What if Newt Offered Ron Paul a Cabinet Post? Treasury Secretary
January 21, 2012 | no dems

Posted on 01/21/2012 6:27:25 PM PST by no dems

There are a lot of people who say, "I like Ron's Paul's economics; I just don't like his foreign policy." I'm one of those. Whether I, or you, like it or not, he has a strong, youthful following. What if Newt promised to make him Treasury Secretary? That would almost surely, put the Youth Vote in the GOP Column and he would do a helluva lot better job than Timothy Geithner.

Just sayin'....

I think Ron Paul would take that Cabinet appointment. He's not running for Congress again.

Ron Paul is mentally unstable. He needs to be sent to pasture.

I, for one, would be a whole lot less likely to vote for him.

RoPaul is 76 years old.

No Way I want this doddering old fool making financial decisions.

Ron Paul is a F-ing nut Case.
Newt does not need any F-ing nut cases.

Newt would be in big trouble because that would be against the law.

His supporters would explode. They would consider that a sell- out to the establishment.

Ron Paul acts like a whiny 8yo the way he twists and turns at his lectern when answering a question like he has to go the the bathroom or something. His whiny voice is really irritating.

I’d love to see him run The Department of Health and Human Services.

Newt is not going to name Paul to anything. Unless Paul forced his hand on a 3rd party run.

No.

Just no.

I don't need a Cabinet secretary who is spending his time looking for Trilateralists and obsessing about pink money, thanks.
