Reuters is reporting that Mitt Romney is going to go ahead and publicly pick his Vice-Presidential running mate. That is the right decision for so many reasons. And there are so many reasons for the Governor to follow the rest of my advice in this area.
Besides this report of the near immediacy of Romney's announcement of his Veep, there has been the stories quoting Ann Romney that he is strongly considering choosing a woman. There are several names being bandied about.
As she still receives a brunt of rudeness about being the downfall of the Repulsican ticket in '08, and so many other knee jerk jealousies, Sarah Palin cannot be the choice. She should, however, be the last cabinet level Secretary of the Interior.
Past Secretary of State and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice is a fine mind and an outstanding academician. She would, undoubtedly, deflect at least some of the raciality that Obama will use in this campaign. Probably no one in America knows Russia as an adversary better than Condoleezza Rice. But in the big picture of governing the greatest nation in the world in a world of infinite possibilities, probabilities and contingencies, Sec. Rice is a little girl dressed up in Mommie's dresses and high heels. And it's probably not yet a good idea to pick someone so well known as being so closely associated with Geoorge W. Bush.
Since they were seen together at an Independence Day event, there is speculation that Romney will name Kelly Ayotte. She's touted as a Tea Party favorite from a swing state, with a strong background as a state attorney general. She's also another of these freshmen, first term Senators, who's been in office about as long as Obama had been when he made his jump to the Executive Branch. New Hampshire is a puny little swing state and has no real Tea Party conservatism to it. If Romney can't win New Hampshire, right next to his home state, at least his political home state, without her, well, maybe he doesn't deserve to win. Even thinking about this newly elected, first term Senator as a possible Vice-President is more absurdly insulting than the on-going furor to pick Marco Rubio as just another freshman Senator to be elevated too highly too quickly. At least Rubio can possibly attract more Hispanic votes and be a bolster in the not so puny swing state of Florida.
New Mexico Governor Susan Martinez is being mentioned. She's Hispanic and from a swing state with five whole electoral votes. She needs to stay where she is, so that she can, in conjunction with Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to her west deploy their states' National Guards to their southern borders, as Governor Rick Perry, to her east, floats the Texas Navy along the Rio Grande. Gov. Brewer could probably be a considered candidate for V.P., if she weren't such a polarizing personality from her confrontations with King Barry and his Just-us jesters.
Retiring Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson is being mentioned. She's well experienced in Washington politics and a big vote getter. She is also a failed banker and married to a big time lobbyist lawyer and is not needed to get votes from her state. Also, she turns seventy this month.
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley is being considered for her charisma. Consider also her flip flopping stances as political expediency dictates and demands.
One name that I haven't heard which I would have thought would be at the top of a list of women is that of Michele Bachmann. I do prefer that she stays where she is, to help in a more total Congressional Tea Party takeover, in which she would be Speaker of the House and second in line to the Presidency.
I've heard Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin mentioned. I prefer her as Romney's Secretary of Transportation, considering her gubernatorial executive experience and her time serving on the House Transportation Committee.
If political expediency of ethnicity and gender and being from a swing state is the primary purpose in picking a Vice-President, the obvious choice is long time Florida Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtimen. Along with
libertarian stances on many issues, which I appreciate, she also has credentials worthy of a Vice-President,
serving as the Chairwoman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and being a stauch supporter of Israel, which I also greatly appreciate. And she's not another damned lawyer. She's a teacher and principal.
The job of vice-President is too important to be filled by someone just for the sake of political expediencey. It is especially too important this time, as President Romney could very well be our first assassinated leader in fifty years. Whether by a disgruntled New Black Panther or SEIU thug, or a disillusioned rebel redneck, or a religiously retarded internal or international enemy combatant, it is a contingency that needs to be considered like it's never been considered before.
As for men being proferred and promoted for the position are Governors Chris Christie of New Jersey, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Mitch Daniels of Indiana and John Kasich of Ohio. Like the lady governors in the Southwest, these men need to stay where they are, keeping their states heading in the right direction.
We keep hearing Marco Rubio, Marco Rubio, Marco Rubio, as well as Rob Portman. Both are from important swing states, but both are also freshman Senators, who need to keep casting their conservative votes in the new, Republican controlled Senate. Granted, they're both from states with Repulsican governors, who would most likely appoint another Republican to fill one of their vacated Senate seats, but why go to all of that bother, when it's not necessary? Ex Governor and past Presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty? He's plenty good to be the last Secretary of HUD, but that's about it.
House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan has been parlayed as a possibility. Like Senators Rubio and Portman and Congresswoman Bachmann, he needs to keep his conservatism continuing the important work he has been performing in his present position.
Now that I've named all of the people that should not be Romney's running mate, let's move on to how his announcement should go.
"I have called this press conference to announce my choice for my Vice-President and much, much more. Firstly, I will nominate Newt Gingrinch to be Secretary of State, to studiously and strongly reestablish the United States as the country of consequence in international affairs and relations. Despite the negativity raised during the primary campaign, much of it by people working on my behalf, I know it to be distortions, deceptions and not the whole truth. That is politics as it tends to be, which sorrows me. There is no American alive with the impeccable character and conservative credentials of Newt Gingrich. I shall nominate Dr. Ron Paul to be the last Secretary of Health and Human Services. I say last because his prime directive will be to reorganize that department into the Department of Science and Medicine, over which he'll preside as the first cabinet level Surgeon General of the United States, overseeing not only the US Public Health Service, but also the NIH, the CDC and the EPA."
Both men will join Romney on stage, as he announces them. Newt will give a quick blurb, like, "From around the world, respect and regard for this Republic will be reestablished." Dr. Paul will offer, "I shall break down this behemoth of a bureaucracy to its Constitutional mandate in Article I, Section 8, Paragraph 8 to promote the progress of science."
Governor Romney continues:
"I shall also appoint Professor Walter E. Williams as Secretary of the Treasury, Prof. Stephen Carter as Attorney General, Michael Williams as Secretary of Energy, Charles Butler to shut down the Department of Education as its last Secretary and Tom del Bacarro as the last Secretary of Homeland Security."
Each person shall join Romney to make a short (very short; soundbite short) statement. Prof. Williams would say, "We shall return to sound fiscal and monetary policies and practices." The Attorney General Designate would proclaim, "Epidermal pigmentation will no longer be protection from prosecution. I will investigate, and when warranted, indict New Black Panthers, SEIU thugs, Islamoburg inhabitants, the sitting Attorney General and the present President." Commissioner Williams will remind us: "America is the most resources rich part of the planet. We will have inexpensive and inexhaustable energy to power our lives and our society." Mr. Butler will proclaim, "Federal involvement in education is the biggest boondoggle of all. As all politics is parochial, so will be education." del Bacarro declares, "The invasion across our southern border will end and there will be no amnesty for illegal aliens or other invaders." Lt. Gen. Horoho will state, "We will take care of our veterans and their families as they have taken care of us."
Romney continues:
"I shall also nominate Federal Appeals Court Judge Janice Rogers Brown and Texas Supreme Court Justice Dale Wainwright to fill any Supreme Court vacancies, hopefully replacing the Clinton kooks, Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Stephen Breyer." Both judges will promise to "follow the law as I interpret the law in each case coming before me."
Romney goes on:
"Much like the case of Secretary Designate Gingrich, the man I'm choosing to be my running mate and Vice-President was slandered and libeled during the primary campaign to such a degree that familial considerations and concerns caused him to leave the race. In doing my own personal due diligence investigations, I discovered that in the same way that Obama adviser David Axelrod's building neighbor, Sharon Bialek and her Bolshevik barrister, Gloria All-red were found and financed to tell lies about this fine gentleman, so that Obama would not possibly be presented with the dilemma of running against another Negroid, it is my shame and chagrin to have learned that someone working on my behalf paid and proferred Ginger White to tell even more outlandishly outrageous lies about this man, thinking that it would be to my advantage not to have to run against another businessman specializing in institutional turn-arounds and business building. And we've all known all along that the sexual harassment charges against him from his years as President of the National Restaurant Association were so much bull crap and balderdash, as were so many of the many settlement seeking such cases brought during that time. It is because of his private sector experience and expertise and his conservative Christian character, so much like my own, that I choose as my running mate and the next Vice-President of the United States, Herman Cain!"
Herman will announce: "We are going to revitalize and resurrect this Republic from the ground up, starting with our tax code. With the cooperation and consent of a Congress consisting of a Tea Party House of Representatives and a Republican majority Senate, we will immediately implement the 9-9-9 plan, as we work toward the enactment, including the repeal of the sixteenth amendment, of the Fair Tax Act, to get us away from this failed, century old socialist form of taxation on production to a more capitalist system of taxing consumption."
Romney returns to center stage with the others around him, each with his or her own microphone. He states: "We will now answer your questions."

What Would It Be Like Today?
What would it be like today, if the Founders had found a way to abolish slavery in America in 1787, with the adoption of the Constitution? Among the flaws and fallacies within history's greatest document of governance, the foremost is that slavery was allowed to continue.
It wasn't just Southern Caucasoids enslaving Negroids. Caucasoids owned Caucasoids. Cherokee Mongoloids owned Negroids and other Mongoloids. And Negroids owned Negroids. And slavery was not just a Southern thing. The slave trade prospered throughout the North as well.
Lincoln's famous Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 freed less than 50,000 slaves of approximately four million. And that was accomplished more through military might than by political policy. It had no jurisdiction in the South, except in those areas already conquered by the Union army, as the South at that time was a separate and sovereign nation called the Confederate States of America. That is why that that war that pretty much everybody wrongly calls the Civil War was NOT a civil war. A civil war is a war in which two or more factions fight for control of one nation state. The War Between the States, or The American War was a war fought by two different, distinct nations bordering one another. Besides having no jurisdictional authority to mandate policy in the CSA, the Emancipation Proclamation went to great detail to exempt northern states, in which slavery was a thriving business. It specifically exepted the Virginia counties that became West Virginia. It didn't affect specific parishes of Louisiana, which were not 'in rebellion'. The Proclamation didn't affect slave holding in Kentucky or Missouri, as those states did not join the Confederacy. All in all, the Emancipation Proclamation was bullcrap and balderdash until nearly two and half years later, when the force of militarism gave it the force of law.
So, how would American history have changed and how would contemporary American society exist if slavery had never been allowed to exist in constituted America? First and foremost, many more Caucasoids would have realized that there are more inherent similarities between the races than there are visual differences like epidermal pigmentation and hair composition. There would probably be far fewer Negroids in America today, as many of their ancestors would have repatriated to their ancestral homelands in Africa. The ones who would be here would be happy to be here, in the best country on Earth, where they could realize their full, individual potential. They wouldn't be hung up on race, race, race, craving a culture of collectivism and holding a mindset of vengeful victimization. And we'd have never had to endure rap.
