“Truce” is an inflammatory word, no matter how much Mitch tries to walk it back. There really is a culture war. The liberals have unceasingly bombarded our culture for many years. And yet WE are the ones offering a truce?
I wish he’d give it up. There aren’t that many stupid people who will vote for him in the Presidential primary.
He should hang out with Mitt, Newt, Huck and the rest....hey, maybe try that no-labels gig.
Mitch’s track record in Indiana has been to reduce spending and reduce government employment. He has been solidly pro-life and has always had the support of the pro-life community in Indiana. He was allegedly prompted out of the Bush administration because they felt the budget cuts he wanted to make were draconian. I can’t stand Lugar but Daniels also worked for Reagan and I’m not going to fault a guy for what he did in an entry-level job in the political world. These forum comments strike me as awfully knee-jerk because they aren’t based on what the man has actually done. Rather, they sound to me as so much leaping to conclusions while Daniels tries to find his footing on a national stage. I’d rather have Daniels than Hucksterbee or Romney, by far.
He isn’t tied to Lugar and he has always been pro life. He is a health nut and tends to nannyism. I don’t think he must be too tough on immigration either. But then, none of them are but Steve King or Bachmann.
So are you part of the “My Man Mitch” political machine?
The key words are “trying to find his footing on the national stage”. That’s code for, he’s going to go all over the place until he finds a position that sells, kinda like Mitt.
The guy is marked by his own words and deeds. He did cave to the State Dems and spent most of Indiana’s surplus.
I’m more comfortable with someone who has solid conservative positions and articulates them well on the national stage.
No more RINOs .......ever!!
Not part of the Mitch machine, haven’t worked for a candidate for any office higher than sheriff since Pat Buchanan.
I don’t do “code.” My point is that Mitch is a neophyte a lot like Sarah Palin and no question Sarah has had to learn how to speak differently to keep from having her words twisted. Now the press doesn’t twist her words anymore because Sarah has become more speech-savvy—they just attack directly. I think Daniels is going up the same learning curve. Frankly, it stinks that it works that way but the MSM is statist to its core and that’s what we get in 2011 America.
I’m mostly bothered by the kneejerk reactions of people who have no idea as to his track record, good or bad.
Having said that, I wasn’t nec. responding just to you. I’m a long time lurker on Free Republic and still learning how to post.
