Campaigning toward 2008

After my devotion time this morning, an interesting thought occurred to me. I have already read where some are trying to make an amendment to enable the Governor of California to run for president, but that isn’t looking too likely. But I did find it interesting to discover that another popular Hollywood figure, known for his devotion was in fact an American citizen, who has just been living out of the country for awhile. I was shocked to see a website promoting Mel Gibson for president. What a concept, and he’s deeply religious, or so the movie reviews indicate. Now you may ask what are his credentials for the office of president? And to that I really don’t have an answer, other than to say, he certainly wouldn’t be the first actor in the White House. But I have gone a bit farther in my scenario and included Dr. Condoleezza Rice on the ticket. I am not sure that it really matters who would be President and who would be Vice. Clearly, the Republicans want a winning ticket, and I just think that combination is the Republican hope for holding their own against Hillary Clinton. The Republicans don’t really have a popular candidate and Florida’s governor has just had his hands too full to prepare for this, so I really won’t be surprised at all if they manage this particular combination. And, if you consider the two women . . . Hillary has literally worked for years laying the groundwork, but the platform she has produced is truly much more personified in Dr. Rice, than in Mrs. Clinton. Dr. Rice is the single woman that has literally accomplished so much on her own. Hillary is Mrs. Clinton. Dr. Rice is the one that works and travels and made the choice to actually succeed in “a man’s world.” Furthermore, Dr. Rice is not only a shining example to little girls throughout our country, but also to children of ethnicity. She is a powerful, black woman, and that is an exciting accomplishment, that should be duly noted, and worthy of votes. Dr. Rice is not hard-lined when it comes to the issue of abortion, but when it comes to pro-lifers, she is a religious conservative, and certainly closer to their views than Hillary has presented herself to be. And anyway, America loves a good fight . . .
Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise.
