I think it's totally wrong to call Condy a liar because she backed her President's policies...to everything there is a season, and for every person there is a time to speak out. We learned many lessons in the Civil Rights movement, one was certainly that to be heard, you have to rise above the din. I've said from the beginning that I respect Ms Rice and think that you would see a vastly different side of her if she were to become President. It's easy for folks on the sidelines to put her down for being a "good soldier", perhaps had they seen the things we saw in the 60's they would have a different take! Before you can change anything...you have to be in a position to do so! Politics by definition is the science of compromise...the trick is to safeguard your beliefs and integrity inside until a time when you can make a difference! I firmly believe that both Hillary and Condy are good folks...I can only hope that we get a chance to vote for one for President...both would be great!
