Glenn Beck Dream Ticket: Allen West/Michelle Bachmann w/ Ron Paul as Treasury Secretary

[Zatch]

Glenn Beck must mean he's a "fiscal libertarian" because I don't see how anyone can seriously claim to be a libertarian and support West/Bachmann over Ron Paul:

ok this is where we as Ron Paul supporters can react in 2 different ways
1. We can whine and complain and get pissed at anyone that does not endorse Rp as Prez and give up at even trying to get those Beck listeners into our camp or
2. Be happy a very popular guy like Beck wants our guy to be the sec of treasure and get those beck listeners to eventually come into our camp.

For us to have a shot at winning we have to adopt the second option.

Even the wrong ones want us running the treasury. Business-cycle carry traders and bond vigilantes, represent!

Yes indeed. Was it not that long ago when no-one listened to Ron Paul and everyone thought that he was a "crank" etc. To be considered Treasury Secretary is surely quite a good thing and shows that your message has become far more mainstream.

And besides, I understand the appeal of Allen West. He's well-spoken and articulate, a serious fellow who generally has his heart in the right place.

glad to hear this so that people stop thinking Beck is anything other than a neo-con war monger.

It's a much better image of Ron Paul now than Beck seemed to have of him in 2007.

While President Paul would be the ultimate prize, Ron Paul as Sec. Treas in any administration would be worth all the work his movement has done to date.

From his statement last night on Fox News it seems he will be running this time, but really if he doesn't win the Republican primary what better position to have him at?

Think about it, the power to audit Fort Knox... and the FED...,

Its Glenn Beck. Where is the unicorn for Sec. of Defense?

 

[cindy25]

he wants West to prove he is not a racist, but West brings nothing unless the Dems nominate Hillary. treas sec is nothing, as the cabinet serves at the pleasure of the president, and Ron Paul would be terrible taking orders from a neo-con

best ticket: Paul/Judge Nap

West at def, Schiff at Treas, Amash at State, Kucinich at UN, McKinney as Ambassador to Palestine, Mitt at Trans, Palin at energy; Newt at Ed, Nap as concurrent Sec Homeland sec; Ryan at OMB, Sully at TSA....

 

[WilliamC]

I'd like to see Judge Nap as Attorney General rather than VP.

If Ron Paul is the nominee he will have to get someone more mainstream in order to win, even if it is someone with wrong-headed foreign policy views like Gingrich or Palin.

What Beck is saying is that Ron Paul's level of libertarianism is too much...

Think about it, Beckers...

Sorry, I don't understand the unicorn reference.

Ron Paul would have a great deal of power as Sec Treas in any administration.

Rand wrote kindly of West in his book if I'm correct. There is an excerpt in there about West citing the extreme inefficiency he witnessed in Afghanistan in terms of misutilizing military resources.

Don't get me wrong, I think Ron Paul would make a great treasury sec... But Vince Lombardi would have been a great linebackers coach... But do we want first round exits with good linebackers, or Super Bowl wins? Nolan Ryan would have been a great closing pitcher/relief pitcher... But do we want two/three great innings or a no-hitter?

 

[IndianaPolitico]

Think of it this way, 3 years ago would someone like Glenn Beck even mention Ron Paul? Going as far as wanting him as the Sec. of the Treasury? We have made progress!

Think about it. Would Hannity nominate Ron? Limbaugh? This is a big deal.

You think Ron Paul would be great at that position, just imagine who he'd pick... Progress is not destination...

The unicorn reference is crude humor directed toward mental illness. Blast me if you will.

Sure RP would make a great Sec Tres, but what a waste.

The intent of my original post is to point out the political arena is being influenced by people of diminished mental capacity; either delusional or just plain low IQ. As this country is being drug down by suicidal debt and war on a whim, should we be more selective in whom we take counsel?

In order to play professional football, you have to take a Wunderlic test so the employer can make a judgment on mental capacity. How well do you think Beck or Bachmann would do on that test?

 

[AGRP]

What you Libertarians fail to understand is that our founders wanted wars declared without congressional approval and the Patriot Act. That is why you fail to understand why people like Bachmann, West, and Perry are far more educated about the Constitution than people like Medina and Ron Paul.

Now, resume to your tin foil hat conspiracy theories!




Never trusted the shill since his fiasco with Medina.

I haven't researched it, but I think I can say with confidence that the Treasury Secretary can't do anything unless like that without permission. More likely is they would appoint him as Treasury Sec. so he resigns his congressional seat, then restrain him to the point he quits or is fired and is out of public office.
