What is your ideal RP cabinet?

[Starks]

Don't forget to omit any unnecessary departments... :D

[tnvoter]

i think duncan hunter would do well as secretary of defense

[kenc9]

I think Pat Buchanan would most likely be one of his first choices. Goldwater Jr.would most likely be in the mix as well.

my ron paul cabinet would have to be kidproofed so the baby couldn't get to all the cleaning products.

[jmarinara]

here's a list of the current positions in case you need to peak (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_Cabinet#Current_Cabinet)

I got to run, but I'll check in later with my thoughts.

Thomas Jefferson, George Washinton, Benjamin Franklin, Patrick Henry, Paul Revere, and George Orwell.

I was thinking Judge Nap for Attorney General -- but heck, he should run as Vice President --- he could give some incredible stump speeches highlighting the breaches of the constitution over the past 30 years.

Napolitano is a excellent speaker. I wonder if the Italian vote still counts for anything these days:D

[bc2208]

Who exactly is he?

[trispear]

Napolitano? Here is him speaking to give you a good idea. There is a boring speaking in the beginning, but Napolitano 2:35 into the first part so you can go right to that point:

Why in the bloody hell would we want to waste the talents of a great man like the Judge giving speeches and putzing around in the Senate?!!? He should either be sitting in an upper level appeals court, working as the Attorney General, or appointed to the Supreme Court.

I think Ron Paul ought to pick Tom Tancredo as his Vice Presidential Running Mate - they hold very similar views on many issues, although Ron is certainly the strongest candidate running, despite what the media want you to be manipulated into believing.

Now let's take a look at all of the other cabinet positions shall we? First let's look at who will be asked to clean their desks out and vacate the building the day after the election...

The telephone calls would go something this...While people are throwing confetti and dancing in the streets from one end of the country to the other!..

Get me the Department of the Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson, Jr...

Hello, Mr. Paulson? See ya!

Get me the Department of Education Secretary Margaret Spellings...

Hello, Ms. Spellings? Buh- buy!

Get me the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff...

Hello, Mr. Chertoff? Sorry it didn't work out.

Get me the Environmental Protection Agency Stephen Johnson ...

Hello, Mr. Johnson? You've been 86'd!

and so the day would wear on and on.

On day two, Ron Paul would then look at the stack of resumes and applications on his desk, and after carefully scrutinizing each one, would pick only the top candidates for the remaining three or four positions left in his cabinet.

"rrrrRrRrowwwhh" (cat noise)

Because someone with his talent for speaking would be helpful in pulling a lot of votes---and we still need to get RP elected first.

Oh yeah - he absolutely needs to be involved in the campaign, but I don't think he should be the VP by any stretch!

[foofighter20x]

As I've posted many times before:

VeeP - Mark Sanford
SecState - Sara Palin
SecDef - Dunno... Kwiatkowski, maybe?
SecTreas - Walter Williams
AG - David Iglesias (the NM federal attorney that the Bushies fired)
VA - Dunno...

Those would be the only departments I keep.

[quickmike]

Perfect Ron Paul cabinet............

Mitt Romney - official land mine sweeper when Ron Paul gets ready to pull the troops out of Iraq.

John McCain - Mitt's lackey assistant.

Rudy Ghoulliani - Department of ferrett relocation

Fred Thompson - Court Jester

Hillary Clinton - Official massage girl

and last but not least.............

John Edwards - Presidential Press Room Hairstylist.

My first thought was Walter Williams for VP actually.

I would not be sure about the whole cabinet... Maybe Jesse Ventura for SecDef or SecState? I wouldn't want a Tancredo or anyone else who is a hawk a heartbeat from the Big Chair or as SecDef.

Or to quote comedian Lewis Black on what he would do with a million dollars, he said he would hire someone to be his;

'Official Ball Washer'

[peacemonger]

Michael Scheur - Department of Defense
Judge Napolitano - Attorney General
Willie Nelson - Secretary of Freedom
Badnerick - Vice President (Or maybe Rachel Mills ???) - We definitely have to get Rachel in there somewhere.

I think that is all... The rest of the Departments can probably go away.

I can't stop laughing out loud picturing Mitt in the desert!

I can't stop laughing out loud picturing Mitt in the desert!

Yeah I was picturing the same thing. Mitt with an ascot around his neck dressed up in some yacht club outfit like the Howell's on Gilligans Island, bitchin about the heat and how his ankles hurt. Looking like a scared deer in the headlights stepping around looking for land mines, with McCain complaining about not getting his second lunch. Mitt -"just shut up and keep looking John................top tier my ass!!!"

The image in my head beats anything I could type here LOL

Hopefully anti-NAU people, people who wouldn't consider false flag terrorism, etc. I would hope for Badnarik in there somewhere, and pro-gold standard Greenspan would be hilarious and awesome. Some of the prior IRS people that quit and were part of America: Freedom to Fascism for other financial positions.

Alex Jones should be a head of some of the bigger government oversight groups.
