Walter Williams for VP?

HELL YES he would be a great running mate. He is like Ron Paul as he TELLS the TRUTH.

Wow....would that be a first where we had a president and a vice president at once who did not lie.

Long live liberty, peace, and justice!

But I love reading Walter William's stuff and listening to his interviews and lectures. Brilliant guy who makes economics interesting and understandable.

for president in 1992 and he said he had no interest. He said that his love was teaching and that, on the day he dies he hopes he will have taught class that morning.

Of note, however, is that he will be fill-in host for Rush Limbaugh on Friday and wouldn't it be great if he chose the occasion to endorse Ron Paul. If he feels uncomfortable with a formal endorsement he could at least speak at length about why Ron Paul's economic policies are the only candidate's worth considering.

and Rand Paul is no Ron Paul!

role in a Paul administration. Williams is not an experienced administrator, and at this point after all the 'newsletter' smearing, I think his appointment as VEEP would be seen as pandering.

if Ron Paul chose anyone other than his loyal and trusted friend from North Carolina, the great Rep. Walter B. Jones.

I think Judge Andrew Napolitano would make an excellent running mate for Ron Paul. Judge Napolitano would be the one to help fight for us and the constitution. He is a great supporter of Ron Paul too.

I heard Professor Williams say that he'd gladly accept an appointment as Secretary of Education contingent upon the primary purpose of the position being to shut it down!

Incidentally, I wouldn't mind him being VP, either, and was hoping for just that last election. Now, I prefer The Judge.

Vice President: ?
Attorney General: Kenneth Cuccinelli (Virginia)
Fed Chairman: Jim Grant
Head of CIA: Michael Sheuer
NSA: Wesley Clark
Treasury: Peter Schiff
Press Secretary: Jesse Benton/Gary Howard
Defense Secretary: Douglas Macgregor
Speechwriter: Tom Woods
Council of Economic Advisors: Walter Williams
Cheif of Staff: John Tate/Jesse Benton
Secretary of State: Jim Demint

that Walter would have a place in his cabinet and that may have been Secretary of Treasury.

I love Walter Williams and love the idea of him as the VP ticket. But unfortunately for Williams, and us, this nomination race is gonna run through May, maybe June, perhaps as late as September - leaving very little time to spare afterword vetting a running-mate. I predict Paul will select a running-mate that has already been or that needs very little vetting.

and in my neocon days I loved it around this time of the year when Williams filled in for Limbaugh many times over. He makes much sense and speaks his mind, which can be a both a good/bad thing in politics.

and No again.

but a little too obscure and academic for the general population to latch onto. The correct Walter would be Rep. Walter B. Jones (NC), Ron's long-time loyal and trusted friend. A humble and principled man of great conscience.

I'd like someone like Gary Johnson who I at least feel comfortable with as #2 guy. But don't count your chickens yet. We have a tough fight ahead of us. Let's win Iowa and NH, and then talk about these things.

about Walter Williams here are links to his PBS documentary called Good Intentions. The footage is dated but the message is still really important! It's broken up into 3 parts on youtube and is less than an hour long. He also has written a lot of great books! He would be a great VP and he could finally put to rest this RP is a Racist Crap!!

about Mr. Williams in 2008. Might even have been from the campaign.

Someone with a better memory help me out here.

From a purely political point of view I would say that we are on the verge of a bunch of left leaning people coming over and voting for Ron Paul because they are so angry at Obama. If you want to lose those potential voters then the quickest way to do that is to get Walter Williams on the ticket. Williams is a great guy and a good deep thinker but nothing infuriates and provokes hatred among people on the left like a black conservative. Everyone who was considering Ron Paul would instantly recoil in horror and go back to Obama.
