Reply #32: How's this? Carter - Gore

[Old and In the Way]

After Carter wins, he steps down and Gore takes over. Gore names Kerry as his VP. Gore-Kerry running this country.

Appointments: Elliott Spitzer - AG; Patrick Fitzgerald - FBI; Bill Clinton - UN Ambassador; Joseph Wilson - CIA ; Wes Clark - SecDef ; John Edwards - Homeland Security

House Maj Leader: Dennis Kucinich
Senate Majority Leader: Nancy Pelosi

Then we fix the country-

Establish a Truth Commission - Jimmy Carter. Re-open BCCI / Iran-Contra / 9-11 / Iraq War Investigations.

Ferret the neo-cons out of the bureaucracy.

Re-establish the fairness doctrine on publicly owned airwaves.

Cut defense spending by 50% (make it small enough to drown in a bathtub). How much oil is burned just securing the shipping lanes and distribution networks for oil? Re-invest the savings by building a 21st century American economy that's independent (ie import free) of ME oil. Investment focus on overhauling the energy grid (decentralizing it) / transportation infrastructure (mass transit). Make it job intensive.

Rebuild New Orleans properly....and address the real terror facing our country - the destruction and after-effects of a Cat.5 hurricane. Or a 7 R scale earthquake. Does anyone think a terrorist with a bomb could do as much damage to the US as a Katrina category storm? Which has greater probability of recurring again in the future?

With Big Oil running the Executive Banch, US policy defines our national interests as subserviant to Big Oil interests. This has to change.
