Hayes-Krauthammer: Mitch Daniels 2012 Man To Watch

It's Christmas Eve, so let's treat ourselves to something conservative political junkies enjoy: handicapping the 2012 Republican field.

On the Fox News Special Report this evening, panelists Stephen Hayes and Charles Krauthammer both singled out Mitch Daniels as a man to watch. Hayes identifed the Indiana gov as perhaps the true Tea Party candidate—someone willing to speak the hard truths about the need for entitlement reform. The ever-interesting Krauthammer found Daniels' lack of charisma appealing--as an antidote to our overdose of hope-and-change.

Incompetent Krauthammer, pseudoshrink, supports sociopaths into power
when he is in bed with them; like Obama the undocumented sociopath.

I also like Pence a lot!

Daniels is anti-Social Conservative...which means he will not win the GOP nomination. If he were to somehow win, he would lose to Obama because of his Open Borders/Globalist agenda. Daniels selling the Indiana Toll Road to a foreign company is a big non-starter

You do know we have no candidates that aren’t amnesty-lite, don’t you?

LOL, third party!!!!

A psychiatrist IS a M.D. who specializes in mental disorders.

Yep. Here's a recent graduation ceremony for Psychiatrists...

Those are the guys that "socialized" homosexual perverts!

Welcome to FreeRepublic, troll. Signed up yesterday, I see.

Are you another pissant or just another Dim looking for trouble?

Yes, you are "hard2believe", but easy to spot!

Elect Sarah Palin for President 2012

Re-Elect President Sarah Palin 2016

hard2believe: "Those are all good points, I agree with. But don’t you think we need first to do something about our international standing in the world before we are crushed?"

Great point. Good post. Welcome.
What exactly do you think we should do? What?
Can you name one thing?

And, crushed how?

Mitch Daniels: I like this guy.

I hope you’re wrong, insofar as that tends to point to Romney as the nominee.

Sarah Palin effectively threw away the presidency the moment she put herself in a reality show with Kate Gosselin.

Krauthammer worked for Carter and wrote for The New Republic and was a speech writer for Mondale. I’d say if he is not a liberal he certainly leans that direction.

[hard2believe]

Well I believe the first thing is obvious - work - actually labor - to make sure Obama doesn’t get re-elected. We need to shore up our previous friends. We can pull them back because they need us as much as we need them. We need to re-establish our strength in world leadership. We need show we know what we are doing as far as our financial house is concerned to show strength as well. Crushed? I believe we are going to be crushed by China and eventually India (financially at least) if we don’t become a productive nation again. It should be criminal to farm out our jobs. Americans think they are getting a bargain shopping at Wal-Mart. Oh really? HoW about first point being, you’re probably being monitored much more than you think now with their new “don’t forget we’re watching” large screen with Napalitano. When we have farmed mfg all most of our goods out to China is it really a bargain when Americans can’t find jobs? When we have to worry about what they are putting in our medicines? When we don’t know how much lead they are putting in dishes and glassware from China? When the quality of their meat looks one grade above horse meat? When you take this cycle 360, we’ve actually lost! Just the one point - mfg our medicines - just one tiny ingredient could take our entire society down. Sounds paranoid, but I really don’t care. We need to start realizing how at risk our society is due to big government rules.

I have watched and it is not a reality show at all. It is a great show about Alaska. I hate reality shows it it is not one at all!! Have you watched it? Maye you should watch Huvabee’s Fox it probably would suite you better...Go Sarah Go!!

[Behind Liberal Lines]

I think Huck’s a buffoon and a statist.

And policywise, I’m generally with Gov. Palin.

That doesn’t mean I’m blind to some of her more foolish decisions, including the one to bring a reality show idiot with a clown car for a uterus onto her TV program.
