The false narrative is that the mean racist Republican Senators kept her from being Secretary of State, but they had no means to stop her. It is clear that influential Democrats behind the scenes wanted her out.

Forget Rice she was just a diversion from Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton who should have been the target by McCain and the other silly senators.

Such idiots those Senators are but then they are all part of the good old boys club which includes Clinton. She got a pass.

This country is a mess. How any GI/or good American could serve this country anymore is beyond me.

And if Jean F.Carre gets the nod for S of S- [he served in Vietnam of course] - I hope the Swifties are ready with an updated version of the book of truth.

This gives His Majesty a great opportunity to throw another name in the ring - Barack´s favorite communist/Truther Marxist subversive (and MSM heartthrob!): Van Jones. Who better to represent the current anti-American state of State than Van the Man? Granted, Hillary the Miracle Worker is a hard act to follow, but Jones´ seething, white-hot hatred of the US Constitution qualifies him well for whatever mission Dear Leader would assign him.

Don´t you actually have to be nominated before you can withdraw from something?

She is a disgusting figure on our national stage. She should be impeached, indited, charged with lying to the American People, and put in prison.....

My first thought was´Hooray for our side´ but on further thought, that monster in the WH will just propose someone equally odious, like another Van Jones kind of person. (He knows so many of those.) Hey, why not one of the Kardashians?

Rice is in the full martyr mode and will hope to be elevated to Sandra Fluke´s level as she was criticized. She will now be used as a tool against the right.

When tossed against the wall, accusations of GOP racism didn´t stick this time, and that is a dangerous thing for the left.
.... The ´race card´ is how they win elections.

Nothing is ever as it seems in Washington and I don´t believe for one minute that she ´voluntarily withdrew´. Since when has this bunch ever cared about anything being costly and devisive? Obama´s own party was going to balk on this one. And they can shove their racist card. Being black does not sheild you from any and all criticsm.

#5 ty i asked the same thing...why didnt she just keep her mouth shut.........wanted more of her 15 minutes i guess......and ty mccain but honestly i think susan collins put the real squeeze on her...who would have thought that one....in any event.....time to get on the next candidate that hasnt been nominated.,..john francois skerry..................

kommie kerry will face the same truths he had to face from us Swifties before.We are a little older now and a few less but we will continue to defend this Country just as before.

Let´s look at character - Obama defended her saying the Republicans were talking badly about her. (he´s defending someone who lied - lack of character). She´s the one who went on tv and lied to the nation. If she was just a mouth for someone else, then she doesn´t deserve to serve the country in any way. She should have looked into it. Again, the death of the 4 people are being side tracked by this circus.

Well -- "one" good decision and many more to go if America is to survive this nightmare administration....

NOW -- if you think this ole lady believes that susan stepped down -- I´ve got some Hancock Building stock to sell you....

She was told to step down as part of some deal. I wonder WHAT of me/and/mine boener gave away....

#1 is correct. The story isn´t about the Republicans who recently criticized Rice. It´s the silence from Senate Democrats.

I wish this was about incompetence but I suspect it is mostly about personality. Over the last 20 years Rice has rubbed too many people the wrong way. It was reminiscent of what happened when Bush 41 named the abrasive John Tower to Defense.

Well..even the Bamster has so much political capital. He´s going to be spending alot of it quickly in the next few weeks. I do think that the Dems sent a silent message on this and he took heed.

The bus claims another. If they are looking at Kerry, they are seriously out of ammunition.

Benghazi is still a story that will be told. Maybe in the next couple of years. Maybe longer.

Yeah, agree it was a group decision for her to withdraw. Bamster is off the hook, avoided the sausage grinder confirmation fiasco and Rice didn´t have to go through rejection. It´s that soft approach for getting rid of a liability.

Word had it on Foxy news that pubs sent a message to Biden last week that it was a "no way" confirmation and even democrats had contested her. Did the DC fool learn anything, that once you hire a henchwoman to make the rounds with lies and spin, they´ve lost all credibility once exposed? Probably not. His affirmative action mindset of hiring people with no record, a poor record or recently discredited is on full power. The less the nominee has done the more eligible they are.

I love the way it was spun as "taking herself off of the list", as if she had the list for the day, like a library book someone checks out! ha ha ha ha.

Yes, the GOP says they´ll confirm Kerry. Morons.

Rice should thank the Lord and Savior for helping to destroy her credibility.

She isn´t out because of Republicans. She is out because the media started printing stuff put out by the lefty base. All the ´old white men´ garbage went away when the stuff started coming out about her oil industry investments in Canada. From the LEFT, not the right. When you lose that base, nothing left to do but pull back and regroup. The Pubs had nothing to do with this.

And then there is Hagel. Beloved by CAIR.

Hater of Israel.

Perfect fit for O.

Deflection, misdirection, street theatre and simple BS.

Stay on topic.

1. Arming al-Queda
2. Tearing down other nations
3. Embassy without armed guards
4. Stand Down!
5. Locals for "protection"
6. Inexperienced Brits with batons
7. Where were Benghazi police for seven hours?
8. Where was the Libyan military for seven hours?

etc

Unfortunately, Rice´s withdrawal was not followed by her being frog-marched out of DC, never to be heard from again.

She´s incompetent, -- all I needed to read was the account of her activities in Sierra Leone. She´s gotten the affirmative-action pass her entire "career."

We have to oppose Obama at every turn. There is no one that can do the job. Hillary is/was a disaster and frankly flying all over the world doing what she does(exactly what have been the results of her tenure there)really hasn´t helped the US at all. We are being ruled by morons and children and we have to figure out a way to stop this. I guess demandining answers from the Preezy is the first step. No more letter writing. He needs to be stopped. He is the one that allowed our people to be killed. We know it. He must be accountable with a punishment.

She´s a documented liar, there should be a job for her somewhere in "his" administration...

Don`t underestimate Obama nominating Bill Clinton as SecState and Clinton accepting.

Still no answers from the White House on Benghazi....

Still no questions from ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, PMSNBC, PBS, NPR....

Rice is collateral damage. The Big Prize is Obama!

So, the question is: What was she promised for stepping down?

Interstingly enough the entire Rice thing was kabuk. She was never officially appointed or "name-placed-in-nomination"
all smoke in mirrors to give cover hand bamboozle the american people.
Several layers to control the news cycle and to thwart any meaningful converstion on The sinking of the USA.
Imo, these murderers are programmed and they have help. Help that just fades into the woodwork, to wit becomes a postman, a groundskeeper, a bum, a guy dressed as a nerd,anyone that would not be noticed by most people.

Rice was a willing liar....Hillary, that PIAPS, always lies....Obama is a FRAUD....Kerry is a traitor, Biden is a doofus, Reid and Pelosi are crooks....so why do I feel similar indignation when McPain shows up on tv babbling some incoherent message? I pray for a leader that we conservatives and veterans can look up to and say..."SAVE MY COUNTRY"!!!

Okay- time to forget Benghazi- it´s now all about removing the 2nd amendment to the Constitution- Benghazi is so last month!
