Daniels — if you want to be President you have to know the public’s mind instinctively.
You’re obviously stalling because you’ve got your pinky up in the air to detect the direction of public opinion.
That is a replay of Mitt Romney’s mistake.
You’re toast.
Mitch obviously has some folks worried.
Probably working on the last of his joint twizers.
I’ve been saying I believe Daniels is soft on immigration for weeks.
But then, all of them are except Bachmann and Steve King.
In addition to this chink in Daniels’ armor, this morning I learned from The Indianapolis Star that Daniels supports use of eminent domain to build an interstate CO2 line from the Duke Energy plant an southern Indiana. The Indiana Senate rejected this use of eminent domain.
Together with a Daniels veto on the Indiana immigration bill, in spite of a decent conservative track record otherwise, I see warning signs that I find troubling as regards a Daniels presidency.
Daniels could, however, split the Romney or Huckebee vote and leave room for victory for a conservative candidate.
“Scratch this dumb bastard off the list. “
Well let’s see:
1) He essentially sells off the Indiana Toll Road to foreign interests.
2) He tells the Republican Party to shut up when it comes to discussing social issues
3) He can’t figure out which side to take regarding illegal immigration.
I AGREE!
This has already been his record, but we should have known still further with so many of the Beltway Establishment pushing him. The uncharismatic midget for undocumented migrants.
Being a Hoosier, let me give you permission from the home office: Scratch away. Daniels is a technocrat, which is better than a bureaucrat, but not by much. His first thought when dipped his toe into the water was to proclaim that all “social” issues needed to take a backseat. I always thought bankruptcy was a social issue... ? Anyone who thinks he will tame the beast in Washington hasn’t read the back of the cereal box yet.
Ping!
Let's be fair. Even Jan Brewer herself was non-committal when SB1070 was being voted on in the AZ legislature. There was even some drama over her decision. Let's wait until Gov. Daniels vetoes a bill which hasn't even passed yet - before we condemn him.
