A Possible GOP Strategy - an email I got today

[LadyEagle]

It’s going to be an ugly campaign. We all know it and we’re ready for it but it’s going to the ugliest and nastiest and dirtiest campaign in history.
If Romney takes this advice, it will send a clear message to the Republican establishment that conservatives aren’t going to do business as usual any more. It would shake the establishment and pull together conservative voters.

If he adopts this measure, HE would pull together the conservative vote.
Here is a little something else this would do…It would shake the Obama campaign to its core.

As soon as the 1,144 delegates are in hand, WHOEVER garners them either at the convention or before…put this into motion.

Rather than a leisurely march toward a VP nominee or a surprise VP announcement like we got in 2008, vet the possible VPs NOW and stand ready to announce the running mate in a nationally televised press conference the day after the delegates are in hand.
Make the VP choice…Allen West.

Having Congressman West in the VP slot makes him a TRIPLE THREAT and a VP who WILL redefine the role. Triple threat? As the Vice President he would attend to the regular duties and be a heartbeat away from the presidency. A Vice President West would also act as a second Secretary of State in difficult diplomatic negotiations. AND … A Vice President West would work in concert with the Secretary of Defense to realign our military and redefine its role.

Triple threat.

Oh but this is just the START of the strategy!!!
As soon as the nominee has introduced West as the running mate…THE NOMINEE WOULD THEN INTRODUCE HIS SECRETARY OF STATE NOMINEE …

John Bolton. As a former Ambassador to the United Nations there is nobody with a better handle on the world’s issues or more familiar with the players. John Bolton is tough, straight forward and not likely to appease ANYONE.

Now, you have the nominee on stage, the VP choice and the Secretary of State nominee …Let’s not stop there.
Next to walk onto the stage …

Sarah Palin…Nominee for Secretary of Energy.
Palin’s directive…Set us on the path toward energy independent in 10 years. Can you think of a better choice? Anyone more invested in that goal? Anyone who is more knowledgeable or adept?

I don’t.
Can you feel the ground starting to shake?
Next out of the wings and onto the stage…

The nominee for Secretary of Defense. Enter…General David Petraeus.
As great as he was fighting a PC war…Imagine what he’ll be like once he and West have pressed the reset button on our rules of engagement. In Petraeus we will have a Secretary of Defense whose mission will be to win. PERIOD.

Oh … I’m not done yet …..

Next up …The nominee for Attorney General … Pam Bondi.
Bondi is a no nonsense fighter who has taken on the current administration over Obamacare and WILL clean out the corruption rampant in that office today.
Okay, where are we? Who is now standing on the stage? The nominee…Allen West…John Bolton…Sarah Palin…General Petreaus and Pam Bondi.

How about a Secretary of the Treasury? We would need someone who has worked for YEARS in the tax field who understands the overwhelming burden of tax codes and who has, for years fought to restructure those codes.

Welcome Michele Bachmann to the stage …The nominee for Secretary of the Treasury.
By now, fissures should be opening in the ground, rumbling coming from the sky and the faint odor of brimstone should be in the air.

We will need someone new…someone with new ideas to head up the Fed.
Please welcome Ron Paul. Yes, I realize this, under Paul, will be a temporary position; but somehow, I doubt Ron Paul wants to make a career of running the Fed.

Secretary of the Interior? Governor Bobby Jindal … COME ON DOWN!!!!!

And finally … We need someone to head up the Department of Homeland Security. We must have someone who understands the issues we face. Someone who has worked in federal law enforcement. Someone who won’t take any crap from anybody.
Please … a round of applause for … Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Feel free to substitute names…add your own choices, but these are mine. The picks are only a part of the whole picture however. The impact is as important as the names.
Were the GOP nominee to do this…call a press conference and make such an announcement…It would be unprecedented. Never before has a presidential nominee entered the full on campaign with a fully assembled team.
Can you even IMAGINE the shock-and-awe wave which would be sent through the Obama campaign were the GOP nominee to do this?
Think about it.

From the word GO it would be unlike any previous presidential campaign.

Instead of simply nominee X against Obama we would have Nominee X vs Obama…Congressman Allen West vs Joe Biden…John Bolton vs Hillary Clinton…Sarah Palin vs Stephen Chu…General Petreaus vs Leon Panetta…Pam Bondi vs Eric Holder…Michele Bachmann vs Tim Geitner…Ron Paul vs Ben Bernake…Bobby Jindal vs Ken Salazar, and Sheriff Joe Arpaio vs Janet Napolitano.

Think about that…Let that sink in…All campaigning at once. There would be no way out for Obama as each and every key player on his team would be exposed and held to account from the word GO. It would be a full on frontal assault, and Obama would have no place to hide.

By adopting this proposal, Obama would be forced into a pot of boiling water or into the fire. If he tried to rid himself of baggage he would be exposed of running from his own record and that of the very people he’s been standing behind for political expediency. If he stays with them, he would be forced to defend them. Boiling water or a raging fire…his choice.

God Bless America..................

What do you think? I think it's a pretty cool idea.

 

[Salty]

Some good choices

 

[OldRegular]

I like Allan West but not for VP yet. First heard of him years ago while as a commander in Iraq he used enhanced interrogation on a prisoner, a pistol in the face! Worked but West was sent home.

Paul Ryan for Secretary of Treasury!

I have thought for years that the nominee should announce his selections for cabinet well before the election.

 

[TadQueasy]

Sounds good on paper, but will never happen.

 

[freeatlast]

There are some people in there I would not want. One is Sarah Palin who I would not want in any form of government position. I have no respect for her at all. She claims to be a Christian but her values say differently.

Second is General David Petraeus. He has made it clear to me that he is a yes man selling his soul to the highest bidder. I base that on him supporting out of the closet homosexuality in the military.
As toPam Bondi no way. She is part of the establishment that sponsors corrupt government.
The rest maybe but some I would want to know more about their political beliefs.

I know, she is hiding behind sin she has not dealt with.

 

[saturneptune]

First impression is that they are good picks.

Every one of them is a great idea.:thumbs:

 

[just-want-peace]

One of the best parts would be the quandary of the dems as they tried to find all the skeletons of this many at one time. :laugh:
Much easier if all they need to concentrate on is Romney & Veep.

 

[kyredneck]

I think Romney would be wise to keep Hillary on as SOS; she's done a magnificent job.

She has already stated that even if the current President wins she will not serve another term with him so there is little reason to believe that she would serve under another President. I believe that she is setting herself to run in the 2016 election.
Secondly there is nothing good in regards to the politics of Hilary Clinton. She is just another socialist. If Mitt Romney wins and if he is wise he will clean house and not bring old baggage on board with him.

Irregardless, the fact remains she has kept us from even more economically catastrophic war, and has not kowtowed to Likud. It's yet to be seen if Romney will follow that path.

I am not sure exactly how she has done that since our spending has increased even though we have basically left Iraq as far a military action is concerned. The costs should have went down if she was saving us money.
In fact her mouth actually got us in deeper trouble with our allies when the papers were leaked about her, as well as others, behind the back stabbing of them. I seriously doubt that was forgiven without some monetary considerations.
Hopefully once she leaves after this election hopefully she will never again be put into any political office as she is just bad news waiting to spring on the nation and world. Right now she is at least being contained.

I never thought I'd be saying this, but I don't agree with your assessment of her. But then again, compared up against her boss she looks like a....well, a lot better than him. Probably better than Romney in the long run. That's just how blurred the line between the two parties have become, sad to say.

How much you think an all out war with Iran is going to cost?

Can you give some links to this? I'd seriously like to know about it, this is news to me.

[SIZE=+0][SIZE=+0][SIZE=+0]I understand. I am just trying to think of some reason to point me to her based on her political ambitions and beliefs. Maybe I missed something about her in her supporting abortion even though she says she would not so it, bigger government, socialist agendas.
She supports the Kyoto protocol, releasing oil from the reserve, higher taxes, cap and trade, is against drilling in the artic reserve.
She stated this in her book which was a quote but she supported;

"The unfettered free market has been the most radically disruptive force in American life in the last generation." She is against strong penalties on illegals and wants to make them citizens.
So unless someone can show me how this woman could be good for this country and the fundamentals it is built on I have no use for her agenda, but for those who do have at it.

I UNDERSTAND. AS I SAID, I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE SAYING THAT ABOUT HER. SHE LOOKS GOOD UP AGAINST WHAT WE'VE HAD! AND, SHE'S KEPT US OUT OF ANOTHER ECONOMICALLY CATASTROPHIC WAR.

But, if you're one of these crackpot right wingnut cases that are convinced it's the endtimes/last days and it's useless to think/plan for the future because there is no future someone like Hillary as SOS doesn't fit into your scheme of things.

Personally, I like her.

[edit] In short, I think she has actually had the welfare of our Union in mind while performing the duties of Secretary of State.

She is all yours, but we are in the last days and have been for 2000 years.

She has been busy not dealing with her sin of depression.

I often agree with you but not this time. Specifically, I would strongly prefer that most of the people listed NOT be on his staff.

That being said, that is the problem with such a strategy. It simply creates way too much division internally and also creates additional targets for the opposition. Plus, there is all the time and effort to properly vet each of the candidates.
