Here are some listener comments from our mail bag in reference to the Condoleezza Rice confrimation hearings.
chavez was elected. a referendum to remove him was defeated last year. the only thing the US government doesn't like about him is that he hasn't privatized the oil industry. D.B.
The problem is that walls are rigid, and letting reality in is essential to good decisions and personal growth. People like Biden and Boxer -- good, honest people -- need to criticize Condi Rice while winning her confidence and trust. This will take time, and voting against her won't help the process.R.T.
The Democrats are critical, yet still vote for the nominee (maybe not Kerry) ... I would respect the Republicans much more if they too would be critical (while not necessarily critisizing). Similarly, I would respect the Democrats more if they would vote in a manner consistent with their line of questioning.
In this regard I was very much impressed by Republican Lindsay Graham's (sp?) "grilling" of Attorney General nominee Gonzalez. C.P.
