Ron Paul in Obama's cabinet

September 12, 2008 by Blue Virginia

I admit that when Congressman Paul speaks, I agree strongly with about half of what he says.  The other 50% not so much.  It is for that last 50% that I didn't vote for him in the primaries.

Still, Congressman Paul has some very good points to make.  He speaks with logic, strength and intelligence, and he has resonated with a large chunk of independent and libertarian minded citizens.  When it comes to supporters (on this website) of personal liberties and social libertarianism, Ron Paul speaks our language.

Thus I will ask this:

Senator Obama, please consider asking Paul for a place in your administration or cabinet.

If you wish to govern the whole USA, choosing Congressman Paul as an advisor would do a lot to convince people that you will be everyone's president and that you will take diverse positions into consideration.

Abraham Lincoln welcomed his biggest rivals into his cabinet.  We are a big tent party.  If Obama does the same, it will help guide this country away from the Rovian "Us vs. Them" mindset that has sickened me for so long.

The Terrible Two: Romney And Huckabee Highlights

September 3, 2008 by admin

A few quick highlights from the speeches given by Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee:

* Romney, clearly still in the grip of the idea that Palin could still be dumped and make way for him to step into the Veep slot, rolled out a well-trafficked GOP fib, saying that Dems never mentioned radical Jihad during the convention. In fact, Obama referred to terrorism and Osama at least five times during his speech alone.

* Romney, former guv of Massachusetts, bashed eastern elites.

* Romney claimed that we need change from the "liberal" Washington where Bush has been president for eight years and the GOP ran Congress until two years ago.

* Huckabee, in a crowd-pleaser, said Sarah Palin got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla than Joe Biden did for president. This gag strikes us as ill-advised, because it draws attention to the fact that Palin got all of 616 votes in her quest for a mayoralty that GOPers are touting as proof of her preparedness to be commander-in-chief.

* Huckabee falsely suggested Abraham Lincoln founded GOP.

All this, and Rudy hasn't even spoken yet!
