GOP Dream Team

By: denisemcnamara (Diary)  |  June 14th, 2011 at 02:18 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

With the announcement by Michele Bachmann that she has officially filed her paperwork to run for POTUS, the total number of GOP candidates has increased to seven. All seven candidates performed well in last night’s CNN Debate, despite the annoying moderator John King. Any one of them would be a significant improvement over President Obama. Every one of them brings something to the table. Here is my dream team for 2012. Feel free to disagree. Things will no doubt change before Election Day. More candidates will enter the race. Some candidates will stumble (as Newt, sadly, already has.) But if it were totally up to me, there is plenty of room for every one of these leaders. We need them! If only we could convince them to work together.

President – Michele Bachmann (first female Republican nominee for President)

Vice President – Herman Cain (first black Republican nominee for Vice President)

Secretary of Treasury – Ron Paul

Secretary of Commerce – Mitt Romney

Secretary of State – Newt Gingrich

Secretary of Labor – Tim Pawlenty

Attorney General – Rick Santorum

Secretary of Defense – Rick Perry

Secretary of Energy – Sarah Palin

And that’s a dream team. If we could all work together, this group would be pretty amazing. The Democrats would be totally outgunned. Oh, to dream.

    Seriously, Newt’s true love is educating young minds, let him have at it.

    If he manages to completely gut and/or shut down Dept.Education, then give him something else to kill.

      What’s more, I could see him succeeding in it extremely well and doing our nation a great service in the process.

      • izoneguy

        Along with the EPA & The Dept’s of Labor & Energy.

        • acat

          I figure he can shutter one agency per year.

      Although after the debate the other night and Newt’s answer about Muslims and Communists, I actually thought about him for National Security Adviser or Sec of Homeland Security.

      I think somebody else recently made the comment that everyone running should have a place in the next administration. That would truly be an inspiring thing to see happen. If they all want what’s best for this country, once the nominee is selected, they should band together as a team and figure out who gets what job. Imagine the possibilities if they could set aside their egos and work together.

      Cain as Sec of Commerce?
      Paul as Sec of Treasury? (Might be going too far but would be fun to watch.)
      Bachmann as Attorney General?

      I think Christie would make a good SecofEd. He’s stood up to the unions and would do it at the federal level, At least until we can get rid of the dept.

      Despite having staff quit on him, Newt is carrying.

      Newt has become more radioactive than Palin. The real purpose for Newt’s campaign is to promote Newt’s books and DVDs. Last night on Greta, Newt was hawking his new book. Newt’s former staff workers wanted to win an election, not sell things.

    Gotta flip around Bachmann and Cain

  • imurdaddy

    . . . Chris Christie or Herman Cain for Prez: Nikki Haley or Michelle Bachmann for Veep

    All of these candidates are “executives”. They all have skills to delegate and articulate the position of an executive, which is something that is missing now in the White House. I am an independent voter, but we all agree that there is waaaay to much floundering and lack of focus at the Excecutive Branch. We are way too bogged down in minutia on issues that will take us the bankruptcy court as a nation. Very scary times for the USA. Any or all of these 4 people have real leadership skills, and actually any of them would be successful as president. STOP THE PRINTING PRESSES now at the Treasury, and restore our US currency and confidence. The time is now!!

  • calvtob14

    I’m not a huge fan of Cain I think he’s a keynseian with absolutely no clarity, and I think Bachmann is more veep material IMO. I say Rick Perry/Bachmann but yours sounds OK aswell

  • rightwingmom52

    Got anything to back that up? I’ve been listening to Cain for a good while now and have heard nothing to indicate that.

  • calvtob14

    Cain still supports TARP in theory, and he was also against an audit of the Fed. This probably makes me sound like a Paul fan, but trust me I’m not. I despise his foreign policy and his ideas on morality (marriage) are just plain WRONG. But still, Cain is a keynesian because of his stated policy positions. Rick Perry/Bachmann 2012

  • lineholder

    when he made the same claims of Cain being a supporter of Keynesian economic theory. Still waiting, for that matter.

  • lineholder
  • acat

    Never met anyone who actually succeeded in business who’s a Keynesian.

  • rightwingmom52

    I’m about halfway through Breitbart’s “Righteous Indignation.” One of the points he makes that really struck me is how many times we play defense (e.g., if I had tried to defend the position that Cain is not a Keynesian) rather than demanding proof of an assertion. Unless and until caltvob14 provides evidence, his claim is baseless and deserves no further consideration. Plus, I’ll take all future comments with a grain of salt as well.

  • calvtob14

    I didn’t actually see your comment the other day…my point about him being a Keynsian was proven at the debate when he said TARP was a good idea, but he didn’t like the way it was implemented. I used to support him, and I could handle his Fed problem….but TARP is too much IMO, and only a keynsian would support it.

  • lineholder

    Regardless of what the outcome of this election might be, IMO, it’s actually a good thing that Cain is in this race. The fact that I’m looking at it in a positive context has to do with articles like this one

    http://thyblackman.com/2011/06/15/herman-cain-candidacy-catapults-black-conservatives/

    Now, I don’t know where the author got the stats, but what is stated is that 24% of black people in our country see themselves as conservatives. 24% !!! Yet Obama got 95% of the black vote in 2008?

    Cain’s presence in the race is generating a lot of interest in conservatism , particularly in this sector of our population, and this could be just the beginning of some major changes politically in our country.

    It just rubs me the wrong way when folks make random claims just for the sake of being negative.

    Keynes, the original Keynesian, grew wealthy as a result of very succesful speculation in financial markets. I’ve never known a succesful business person who believed that their business would prosper if spending went down.

    “Soon after Cain

  • lineholder

    So, Kemp was Cain’s mentor? I didn’t know that, but it doesn’t surprise me. Cain has a remarkably positive viewpoint regarding free market enterprise. Given the state of our economy, I appreciate his optimism very much. I hope it’s contagious. We could use a confidence booster right now.

  • calvtob14

    I suppose I shouldn’t speak until I’m informed, my mistake. He’s not a Keynesian I take it back, but I still can’t support him because of his TARP support. Perry/Bachmann 2012!

  • gekster

    Homer there was just throwing a bomb of missinformation.
    He didn’t respond because he couldn’t back up his dud.
    I wonder what he will say about the article.

    And you are welcome. :)

    I’m not. Cain is ten billion times better than Paul. The only two who I could never even consider voting for in the primary are Romney and Paul.
