Republicans Transform
Posted by Frank J. at 11:28 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (32)
"I'm ready to debate Obama!"
A reader of the Corner sent in an idea that I think was a pretty good suggestion: The Republicans stop their feuding and their fighting and combine announcing Fred Thompson as president, Mitt Romney as Vice President, McCain as Secretary of Defense, and Giuliani as Secretary of Homeland Security. This is a cool idea. Now, anyone who is a not a moron likes everything about Fred Thompson, so he'd be a great president. Mitt Romney is a conservative in training, so he'd be good for vice president. The only thing McCain is right on is the war, so why not put him a position where that's the only view that matters. And Giuliani would be a great Secretary of Homeland Security if he would just prove his bona fides on illegal immigration by beating a Mexican drug smuggler to death with a Maglite -- something I'm sure he'd be more than willing to do.

In addition, it could be announced that Mike Huckabee will be the White House Press Secretary where he can use his talking skills for good instead of evil. And Ron Paul could be made a security guard at the National Archives so he can make sure no one messes with the Constitution.

If Republicans announced a ticket with all the frontrunners on it, wouldn't they be unstoppable? They'd be taking the best of each Republican and putting it together into one super Republican -- like Voltron. While each of the robot tigers are kinda cool on their own, they're supercool and unstoppable when put together as the giant robot warrior Voltron (Fred Thompson: "And I'll form the head!"). The Democrats would run fleeing from such a thing and the Republicans would walk away with the election.

Rating: 2.5/5 (1 vote cast)

Seriously, I think that's a great idea. Especially the Voltron part.

Sounds good to me.

Maybe Huck can be our rep to the UN. Seems like a harmless enough place to put him.

Thompson is the stalking horse . . .

#2 - Posted by: RockThrowingPeasant on January 14, 2008 11:41 AM

What a great idea! But can we be sure to hire someone to keep an eye on Ron Paul? I want to make sure he doesn't drool all over the Constitution.

#3 - Posted by: Joseph on January 14, 2008 11:45 AM

Once again, Frank J has his pulse on America and has come up with a no-nonsense end to this never-ending campaign season!

I’d further suggest to just settle things once and for all that President Thompson announce that he has figured out a place in his administration for both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. “Hillary shall from this day forward by Secretary of Lesbian Affairs and Barack Obama shall be my Magic Negro who I shall keep next to me. I will rub his head for good luck whenever I get in a tight spot!” Fred Thompson will get 100% of the vote!!!

#4 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on January 14, 2008 11:57 AM

HAHAHA! What an awesome idea! It's so perfect - I'm surprised no one has thought of this before. I especially like the putting to use of the hippies by ussjimmycarter. Very nice.

Go VOLTR...I mean... FRED!

#5 - Posted by: MJ on January 14, 2008 12:03 PM

Does that make Hillary "Haggar the horrible"? I can see John Edwards as Prince Lothor.

#6 - Posted by: the brain on January 14, 2008 12:09 PM

Y'know, I was pissed at Rudy over the sanctuary city business because of what I heard in the (real) press. Then on the debate he clarified that his "sanctuary" policy was actually to prevent police from questioning the legal status of *witnesses* to crimes. That sounds fine. I figured he was just glazing over the fact that police also don't question the legal status of people who *commit* crimes, but shortly thereafter he came out and explicitly said that his police reported so many illegals who had committed a crime that INS/ICE/whatever asked them to stop because they couldn't (wouldn't/hate America too much to) do anything about it.

I hope that's actually the accurate view, because I don't *like* hating _any_ of the (R) candidates -- even Ron Paul, because as nutty as he is, anybody that throws out lines like "Economists say that if you subsidize something you get more of it" gets a point in my tally.

#7 - Posted by: James on January 14, 2008 12:09 PM

I'd thought about this as well. However, I put Romney as Sec. of Treasury, because I think he could really do some good there. I thought maybe Huckabee as VP, because he's good for talking and not much else. Of course, we'd have to worry about assassination attempts on Fred, but what are the odds of the hippies getting their hands on kryptonite bullets, anyway?

#8 - Posted by: D-Rock on January 14, 2008 12:14 PM

Best idea ever! And I like D-Rock's idea of Huck as VP and Romney in charge of the money.

Fred will form the head. And the blazing sword. And 98% of the sweet, lasery justice.

Who would win a fight between Voltron and Optimus Prime? Fred Thompson.

#11 - Posted by: nightfly on January 14, 2008 12:43 PM

Frank! You've got to stop teasing me like this- it's cruel...

But since we seem to be on our way to a brokered convention anyway, why not?

#12 - Posted by: Browncoatone on January 14, 2008 12:47 PM

Works for me.

SaraK could head up the EEOC.

#13 - Posted by: MAJ Mike on January 14, 2008 01:05 PM

Sweet.
Hey wait....is that an armed security guard or just one of those rent-a-hall-monitor that can just tattle on you?

#14 - Posted by: neocon cowgirl on January 14, 2008 01:30 PM

I'm thinking Duncan Hunter as veep myself.

#15 - Posted by: G Fresh on January 14, 2008 01:31 PM

How about "VodkaPundit" running the ATF?

Need to bring the "'Stach" Bolton back to the U.N. "Chickles" Huck is too stupid for that job.

#16 - Posted by: MAJ Mike on January 14, 2008 01:37 PM

Nah, Hunter should be Sec Def.

Make McCain the US rep to California.

#17 - Posted by: RockThrowingPeasant on January 14, 2008 01:49 PM

John Edwards would be so jealous, he could cry. His favorite part of Voltron....

"Form Blazing Sword"

....FABULOUS!!

#18 - Posted by: SeeBS on January 14, 2008 03:08 PM

Brilliant. One thing we need to fix is the border. Pull off all the border guards currently stationed there, and send in Tancredo.
Just Tancredo, standing on the other side of the river with a soup spoon. Should be enough to deter anyone from crossing illegally

#19 - Posted by: Backofdabunny on January 14, 2008 04:05 PM

HAHAHA

Fred Thompson is going to lose.

#20 - Posted by: Huck-a-bee on January 14, 2008 04:29 PM

Frank J dressed in his AquaMan costume elected to Secretary of Sodomy and Buggering...assigned to the San Fransisco district to "investigate and report back to headquarters"...

#21 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on January 14, 2008 05:38 PM

Finally - someone that agrees with my Silence-of-the-Lambs-Murdering-Buffalo-Bill theory. I blogged about this idea several weeks ago, but with a twist. I want to literally extract the things I like about these candidates out of each of them, and then sew those good things together into My Perfect Candidate. I just hadn't figured out how to not kill them in the process of the extraction. Sort of like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. He murdered his victims and then sewed their skin together to create his perfect skin suit.

Gee. That's gross. I didn't explain that correctly. Here's the link: http://dgsworldbybigd.blogspot.com/2007/11/governmental-goulash.html

Maybe that will make more sense. Thanks.

#22 - Posted by: DGs World By Big D on January 14, 2008 06:01 PM

Well, Fred Thompson is a fantastic breakdancer.

The problem is, the others would only drag him down so that they end up running out of moves (as demonstrated in the link) and have to resort to cutting the terrorists in half with a sword. Come to think of it, that might end up being cooler than simply serving them.

#23 - Posted by: Hazel on January 14, 2008 08:25 PM

I'm stuck on the idea of Ron Paul being a security guard at The National Archives where he'll intercept Sandy (Cheese)Berger trying to heist more Clinton documents. Can you picture it ? (Gun drawn, high pitched voice, ranting, trembling, ...)

#24 - Posted by: Jimmy on January 14, 2008 08:53 PM

Damn. This is a really good idea. I like to see hoe you included Ron Paul . . . while I agree he is a total loon in the way he presents his views, at least he makes it clear that he respects the Constitution. Not presidential material at all, but guarding the Constitution at the National Archives - that's a creative way to put a useful idiot to work. Hell, let him give a tour every now and then, and he'd be happier than a clam in mud.
As for making Fred Thompson the head, couldn't agree more. You even managed to fit in ol'Huck - another loon possessing a useful gift. I don't want him running the country, but I think he'd be a hit in the Press Room. Hell, when at a loss, he could always just dish out weight-loss advice to those reporters. BTW, I gave my $10 to Fred . . . . did you? If not, invest in a sturdy lock.
It won't stop Fred Thompson, but you may have an extra second or two to make peace with God.

#25 - Posted by: Kyzernick on January 14, 2008 11:21 PM
In addition, it could be announced that Mike Huckabee will be the White House Press Secretary where he can use his talking skills for good instead of evil

You stole my idea, Frank! Stop reading my thoughts!

#26 - Posted by: calbear on January 15, 2008 01:45 AM

"robot tigers" should read "robot lions".

Just sayin'.

No I am NOT gay.

Russ

#27 - Posted by: Jeenius on January 15, 2008 08:01 AM

Best. Idea. Ever.

#28 - Posted by: Gabe on January 15, 2008 08:19 AM

I've been saying this for ages. I was gonna blog about it and then I said "well lets see whats on tv" and then it never got written

damn you TV

:shakes fist:

I can definetly see this happening-Thompson is the candidate with the least bad blood with the others (besides huckabee but its not a deep dislike) so he'd make the most sense.

My original thought was Lincoln, who's cabinet was made up of rivals who he beat out for the presidency.

same deal for Fred.

#29 - Posted by: Hari on January 15, 2008 10:28 AM

If we would like to really drive the moonbats into a crazy spasms of barking try this lineup out for size:

Prez = Fred
Veep = Duncan
Sec Def = McCain
Homeland = Rudy
SecState = Newt
SecTreas = Mitt
Sec Commerce = Steve Forbes
AG = Ted Olsen

#30 - Posted by: kalthalior on January 15, 2008 12:42 PM

Hey, the more you hook up, the better it gets.

#31 - Posted by: Basilisk on January 15, 2008 03:04 PM

Better yet: Ron Paul as OMB Director. First zero-based budget since 1798…
