I vote for Jim Woolsey. He's a Democrat and it will p!$$ off the Clintons.
Let Pataki run for Hillary's seat. That's a threefer.
Michelle Malkin suggests Peter Nunez:
Peter Nunez, former United States Attorney, Southern District of California (1982-1988), former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Enforcement (1990-1993) overseeing all law enforcement components of the Treasury Department including Customs and BATF, lecturer in the Department of Political Science and International Relations at the University of San Diego and Chairman of the Board of Directors at the Center for Immigration Studies.
Nunez has been in the trenches, has demonstrated his ability and determination to enforce our immigration laws, and has worked with law enforcement officials and agencies on both the northern and southern borders. He gets it. Here's an excerpt from Nunez's congressional testimony in February 2004 on preventing the entry of terrorists into the United States:
"This country must remember that it is based upon the concept of the rule of law. We are a nation of laws - we must abide by the laws we have adopted to deal with the problems of immigration, drugs, and terrorism. It is not enough to pass laws in Congress or in the state legislatures and then ignore them because we are afraid of offending special interests or because of notions of political correctness. And there is no way a country can fight a war against terrorism when it ignores its borders, refuses to enforce its laws away from the borders, and provides sanctuary or informal immunity to those who have broken our laws by coming here illegally or staying beyond their welcome."
Sounds like he deserves a look. We've had enough "politicians".
It's not. Don't be sucked in by propaganda
(You didn't, by chance, believe the "Cheney won't be on the ticket" silliness, did you?)
