I would prefer a non-establishment Republican ! I seen some videos of Reagan’s speeches and he ridicules the elitists and comes out and says that we should be allowed to make our own decisions instead of letting a bunch of bureaucrats make them for us from Washington DC. If the Republicans are going to score, they need to drive home the point that the elitists are not the solution, they are the problem or along that line !
Today I heard a Reagan piece where he mocked the “intellectual elite”....very few today would say something like that, the times that we live in is screaming for a grassroots guy or girl that is speaking the people’s talk.
Here is a fan’s description.
“Mitch Daniels is the perfect man for the political culture of Indiana. He ran what was regarded as “the most successful gubernatorial campaign of 2008”. He staunchly eshewed negative campaigning in the two successful campaigns for governor.
Mitch is a fiscal conservative but has no truck with bashing immigrants and homosexuals and other favorite scapegoats of Right Wing Authoritarians. He is not a hater.
Mitch turned down an invitation to give the key note address to the lastest CPAC convention. So Glenn Beck was second choice. One could not have come up with two men with more opposite world views about “social conservatism”.
Mitch would be a worthy standard bearer for the GOP in 2012. But the knuckle draggers who have hijacked the GOP will prevail.
Mitch is too decent a man... “
