[RED SOUTH]

Look whose way ahead ....hint ... it's not Herman Cain.

[ExTexasRedhead]

DeMint for me too.

[ridesthemiles]

Sure would like to see John Bolton as Sec of State with Palin/Pence.

The mockery of the USA would end immediately.

I would also like to see an end to foreign aid tht depletes this country, while rewarding our enemies.

Herman Cain playing games again. Pity that.

If he starts cutting into Sarah Palin, I might be tempted to ping the list.

Indeed. I don't think Bolton could make it thur the GOP primary as a first time candidate, but he'd probably raise his profile by entering the race and be in a good position to get a cabinet post in a GOP adminstration. Bolton would be ideal as SOS. We'd have a pitbull taking on our enemies, compared to the lack couple of hacks who got the job because the mainstream media demanded it.

And if Bolton derails Thune's chances, it would be the finest example of political karma.

[AmericanArchConservative]

yeah - agreed

I was first in on this thread with that notion (Post # 14)...plus as a bonus, I gave a nod to Petraeus for SecDef and filled a few other key slots...

Palin and Pence...yeah - that would be good!

In dreamland, after seating such a cabinet, President Palin would, in her first month in office, withdraw the US from the UN, cancel the UN’s lease on their NYC digs, fire all American UN employees, revoke the diplomatic credentials of all foreign UN reps, cancel all UN-designated US taxpayer funds and terminate all UN programs operating in the USA.

The next day, she would suspend the operations and order an audit of, the Federal Reserve, meanwhile placing the US imnmediately on the silver standard as an interim step to restoration of the gold standard...followed by simultaneous audits of Fannie and Freddie...

[Impy]

We desperately need a real conservative at the State Department. When was the last one? Beats me. Some freeper suggested Joe Lieberman a few weeks ago! Hell no.
