates who respect "all innocent, precious, purposeful human life," she said that legislating abortion is Congress' role — not a vice-president's.
What do you think? Does it matter to you that Rice is "mildly pro-choice?" Would her views impact your vote? Take the poll, below:

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:54amIf Romney is even considering Rice, then Romney is not serious at all about abortion and whether he chooses her or not I'm not voting for that RINO.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:00amAgreed… of course a vote for anyone else would end up being a vote for pro-infanticide Obama.
I like Condi but I can't support murdering children. -
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:12amThat's why Glenn Beck says: you can't be for something by being against something. You have to puke yourself out of the debate. Beck is so close yet the words aren't quite their, because his lips are un – that 'C' word nobody seems to like. He kind of reminds me of Moses.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:23amYou can't be for something by being against something, because life, nature, nature's God is like an Algebra equation – if you add to one side of the equation it gets subtracted from the other side of the equation. That's why men didn't invent mathematics, and they just discovered it.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:29amThat's the idea of the United States – to not be for or against something….Liberty. You can tell evil people, because evil doesn't like liberty. Liberty shines a light on their fruit, and liberty exposes their fruit so they seek to crush liberty's light.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:33amThis woman was "National Security Advisor" on the day of the worst attack in history on American Soil. This does not look good on her resume !!
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:36amSo, you're gonna vote for Obummer? Or are you just gonna sit it out and give him 1/2 your vote?
Look, no candidate will be perfect, but if we don't get behind the one we have, we're going to hand the next four years to Abortionist-in-Chief. Not to put too fine a point on it: Get over the minutia of your idealogical put-offs and vote for Romney. The time for putting aside your pettiness is over. -
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:36amRomney … we need to get rid of BHO, and this in NOT the way to do it. This woman was on the radio only a week ago saying that Arab Spring wasn't a bad thing. Holy crap lady, are you blind?
I didn't think there was any way I would not be motivated to vote, but this may be it.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:38amShe is a excellent choice.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:40amObama takes the lead on abortion support by a long shot. Not voting for someone that 'sort of, might' support 'certain' abortion laws would only make way for the grand master abortion supporter of them all – Obama.
The cliche of voting the lesser of two evils has never made more sense.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:40amI'm a pro choice Republican woman, and I think she's a great choice!
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:41amSo you will either not vote or vote for Obama? Thanks a lot, we need another four years of this fool.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:42amThat being said, it doesn't mean that evil people should be dispatched because we are all part of that 'One' equation – and you can tell from mathematics that equations work toward the cause of good. And even if evil people dispatch lively people, then the equation doesn't work either. It would be like taking away half an equation – and then even your beloved science would truly die.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:42amBAMAMONTANA, I'm with you on that. Frankly, I am already only voting for Romney as a vote against 0bama anyway. Certainly not fond of Romney, but I am one of his top supporters right now. At least until the next election cycle.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:48am"mildly pro-choice" Sounds very Romney like to me.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:59amCondi-Most progressives want to kill 500,000 + BABIES

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:59amYou know – unfortunately there will never be a candidate who is 100% in phase with every one of my desires, or yours, or anybody else's. Whether you like it or not, there will be no President Ron Paul, or Jesse Ventura, or Joe the Plumber – or whoever else it is that you think is the 'perfect' candidate. There is no such perfect person.
Nonetheless, we have a CLEAR choice here. There are two candidates with the possibility of winning the election. You must pick the one who most closely matches your views, and YOU MUST VOTE! In this case you have one candidate who is a card-carrying (even if he won't admit it) communist who seems hell-bent on destroying the Constitution, and another candidate who – regardless of what else he might be – does NOT want to destroy the Constitution, and is NOT a communist.
That, my friends, is a NO BRAINER!
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:00amCondi has never ran for office before, and has zero experience campaigning. She's already said she has no ambition to be VP. So lets not all jump on the media bandwagon. Look at the facts, not the tabloids.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:00amSerious about abortion? Hell, Romney ain't serious about getting elected! He won't call Obama a Marxist – which is 100 percent true – and then we're supposed to believe Romney actually wants to be POTUS???
It's really a pathetic joke how many on our side allow the media to run their campaign strategies. Simply embarrassing.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:06amRice is not going to be his Choice anyway. She has said over and over, including in a recent interview, that this is not something she is interested in. These false picks always come out for a couple of weeks prior to the real pick. How about if Romney picks a true Tea Party-type conservative like Congressman Paul Ryan? That would seal my vote for the ticket.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:17amNope. Cuz I'll never vote for him anyways!
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:22amThe whole bunch of politicians are playing us on the abortion issue. Bush had the House and Senate the first two years and could have used an executive order to stop all abortions or at the least stop funding them. And he didn't.
We are like sheep being led to the slaughter by the Republicans and the Democrats. Republicans ruined the middle class with outsourcing middle class jobs. The Democrats ruined the poor by handing them everything without work.
Our hope and change have been replaced with dope and chance.
Spirit 72
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:33amNo one seems to care that November can only be won when we have 60 Conservative Senators. No President / VP candidate will misbehave if they are impeachable. This is how we MUST guard the Constitution. 12 Senate seats are a toss up and need to be Tea Party seats !!!!
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:40amI will cast my ballot for Mitt simply because I don't want to see Obama complete his "transformation" of America. Obama is not "just" pro-abortion – his record is the MOST RADICAL pro-abortion politician ever. Obama has publicly stated that he would be in favor of murdering his own grandchildren because he didn't want his daughter "punished with a baby". SICK!
Condoleezza Rice, your opinion matters to Almighty God who is the author of Life. Do you really fail to see what Planned Parenthood has done to black Americans? I suggest you watch an abortion before answering more questions on this topic.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:44amIf he chooses a republican (instead of conservative) then we all need to show up and make sure we vote for real conservatives for the house and senate. When Romney chooses a moderate he will lose and we will need a strong congress to fight Obama.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:47amBeing a pro-life voter is silly. I am very very pro-life but the Republicans will never overturn it. It is a winning issue because they get votes simply for being pro-life. Think about when Bush was President Republicans controlled both houses of congress and still we have abortion. I think abortion is horribly immoral but I want a President that will turn the economy around because no matter who the President is they will not overturn Roe Vs Wade. It is important from a judicial prospective.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:48amF the election. We are not voting for baby killers. Da mn I hope Obama wins as we need as a people to be in chains.FOOLS Give me righteousness or give me chains.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:50amWell vote for Obama then and be a good Socialist.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:53amIs there no one who will challenge Satan. The word of God says a christian with little faith can walk on him. Is there no one. If I live among a people who will only serve themselves then I want chains all over us. Condi Rice is dead to me.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:55amThe vote is showing 59% would vote rice. We are lost if a conservative site sides with baby killers.FOOLS Here come your chains.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:04amCondi is pro choice….hmmmm….the devil quoted scripture to Jesus also, but he was and is still the devil.
Ezekiel 18:24– If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits sin and does the same detestable things the wicked man does, will he live? NONE of his righteous things he has done will be remembered. Because of unfaithfulness he is guilty and because of sins he has committed, he will die!
This poll and most of you on this site show just how apostate and unbelieving people in this nation are today. You don't even know where to stand on the basic issues of God's word. This is sad. Read your bibles people and you will know where to stand on these issues!!!! -
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:05amAnybody who votes for a President because of their stance on Abortion is an idiot. A President sets the tone for the country. Both Romney and Condi have expressed how BAD of an idea abortion is, but its not their place to decide for AMERICANS, who have the right to screw with their bodies as they wish. Its sad that a fetus/child may be aborted (could be the next scientist that cures cancer), and I believe anyone who murders a child should be punished, but I don't need a President to tell me that or a Congress to pass a law protecting life when it can't survive on its own. As a society we must find another way.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:06amRomney shoul choose-Rick Santorum .He's a true conservative-most right wing politicians are really not-especially regarding abortion.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:07amThere are other candidates better than Rice. Abortion views are not negotiable and if one were able to ask of those "mildly aborted" how they felt I am sure it would be unanimous. Besides, Rice would also put ALL the BUSH years in play and Obama would love that. Move on.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:32amA vote against Romney is a vote for obama. To vote obama in again is insane.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:37amI will not vote for anyone that is pro-choice, if they cannot figure out that abortion is murdering an innocent baby, then they must not have any common sense or logic, or morals, or they just do it to be PC, either way, they are not getting my vote !
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:37amLaura Bush Condi's freind is not a pro lifer and a moderate. Condi is the same only worse for she represents the Council Of Foreign Relations RINO/GLOBALIST. Rubio is another Rino in disguise who promotes all of Jeb's policies. Romney stop listening to the BUSH'S!!
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:45amJuergensen
Sometimes we have to take a little chaff in the wheat. If she were chosen and believes in pro-choice, it might not be my choice, but I'd rather take a bit of chaff than go with a full blown abortionist believer who voted for the horrid late term abortion, and is a communist/marxist. Sometimes you have to take the least of evils in all parts of our lives. Get your common sense thinking cap on instead of a dumb remark like a kid who refuses everything if he can't have what's provided.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:53amGod is against the taking of innocent life, what I have a hard time with is those that make the claim to be Christian but support the Murder of babies. You cannot walk on both sides of the fence, I choose God and his word. Leaving man to his own morals you get Charles Manson , Adolf Hitler, Nero and the like.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 12:08pmWell, 58% show that they would not vote for the ticket if Rice is chosen as VP – that number was shocking to me. I want Colonel West!!
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 12:12pmDon't vote…stay home, that will solve everything. Look, you are not going to agree on everything with a candidate. It's that simple. You have have to find the one that shares what you deem to be the most important to you. If for you it is abortion, then by all means don't vote. I for one am very anti-abortion myself, but this country is not at a stage that is beyond that issue. That issue is one for us to take up when we are not in danger of losing our country. In that light, when I look at Romney and Rice, I like my chances and the country's chances a whole lot better than with Obama and Biden. I will vote for Romeny and whoever…he is not my first choice by any means, but I believe adding Rice gives him an addition edge in beating Obama and I am for it. The abortion fight will continue once we are free again! Let's get from under Obama's yoke first. I don't see Rice enacting laws making abortion available at your corner drugstore and I don't see her influencing Romney to do so either. She does, however, bring a wealth of knowledge and intelligence that that office has not seen in a long while.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 12:13pmTo vote a third party is to re-elect obama, fact is anyone who would cast a vote for or against on a issue like abortion ….HAS NO PLACE IN OUR ELECTORIAL PROCESS
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 12:39pmThen you're a fool and may God forget that someone who helped Obama get a second term was my countryman.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:07pmIf anyone ALLOWS their vote to NOT BE AGAINST OBAMA because of the VP's stance on abortion, they are an idiot. Rice was VERY clear that the subject of abortion is up to the Congress anyway, not the president. Woe to those who withhold their vote because of this.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:14pmIf he picks Rice he loses. No doubt about it. The race is so close and I believe will continue to be. The evangelical vote right now is full of people who will begrudgingly vote for a Mormon. If he chooses a pro-choice running-mate, they will give up and stay home. Me included. I cannot and will never vote FOR anyone who is pro-choice, even knowing that in this case a non-vote is for Obama.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:14pmWe should all vote for Romney even if he picks Michael Moore as his running mate. 4 more years of this con man Obie in our White House and we won't be worrying about abortion vs life … we'll be scrounging for our next meal of cat food while waiting for the clock to tell us it is again tome to face Mecca and pray.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:14pmwasn't romney pro-choice for pretty much his entire life, until like, 3 years ago?
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:18pmSimple fact is that abortion is wrong for a civilized society. Therefore, if you cannot find the moral courage to make the logical stand, then how can I possibly trust anything you do or say???
It's really not complicated. You people wonder why you're constantly let down, yet you have no ability to figure out why. It's mind-boggling to me.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:20pmGrow up!! Loyalty trumps Politics!! Unless you are a Liberal!!SHE IS NOT A LIBERAL!!
She is a Woman and I myself(NOT ONE)could never begin to understand what it must be like to be one!!
Rape,incest,the mother's health,is probably what she struggles with and that is a valid concern!!
She could save the NFL from the VP Office
Third World Countries are terrified of Her
She is Loyal and Extremely Smart
She is Not a Communist Marxist Socialist Fascist!!!
To willingly not vote.. knowing its a vote for Obama… is more disgraceful than a Woman's right to choose!!Remember God gave them that right as God gave all of us to choose our own path..
You let Obama divide you and eat you up inside..Get over it and lets elect the people we need to get to the next level!! -
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:32pmMildly prochoice is like mildly pregnant or mildly dead, WTF.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:33pmRaging morons like you will give us barry again then we are all truly screwed. Ignorant freakin idiot.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:45pmAgreed… of course a vote for anyone else would end up being a vote for pro-infanticide Obama.
I like Condi but I can't support murdering children…………………………………………………………………………………………. I change my mind, after hearing your post i realized I was wrong, I said mildly was ridiculous, that it was the same as mildly pregnant…….But after seeing your post I realize that there is a difference…… Obama makes this difference possible because he is so outrageous in his positions……. He is worse than mildly, he even kills them AFTER they are born……. so please vote AGAINST Obama……. HE is worse by far, he is evil………. I said mildly dead,,,, You can die in your sleep or you can be tortured to death,,,,, there is a difference….. Bammy is torture, please vote. -
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:46pmThere are many issues that impact Americans. Abortion is but one of many. God will punish each and ever individual that is invovled in an abortion (that does not satisfy His requirements of repentance – if such a thing exists). A vote in another direction is stating that you don't care about the many other ailing problems of America.
Leadership involves compromise and seeing the big picture (i.e., rising above the weeds). You obviously are holding tight to that one weed.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:47pmcONDIE IS A MISTAKE !
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:53pmP C BE DAMNED – Politicians, in general, do not follow God's commandments. They claim to be religious, but they a empty words to sell you a story. I believe that most politicians will end up in hell because they seek power and glory and fail to represent the people according to God's commandments.
With that said, you are an absolute fool if you fail to vote in a way that helps to keep America what it was when it was first created under the inspiration of the Almighty.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:56pmThen you're an idiot or a liar. If you might have voted for Romney before he chose a pro-choice/pro-abortion VP, but not after, you're saying that you would rather vote for Obama — the most ardently pro/choice pro/abortion person to ever walk the fact of the earth — than Romney, who is not pro-choice. You're doing so because his VP choice is about as pro-abortion as Obama's VP choice. That's idiocy.
OR, you're lying, because you are trying to get us to infer that choosing Condi would cause you to change your mind, when in fact your mind is already made up, and you are voting for Obama anyway.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 2:12pmI am pro-life. I would be most disappointed if Romney chose Rice as his VP. It would hurt his chances for election with conservatives like myself. However, I would still vote for Romney only because the alternative of Obama being re-elected would put the final nail in the coffin for America!
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 2:12pmI am all for abortion for Democrats seriously
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 2:16pmI don't liked her, never have, something underlying that I could never put my finger on..
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 2:21pmCondi will "evolve" her thinking if selected.
(Thank you Barrack Hussain Obama for ending the left from throwing term "flip-flop" at Repubs. Perhaps this is THE one good thing you have done in 31/2 looooong years. Too bad John Kerry did not have you as his campaign advisor!)
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 2:27pmI always liked Condi, but that seems to be the problem: Everyone is supporting her based on emotion.
The "mildly pro-abortion" thing isn't a deal breaker. It's a convoluted issue. Yes it is murder, but I can hardly expect a rape victim to give birth to her rapist's child. Imagine the trauma for 9 months.
So far, she seems like Bush to me: self-proclaimed conservative, yet I don't see any real proof of that. Condi as VP just feels like more Bush in the White House to me.
How about replacing the deck instead of another reshuffle?
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 2:33pmRice is a qualified, and successful lady, but to closely aligned with Bush. Romney needs to separate himself from Bush, if he is to win in November.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 2:43pmGET OVER IT. I'm totally PRO-LIFE. RICE has -0- to do with it. Her own personal belief as a single Black woman is in the middle. NO one wants to kill babies, and I'd much prefer that all women work on NOT USING ABORTION as birth control, I am very much against abortion. I don't want any $ going to Planned Parenthood. It's a flaw for sure, but Compared to the Commie and the certifiably insane Veep we have now, she is a breath of fresh air…but I'M STILL FOR RUBIO !!! The only reason I could be pulled off of RUBIO is our control of the SENATE and having very STRONG people there. I loved one bloggers suggestion that Mitt choose RUBIO, then Gov. Scott appoint Allen WEST TO RUBIO'S SENATE SEAT !
WHATEVER WILL the dopey Libs do? A BLACK WOMAN with tons of foreign service experience? And THEY can't knock her for her views! Will be interesting. -
Dr. Sandy Kramer
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 2:55pmMildly "pro-choice" is akin to "mildly pregnant." Perhaps she only wishes to maim the child, rather than outright murder him/her. I suppose you could turn off the vacuum suction off prematurely.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 2:59pmHer Fabian Socialism and Margaret Sanger influence finally shows through just like progressive Geo. W Bush. In their defense only for the rest of the things they have done, She did an excellent job for the country and has always seemed to be a great strong conservative female. I just had a feeling there would be something that resembled former great Gen. Colin Powell. Murdering babies is wrong and originates in racial purification and PLANNED PARENTHOOD progressives in modern days. I realize abortions and infanticide hass been done before that but only when necessary for a community, i.e. Roman, Greek, etc. Even then, the child would have to be shown and offered to 3 citizens before dumping it outside the city walls to die in a pile of refuse.
I appreciate Bush for many things but not being a progressive is not one of them. Condoleeza Rice seemed less of a progressive than him but she has already stated that she will not be a VP emphatically so I don't think we need to worry about the survey. She said she will not do it.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 3:05pmMorality is a very important thing. You have to consider what 4 more years of BHO will do to liberty and your ability to advance your morality!! Condi Rice isn't going to change what already is regarding abortion – that is just her personal view. As far as Romney goes – I don't like choking on my vote either (I've voted for the lesser of two evils for 24 years), but the country cannot withstand another 4 years of this nation wrecker and his ilk.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 3:14pmOh why dont you grow up! Right now you have a communist in the oval office. A guy who does not give a crap about anything but his political future.
Atleast with Romney and Rice the children have a fighting chance.
And if you dont like R vs W Then elect conserative presidents so they can appoint conservative supreme court justices.
It sound simple enough but then there are people like you.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 3:17pmIf Democrats want to abort themselves let them
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 3:22pmHOPEREQUIRED…Well I am also a conservative republican woman…and I am NOT for killing babies even a little bit!
just a patriot
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 3:42pmCondi is far better than bho. Agree or don't agree on 1 issue, but basing your entire opinion of a possible running mate on that issue is a mistake. There are a good many things to consider in this election and every issue I can think of points to Romney as my candidate. bho doesn't come out first on one issue. However, Romney is heads and hands above bho in integrity. Quite focusing on minutia.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 3:43pmHer abortion stance doesn't matter to me at all. Her Progressivism does though…
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 3:59pmJuergensen, then stay home and ensure another Obama victory. How brillant. When Obama wins again because you refused to vote for Romney, you are not allowed to complain about Obama policies again. You are part of the problem instead of being part of the solution!
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 4:23pmSHE BELIEVES IN KILLING UNBORN BABIES…
But doing it mildly.
Romney is John McCain II. No matter who he picks now, it will not mean anything. He has shown his supporters who he really is, another hated and despised John McCain. He is a RINO too and the TEA will not elect a RINO. Better to keep Obama and move to Impeach him and forget about November. The GOP does not even have the guts to get Eric Holder for Contempt of the House and they think they will beat the Democrats with a whimp?
Very sad indeed.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 4:31pmWhen Humpty Dumpty (America) falls off the wall, you must admit that nothing can be done to put it back together. America has become a Communist nation without firing a shot. Our people are too yellow to fire anything but their fellow Americans. How it was done no longer matters. The offspring of America's Greatest Generation are cowards and social drones. They are certainly not worth dying for like is being done for them by other Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 4:56pmSo, you will wait for the 'perfect' candidate to come along and you would rather see our country go to Obama and what he has planned. All we need to have happen is for everyone who doesn't like one particular thing about the candidates to sit home on their hands on election day and we will face more of what we have been facing for the past 4 years. I will vote for Romney because he is better for our country than what we have now. Then, I plan to hold his feet to the fire.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 4:58pmThere's no way to "mildly" abort a baby. She's really a closet liberal and favors immigration reform for illegal aliens, same-sex marriage, etc. A very bad choice, and if he picks her, it's because he thinks he can get the black and woman vote, rather than because she'll be the best for the job.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 5:26pmWe gave Herman Cain the boot because of his adultery..
I guess Abortion is a grey area when it come to high morals.BUT Killing of the unborn…That ok….
BUT NO WAY on that adultery thing..I feel pretty confident in saying, that We As a country
are on a course straight to hell and what ever happens to this country ..WE DESERVE EVERY BIT OF IT..
Yep …Condoleezza Rice ..We applaud your hypocrisy ..that's who WE are.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 6:27pmWhat is "mildly pro-choice"?
Is it like a mild case of "STD"?
Either you have it or don't…you are or aren't! -
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 6:44pmHow are mildley pro choic. your either prochoice or your not theres no middle ground on this one
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 7:10pmIam afraid that my gender looks at "pro choice"… like someone is trying to take away some kind of right they think they have…killing someone else is not a right….it is unbelievable to me that a woman…especially a mother would be pro choice….even mildly :(
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 7:51pmJuergensen, if you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem. So don't vote for Romney and when Obama is elected because you have chosen to not vote or to cast a vote for a 3rd party candidate who will only split the vote, don't complain when Obama wins a 2nd term.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:32pmno such thing as the perfect candidate or vp. remember if obama wins abortion will be the last thing you have to worry about. wake up cause its either you support choice or obama is gonna choose for you and force you to pay for the thing you dislike
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:53pmAre you kidding me? So you would take a guy who is for the murdering of babies that are able to live and breath because the VP (not the future president, but his assistant that will have little or no impact on the debate) is weakly pro-choice? Do you realize how stupid that sounds and how absurd that is? Purity in politics is for the primaries. Choosing the best option for the general is reality. I pray God has mercy on your soul if you sit out the election over political purity.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:30pmdoes it matter? yea it does . mildly pro choice . im mildly for murdering the innocent. yea im leaning just a little on killing off babies. and romney "used" to be for it too. if he picks her he is for it to. we aint got a choice if you vote by morals its just the lesser of two evils
Posted on July 14, 2012 at 7:50amPeople wake up and get down off your high horse.
First off what do you think Condi Rice can do to promote abortion as a VP?
She doesn't sign anything into law! So you idiots will let Barry Obama get a 2nd term & completely collapse our Republic. And if that happens, guess what??? There will be millions more babies die from malnutrition and lack of healthcare & medicine.
So, you would stand on a principle against something in theory that won't change either way if Condi Rice is VP???
Right now abortion is legal. Nothing Condi RIce can do to change that either way.
BTW I am totally pro-life but Obama will kill more babies & people if he collapses our Republic and if he is elected to a 2nd term HE WILL DESTROY THE US.
Posted on July 14, 2012 at 8:24amyea vote for the communists ..that'll show 'em..dum-dum.
Posted on July 14, 2012 at 9:48amSo you would rather have the most left wing president ever? And if he gets control of Congress then what? Romney is far from perfect and too cautious, but please. This country is at a tipping point. 4 more years and it may be too late.
Posted on July 14, 2012 at 9:55amJust listened to yesterday's podcast… glad Glenn feels mostly the same way.
Change is needed, not more of the same.
Posted on July 14, 2012 at 11:54amRemember, almost all abortions are performed by and to LIBERALS. What these evil people do to their offspring who would most likely be liberal, is less of a concern to me. My beef with Condi is she seemed enthralled by Obama back in 2008 just like Colin Powell.
Posted on July 14, 2012 at 1:21pmHypocrisy for GOP to be pushing proabortionists romney and rice while saying on their plank that they are "prolife"! Gain the whole world and lose your soul ! God have mercy on our nation if we will humble ourselves , repent and pray!
Posted on July 14, 2012 at 3:10pmHow can one be MILDLY PRO MURDER??? Amazing how humans can rationalize their sinful beliefs! WELL, maybe not. If Christ is not ruling your life, satan will be. There is no MILD/MID?? Bloody fool she is. She needs to repent.!
Posted on July 14, 2012 at 4:05pmYou bet it matters. In this day and age when integrity, and moral principles mean a lot to me and others that are considering voting for the next candidate. When someone says something and we are to take them at their word, and then they go back on that word, they have lost all credibility with me. It matters a lot, not to mention I do believe that she is a member of CFR "Council on Foreign Relations". I could be mistaken on this but I don't think so. If someone knows differently please correct me, but this organization is nothing but "one world government" and we have had enough of that in the present President to choke a horse with, we don't need anymore of what we are trying to rid our nation of.

Posted on July 14, 2012 at 10:49pmWhen the U.S. Constitution says there can be no 'religious test' for office, it expands on that to cover a doctrine or a belief, not simply a certain religion.
The anti abortion view is a religious view, they admit it comes from the bible/commandments.
(Altho pubs are ambiguous, the don't seem to object to whoremonger/adulterer Sen. Vitter taking the taxpayers money, and he admitted to using the Capitol Hill Madam.) Contemptible, as is the catholic church for saying nothing. Even fox news has said vitter should resign, but no other sitting pub senator or congressman has the balls to do that.)
Anyway, isn't it treasonous to go against our Constitution, which clearly says no religious belief or doctrine is allowed in choosing leaders, prez, vp, senators, etc?
Only the pubs swear to uphold the Constitution and then undermine it, go against it. Traitors? -

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:08amYou bring up a great point. Her stance on abortion concerns me but I too would love to ask her who she voted for. I'm a minority myself and find it utterly disgusting that so many people voted for Obama just to show how much they're not racist. Ironic…
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:51amDoes anyone even care that SHE DOES NOT WANT THE JOB! This is just a republican push to strong arm her into accepting the position to help get votes and expand the base. Sure she is qualified…..but she doesn't want the job. This is no way to pick a Vice President. /disgusted.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 2:39pmI would LOVE to have Condi as VP, but she DOESN'T WANT THE JOB. She is an intelligent, mainly, conservative black woman. I am sure we can find plenty of those, or even conservative black men.
No one is going to be able to please everybody. You people who say you will not vote for Romney are stupido. You must want four more years for Obama to finish off this country. At least vote AGAINST Obama and not FOR Romney. -
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 3:12pmJHC,
Actually 95% of the post on here suggest that people who vote on policy not skin tone. However 96% of blacks poled suggest they would re-elect Obama now there's a skintone voting pool for you. Not a single black person can point to how they're better off under Obama and in fact unemployment is the highesty it's been for blacks in over 30 years yet they would re-elect ina heart beat……why?
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:54amAnd they will say: how can Pro be like Anti? How can Gog be like Magog? And people run around wondering why Autism rates are climbing. Didn't you see in the scriptures the way Jesus came upon a certain man who said he had no man to put him in the 'Waters?' The man waiting for the waters to move to be stirred. It's because all you people make autism rates climb.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:50amMitt Romney better start kicking his opponent in the cajones, because that's the only tactic his opponent can use. Condi Rice is an intelligent, competent individual, but she has no campaigning experience and would be viewed, by some, as pandering to both women and/or blacks. Romney needs an eloquent exciting CONSERVATIVE for his VP. Rubio, West, Ryan even Bachmann should be on the short list. I believe Romney can LOSE the election if his VP choice is a poor one.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:29amHer being pro choice is basically the only thing that really bothers me about her. But, you are certainly right about what the media will do to her should she be picked. Just roll in what they did with Palin and how the media has treated Zimmerman altogether, and it will be even worse for Rice.
That was pretty much the topic of discussion on a local talk radio station here this morning. Expect the media to claim that the only reason she was chosen will be race based, and a form of pandering to minorities. The spin storm will be a category five. -

Worse than 'byte-me'?
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:01amI'm pretty sure I heard Condi in a speech or interview say that she was NOT a conservative.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:42am–Romney would be nutty to pick Rice. She's pro-abort. She would bring the Bush admin. and the Iraq War back into the discussion. The left would have a field day with "white on rice" references.
No Rice! Please show me you have brains Mr Romney!!!
father of 2 from NJ
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:50amI think Ms Rice needs to be looked at in the context of what she brings to the campaign. She is not there to craft domestic policy or determine what is done regarding abortion in the United states. She fills a hole in Governor Romney's resume. A criticism that will be raised is going to be lack of foreign affairs and national security experience. Ms Rice fills that very well, she has relationships with foreign leaders and was a National security advisor. Building a ticket is not about painting a pretty picture or a candidate being 100

First of all, you cannot be mildly proabortion. If you think that it is good to kill any human being, you are a proabortion animal. Secondly, it goes to character. If a person is proabortion, they justify murder and if you justify murder, you cannot be trusted to care about any of the needs and rights of those already out of the womb!
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:48amI think Rice is a good sport for letting the Rmney camp float her name so that they can vet Portman, et al, without media speculation.

I'd bet she's actually seen more foreign dignitaries and had more dialogue with officials around the world than either the sitting president or vice president combined has.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:46amOMG really? This is who we're pushing? Nevermind Condi was part of the most evil people in our history. That she is part of the reason 18 veterans a day are committing suicide. She's a NWO hack. She's adovcating LOST for God's sake. If we break this election cycle down to nationalists vs. globalists then we have no choice. But if you don't think our rights come from god and/or natural law go ahead and vote in the 1 party system. I assure you the UN doesn't believe that our rights come from anyone other than themselves. Soros' NWO is the least of your worries, it's all his friends, and they own the media. Could this explain the media blackout of the only candidate to sponsor a bill to get us out of the UN? Nah… that's ludicris… Sigh.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:01amHey JUST, out of curiosity, who do you think would be a good Veep choice for Romney? I know you are writing in RP either way………
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:19amThat's an intriguing question. I really would prefer that people inside the Liberty Movement avoid being associated with Romney on one hand, but would feel like we made a difference in the platform on the other. A lot of people are saying Rand, but I'd actually prefer he have his hands clean of the progressive neoconservative menace for a 2016 run. I guess in this situation, I'd say Demint. He's not perfect, but is at least listening to us and is saying that they really should incorporate some of our ideas. And, of course he voted nay on giving the president the power to waste Americans without a trial. That's just off the top of my head with minimal thought behind it.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:43amGreat answer, Just.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:43am@Just…..more tactful than the way I would've answered. I would answer more like "I know you won't be ordering the turdburger….but what condiment would you like to see put on the turdburger?"
No offense, CoPatriot…really…just funnin'. -
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:20pmI don't dislike Romney…he's probably a decent fellow….a very naive fellow…but decent. To go from Bush to Obama…then to Obama/Bush…is out of the question for me. I will write-in Paul or vote Constitution Party or Libertarian Party. If Romney is the nominee (He isn't yet)…he will take my State easily, regardless of my vote…but I can still make a difference…be it a small difference.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 2:19pmRomney is naive, I believe…and an overly ambitious yes man…an "I'll do and be whatever you want…just give me the job…I want to be President real bad" kinda guy…but decent.
Sorry for all the posts.
Posted on July 15, 2012 at 10:16amI agree with you, JUST. While I really like Rand and think he would make an excellent VP choice, he should steer clear of the mess. Romney was never my first choice. In fact, he was near the bottom of my list in the primaries. I appreciate your and RISE's positions. I just can't bring myself to throw away my vote knowing there is no way RP can win. While Romney is no prize and may merely slow the destruction, this country will surely fall if 0bama get another four years. Demint would be a good choice. There is no way I want Condi on the ticket. I know you take issue with a few of his votes but my preference is still Allen West.
Thanks for your thoughtful response, JUST. And no offense taken, RISE. That was funny!

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:37amWhen Condi was on Hannity's show about 6 months ago she shocked me with several of her comments. She reveals in her book that she disliked Cheney and Rumsfeld ( the only good members of Bush team). She refused to engage Hannity in criticizing Obama saying we need more"compromise" in Washington. She would not endorse any aspect of the Tea Party calling them "divisive". And worse of all she criticized the 2010 class of Republicans blaming them equally with Obama for failure to compromise. I will not vote for this ticket. Romney/Rubio or ROmney/Jindal much better choices.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:03amYep, she is a CFR goon. But a nice lady.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:10amIf you read his book, you'll find that Cheney is no fan of hers either.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:58amThere are most certainly better options for VP out there.
I think Condi is an example of somebody that is great in the classroom – staying in the classroom.
Mitt has to be a little careful here, or he's gonna deflate some of us that are already deflated. I'll be honest that I don't like ANY of the names being bandied about: These are either no VP material, or they haven't been vetted in a way they'll be safe from the leftist media, not enough political experience or they're just RINO's.
I like Rand Paul as a candidate because he's got huge stones, but I know he'd **** heads early and often with Mittens, so that would never happen.
I'd love another "Palin" moment to fire us up, but then I remember we're talking about Romney here. If he picks that candy-assed, slick-looking, RINO Bob McDonell, I swear I will vote for Gary Johnson.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:36amDon't like her for VP. It's like bringing GW back. I am SICK of the Bush's, Clinton's, and all the other same old faces. Let's get some new blood in there – real freedom fighters – people like Ron or Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Allen West, just to name a few. Romney is milk toast enough and beholdin to the establishment. There should be a sharp contract in the VP choice (there won't be, though)..

It's the same thing really – making God's decisions for him, just as well as people are married in that they are twain yet one, but do not know it, but yet people plow the ground and strangers marry strangers – that's a choice you make for God also whether or not it is God's choice.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:32amDoes family include the child being slaughtered? THAT is the core of the conservative oppostion to abortion. It has NOTHING to do with a woman's "choice" (the one she made when she engaged in sex…which is why conservatives offer an exception in the case of rape or incest, as well as situations where the woman's life is in danger) and EVERYTHING to do with the life of a child.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:36amSo murdering babies is a personal choice? Good for you…now go wipe that baby blood off your hands before God sees it….Idiot.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:48amPro Choice? BS! These Women make a choice.
They chose to have unprotected sex and with their choice comes a responsibility.
In some cases a SID, in others a pregnancy….
Instead of slaughtering your child, deal with it! -
Posted on July 14, 2012 at 12:59pmWhat is so surprising to me is that my fellow conservatives cannot see the left is up to their old tricks again.

Getting Obama out of office is the ultimate goal!

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:24amAgreed….I see it as pandering to blacks and women.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:42amThey can pander all they want. But just because you elect a black female for VP, does NOT mean you are going to get black and female votes.
Posted on July 14, 2012 at 11:29pmMost Blacks don't like Condi.. Romney doesn't need to pander to blacks…he will only get 3 or 4% of their vote and they are only 15% of the contry's population, and only 25% of that 15% are eligible to vote anyway. It is a negligible number. Romney's a businessman and he will see that trying to get the black vote is moot.
There are a lot of better choices to try and get the female vote. Bachmann, Rubio, Ryan.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:15amYour poll is poorly worded. Absolutely, it would impact my vote. I would be much more inclined to vote for a Romney-Rice ticket, but I don't think that's what some people would have in mind.

Too many people have the idea that if you are 'pro-choice' you think that all pregnancies should be terminated. On the other hand, if you are 'pro-live' even spontaneous abortions should be outlawed.
I know many of you don't agree with me, but there has to be a middle ground.-

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:44amI was gonna post and say the same thing..but thought I'd read some posts and see if some one thought the same thing. This poll is stupid. Do I LOVE abortions?….Of course not. But is it my place to tell women they cant?….Of course not. IMO, Condi would be a great choice.
Posted on July 14, 2012 at 11:36amAnyone here who remembers when the old saying, "as safe as a baby in it's mother's womb", actually meant really being safe? Never hear that saying anymore, it's gone with other words you don't hear anymore, like "ashamed" and "responsibility".
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:13amLook I don't care what these people believe in as long as they DON'T believe in taking my right to believe what I CHOOSE to believe in away from me. I've never minded having to honestly debate these issues with people that disagree with me. That used to be one of the things that made this country great. We had the freedom to openly debate these things in an honest fashion and sometimes just agree to disagree. No I think Rice is an honest enough woman and intelligent enough to debate this issue with integrity and could possibly be convinced that it's wrong. I think she well beyond those in power now, is definitely a resonable intelligent common-sense woman that could be convinced with logical factual info and be open-minded enough to possibly change her position on it. All hope is not lost on a woman like her even if she currently disagrees with my position. Just sayin!

You buy into the propaganda that only government can solve our problems. You can stand on your roof and scream for help from the government, I am motivating pro-lifers to use their God-given power to solve the problem. No politician has the guts or political power to end abortion. None.
Get your friends to open their moth-eaten wallets and save some babies.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 12:07pmWe need a conservative in the VP posiistion, not a moderate. Plus all the old Bush bagage is going to be used against her. Rice is not a good choice!
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:27pmCrisis Pregnancy centers do not provide medical care . They deceive young women who come to their clinics and distribute medical misinformation on abortion and contraception. In some states they even advertise under Abortion in the yellow pages to lure unsuspecting women into their clinics.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:26amall that matters is that republicans win instead of democrats, right?
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 12:47pmIf you think voting in a republican president is going to change anything then your as deluded as the people you loathe…
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 1:52pmWe've got what we've got with Romney. The VP won't be setting policy so that's irrelevant. At this point what's relevant and most important is that Obama is defeated.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:10amCondi has made it clear that she WILL NOT BE Romney's VP – she DOES NOT WANT the position – SHE IS NOT INTERESTED. So, buzzing about her name is a dumb game. And yes, if she is pro-abortion, then she would be a problem. Romney needs to choose a conservative, pro-LIFE VP who will FIRE UP conservatives, not some old, progressive left-over from the Bush administration.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:20amTri-ox – I agree. She would not be my choice at all. Allen West would be a great VP or Sec. of State or Defense.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:23am@NHWINTER – YES! West is at the top of my list – he is EXACTLY the kind of VP that Romney needs!
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 2:51pmI don't believe she would take it either. It is simply a red herring
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:09amI am a strong conservative, but without religion thrown in. I think things through myself and have come to the same consclusion that Condi has on abortion. It is killing, it is not good, but…. the government shouldn't be involved in everything.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:41amThat is a ridiculous position. So do you endorse murder outside of the womb? Should there be government laws against murder? Perhaps you missed the part about "right to LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"……….
Copper Catfish
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 9:28pmRoe v Wade is not a Constitutional matter. You can't have liberty or the pursuit of happiness without life. It is a God-given right. The Supreme Court should not rule on an unalienable right. They overstepped their bounds. As a result, about 4000 babies are executed daily in the US without due process.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:06amIt matters that…. she is a LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE!

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:26amAgreed!!!!!!
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:01ami'm sorry, but how are you "mildly" pro choice? does that mean she only supports 50% of abortion requests? she IS pro choice. do you like that? Does it bother you? That is how you ask the question.

Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:20amSame reaction I had. Mildly? You either are, or aren't. Doesn't bother what she believes, a lot people are on the fence with this issue. Most don't condone killing, but that group also doesn't want government involved. Condi already has repeatedly said she will not accept a VP slot, so it is a moot point, anyway.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 10:59amI have no qualms with anyone wanting an abortion, having an abortion. I don't want those kinds of people reproducing. Also, people don't go through life having sex only for reproductive means. Contraceptives aren't perfect. Human behavior isn't perfect. Conception is not a miracle, it's biology. You had sex, you're now pregnant, I don't see the miracle. There are no brain waves in the first 42 days from conception, it is never more clear in that time frame it is a woman's choice to abort.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:10amPro cHoice can be made prior to sex and the decision to use condoms or some other type of BC. Not after the fact.
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 11:43am[Pro cHoice can be made prior to sex ]
Oh really Mr.Moral Fiber? Thanks for that. Good to know ALL humans are that freaking intelligent and ALL contraceptives are 100% full proof. -
Posted on July 13, 2012 at 8:26pmIf your daughter was raped by her uncle and the pregnancy would likely kill her, would you support an abortion? If you would, you are "mildly pro-choice" too. Think about it.
Posted on July 14, 2012 at 1:44pmI agree! Either you are or you aren't. You can't kinda be pro-life/pro-choice. It's like saying," I'm a little bit pregnant."

I decided to buy OSX Lion for my PC, and honestly I can't see why so many Mac users got so excited over an operating system that is little more than a tweak to it's predecessor Snow Leopard, which was little more than a tweak to Leopard and so on back through the various "tweaks" of OSX.
I've been playing about with it since yesterday trying to get a good feel for it. It's definitely better than Snow Leopard in looks and feel. It's still ugly as f***, but just not quite as fugly. Was it worth the £21, sort of. Would it be worth paying the money for a Mac to get it...... not on your effing nellie, not even a Mac Mini.
The Mac app store is filled with oooohhhs & aaaahhhs and best ever comments. If I could be bothered leaving one it would be... "is this it". In my opinion these are not "new versions", they are service packs... a £21 service pack. So when I say it was sort of worth the £21 it was not that the OS itself was worth the £21 but that it was certainly worth NOT having to buy a Mac to use it.

Chesapeake Bay is 200 miles long, but that's not the only reason it's the United States' largest estuary. The Bay also serpentines off into hundreds of rivers and creeks, accessible with South River Boat Rentals' vessels. Seafarers explore the estuary's fringes in the powerboats and sailboats, cruising past historic sites, such as Jamestown and Tangier Island. Alternatively, fishing parties set sail for piscatorial hot spots, casting from the boats' decks. To teach newbies the ropes before they hit the water, the company's team hosts sessions on boating basics, from steering to stopping at fish crossings.
In October, representatives from regional, local, and national craft breweries gather inside the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium to pour samples of geek-lovers brews. Visitors sip on signature standards from breweries such as Oskar Blues, Union Craft Brewing, Old Dominion, Starr Hill, Heavy Seas, and Flying Dog Brewery, along with special varieties of bourbon-barrel-aged stouts, whiskey-barrel-aged ciders, and hearty IPAs.
When not enjoying beer-related activities, festival-goers can check out one of the eight live bands playing all afternoon on two stages or take in the display of antique and exotic cars. The stadium catering company serves local delicacies such as Maryland crab cakes, shucked oysters on the half shell, and crab-and-cheese pretzels. More than 60 merchandise vendors offer artisan crafts and specialty food items.
For the last two years, runners from across Maryland have gathered for the Be Great 5K Run & Fun Walk to benefit the Annapolis Boys & Girls Scholarship Trust. The trust has provided financial support to more than 25 students to help them attend college over the last 10 years, and proceeds from the race go toward the scholarship fund. Before the race, runners are given a bib that tracks their time and pace better than an hourglass taped to their torso. After crossing the finish line, racers are rewarded with refreshments, and a lucky few are awarded prizes.
In one of the nation's most storied rivalries spanning more than a century, the Navy Midshipmen and the Army Black Knights have met on courts, fields, mats, and tracks and in pools more than 1,700 times. Though the fierce rivalry will always take priority among students, fan bases, media, and aliens debating whether to invade America by land or by sea, the Midshipmen have excelled against other competition, as well. The Naval Academy boasts NCAA Division II championships in women's indoor track and women's swimming, as well as 40 NCAA Division I individual championships, including 10 fencing champions, nine men's gymnastics champions, and eight men's swimming champions.
Inspired by visits to museums and amusement parks with their own kids, Thrill-O-Rama's owners Buki and Bibie mustered together an array of activities that entertain youngsters without skimping on education. Each of the facility's nine play zones features its own creative pastime, such as science experiments, educational computer games, age-appropriate reading, and a video-game lounge stocked with a Wii and an Xbox 360. A semi-enclosed toy-filled play space boosts toddlers' motor skills, and a multilevel indoor playground lets older kids shed their wiggles in a bounce castle or on a 15-foot inflatable rock mountain, which formed when an air mattress was stored under tectonic plates. Staff members guide kids through exercise, cooking, and filmmaking classes and adhere to strict safety guidelines to yield a secure play setting. The on-site café fuels romps with a selection of finger foods, drinks, and desserts.
A phosphorescent Frankenstein stands guard over a legion of glowing ghouls that loom throughout the black-lit corridors of Monster Mini Golf's 18-hole course. Framed by neon-green rails, the course's pitch black putting surfaces give the impression that luminescent orbs are either somersaulting in far-reaching pockets of space or rolling across the darkened cellar of your boss's punishment office, a murky abyss populated only by gothic tropes and the presumably undead. A live DJ soundtracks each birdie-hunting expedition with bone-chilling beats as players read putts or meander around the flashing lights of the adjacent arcade, where guests can wager a month's rent in games such as skee ball, air hockey, and Guitar Hero.

Beach Safety Tips
beach beach safety outdoor activities parenting parenting advice sunscreen swimming swimming safety vacation
If your summer plans include a family beach vacation, then there are a few things to know before you run into those waves. Before you embark on your trip, do a few checks first. Call the hotel or property where you're staying and inquire whether or not lifeguards are employed on the beaches. If not, and you have inexperienced ocean swimmers in your family, then you may want to stick with pools for swimming and the beach for just building castles. Another check to make before you leave is the water quality. Pollution and sewage does affect the shore, and that can make for an unpleasant vacation if you get some sort of bug. Water is tested fairly infrequently, however, so swimming in the ocean is pretty much at your own risk. The ocean obviously is less safer to swim in than a pool for many reasons.

Bully Sticks
Your Guys Rock. Fast delivery period. I love the products and so does the dog. I will buy again. Prices are the best~Anthony
Bully sticks
Just received our first order of bully sticks and my 6 month old Airedale pup loves them. They are nice and thick so they last a little longer than pet store bullies, and best of all - no smell!~dawn
Pleasure doing business with Your Company!
I found your company by doing a Google search on bully sticks. There were several websites but yours stood out and of course had the best prices.When I placed my order over the phone, the gentleman was so helpful , courteous and truly appreciated my business. I received my order yesterday and was so thrilled with the quality of the products. Not only do you have a new repeat customer but will tell all of my dog loving friends about my wonderful experience with your great Company.
Thank you so much!
~K. Miles
Great Product & Even Better Prices!
How great to be able to buy some quality Bully's at an affordable price! It can get expensive to find safe,natural and recreational chews. The best find was coming across your website! I have just placed my second of many orders to come, and will be sure to spread the word about your great products. Thank You.~Sandy Holt
WOW!!! and THANKS!!!
I have purchased bully sticks and other dog treats from many different places, both at storefronts and online. Your products are by far the highest quality & most affordable. We just received a ton of stuff, but I'm already planning my next order. Thanks so much!!! Kim in California~Kim
Trachea treats
I make my own longer lasting treat by taking a 12 inch trachea and stuffing it with green tripe sticks, a tendon, sometimes I will throw in a stuffed aorta. Best to do this outside where you can use the pavement to pound the fillings into the trachea. My golden retriever teenager (19mo) loves them.~Barbara Beach-Moody
Nitika is the epitome of customer service-Very unusual in this age of computers to find a company who knows how important a "live voice" can be when needed-BBS has superlative product at excellent prices-I was going to buy from Costco (known for great product and pricing); after reading customer comments, discovered that the yams I wanted had caused renal failure in their dogs! That's when I knew BBS would be my only supplier of treats-And after my call to place the order, speaking with Nitika confirmed it-Thank you BestBullySticks-~Rebecca
Happy Chompers
I am really happy that I can now give my little Bichons a healthy chew treat that I can actually afford. And my son's Husky, who normally gulps her chewies down and then throws them right back up, does NOT throw up Best Bully Sticks! I was in Panama for a while and the beef there is definitely free range and so incredibly delicious. I hand out treats to my neighbors' dogs as they are walking by...it is a great way to make new friends, both human AND canine! Once again, thanks so much for your pricing. Healthy and affordable...whew! P.S. I'll try to antler chews on my son's Husky and let you know if she actually chews it and doesn't just swallow it.~Karen, Blaine, WA
Bully Sticks
I decided to give your Bully Sticks a try. I am so glad I did! I have two miniature dachshunds and these are the only thing I have found to keep them both interested for a long period of time and they are so excited to get a new stick each time! I will no longer waste money at the pet store on things that I wind up throwing in the garbage anyway! Thanks Best Bully Sticks!~Sherry Tiffany
Fantastic Service and TREATS
My dog Truman absolutly loves his bully sticks. When ever I pull one out for him, he wiggles with excitement and he chews on that bully until it is done. Whenever we have company over who have dogs themselves, we always give them one to bring home to their dogs. We only receive positive feedback from our friends. They are too good not to share with others. To top it off the service is fantastic too! we love our bully's from best bullys and I would recommend them to anyone!~Charlotte Cahaney
Casbah loves her bullystick.
Casbah was very happy when her order arrived. Bullysticks are her favorite thing in the world.~Shelley
Great Service
Great site, received my pups Bully Sticks within 3 days of placing the order & on a Saturday!!! Thanks will definitely be my main source for Bellas bully sticks from now on.~Aracely
My pit bull LOVES these treats!
I am so glad I found Best Bully Sticks and so is my "Baby Bear". He absolutely LOVES his treats and knows when the box is delivered he gets to open it! I enjoy knowing he's getting healthy snacks, too!~Georgia
Smart Furbabies
Your chicken jerky is the greatest, only problem is I have to hide them behind locked doors. I have 2 shihtzus and s shihtzu/poodle mix and I have to either lock the treats up or hang them from the ceiling these days. They have learned how to unzip zippers. They unzipped a bag I had left out( it had an afghan I was making in it) and I went to do some shopping when I got home they unzipped the bag never hermed the afghan and removed a 4lb bag of the (only 3 sticks had been removed) and they ate every last one that was left in the bag. You turned my furbabies into piglets. Can't wait for next shipment to arrive. I will lock them up. Mary~Mary Schroer
The Customer Service was Excellent
I recently ordered 30 six-inch bully sticks from you and I just wanted to let you know that they are GREAT! I have three Jack Russell terriers who are VORACIOUS chewers (to say the least) and I discovered bully sticks a few months ago. They last a very long time (the only thing that outlasts them are cow hooves), but I HATED the smell even more than the smell of wet hooves... P.U.! I am glad to recommend your company. The customer service was excellent, the product is high-quality and extremely affordable, and the shipping was very quick. These bully sticks are GREAT! You'll be getting lots of orders fromme in the future. Take care!
~Sarah, Coram, NY
so happy I found you
I have a two-year-old rat terrier. He's ten pounds of the toughest little chewer you can imagine. He carries a bully stick with him everywhere he goes, chewing on it throughout the day and when he's settling down to nap. I truly believe bully sticks have saved my sanity, and possibly his life. As long as he has a bully stick, he isn't trying to eat rocks and furniture and stuff that could kill him.~S. Parker
The best ever
I have been ordering bully sticks from bestbullysticks.com for the past two years. The prices are great and shipping is so fast! My dogs absolutely love them. The quality is always good. I don't like to buy food products from China or India so I choose to order here. Only the best for my canines. :-)~Sonya
Great Products
Great products! I've been ordering from you for a while now. I have a 120lb. German Shepherd puppy! He loves everything I've ordered. He knows when a box gets delivered here, it's for him. Shipping has been very fast too. Thanks.~sandra r.
These are the best!
My dogs LOVE these bully sticks and we love the fact that they are truly orderless and a great bargain. Even after hours of chewing they don't smell like regular bully sticks. Will continue to order from Best Bully Sticks!!~Dianne

Remember When We Said Man of Steel's Jimmy Olsen Might Be a Woman? We Have New Info On That.
by Rebecca Pahle | 12:30 pm, May 16th, 2013
Earlier this year speculation arose that Man of Steel might be genderswapping Jimmy Olsen. There's no Jimmy in the movie, the theory goes, but there is a Jenny Olsen, and she's seen in the trailer running away from an explosion with Perry White, which would seem to suggest that she has something to do with the Daily Planet. After that initial rush of "OMG they might genderswap Jimmy Olsen, that would be so cool!," the whole thing kind of died down.
Until now. If this new detail we've seen is true, you can count that rumor as…

Product Information
Related ProductsPublisher's DescriptionThe set includes: Little House in the Big Woods, Little House on the Prairie, Farmer Boy, On the Banks of Plum Creek, By the Shores of Silver Lake, The Long Winter, Little Town on the Prairie, These Happy Golden Years, and The First Four Years. Little House in the Big WoodsWolves and panthers and bears roam the deep Wisconsin woods in the late 1870's. In those same woods, Laura lives with Pa and Ma, and her sisters, Mary and Baby Carrie, in a snug little house built of logs. Pa hunts and traps. Ma makes her own cheese and butter. All night long, the wind howls lonesomely, but Pa plays the fiddle and sings, keeping the family safe and cozy. Little House on the PrairiePa Ingalls decides to sell the little log house, and the family sets out for Indian country! They travel from Wisconsin to Kansas, and there, finally, Pa builds their little house on the prairie. Sometimes farm life is difficult, even dangerous, but Laura and her family are kept busy and are happy with the promise of their new life on the prairie. Farmer BoyWhile Laura Ingalls grows up in a little house on the western prairie, Almanzo Wilder is living on a big farm in New York State. Almanzo and his brother and sisters work at their chores from dawn to supper most days -- no matter what the weather. There is still time for fun, though, especially with the horses, which Almanzo loves more than anything. On the Banks of Plum CreekLaura's family's first home in Minnesota is made of sod, but Pa builds a clean new house made of sawed lumber beside Plum Creek. The money for materials will come from their first wheat crop. Then, just before the wheat is ready to harvest, a strange glittering cloud fills the sky, blocking out the sun. Soon millions of grasshoppers cover the field and everything on the farm. In a week's time, there is no wheat crop left at all. By the Shores of Silver LakePa Ingalls heads west to the unsettled wilderness of the Dakota Territory. When Ma, Mary, Laura, Carrie, and baby Grace join him, they become the first settlers in the town of De Smet. And Pa begins work on the first building in what will soon be a brand-new town on the shores of Silver Lake. The Long WinterThe first terrible storm comes to the barren prairie in October. Then it snows almost without stopping until April. Snow has reached the rooftops, and no trains can get through with food or coal. The people of De Smet are starving, including Laura's family, who wonder how they're going to make it through this terrible winter. It is young Almanzo Wilder who finally understands what needs to be done. He must save the town, even if it means risking his own life. Little Town on the PrairieThe long winter is over. With spring come socials, parties, and "Literaries." There is also work to be done. Laura spends many hours each day sewing shirts to help send Mary to a college for the blind. But in the evenings, Laura makes time for a new caller, Almanzo Wilder. These Happy Golden YearsLaura is teaching school, and it's terrifying! Most of the students are taller than she is, and she must sleep away from home for the first time. Laura is miserable, but the money is needed to keep Mary in a college for the blind. And every Friday -- no matter what the weather -- Almanzo Wilder arrives to take Laura home to her family for the weekend. Laura and Almanzo are courting, and even though she's not yet sixteen, she knows that this is a time for new beginnings. The First Four YearsLaura and Almanzo Wilder have just been married! Their life on a small prairie homestead begins with high hopes. But each year seems to bring unexpected disasters -- storms, sickness, fire, and unpaid debts. These first four years call for courage, strength, and a great deal of determination. Always, though, there is love, especially for the newest member of the family -- baby Rose. Author BioLaura Ingalls Wilder was born in 1867 in the log cabin described in Little House in the Big Woods. She and her family traveled by covered wagon across the Midwest. Later, Laura and her husband, Almanzo Wilder, made their own covered-wagon trip with their daughter, Rose, to Mansfield, Missouri. There, believing in the importance of knowing where you began in order to appreciate how far you've come, Laura wrote about her childhood growing up on the American frontier. For millions of readers Laura lives on forever as the little pioneer girl in the beloved Little House books. Garth Williams began his work on the pictures for the Little House books by meeting Laura Ingalls Wilder at her home in Missouri, and then he traveled to the sites of all the little houses. His charming art caused Laura to remark that she and her family "live again in these illustrations."Product ReviewsProduct Q&AOther Customers Also PurchasedFind Related ProductsAuthor/Artist Review |
