DEPARTMENT OF PEACE - Ron Paul Says He Would Consider Putting Dennis Kucinich In His Cabinet

A riptard campaign spokesman later said Dr. Paul "was only joking."  It would be a solid strategic decision for pragmatic and political reasons, as Kucinich would make a stellar Secretary of Defense in a new era of non-interventionism and neo-con suicides.

The Hill

Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) says he would consider putting the liberal congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) in his Cabinet if he were to win the presidency in 2012.   

Paul said his libertarian political philosophy helps him connect with some on the far left — including Kucinich, who shares Paul’s general anti-war stance.

Paul joked that if he brought the Ohio congressman aboard in his administration, he might have to create a "Department of Peace."

"You've got to give credit to people who think," he said.

"Being pragmatic is about forming coalitions," Paul said at a breakfast sponsored by The Christian Science Monitor. "I probably work with coalitions better than the other candidates. I don't think I've said anything negative here about the president."

He ought to consider making Kucinich his VP candidate.
This would help to secure the backing of left leaning libertarians.
United we can defeat the corporatists that have taken over American politics.

if you read the entire article one of paul's spokesmen says he was just joking and that the ideological differences are too large for Kucinich to have a post in a paul cabinet. When push comes to shove ron paul will toe the republiCON line. And none of the republicons will work with anyone else to save the country.

Good for nothing.
