Women speaking at the RNC, Condi Rice, Susanna Martinez. Former secretary of state, governor of New Mexico. Women speaking at the DNC, Sandra Fluke, Eva Longoria. The campus slut and a woman who has the time because her show was cancelled.
You better believe the networks won't censor those girls.
Sandra Fluke - College student and Liberal Advocate
Eva Longoria - Actress and Liberal Advocate
Mia Love - Sarasota Springs Mayor
Susana Martinez - New Mexico Governor
Condi Rice - Former Sec of State
I can see the similarities.

Forget about whining over the media coverage, here is the speech:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvdYUBIN_6o]Condoleezza Rice RNC Speech 2012: Best Moments - 9/11, National Security, Debt, Education - YouTube[/ame]
Good evening. Distinguished delegates, fellow Republicans, fellow Americans.
We gather here at a time of significance and challenge. This young century has been a difficult one. I will never forget the bright September day, standing at my desk in the White House, when my young assistant said that a plane had hit the World Trade Center and then a second one and a third, the Pentagon. And then the news of a fourth, driven into the ground by brave citizens that died so that many others would live. From that day on our sense of vulnerability and our understanding of security would be altered forever.
Then in 2008 the global financial and economic crisis stunned us and still reverberates as unemployment, economic uncertainty and failed policies cast a pall over the American recovery so desperately needed at home and abroad.
And we have seen once again that the desire for freedom is universal as men and women in the Middle East demand it. Yet, the promise of the Arab Spring is engulfed in uncertainty; internal strife and hostile neighbors are challenging the fragile democracy in Iraq; dictators in Iran and Syria butcher their own people and threaten the security of the region; China and Russia prevent a response; and all wonder, Where does America stand?
Indeed that is the question of the moment Where does America stand? When our friends and our foes, alike, do not know the answer to that question clearly and unambiguously the world is a chaotic and dangerous place. The U.S. has since the end of World War II had an answer we stand for free peoples and free markets, we are willing to support and defend them we will sustain a balance of power that favors freedom.
To be sure, the burdens of leadership have been heavy. I, like you, know the sacrifices that Americans have made yes including the ultimate sacrifice of many of our bravest. Yet our armed forces remain the sure foundation of liberty. We are fortunate to have men and women who volunteer they volunteer to defend us on the front lines of freedom. And we owe them our eternal gratitude.
I know too that it has not always been easy though it has been rewarding to speak up for those who would otherwise be without a voice the religious dissident in China; the democracy advocate in Venezuela; the political prisoner in Iran.
It has been hard to muster the resources to support fledgling democracies or to help the worlds most desperate the AIDs orphan in Uganda, the refugee fleeing Zimbabwe, the young woman who has been trafficked into the sex trade in Southeast Asia; the worlds poorest in Haiti. Yet this assistance together with the compassionate works of private charities people of conscience and people of faith has shown the soul of our country.
And I know too that there is weariness a sense that we have carried these burdens long enough. But if we are not inspired to lead again, one of two things will happen no one will lead and that will foster chaos or others who do not share our values will fill the vacuum. My fellow Americans, we do not have a choice. We cannot be reluctant to lead and one cannot lead from behind.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan understand this reality that our leadership abroad and our well being at home are inextricably linked. They know what needs to be done.
Our friends and allies must be able to trust us. From Israel to Poland to the Philippines to Colombia and across the world they must know that we are reliable and consistent and determined. And our adversaries must have no reason to doubt our resolve because peace really does come through strength. Our military capability and technological advantage will be safe in Mitt Romney and Paul Ryans hands.
We must work for an open global economy and pursue free and fair trade to grow our exports and our influence abroad. In the last years, the United States has ratified three trade agreements, all negotiated in the Bush Administration. If you are concerned about Chinas rise consider this fact China has signed 15 Free Trade Agreements and is negotiating 20 more. Sadly we are abandoning the playing field of free trade and it will come back to haunt us.
We must not allow the chance to attain energy independence to slip from our grasp. We have a great gift of oil and gas reserves here in North America that must be and can be developed while protecting our environment. And we have the ingenuity in the private sector to tap alternative sources of energy.
And most importantly, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will rebuild the foundation of American strength our economy stimulating private sector led growth and small business entrepreneurship. When the world looks at us today they see an American government that cannot live within its means. They see a government that continues to borrow money, mortgaging the future of generations to come. The world knows that when a nation loses control of its finances, it eventually loses control of its destiny. That is not the America that has inspired others to follow our lead.
After all, when the world looks to America, they look to us because we are the most successful political and economic experiment in human history. That is the true basis of American Exceptionalism. The essence of America that which really unites us is not ethnicity, or nationality or religion it is an idea and what an idea it is: That you can come from humble circumstances and do great things. That it doesnt matter where you came from but where you are going.
Ours has never been a narrative of grievance and entitlement. We have not believed that I am doing poorly because you are doing well. We have not been envious of one another and jealous of each others success. Ours has been a belief in opportunity and a constant battle long and hard to extend the benefits of the American dream to all without regard to circumstances of birth.
But the American ideal is indeed endangered today. There is no country, no not even a rising China, that can do more harm to us than we can do to ourselves if we fail to accomplish the tasks before us here at home.
More than at any other time in history the ability to mobilize the creativity and ambition of human beings forms the foundation of greatness. We have always done that better than any country in the world. People have come here from all over because they believed in our creed of opportunity and limitless horizons. They have come from the worlds most impoverished nations to make five dollars not fifty cents and they have come from the worlds advanced societies as engineers and scientists to help fuel the knowledge based revolution in the Silicon Valley of California; the research triangle of North Carolina; in Austin, Texas; along Route 128 in Massachusetts and across our country.
We must continue to welcome the worlds most ambitious people to be a part of us. In that way we stay perpetually young and optimistic and determined. We need immigration laws that protect our borders; meet our economic needs; and yet show that we are a compassionate people.
We have been successful too because Americans have known that ones status at birth was not a permanent station in life. You might not be able to control your circumstances but you could control your response to your circumstances. And your greatest ally in doing so was a quality education.
Let me ask you, though, today, when I can look at your zip code and can tell whether you are going to get a good education can I really say that it doesnt matter where you came from it matters where you are going. The crisis in K-12 education is a grave threat to who we are.
My mom was a teacher I have the greatest respect for the profession we need great teachers not poor or mediocre ones. We need to have high standards for our students self-esteem comes from achievement not from lax standards and false praise. And we need to give parents greater choice particularly poor parents whose kids most often minorities are trapped in failing neighborhood schools. This is the civil rights struggle of our day.
If we do anything less, we will condemn generations to joblessness, hopelessness and dependence on the government dole. To do anything less is to endanger our global economic competitiveness. To do anything less is to tear apart the fabric of who we are and cement a turn toward grievance and entitlement.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will rebuild us at home and inspire us to lead abroad. They will provide an answer to the question, Where does America stand?
The challenge is real and these are tough times. But America has met and overcome difficult circumstances before. Whenever you find yourself doubting us just think of all the times that we have made the impossible seem inevitable in retrospect.
Americas victorious revolutionary founding against the greatest military power of the time; a Civil War hundreds of thousands dead in a brutal conflict but emerging a stronger union; a second founding as impatient patriots fought to overcome the birth defect of slavery and the scourge of segregation; a long struggle against communism that ended with the death of the Soviet Union and the emergence of Europe, whole free and at peace; the will to make difficult decisions, heart-wrenching choices in the aftermath of 9/11 that secured us and prevented the follow-on attacks that seemed preordained at the time.
And on a personal note a little girl grows up in Jim Crow Birmingham the most segregated big city in America - her parents cant take her to a movie theater or a restaurant but they make her believe that even though she cant have a hamburger at the Woolworths lunch counter she can be President of the United States and she becomes the Secretary of State.
Yes, America has a way of making the impossible seem inevitable in retrospect. But of course it has never been inevitable it has taken leadership, courage and an unwavering faith in our values.
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have the experience and the integrity and the vision to lead us they know who we are, what we want to be and what we offer the world.
That is why this is a moment an election of consequence. Because it just has to be that the most compassionate and freest country on the face of the earth will continue to be the most powerful!
May God Bless You and May God continue to bless this extraordinary, exceptional country the United States of America.

mud continues to use black people as tools.
Fact of the matter is, people that are interested in the RNC whine fest watch FAUX as the ratings show.
The few rational Republicans and anyone else remotely interested in watching probably watch C-SPAN. It's a non-starter for the networks to air.
But I am still laughing at the thought of mud watching four different tvs at once so he can focus on who isn't showing the Negro instead of actually listening to what the Negro has to say.

The other weird thing is how he thinks having Mia Love and Condoleeza Rice speak at the RNC somehow negates any legitimate concerns of women and minorities. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE that those faces and those voices are prominent at the RNC, but their mere presence shouldn't be regarded as some sort of free pass for legitimate concerns with some of the Republican party platform...

It's amusing to discover, once again, that black people are nothing but tools to the GOP. They don't care what the black republicans have to say, they just put them in front of the camera to point at the lack of interest the networks have in Condi, etc.
Instead of listening to Condi, mud is spending his time looking to see who isn't covering her.
Priceless.
Not Covering her, instead Covering the Fat White Man is the Narrative that you and the "Free Press" wants for the Right...
It is YOU who are using Race as a Tool and Defending those who do.
But you Know this... You are one of the Few who does.
peace...

Diamond Member
We got a storm folks 5.7 million without power, flooding, etc.
But they could Break out of that for the Fat White Man to Speak?...
You do Understand how Dishonest you are being in your Defense of the Defenseless, don't you?...
peace...
mal
Diamond Member
ALL THOSE SPEACHES WERE COVERED BY 15 OTHER CHANNELS.
Quit your paranoid whining!
Your acting like the networks didnt cover Condi at all and that it was because she was black and from Kenya !
But they covered the Fat White Guy...
peace...

Blubber boy was the keynote speaker. Condi was reduced to being just another GOP shill. More's the pity. She is a much better speaker than Christie.

Condi Rice - Former Sec of State

*not really*
Dude, will you please do research before you post. Google DNC convention scheduled speakers.
You are cherry picking info. I will give you a hint their are two minority women who are speaking. One is congresswomen and the other an attorney general. I highly doubt they will make prime time. I also highly doubt the two women you mentioned will make prime time.
I am going with them covering The keynote speaker, The first lady, Biden on two Networks, and then Bill Clinton and Obama. And maybe one more added in the mix. I am going with Caroline Kennedy because she is well liked.
We will see if I am right. And if I am I expect you to eat crow. You already should have since it is quite obvious the networks gave them a certain time slot for an hour a night. It was the RNC that decided not to feature them during that time slot.
If the RNC wanted Condi featured they should have scheduled her at the time the Networks game them air time.
Ya noticed how they moved Mrs Romney so she would be featured?
The major Networks gave both sides three hours. It was up to them to pick who they wAnted featured. Get the fuck over it.

Making fun of Fat People is so... Liberal.
The other Former Sec of State... What's her name?... She's Fat too, isn't she Ravir?...
Think the Networks would have Ignored Condi if she was Speaking for Obama?...
peace...
I was watching Condi Rice give a wonderful speech at the RNC and what is ABC, NBC, and CBS showing?
ABC was showing hurricane Issac footage, NBC was showing local news, and CBS had Bob Schieffer talking about unrelated issues.
Why are they doing this??????
Because they don't want America to see that a black woman is giving one of the most important speeches in the Republican National Convention.
Despicable. That's what it is.
The same Kindasleasy Rice that ignored the intell about 9/11 as National Security Advisor to Bush? THAT'S what she will be remembered for Sport.
wait a cotton picking minute here
are you saying condi rice is a nigra?
holy shit
Nigress Dolt!
The networks only showed an hour of it last night. When was Condi on? I'm sure they would have showed her if she was on at a relevant time. Goodness, do you all want the networks and MSNBC to show it in it's entirety?
Grow up.
Grow up.

Yes you were, because you didn't do your research and you posted false information.Mud pulled the race card and was wrong. And now he can't admit he was wrong.
Like I said the race-card implies game playing.
I wasn't playing games.
What was false?
I said the networks didn't air Rice's speech.
Was that false?
No.
Did I claim that Fox didn't air Mia Love's speech because she was black?
No. FART did.
Blubber boy was the keynote speaker. Condi was reduced to being just another GOP shill. More's the pity. She is a much better speaker than Christie.
I recorded it from MSNBC wasn't sure who was speaking last night. I'll FF through it to see blubber boy and if Ryan was on, I'll watch him.

Grow up.
So you accept that only one hour of coverage is sufficient?
Grow up?
They were covering the event off and on but were selective in their coverage.
