ATTN Lurking Freepers: Any opinions on Kerry's Cabinet?
Dear Freepers,

President Kerry is going to be looking for America's best and brightest for his cabinet. Since he really is a Uniter and not a Divider, I think we can expect that at least one of those positions (if not more) will be staffed by a member of the opposing party.

We know you lurk here, so why don't one of you post a link to this thread, and maybe toss out a suggestion or two? NONE of the CURRENT folks, please.

DUers, any ideas? And also, let's revisit an old topic: what members of Kerry's party should be in which positions? And please, since this I am "asking" Freepers to read this thread, don't post anything "nasty" to them; start a new thread if you can't help yourself. (Freepers, can you extend the same courtesy?)

I'll start: On the Dem side, I'd love to see Wesley Clark as either Secretary of State or Defense and Howard Dean as either Health & Human Services, or put in charge of the DNC.

This fight has become so partisan, I'm frankly not sure who to nominate from the other side.

Best, Ida

1. There aren't many Republicans
I can think of. Maybe McCain or Powell, although both have now been horribly tainted by Bush.

4. Sec'y of Defense
It's gotta be either Clark or Max Cleland -- I'd prefer the latter.

6. Any reason in particular you'd prefer Cleland?
Not arguing, just asking for information. I've become extremely fond of Clark, and was picking him for his previous experience with world leaders. I am not as familiar with Senator Cleland.

7. Clark can't do it ...

He has to have been out of the military a certain number of years before he can hold the post of Sec. of Defense.

9. I'd love to see
Elliot Spitzer (NY Dem) replace John Ashcroft. He's done an amazing job as Atty Gen. for New York State.

There are a few Republicans out there that I like, I'm trying to think of some.

Sorry, I'm not a Freeper.

12. WTF? Why are you so obsessed with Freepers' opinions?
You welcome, even INVITE them to participate here. It's sickening.

If Kerry wants to be a "uniter," so be it. Frankly, I have no desire for the DU bandwidth that I help buy be used to foster discussions of anything with hateful people from Free Republic.

What is your REAL motive?

20. Hohoho...you don't even want to know what I do with the stilettos...
But, since freepers are usually rural hicks, I make them lick a dirty pair of milking boots. :-)

"Are you voting for Kerry!?"
"Yes, Milk maid mistress. Lick Lick Lick!"

You'll have to pass the freeper smell test with me, though, buddy, because I don't entertain the fuckers--nor do I invite them into my home.

35. ya see, I got this here special deodorant
It gets rid of that pesky freeper smell... ya know, chawin' tobacky, stale budweiser, mom's panties, and 2 day-old skid marks.

It never works like it sez on the label... not that I can read, dernit.

41. Have you ever seen Neuticles?
They are those rubber fake testicles for dogs that you can buy and have implanted in a neutered dog so that he still feels manly.

Bill Clinton had neuticles implanted in his dog. After last night, Bush will need some for himself. :-)
