    Mitt is filling his administration up with the same old recycled Keyensian economists and foreign policy advisers from the Bush era.

    Because George Bush got SOO many things right.


    Romney’s team starts to look like Bush’s

    Ed Gillespie served as President George W. Bush’s right-hand man and now is a top political adviser to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

    R. Glenn Hubbard and Greg Mankiwled Mr. Bush's Council of Economic Advisers. Now they are Mr. Romney’s economic brain trusts.

    The same can be said for his foreign policy team, where Mr. Romney boasts a number of faces from the Bush old guard, including former CIA Director Michael V. Hayden and former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. Today, they are the former Massachusetts governor’s go-to guys on counterterrorism.

    Recycling these people wouldn't be so bad if Romney would have them turned into new washing machines or something else useful!

    The only way some of those folks need to be recycled is in a Soylent Green sort of way.

    That said, NO incoming President can or will choose a complete band of newbies to the Beltway. Unfortunate, but true.

    Thats way different.

    Not that this is what you were going for when you typed this... Phil502 is right.

    Let's make a full list of Romney's recycled Bush peoples and Paul's recycled Bush peoples. Then we can discuss who served as Bush policy people or department heads and who served as Bush marketing/speech writer/campaign strategists.

    Now, now, Kirk. Don't besmirch the name of the beloved Saint Ron! :D

    Besmirch who ever you want to besmirch... Just please please please do me a favor and when you make comparisons, you might want to consider the scale.

    There is a wee bit of a difference between an hiring an adviser who's hobbies include long walks on the beach, owning company that gets no bid contracts from the government to assess transportation security and being paid to lobby for company that makes full body scanners verses hiring adviser who wants to so violently assault our civil liberties by expecting people to read the books he writes about the first families. :rolleyes:

    Never mind. Ron Paul fanatics are just pissing and moaning about another non issue.

    Seems like the establishment candidates just fill the holes with establishment cronies. How much choice do they have once they have sold their souls to the parties?

    I would presume that most people who become presidential advisers have some kind of political resume.

    What I don't like to see is people being brought back who have a resume of supporting statist policies.
