I think Kucinich should be Drug Czar |
|
Department of Peace is a nice idea but doesn't have the congressional support to get off the ground. I think Kucinich could accomplish some of its goals as Drug Czar, though.

8. perhaps a conversion, instead |
|
instead of a "war on" Drug Czar, we could have a "legalize" Drug Czar.

3. I'm really tired of anything Czars, almost as tired as I am of Gates. |
|
Czars should be Russian leaders prior to WWI & Gates should be openings in a fence.

4. That's about as likely as Kucinich as Dept. of Peace head, I'm afraid. |
|
Kooch doesn't have the support to be anything but Representative from OH-10.

Let the guy who wants more real drug laws be in charge. We might actually get some real reform out of that.

13. How about in the spirit of true "bipartisanship" |
|
The Dennis Kucinich/Ron Paul REAL 9/11 Commission. No coverup suckups allowed.

14. I don't expect DK to figure in an Obama administration. |
|
Obama has worked hard to distance himself from the left. When he talks about "bringing people together," he means centrist Democrats and centrist Republicans. He doesn't mean the left.
I don't expect to see the left represented at all in his administration, let alone with someone as principled as DK.

Or old school. Tommy Chong.

18. I Think Kucinich Should Be Absolutely Nothing. |
|
He hasn't earned anything and isn't close to being the best qualified for any cabinet position I can think of.
