Yesterday, Glenn Kessler in his Washington Post article, entitled “Rice’s pre-election appearances buck tradition — Secretary of State is expected to stay above the partisan fray,” reported on Condi’s pre-election activity with a rather critical tone. While Dr. Rice has largely avoided the megabuck politcal fundraising circuit with its infamous “rubber chicken” and photo [...]

What are the correct terms for homosexual couples and their family members? Somebody tell us. I, and perhaps you, have struggled with this one for a long time. I am so behind the times that I still struggle with how to refer to unmarried heterosexual couples, much less gay ones. (See side bar) In an [...]

The confrontation between the Clintons and Condi that erupted after Bill’s interview with Chris Wallace on September 24th was (is?) based on the claim, by Clinton, that he left behind a “comprehensive plan” on counter terrorism for the Bush administration when he left office. In making his point he relied heavily on Richard Clarke, author [...]

Hezbollah anti-Condi banner

It is disturbing to see criticism of Dr. Rice in the conservative blogosphere after her recent keynote address to the American Task Force on Palestine gala in Washington, DC, October 11, 2006. The dinner was held to honor a Republican Arab-American, (Blog editor’s note: Please accept our appologies for using a “hyphenated American” [...]

For those of us that are “Fox Fans,” we are used to the informal banter that goes on during Fox and Friends in the morning. Today, in a segue to the Sandy Berger investigation story, the morning crew began doing impersonations of the former Clinton official. During the segment, Condi — and her [...]

Our enemies in the Global War on Terror (GWOT) are economically dependent, in large part, on support from oil-exporting countries. As Secretary of State, Dr. Rice has spoken of how energy “warps” our foreign policy. Without much fanfare, Dr. Rice at the Department of State, in conjuction with the Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman (bio), has [...]

Life in Las Vegas taught me many years ago that if you want to truly understand something that you have to follow the money.  That’s what Secretary Rice did with her Mideast trip.
First, she makes an unannounced trip to Baghdad to deliver the message, “Get to work!  The meter is running.”  Then, she goes to Kurdish [...]

November 14th is a very special day: the birthday of Condoleezza Rice. We at Americans for Dr. Rice would like to make it one to remember.
Condi was born in Birmingham, Alabama during the segregation era. She had to endure domestic terrorism as a child : church bombs, Klan attacks, and police brutality. She persevered [...]

In response to Bill Clinton’s outburst to Chris Wallace on FOX News, Condoleezza Rice set the record straight.  Bill said that he did everything he could to fight terorism while president.  He said he even a left a complete plan on how to fight Al-Qaeda for Bush.  He then concluded that Bush did nothing for 8 [...]

Right, or wrong, celebrities play a large role in our nation’s political life.  It’s a point that shouldn’t be lost on us and our efforts.
It took Cher to turn the issue of better combat helmets into a newsworthy item.  And she was more successful than all of our generals, wounded veterans, etc.  (MSNBC, ABC)  Dr. Rice, being something of [...]

Condoleezza Rice has an interview in this month’s Essence magazine. I will warn you, only the first part of the interview is available free on the website. You have to actually buy the magazine to get the complete interview. They ask a lot of the tough questions, but Condi answers with confidence and intelligence as [...]

May you soon wave in the winds of liberty.

The following was sent to us by a student, and avid Condista, at Florida International University. Her name has not been used because she still has many family members in Cuba, and she fears retaliation against them if her anti-Castro activities became known. (And supporting Condi is [...]

Rumors that this is the Governor’s new executive vehicle are false.*

Yesterday, the Democratic Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico, and former Energy Secretary under Bill Clinton, spoke in response to President Bush’s weekly national radio address. (ABC) He took the opportunity to lecture the President and Dr. Rice about how America needs a “new realism” [...]

Stabbed in the back?

It is disconcerting to see Republicans bicker among themselves and jockey for political advantage. To those of us outside the beltway, the pettiness of these disputes is sickening. This week, Insight on the News, published an article, “Dump Condi: Foreign policy conservatives charge State Dept. has hijacked Bush agenda,” that is a [...]

Okay, folk, feeling the need to explain what makes Dr. Rice a stand-out secretary-of-state, I wanted to explain her fresh approach to the Middle East. Warning: this is a over simplification, but as I have been a teacher of young children the last umpteen years- what can I say, I am who I [...]

Yesterday, Dr. Condoleezza Rice made a surprise visit to Lebanon and onto Israel. The woman has her work cut out for her. Who else could do it? And do you really think all of this is going to end by week’s end? That would be a definite, “No.”

We need her. She’s the only person who [...]
